I know that most of you are wondering about Rose's wedding dress. But I can't describe it or put the pic. on my profile until the wedding chapter actually comes. That goes for Mia's and Lissa's dresses too. Remember to vote in my poll for the baby's name! Thx!


Once Lissa finished paying for the dress, she asked if she could see the selection for maid of honors and bridesmaids.

Of course they were going to get their dresses now, I thought.

"What's the wedding color?" the saleslady asked Lissa.

Lissa turned to me. "Yeah, what is the color, Rose?"

Everyone was looking at me now.

I thought in my mind. The color had to be something that represented Dimitri and I and all the things we've been through.

If I were to describe our relationship using three words it would be:

Love.

Hurt.

Desire.

We needed a color that would have a mixture of all those things, along with our emotions.

A color that said we love each other, I risked everybody's life to save his own, and we cared deeply for each other.

Just then, it came to me.

Blood red.

It signified that we've fought, even if blood was involved, for each others lives.

I looked up at them and smiled. "Blood red."

The saleslady looked at me like I was a psychopath for choosing such a radiant color.

"I have a couple of dresses over here." she said, leading us into a little section of dresses.

Lissa and Mia automatically started to look for their dress and trying different styles on, finding what looked best.

"What do you think?" Lissa asked as her and Mia stepped out of the changing room.

Both they're dresses were a different style, but both were the same shade of blood red.

I smiled and applauded. "You guys look amazing."

They smiled and turned back to take it off.

A few minutes later, they came out with the dresses on a hanger, heading for the register again.

"We'll take these too. Put them on reserve until December please." Lissa said, bringing out her wallet for about the hundredth time today.

I rolled my eyes. "Are we going home now?"

Lissa turned to face me and leaned against the counter. "As long as we get to come."

I nodded, like I had a choice.

Once we got home, we put down our shopping bags and flopped onto the couch.

"Where's Dimitri?" Mia asked.

I looked at the clock. He should still be at work. "He's at work right now."

Lissa's face brightened up. "He got a job?"

"Yeah." I started. "To guard the Court and inspect the wards."

Lissa smiled then turned to Mia. "So what's up with you and Ambrose?"

I suddenly recalled the guy who had given us massages and a full spa package in my first time at Court.

She shook her head and put her feet up on the coffee table. "We tried dating, but things got all weird and we decided to just stay friends."

"Now who are you with?" I asked, snuggling into one of the comfy couch pillows.

I saw her blush slightly, then recover, hopping we didn't notice.

"Somebody." She replied in a tiny voice.

I lifted both my eyebrows and smirked. "Who is it?"

She blushed deeper then looked away. "Nobody."

Lissa wiggled her eyebrows. "Spill it Mia."

She considered it for a second, than made her decision. "Fine. His name is…"

We leaned in closer, listening for her answer.

"Eddie."

We both gasped, shock on our faces.

"How? When? Where?" I interrogated, my mouth still open.

She sighed dreamily then explained the whole thing.

"Eddie and I started dating while you were in Russia."

Lissa shook her head. "How come I didn't know? Eddie's by my side the whole entire day…"

Mia smiled evilly. "We hid our relationship at first. Nobody knew. We told each other that to make this work, we could only see each other on his days off."

Lissa grinned. "Aw. That's so sweet."

Mia rolled her eyes. "Yeah. But sometimes, he can be a pain in the ass."

I chuckled.

She nodded her head. "Seriously…but that's why I love him."

We continued talking for an hour when I heard the front door open, and close.

I jumped up from the couch and tackled Dimitri to the ground even before he turned the corner.

I took him by surprise.

"Hey comrade." I greeted, giving him a long and deep kiss.

He placed his hands on my waist and kissed me back.

A few minutes later, he pulled away and lifted me off him, so he could stand up.

"So how was your shopping trip?" he asked as we went inside the living room where Lissa and Mia were waiting.

"Great." I answered. "We all got our dresses."

He smiled and took of his coat.

Mia and Lissa stood up. "Well, we gotta go."

I hugged both off them, said a quick goodbye, than watched them as they leave.

Once I heard the door shut, I twirled around and faced Dimitri, giving him my badass smile.

"I believe you promised something this morning." I pointed out.

He lifted one eyebrow and smirked. "Oh, I did?"

I stepped closer to him until we were a foot away.

"It's not nice to forget things, comrade."

He placed his strong hands on my butt cheeks and pulled me closer.

I giggled and reached up until his lips met mine.

It was a sweet, tender kiss at first, but was growing stronger by the second.

After a few minutes of making out, he lifted me up.

I quickly wrapped my legs around his waist as he brought me upstairs, never taking away his lips from mine.

He kicked open the door to our bedroom and shut it, crushing me against the wall.

I was getting into his mood so much, I wound my arms around his neck and—

"Ahem!"

I jumped out of his grasp and fell to the floor.

Who the hell was that?

I looked up at Dimitri who was in pure shock, looking at the far end of the room, near the door to the balcony.

I followed his gaze and froze.

Standing before us was, you guessed it.

The one.

The only.

Janine Hathaway.
