Here's CHAPTER 14! This one's a little centered on Rose and Lissa, but still had a lotta Dimitri in it.

DISCLAIMER:

Dimitri: *punches Edward*

Edward: *falls to the ground*

Me: And Dimitri's the winner!

Dimitri: *smiles* That was easier then I thought. Meg does not own Vampire Academy nor it's characters.


Once I got upstairs, I pulled out my phone and crashed on the bed.

I dialed Lissa's number and waited until she picked up.

"Rose!"

"Hey Liss. You'll never believe what just happened."

"What?"

I smiled and took a deep breath. "Dimitri and I are getting married!"

I heard her squeal through the phone. "Omigosh Rose! Congratulations! Can I—"

I interrupted her, already knowing her question. "Yes you could plan the wedding."

I could just imagine her jumping up and down. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I'll get the Court pilot to fly us there as soon as possible!"

"Okay! Can't wait."

"See you soon. Bye!"

I hung up just as Dimitri came in the room.

I smiled again as he lay down next to me and put his hands behind his head. "I'm guessing you called Lissa."

"Yeah. I hope it's okay with you, but I told Lissa she can plan the wedding."

He pulled me to him until I was practically straddling his chest.

"Whatever makes you happy. I'm fine with anything you want."

I leaned down to kiss him.

I felt his strong hands run the length of my legs as I rubbed his chest.

Just when things were getting hot, he pulled away hesitantly.

I gave him a confused look.

He kissed me once more and pushed me aside gently.

"What did I do?", I asked.

He grinned. "Nothing. You need some sleep Rose. There's already black shadows under your eyes."

I turned to the mirror and, sure enough, there was black circles under my eyes.

"Who cares." I muttered.

"I care. Lissa's going to be here in a few hours. Go to sleep and we'll continue tomorrow."

I lay down on my side, still facing him. "Fine. Goodnight."

I felt his warm lips on my forehead. "Goodnight Roza. I love you."

With those last words, I shoved my eyes closed and fell into a peaceful sleep.

My dream reminded me of the things Yeva had told me. The first surprise was I thought Dimitri was cheating on me. The second was that Dimitri and I were getting married. And that left the third surprise. The third is up to you.

As soon as I woke up, I kept on thinking what the third was in store for me.

I felt Dimitri's arms still holding me and his light snores near my ear.

His grip on me was tight, so I had to struggle to get out without waking him up.

As soon as I got out the door, I headed downstairs to find Olena cooking breakfast with a happy Viktoria sitting at the table, scanning a Russian magazine.

They looked up as I entered the room.

Viktoria automatically jumped up and gave me a hug. "Good morning."

I hugged her back and said my good morning to her.

She released me and sat back down. "One of your friends called. Lissa. She said she arrived and will be here in one hour."

My eyes widened. Wow, that was quick.

"Thanks. I'm sure you'll love to meet her."

She smiled and motioned towards the seat beside her.

I sat down and felt my stomach grumble.

As soon as Olena placed a big plate of breakfast in front of me, I dug in like I've never eaten before. Probably because I hadn't eaten the night before.

Dimitri came down five minutes after I ate.

He gave me a peck on the lips and kissed Viktoria on the cheek.

"Wow Rose. You must be really hungry." he told me.

I smirked and went back upstairs to get dressed.

I couldn't wait to see Lissa. I hadn't seen her in almost two months!

I put on a pair of black skinny jeans and a light blue tank top. Just as I finished touching up, the doorbell rang.

I dashed downstairs and found Lissa standing at the doorframe. Christian was behind her struggling to carry all her bags.

We both screamed as we ran towards each other and embraced.

I was so happy to see her.

"Lissa!", I yelled once we got to each other.

"Rose! Congratulations!"

I laughed and slung my arm around her shoulder, looking back at Christian. Dimitri helped him put the bags down so he no longer slouched.

"Good to see you, Fire Boy."

He crossed his arms and leaned against the wall. "Hey Rose, congrats."

I then faced Dimitri's family and introduced them to Lissa.

"Liss, these are Dimitri's sisters; Karolina, Sonya, and Viktoria. And these are Karolina's kids, Paul and Zoya, Sonya's daughter Sophee, and his mother, Olena."

She automatically drowned them all in hugs and over excited greetings. That's why I loved her. She already accepted them as family.

Then, she turned towards where Dimitri and Christian were talking about something "guyish".

"Whoa, Guardian Belikov. You have a big family."

He chuckled and nodded. "Yes. But please, Princess, call me Dimitri."

She lifted her eyebrows in pure amusement. "Okay, Dimitri, but you have to call me Lissa."

"Agreed."

Just then, my partner in guarding Lissa, Eddie, came through the door.

I jumped up and gave him a hug. "Eddie!"

He hugged me back and then pulled away. "Hi. Congratulations."

Then, I remembered something and turned to Christian. "Oh yeah. Did you get your guardians yet?"

He shook his head in exasperation. "Nope."

"Then how come Eddie's the only guardian here?"

Eddie stepped forward and answered my question. "Because the Queen said I'll be good enough to protect these two "beloved" Moroi on this short trip we are taking. Her exact words, I swear. So I have to protect two Moroi alone."

I laughed. "Good luck with that. But I'm sure it'll be easy, since you're in a house full of dhampirs."

We all sat down and started talking about the wedding and were it should take place. I told Lissa I wanted it to be simple but still something to remember.

"So where do you want the wedding?"

I looked at Dimitri who was sitting beside me in the loveseat. "How about here in Russia?"

I saw bliss and happiness fill his eyes. "If that's what you want."

I glanced back at Lissa and nodded. "Russia it is then."

"So when do you want it?"

I tilted my head to the side and thought. "Sooner is better, I guess. But I kinda wanna go back to Court first. So how about…"

I looked at the calendar hanging on the wall. Today was May 3rd. Dimitri and I had talked about a summer wedding and how we could go somewhere better on our honeymoon.

I wanted to go back to Court for a couple of weeks so…

"June 26th." ,I accepted.

I looked and Dimitri to get an approval and he nodded.

Lissa scribbled that down and quickly looked back up. "So Christian and I'll go back to Court with you guys for a couple of weeks then come back here two weeks before the wedding.."

I nodded again. We would spend six weeks in Court before the wedding.

"I'll book the flight to leave Russia for Friday.", Dimitri announced.

Friday was the day after tomorrow. That meant I would either get my third surprise today, or tomorrow.

My stomach grumbled again. "I think I'm hungry."

Everyone chuckled.

"But you've just eaten a whole plate of eggs and bacon and sausage and five pancakes.", Olena said with a smile.

Christian's mouth dropped open. "I wouldn't even finish that in a whole week!"

Lissa pecked him on the cheek. "Guess you burn that all of with guardian training."

Olena left the kitchen and came back with a big bag of Cheetos and a few glasses of Coke.

I opened the Cheetos bag, flipped open the lid of the Coke and started eating.

We started up the conversations again and started talking about where in Russia we would have the wedding.

Olena then found the perfect place.

"Rose" she said. "Remember that chapel we took you to during Easter."

I suddenly recalled the small, but beautiful church a few block away. "Yes."

The she turned to Dimitri. "Do you remember the chapel a few blocks away? We used to go there every Sunday."

Dimitri nodded. "Of course I remember."

She continued strongly. "Then why don't you have it there. Then the reception will be here in the backyard."

I lightened up. That would be a perfect place!

"Yes!", I replied in excitement.

Olena smiled. "While you are back in Court, I'll book the chapel for June 26th at…"

"Five 'o clock PM?", Dimitri asked, looking at me.

I nodded and took a bite of the Cheeto. "Then the part afterwards could be at nine."

Once we all agreed with on the time, I looked at the clock. It was 3:00 PM.

I reached for another Cheeto and was sad when I discovered there was no more.

I frowned. "Who ate all the Cheetos?"

Viktoria laughed. "You did."

"Then who drank all the Coke?"

"You did."

"Oh."

Everybody laughed.

Jus then, I felt something lurch inside my stomach. I covered my mouth and stood up. "Excuse me."

I ran to the bathroom and threw up. This was why I shouldn't eat a lot. But after, I through up, my stomach still hurt and I knew it wasn't the food that got me sick.

I retreated back to the living room, still looking green.

Dimitri stood up and put his arm around me. "Roza, are you okay?"

I nodded. "Never better.", I lied.

I sat back down, leaned against his shoulder and yawned. "I think I'm gonna go to sleep."

Everyone looked at me worried.

Dimitri kissed the top of my head. "You just woke up."

I closed my eyes and sighed. "Yeah, but in Moroi world, it's actually 3:15 AM."

"But that didn't matter last night or the night before."

I nodded. Why was I so tired?

The room was silent.

Dimitri then helped me as we headed towards the stairs.

"I'm going to bring her upstairs."

My next reaction stunned everyone. I pushed him away and climbed the first few stairs. "I'm not a child Dimitri. I could bring myself upstairs."

I then stomped my way upstairs and fell on the bed, covering myself in a deep shield of sleep.

Everything was peaceful, until I woke up with a gust of pain in my stomach.

I jumped up and sprinted towards the bathroom.

This time, when I threw up, I knew something was wrong with me.
