Thank you all for the reviews and follows, i hope your happy with this next chapter :)
I just couldnt help myself.

I put Elena to bed, tucked her in and went back to my lounge, furious at the man standing before me. I hadnt spoken a word other than 'goodnight' to Elena since she called Dimitri her father.

I wasnt mad that she knew, I was glad. I was pissed off that he lied to me and told her anyway.

" Rose listen" Dimitri began, I closed my eyes and held up a hand signalling him to stop.
With a deep breath I spoke.
"No, you dont get to speak right now" I was still trying to take steady breaths.
"Roza, you need to listen. I didnt tell her" I knew he was telling the truth, even if I didnt want to, I wanted to blame him but truthfully it wasnt his fault. Deep down I had a feeling I knew who it was, the only other person who would tell Elena the truth no matter what.
" I believe you" I walked the kitchen to make a hot chocolate.
"Do you want one?" I asked the Russian standing by the bench, opposite me.
" Sure" he nodded.
"The trick is doubling up" I said, remembering what he had told me a long time ago.
"hmm, i've heard that before" he laughed.

It was moments like this that warmed my heart, honestly I could deny it all I liked but the fact of the matter was that I was still madly in love with Dimitri, no matter what had happened I just could not let go completely.
These last two years it was dulled by his missing presence, but it was never gone.
"Now that she does know, can I take her tomorrow again?" Dimitri asked. This stirred something inside of me, I had been informed we were leaving tomorrow, how was I supposed to break that to him?
I decided on quick like a bandaid.
"No" his expression was hurt, so I continued. "No because, well we wont be here tomorrow. We're going home Dimitri." the poker face was back and I felt a distance that I did not welcome.

" Your going home. Were you even going to tell me Rose?" he was mad.
"No I wasnt" I sighed "You here and your saying things, things that I have wanted to hear for the past two years, things you shouldnt be saying because I am hanging on by a thread, keeping my distance is exhausting, but so is being around you Dimitri, dont you get that. Im exhausted, work, parenting and everything in-between, its exhausting and to add having to say goodbye, for the third time, thats not something I can do."

" Stubborn as ever Roza, you think im going to let you walk out of my life again especially when I have a daughter who I barely know but already love, your crazy. If you go I go too"
Dimitri was smiling, as he moved closer.

"I dont think that is a very good idea Dimitri" he was still moving closer.
"why not?"
"its just not, back up" he was too close now, so I shoved him, he was surprised.
" You know what your doing and its not fair, on me or on her" I moved closer to him this time.
" sure you can follow us home, but there isnt a place there for you Dimitri, now go."
he looked like a sad puppy, but hell if I was going to let him worm his was back into my life.
He left and I went to bed, to a sleepless night thanks to my subconscious chastising me for pushing away the love of my life. That wasnt the only reason though. Of course Adrian decided to invade my privacy again.

"Little Damphir, finally asleep." as soon as he finished I punched him square across the face.
"How dare you, you dont think I know it was you?"
"actually I counted on it" he spoke, rubbing is face. "He needed to know Rose and so did she. Now you can have you happily ever after or whatever, personally I prefer a nice bottle or Scotch"
"i dont want to here it, get out of my dream"
"Rose, im sorry I really thought it would be better" Adrian apologised.
"Just let me sleep adrian" I was defeated. By two men in my life.
Adrian left and I returned to a stirring sleep.

We were boarding the plane when a guardian approached me.
"Guardian hathaway, we just got word that Guardian Belikov has been seen on court and requests to see you once we land"
"Of course he does. Ill handle it, thank you" who was I kidding thinking Dimitri was the type to back off, I knew as well as everyone else he didnt leave things alone. Now he was waiting at court, well he would be waiting a long time.
The plan was long, I drifted out of conversation with Lissa and Christian and watched Elena sleep most of the trip.

Arriving at court it was dark early since daylight savings had ended, I made no detour on my way home, Elena was asleep in my arms and the guardians had already brought around the luggage.
I could sense him before I saw him, standing right by my door, all six foot seven, hair tied back and duster on, even though the weather was warm.

"This is stalking you know" I rolled my eyes as I unlocked the door and headed straight for Elenas bed to put her down. Dimitri followed.
"I told you I would do it" he replied standing against the door frame watching me tuck our daughter into bed.
" Your a great mother, you know, shes lucky" he nodded to Elena.
" I do what I can" I replied walking away and half closing her door.

" why did you come?" I asked when I was back in the lounge.
" I've told you time and time again, im not walking away, from our daughter or from you again" he moved close to me and kissed me briefly on the lips, then pulled away and turned to leave.
"Dimitri" I grabbed his arm pulling him back, and that was it.

He turned around, his lips found mine. The kiss deepened fast, turning sweet to hot and passionate.
His hands tangled through my hair, the other trailed the small of my back, as one of mine trailed his whilst the other was wrapped around his neck.
We backed into a wall, my hand went from his back to the hem of his shirt, his lips only ever leaving mine to trail kisses down my neck.
I took off his top and through it on the floor, his hands were removing my top and my hands unbuckled his belt.
I laughed as his kissed worked their way further down my neck and around my collarbone.
Dimitri lifted me so I was straddling him, and with the help of my direction, he led me to my bedroom, all the while never breaking the kiss.
Once on the bed the clothes were soon gone, we were lost in each other just like we were in the cabin and the hotel room, only this time it was different, better, those two years seem to wash away when our bodies were clinging to each other.
By the end of the night I wasnt quite sure where he ended and I begun, but I was sure that the love of my life was next to me, naked and asleep. A thought hit me then, how where we going to do this? What were we going to do, even though I was content like this, I new we had a list of things to talk about in the morning.
