Here is chapter five! Please review and as I said b4, I'm having writer's block. So if you want more chapters, send me suggestions unrelated to this chapter. Like what will happen in Rose and Dimitri's future and blah, blah, blah. Thanks to my two reviewers! You guys are sooo awesome!


I jolted forward, causing my eyelids to fly open in surprise. I wasn't in an airplane. I was in the backseat of taxi cab. I turned to the side and discovered Dimitri watching me with amused eyes.

"What?", I asked.

He shook his head and smiled. "Do you know you slept the whole entire plane trip? And we're at my house now." He motioned his hand at the window.

My eyes widened at the sight of his house. Just as I remembered it.

Dimitri helped me out carefully as he tipped the taxi driver.

I yawned and stretched. Almost twenty hours of sitting down and being carried by Dimitri. I was so spoiled.

I helped Dimitri with the luggage and we carried them to the front steps.

I watched as he knocked.

Nothing.

He knocked again.

A few minutes later, nothing.

He tilted his head to the side and turned to me, placing the luggage down. "I'll go around back to see if I could get someone to open the door from there. You stay here in case someone comes."

I nodded as he lowered his head and gave me a peck on the lips. Then, he turned the corner and disappeared.

I leaned against the outer door-frame and waited. There was a soft foot steps in the house. I straightened myself up and waited until someone opened the door.

It was Dimitri's mother, Olena. She was carrying a blue bowl filled with flour and water. It looked like she was making something before she opened the door.

She wasn't looking up. Probably because she thought I would be someone who comes here regularly.

"Здравствуйте, могу ли я—", she said as she looked up to see who I was.

My mouth turned up into a small smile. "Hi, Olena. It's me Rose. Remember?"

Her eyes went wide. It looked like she was going to drop the bowl at any second. "Ro—Rose. Is it really you, my child?"

I nodded.

She squinted her eyes to prevent tears from falling. She held the bowl in on arm and placed the other hand on my cheek. "You haven't changed a bit."

I smiled and nodded again.

"But what are you doing here? In Baia?"

I opened my mouth to speak but I got only mid-sentence until I was interrupted. "Well me and—"

"Roza, nobody's back there." Dimitri's voice was getting closer. His footsteps getting louder.

I looked at Olena and grinned. She waited at the door with a quizzical look. I didn't think she recognized his voice.

Dimitri rounded the corner then stopped when he saw his mother. It was like he was a statue. A very godlike statue.

Olena's mouth dropped open. A single tear fell from her eyes.

She was in so much shock, she dropped the bowl she was holding, not

caring even though it made a huge mess.

Dimitri was the first one to break the tension between them. "Mama.", he said. That one word made Olena sprint forward and fall into Dimitri's arms.

She was crying and placing kisses on Dimitri's cheek while he bent down halfway. "Oh, Dimka! How? When? What? Where?", she asked, not knowing where to begin.

Dimitri smiled. "Rose saved me by having her friend heal me. I came back from the undead, and I'm a dhampir again."

Olena turned to me and hugged me until I felt like suffocating. "Thank you! Thank you! Oh, thank you, Rose! Thank you for saving my son." She planted a kiss on both of my cheeks and went back to hugging Dimitri.

"Sonya and Karolina are upstairs. I'll go get them. They won't believe it when they see you!", she said excitedly. I'd never seen her this happy.

She practically skipped inside the house, steeping over the pile of mushy slim.

Dimitri had a grin he couldn't wipe off his face. "Come, Roza. Let's go inside." He took my hand as we carried the luggage inside and sat down on the cloth covered, blue loveseat.

A minute later, there was two loud screams coming from upstairs. Fast footsteps shook the roof and stormed downstairs.

Karolina was the first to arrive, followed by Sonya.

They hadn't changed a bit. Except Sonya had already given birth and her stomach was much more flat.

They both screamed again; I had to cover my ears to prevent from becoming deaf.

The two girls ran up to Dimitri's open arms and wouldn't let go of him.

"Dimka!", Karolina cried, "What Mama said was true! You're alive again!"

Sonya sat up, still hugging Dimitri, and turned to me. "Thank you, Rose. I own you my life."

I smiled. I didn't want to break this family reunion, so I din't say a word that would carry this off subject.

After a few more hugs and kisses, Olena came back downstairs with Karolina's baby and a baby I'd never seen before, but must have been Sonya's. Paul trailed right behind her, tugging on the side of her apron.

Karolina and Sonya got off Dimitri and went over to Olena to reclaim their babies.

Sonya came over and sat down on the sofa across from us. Karolina, her baby, and Paul, followed soon after with Olena sitting on the arm of the sofa.

Sonya toyed with her baby's hand. She looked exactly like her but with some Rolan. She had wide, brown eyes and caramel colored hair. Her face mostly looked like Rolan's though. She had high cheek-bones and button nose.

"This is Sofee", Sonya introduced, motioning to the baby on her lap," I had her a month ago."

Dimitri smiled and waved at the baby.

Sonya lifted the baby up so she could look at her. "See that guy over there? He's your Uncle Dimka. And that beauty next to him is his girlfriend Rose."

Sofee replied with a sound that was mix between coo and eek.

Sonya placed her on her own lap again and continued playing with Sofee.

I watched as Paul ran over, jumped, and landed in Dimitri's lap. Dimitri caught him by surprise and tucked him in the small space in between us.

"You remember Paul, don't you Dimka? He was still little when you left."

Paul waved at Dimitri but didn't say a word. Then, he turned to me, grabbed my elbow, and placed my arm around him.

Everyone laughed.

"And this", Karolina said, patting the baby on her lap, "is Zoya."

Dimitri smiled at the Zoya who smiled back, showing her new teeth.

So we talked a bit about how I saved Dimitri.

Then, Olena told us what room we were staying in. "We just had the house renovated so we have two guestrooms."

"Why two?", Dimitri asked.

Olena sighed and leaned back into the sofa. "Money is coming short and a lot of tourists are visiting Baia. So we are providing a room to accommodate anyone for a short amount of money. But nobody's come in a few weeks, so the rooms are all yours."

We reluctantly thanked Olena.

Everything went smoothly, until Dimitri brought up the subject of Viktoria.

"Where's Viktoria?", he asked.

My skin whitened. Viktoria. Oh, she was going to still hate me for what I had done to her and Rolan.

"Viktoria? Oh, she should be home from school soon. Wait until she sees you and Rose!" Olena rejoiced with a wide grin.

I forced a smile. Yipee. She'd be so happy to see me.

Just then, right on cue Viktoria burst open the front door. She didn't seem to notice all of us as she hung her grey coat on the latch. Then, she turned around and stopped.

Her eyes wondered from Karolina—to Sonya—to Olena, and then, with wide eyes, Dimitri.

It was like we all were watching the tension between Viktoria and Dimitri now.

She just stared at him with wide eyes. Then with immense hesitation, she ran across the room and into Dimitri's arms.

I saw little tears trickle down her big brown eyes. "Dimka, you're back!"

Dimitri grinned and murmured something in Russian. Then her began to pat her back like a baby.

Viktoria pulled away for a brief moment. "But how? I thought you were Strigoi."

Dimitri shook his head and wiped her tears away. "Rose saved me. Her friend healed my soul."

Viktoria turned to me.

I was expecting a hateful glance, but what I got was a look of sorrow in her eyes. "Thank you so much, Rose."

I nodded awquardly. "You're welcome."

Olena stood up and walked toward Viktoria. "Alright, that's enough Viktoria. I'm sure they're very tired from the flight."

Viktoria immediately got up.

I shook my head. "I' m okay I slept the whole entire flight. But I'm sure Dimitri is."

Dimitri yawned. "I'm fine."

Olena cut in. "Honestly Dimka, you must sleep. It's already nighttime. Rose will wake you up."

I gave him a wicked smile.

He smiled and stood up. "Alright." He helped me up and put an arm around me.

"Viktoria, Paul", Olena said, "help them with there luggage please."

Everyone kissed Dimitri and I goodnight as we ascended upstairs.

Paul led us to our suite-like room.

It had a king sized bed in the far corner, with two wardrobes, a walk-in closet, a luxurious bathroom, a wooden desk, and a full length mirror.

Wow, I didn't know Russia even had these fancy stuff.

Once we were all settled, Viktoria and Paul kiss us goodnight, and left us alone.

I turned around and placed my arms around his waist, pulling him into a tight hug. "Are you happy to see your family?"

He placed his lips on my hair. "Yes. But it seemed like you and I were the only ones not crying."

I lifted my head up. "That's why we're meant to be."

He gently placed his lips on mine. With a little more force, he placed his hands on my butt and lifted me up.

I eagerly wrapped my legs around his waist.

We stayed like that for a moment. Then in a second, he had me on the bed. We were kissing and rolling until I tried to stop him.

"Come on"—kiss—"Dimitri"—kiss—"you need"—kiss—"to sleep."—kiss.

He rolled us over so I was on top. "I told you, I'm fine."

I shook my head. "We'll continue this tomorrow. I promise."

He smiled. "You promise?"

I nodded and grinned like a fool. "If we do it tomorrow, I'll be more…'prepared'."

And by prepared, I meant I would be dressed in my most showing piece of lingerie, have one or two sex toys out, and actually have the door LOCKED.

"Okay." He said in agreement. He put his arms around me and tucked me safely to his chest.

"Goodnight Roza."

I yawned. Wow, was I this tired already. Or maybe I was just tired of sleeping.

"Goodnight. Love you."

"Love you too."

Then we both fell asleep in each other's arms, waiting for what was in store for us tomorrow.
