Rose's POV

2 years later

December was turning two soon, her soft brown eyes looked up at me, confused.

"Mama? Why are you sad?" she asked me.

"Oh baby," I said sweetly, picking her up, "I'm not sad."

She nodded, "Yes you are mommy, is it because of daddy?"

I shook my head, and headed to the sink to finish washing the dishes. December ran after me, asking if David was coming over tonight.

"Yes, David is coming over tonight."

She smiled so brightly I thought the sun would burn out. David was my fiancee, he had finally proposed to me, and we hadn't really planned the wedding yet. I still had a scar on the back of my hand from Cassandra's nails digging into my hand as she dragged me to Dimitri. I shivered. Dimitri, my old lover, my old friend, gone-dead, forever. I still remember that last night with each other, the night in the cabin. The place where I lost my virginity, the place where Dimitri promised everything to be alright, the place where my heart broke. It was the place December was made, my little baby, the only bit of Dimitri I have.

Just then the door bell rang, Lissa was at the door, smiling.

"Hey Rose, hows it going?"

"Better. My legs are still sore from that horrible jog yesterday, but it's improving." Lissa laughed and looked around.

"Yes Lissa, looking for someone?"

"Yes, my niece!" just then December came running out, marker all over her face smiling like crazy. Lissa and I laughed.I picked her up and thought hard. I was turning 20 soon, and I had never felt so old before. I groaned dramatically as I picked her up, making her giggle.

"Where is David?" Lissa asked. Lissa taunted me because she got married before me, and got a job before me. Although guarding Lissa is my job technically I can't get another one unless Lissa dies, which is never gonna happen under my watch.

"Is he still at work?" I sighed.

"He's always at work. He's not coming home till Winter Break, gets two weeks off. That's when the wedding is gonna happen. But he is visiting for tonight, then he has to head back." Lissa smiled, and December tried to jump out of my arms. Lissa made me drop December and she dragged me upstairs.

"Rose, I need to tell you something." She was blushing like mad, and I was starting to get suspicious.

"Yes Mrs. Ozera?" which of course made her blush harder.

"Uh Rose, don't kill me please. But." she cut herself off as I looked behind me, standing there was David.

"David!" I shouted, jumping into his open arms. We kissed so hard for so long I was losing track of time.

Lissa coughed, and pointed behind us. December was starting to run up the stairs. We stopped and she screamed happily and ran to David. December thought that David was her new dad, as I had told her her old dad died before she was born, which was technically true. But it also wasn't. They both went downstairs, and Lissa was about to resume when a voice called.

"Mommy! Mommy!" she called me over.

"Yes sweetie?"

"Daddy told me that you were getting marrered?"

We all laughed.

"No sweetems, married." David corrected sweetly. He was sitting in a small chair at the little table December plays at, which was waaay to small for him. December was tormenting him by making him color with him, and face painting. Around 7 I decided to put December to bed. David smiled at me sweetly, and gave me a big kiss holding me tightly to him.

"Okay, okay, hands off!"

"Not for long hopefully." he smiled at me, and I blushed. Just then Lissa came up and started to tsk us.

"Are you two being naughty?" she asked, I was about to answer but David answered before I could.

"Not yet." he said with a smile. I blushed even deeper. Lissa looked between us, and I pulled apart, walking down stairs with her.

"Come on Lissa, lets get you home before you hurt yourself." she laughed, but agreed. I got in my car and drove her to her house. Christian was on the porch, a glass of wine in his hand. My eyes popped a little when I saw the look on his face when Lissa walked out of the car. It was like a man getting to date the perfect person, having them all to themselves, and being very selfish, and naughty.

"Bye Liss, see ya tomorrow?" she nodded and both of them ran inside, and I heard Lissa yelp.

When I got back I couldn't find David all downstairs, so I went to check the upstairs. I was walking to our room when David grabbed me from behind, picking me up and running. I screamed, and then giggled. He threw me on the bed and I bounced there a couple of times.

"What are you doing!" I asked, giggling hysterically.

"What I was gonna do if Lissa hadn't interrupted us." he said, calmly stalking towards me.

"Ooh, fun!"

"It will be." I laughed, and the fun began.

The next morning December came running at around six in the morning, she jumped up on the bed, and I was not ready to wake up.

"Mommy! Mommy! Come down stairs!" she said, pulling on my hair. I groaned and hid my head under the pillow.

"Mommy! Wake up." she said, hoping on my side and bouncing. I groaned again, my eyes opening. I picked her up, and started to tickle her. She laughed, hard, as I saw tears falling down her face.

"That's what you get for waking Mommy up so early in the morning!' I continued to tickle her till she started screaming for me to stop. She gave me no time to catch my breathe before tackling me.

"Oof! Okay December. December Marie Hathaway! Stop it now!" I shouted when she started to pull my hair. She looked guilty, and got off the bed, running away. Sighing, I walked after her. David was gone, and I knew he would be. I wasn't gonna see him for another month, but I didn't care. He was mine, and I was his, and so was December.

Jus then December came running to me, a letter in her hand. I found this in my bed when I woke up Mommy, can you read it for me?" she asked nicely. I nodded and opened the letter up

Hello sweety, I couldn't help but visit you and your mother last night, although I wish that was me in bed with you, not that idiot David.
Anyways, I wanted to give you a letter to tell you and your Mommy that your Daddy is in fact, not dead. I am very much alive, and I love you both so much.
I wish to see you both soon. I love you December.
I love you too Rose.

-Dimitri.

"I love you too Rose." a voice said. My eyes widened and December's face went confused.

"Mommy, whose that?" she asked, pointing behind me. "And is it not Daddy!" she was scared, and I picked her up. I turned behind me, and standing there was Dimitri.

I shook my head.

"Dimitri Belikov, look who showed up. Wanted to play Daddy for a little while?" I asked. He smiled, his red eyes gleaming.

"I don't have to play." he said, walking towards us. I stiffened, December whimpering. He walked right up to me, and he put a hand on her face. She turned her head, biting his finger.

"Evil man! Go away!" she screamed, hiding in my neck.

"I guess your daughter doesn't want to say hello to Daddy, huh Dimitri." he glared at me for a second, before taking December out of my arms. I was starting to panic, what if her hurt her! Dimitri stroked her hair, then her face. He shook his head, smiling sweetly. Just then, something scared me shitless. Dimitri's eyes were brown.

"Rose, I came here to tell you something. Something important."

"Yes?"

"I need to drink our daughters blood." My eyes widened, shock filling me.

"Not kill her, just drink some."

"Wha-wha-why?" I stammered, scared as shit.

"It's the only way I can become a dhampir again Rose. I found this out, because it happened before. A Moroi man, had a child with a dhampir. He was turned Strigoi. Years later he saw his son again, not knowing it was his son. He drank his blood, and was turned Moroi again."

"How, how do you know?" i asked, wanting December back in my arms, her face of pure terror.

"Because it was my father. He feed off me, and became Moroi again." I stood still, not doing anything. And Dimitri did something that made me pass out.

He bite our daughters neck.

Hey guys. I know you want to kill me, it's been a while, yes yes, I know. Don't worry, I'll be faster for the next one.
