Epilogue
"Do you Rosemarie Hathaway take Dimitri Belikov to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Oh my god! I'm getting married! I'm getting married! And to Dimitri! Oh this has to be one of the best days of my life. Shut up with your inner monologue and say I do! He's going to think you're having second thoughts!
"I do." I said whilst looking into Dimitri's addictive brown orbs. How did I get so lucky?
"And do you Dimitri Belikov take Rosemarie Hathaway to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Please say ye. Say yes. Of course he's going to say yes. He wouldn't have asked you to marry him if he didn't want to marry you. He could still say no. But if you look into his eyes you can see that he won't say no.
"I do." Those two words made me the happiest I've ever felt.
"Then by the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." Dimitri let go of my hands and lifted my veil pulling me in for our first kiss as a married couple. And boy was it a good one. Our lips fit together perfectly in a caring and passionate battle for dominance. It took someone clearing their throat to remind us that we were in a church in front of our family and friends. Dimitri's arm wrapped around my waist as he pulled me down the aisle whilst being bombarded with confetti.
"Happy?" Dimitri asked me when we reached the entrance. I pulled him in for a kiss.
"So happy." Lissa my bridesmaid and a vision in pink pulled me into a hug at that moment.
"Congratulations! And you look gorgeous. I hope my wedding will be as beautiful as yours." Christian had proposed to Lissa not long after the masquerade ball. I looked down at my ivory wedding dress. A silk bodice and skirt covered in ivory lace with long lace sleeves.
"Come Rose. Let's begin our forever." he said as he pulled me out into the night and into our future.
One year later
"Mr. and Mrs. Belikov. I would like to introduce you to your new baby girl. The woman standing opposite handed me a bundle of joy. A pair of big brown eyes stared up at me as an adorable smile spread across her cute face giving her rosy chubby cheeks. Brown curls had begun to mass on top of her head.
"How can someone not want something so cute?" I asked unsure as to whether I wanted to know the answer.
"The father was never in the picture and the mother couldn't give up her guardian position to look after a child. So she put her up for adoption. She didn't even give her a name." I turned to Dimitri who was awestruck at the baby girl cradled in my arms.
"What should we call her?"
"I like Kara," he said smiling down at our new baby.
"What about Kara Marie Belikov? I like that. What do you think?"
"I love it," he said kissing the tip of my nose. We filled in some more paperwork and then took our daughter to Lissa's apartments in the palace. I knocked on the door and waited. The door swung open to reveal my best friend, Queen Lissa.
"Rose. Dimitri. What are you two doing here? I thought you were on holiday?" Kara chose that moment to make her presence known by releasing one of the cutest giggles I've ever heard. Lissa's face dropped as she edged closer to us. She pointed at Kara. "That's a baby." She said stating the obvious.
"Well done, Liss. You are very clever. I knew there was a reason that you became queen." She looked at me gob smacked before motioning for us to follow her inside.
"What I meant was why do you have a baby?" she asked whilst we sat down in the living room.
"Well as you know two dhampirs can't have children. And Dimitri and I wanted to start a family. So we adopted our beautiful, baby, dhampir daughter. Kara Marie Belikov say hello to Auntie Lissa." I moved her so that Lissa could pick her up out of my arms. Lissa cradled her in her arms whilst cooing,
"Hello Baby Kara. I'm your Auntie Lissa and I'm going to spoil you rotten." I couldn't help but laugh at Lissa's baby talk. Kara was the most beautiful addition to our growing family. I'm sure she will make great friends with Lissa and Christian's daughter Dana. I wonder if they will be as close as Lissa and I as they grow up. One can only hope. We spent awhile talking with Lissa before returning to The Belikov Household. I carried Kara up to her new bedroom and placed her sleeping form in her new crib.
"May angels watch over you my beautiful baby girl." Dimitri appeared behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist pulling my back flat against his chest.
"Why would she need angels when you are her mother?" Such a sweet line.
"Easy Comrade. Stop trying to seduce me in front of the baby. Bad Daddy."
"But the question is, have you been a bad mummy?" he growled in my ear.
"What you gonna do? Put me on the naughty step?" He looked deep in thought before answer.
"No. I'm going to spank you." I laughed.
"You'll have to catch me first." I said before making a break for it.
"Why must you play games with me, Roza?" he shouted after me.
"Because you play along."
"And why is that?"
"Because you love me?" I asked unsure as he grabbed me, pinning me to the wall before assaulting my mouth with his addictive lips. When he pulled back he whispered in my ear,
"Forever and always. Because without you I don't make sense. Without you I'm incomplete."
That's it for Incomplete :'(
Thank you so much for reading this story until the end. It has been a whirlwind for Rose but she finally got her Russian god. I just hope there's one out there for me :P
