"why did you leave?" he sounded paina and I looked away, sitting on my bed.

"You were leaving me." I looked back up to his eyes and they looked pained and dull with saddness, I had to look away.

"I didn't go." she said after a while, so quitly I almost didn't hear him.

"Why?" I asked loking at him, sadness in my eyes and pain on my face.

"She wasn't you." I looked up at him and he looked down at me, sitting besde me on the bed. "I wanted to leave so you could b the best you could, and I didn't want to gt you into trouble and not be Lissa's guardian, but when I was meat to leave with Tesha, I got to the plane, but I turned back. Coming back to ou, but you were gone." his accent shone thick in his voice and I loked at him. "I couldn't go through with it because I was - am- still in love with someone else and it wouldn't be fair on me to try to fall in love with someone else."

"Dimitri-"

"No Roza, I loved you when I had to be our Russian Jailer-" I laughed a little at that, "- and I loved you when you left me, and I loved you for the four years you were gone, and I still love you now."

I was about to open my mouth but there was crying and screaming from the next rooma and I shoot out of my rooma and ran into Lissa, seeing her cry and scream. Rose was tryign to get her to wake up.

I touched Lissa's forehead and she shoot up, her eyes bloodshot and she had tears in her eyes.

"You didn't leave me?" I smiled at her and picked her up as soona s everyone else ran into the room.

"I'll never leave you, Baby. We have each other." I sighed as her tears fell down my back. "what was your dream."

"You left me like Daddy did with you and I was all alone, James wasn't even around." she currled her head into the crook of my neck and I looked over at everyone but my eyes rested on Dimitri for longer then anyone else. He looked shocked at what she said, but I had to answer my dauhter anyway.

"I'll never leave you like Daddy left me." I saw pain in Dimitri's eyes and realisation. I heard Liss in my head.

Rose, why does she look like Dimitri?

I sighed and looked at and then at everyone else.

"Her full name is Lissa-Janine Oleana Hathaway Belikova." everyone looked at Dimitri and me.

"that's impossible." my mothr said loked at her grand daughter.

"Shadow-kissed!" Liss smiled at me as she picked Rose out of the bed. I nodded my head.

"shadow-kissed." I reapeated and looked down at Lissa.

"Mommy, you look happier." she smile and currled into me. I nodded my ehad and stood up, and handed her to Dimitri.

"she's your daughter." Dimitri picked up his dauhter and he siled one of his rear smiles. Lissa looked at Dimitri and hugged him. I knew she always wanted her father around, and that's why we came here.

My phone started to ring and picked it up not checking the caller ID.

"Hathaway."

"Well Rose, nice of you to check on me and letting me know your alive and not maled by the bears." he mad a hissing sound a cat would make when felt threatened and I laughed at him.

"Sorry Jim." Lissa's head shoot up and looked at me. I sighed. "She wants to talk to you." I handed the phone to her and Dimitri put her downa and she ran over to the phone.

"Mommy's happy again." was the first thing she said and I rolled my eyes. "I know she's always happy since she had me." I sighed and satdown. "I know she always says it." I laughed knowing what they were on about. "guess what Uncle Jim!" she squelled and ran over to me sitting on my lap. "No! Mommy is cooking my my pancakes and muffins and always will, right?" she looked at em and I laughed nodding. "No she said she was so there." she stock her tounge out and everyone laughed. "I found my Daddy." Dimitri's eyes shone. "Kay." she said and handed me the phone.

"You okay yea?" he asked and I sighed.

"I think so." Lissa ran back over to Dimitri and I smiled.

"Best Birthday presnt she is huh?" she asked with a laugh, and I nodded.

"The best present ever." I looked at Lissa and she beemed at me. "hey!" I got serious, now and all but yelled. "If your on the phone to us, who runnig my club!" at that moment he laughed nurvasly and hung up and I laughed.

"Mommy told him." Lissa laughed and so did I.

Today was my birthday and Liss insited on taking everyone out fordinner to celebrate and I had to accept because Lissa wanted to go. I sighed and went shopping yesterday for her dress. She loved it. Its been two days after Lissa's birthdya and she truly was the best birthday preset I could have asked for. She was happya and smilya and I loved her. I had invited everyone around for breakfast and was making pancakes, muffins and doughnuts. They were all healthy because I put loads of fruit in them. I was just fiishing the first part of the brakfast which was pancakes when there was a knock on the apartment door.

Lissa shoot out of the kitchen knoking over some flower so it got in my hair and on my nose. I sighed and continued to cook. Lissa came back in started helping me cook and turned up the music and we danced around the room cooking and laughing sn everyone in the room started laughing at us but we just shrugged and continued. Lissa got Rose to helpa and she was dancing around the room. When we finished we all llauhed and so did everyone else.

"Brakfast, is a-served!" I laughe and sat nest to Lissa and like for her birthday she made me eat her pancakes but I refused to give her back her fork and she laughed load.

Dimitri POV (Yeawwww)

I'm father? I'm afther of the daughter of the woman I loved. I had called my family and they were so happy for me. They also wanted to meet the two girls in my life, but Roza might be hard. I stll loved her and I always would. She was just beautiful. Her curves looked more shard and beautiful, her hair, longer and more darker as were her eyes. Clouded darker from hurt.

Her smiled was beautiful. She was raident. She glowed with beauty. Our daughter pulled pancakes in roza's mouth but Roza refused to give the fork back which cause Lissa to laugh. I smiled.

She gave our dauhter my mothers name. I only said it once to Roza before and she remembered. I smiled. When breakfast was over Lissa ran out of the room and Roza wouldn't let anyone do the dishes and scutted them out of the room as she did them herself. I smiled but didn't leave. Her back was turned to me so I walked as quitly as I could and spun her around, putting my lips on hers and kissed her. She was shocked but kissed me back and her arms went around my neck pullign me closer. I put my hand in her hair and the other on the small of her back and pushed her closer to me. The fire was still there from the first tim I kissed her and it only got stronger. Our tounges fought for dominace but she soon gave up and leaned closer into me. I didn't even hear the door open, but there was sighs from the Princess. Roza and I broke apart but didn't spring apart, she rester her head on my chest and looked at The Princess. Roza sighed happily.

"Mommy are ou happy?" our daughter asked. She looked so much like Viktoria when she was younger. To answer Roza picked her up and kissed my neck and we all hugged together.

"Never been happier." her eyes shone with love and I knew my eyes showed the same.
