This is it. Last part of this story. No changing my mind. Sorry. I'm just not a fan of AdrianxRose… Well here goes nothing :)
Epilogue:
2 years later.
I heard Nicole run into the room, with out seeing her. I had my eyes closed and was concentrating on Adrian.
"Okay… Now a deep breath." He said softly and I breathed deeply.
"Momma, Uncle Dimka is here with Mrs. Tracy and Gracie!" Nicole exclaimed. I heard Dimitri and Tracy enter the room. I took one more deep breath before opening my eyes. Dimitri stood there holding his 1 year old daughter, Grace Inga Belikov. Grace had dark curly locks that grew extremely fast. She had Dimitri's soft brown eyes too.
Tracy, Dimitri's wife, had soft curly red hair and blue eyes. Tracy worked at Nicole's school so Nicole knew her. I grinned up at them.
"What's up, Comarde?" I asked. He laughed.
"Ya look a bit bloated there, Rose." He grinned at me and Tracy laughed. I swatted his leg.
"I may look like a balloon, but I can still take you, Belikov. Watch it." I smirked, challenging him. Adrian merely shook his head and helped me off the ground. I collapsed onto the couch and Nicole sat next to me, touching my very pregnant stomach. Tracy sat on my other side with Grace in her hands.
"How's Little Elliot?" Tracy asked with a soft smile. I looked to Nicole.
"You want to tell them, baby?" My eight year old grinned excitedly.
"Elliot is 'posed to come out in 2 weeks." She held up two fingers. Dimitri's face looked shocked.
"So soon?" He asked as he sat in the chair opposite the couch. Adrian disappeared into the kitchen. I laughed.
"Soon? Dimitri, it's been nine mouths, quite the opposite of 'soon'." I teased him. He shook his head, looking like he was thinking. He had recently cut his hair. It was short and shaggy now. I didn't like it, but I had no say in it, so I stayed quiet.
"Can I hold Gracie?" Nicole asked, happily. Tracy smiled and handed a squirming Grace to Nicole. The doorbell rang.
"I got it!" Adrian called as he went to the door. I heard it open and a chorus of 'Merry Christmas's'. Then many feet trekking into the living room. I looked at the crowd with a smile.
"Hey, you all made it." The people were: Lissa, Christian, Henry, and Josh Ozera; my mom and her boyfriend Donato Rossini; Abe Mazur; Daniella and Nathan Ivashkov; and Sydney Sage with her fiancé, Sean Carey.
Everyone had brought presents. They set them by our Christmas tree with the million other gifts. They all found a seat, whether it was on a chair or the floor as Adrian brought out snacks and drinks. My mom broke the silence.
"Nika, when is your baby going to be born?" She asked with a smile, holding out her arms for Nicole to sit in her lap.
"Two weeks!" Nicole shouted as she ran to my mom's lap. I laughed as Adrian sat next to me.
We sat around for about an hour talking before we started opening presents. Most of the presents that I got were baby stuff for Elliot. I was happy with my family and friends surrounding me.
After Everyone Left
I sat down on the bed next to Adrian, exhausted. It was 8:30 and we had just put Nicole to bed. I was facing away from Adrian, taking off my shoes.
"Rose." Adrian said and I turned around to smile at him.
"Ya, baby?" He smiled and pulled out a long black box. He handed it to me. I took it, grinning.
I opened it slowly and gasped.
"Merry Christmas." He whispered.
It was a long silver necklace with four pendants on it. There was a man, a woman, a little girl, and a little boy. Adrian, me, Nicole, and Elliot. Tears came to my eyes as I embraced Adrian in a fierce hug and kissed him.
"I love you, Adrian."
Ta-da!
