Good news. #1) Due to a high lead on my poll, I will be continuing my story. #2) Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to forget about what other people think and just follow my heart. #3) I learned something from those bad reviews, so I tried to make Rose the badass she is in this chapter and I'll fix the plot a little bit. But please don't blame me if I don't. Because this is FanFiction and this is my point of view to whom my characters are. #4) babytearz has given me a new plot for a story, so I will be posting another story, along with a couple of chappies for Promises Left Behind. The new story is called Forbidden Secrets. No sneak preview or anything, because it will be released soon. Enjoy this chappie and review!

The next day, Dimitri and I were changing, feeding, bathing, playing with, and cradling Cirena. I thought taking care of babies was easy, but apperantly, I thought wrong.

Once Cirena was satisfyingly asleep upstairs, I plopped down onto the couch, exhausted.

But Dimitri wasn't even tired. He was 100% awake.

I eyes him wearily. "How do you do it, comrade?"

He lifted up an eyebrow.

"Do what?" he asked.

"Take care of a baby 24/7 and still be perfectly awake."

He sat down beside me. "Growing up with 3 sisters was worse. Consider ourselves lucky."

I rolled my eyes then flipped on the TV where Gossip Girl was on.

"Ooh! New episode!" I rejoiced, making myself more comfortable against the couch.

I didn't really watch Gossip Girl that often, but Lissa was seriously crazy about it. It was probably her favorite TV show because there was a lot of "blonde people who kiss hot guys", which made her even more proud to be blonde.

It wasn't the best TV show, but it stalled time.

Dimitri groaned beside me.

"What?" I muttered, eyes glued to the TV.

"How can girls watch dramas like Gossip Girl? It's so…girly. Even for you Rose."

I laughed. "Well why do guys watch things like Bat Man or Shutter Island."

Dimitri grinned then put his arm around my shoulder. "For the record, Shutter Island was a chick flick."

I nodded in agreement, my eyes now focused on him. "I have to agree. The director was probably lonely so he made that movie to try to hook up with some of the girls that came to watch."

He tried very hard to hide a grin, but failed miserably.

"I'm gonna go check on Cirena." He announced, heading upstairs.

I flipped through the channels, and seeing there was nothing else to watch, turned the TV off.

A few minutes later, the doorbell rang.

"Come in!" I yelled.

I heard the door open then shut close.

"Rose…" Lissa said, entering the room.

"Nice greeting. Good to see you too Liss." I said. "What's up?"

She shifted uncomfortably then sat down on the armchair. "Well…I did something that you may not seem happy with."

My smile turned to a frown. "What did you do?"

She looked down and started.

"Tasha came by a few minutes ago to invite us to her big pool party a few blocks down. She asked me if you are coming, and I said yes."

My eyes widened. No way was I going!

"No way!" I shook my head. "I don't care who she invites but there's no way I'm going to her party."

Lissa sighed. "Look, I know you hate her for all that compulsion crap in Russia, and I hate her now for that too, but I had to say yes because she told me…she told it was her birthday."

I head fell slightly. "I don't give a shit about who's birthday it is either, Lissa! I'm not going, and that's final."

Lissa closed her eyes, clearly thinking of a way to get me to come.

"Please Rose. You don't even have to talk to her or anything. You don't even have to see her! Just show up."

I crossed my arms and stared at her. "What's the real reason you want me to come, Liss?"

She surpassed a groan then took a deep breath. "Because Christian's been up to something lately, and I need your help. I overheard him saying the other day at the phone, something about "'my Aunt Tasha's party" and how "she's gonna be there" and then I heard "I'm gonna tell her then."

My eyebrows furrowed together in confusion. "So…"

She threw her hand sup in exasperation. "I think he's cheating on me."

"Lissa. He's not cheating on you. Trust me, I know he loves you and only you."

She hugged her knees to her chest then sighed. "What if he is? Please Rose, I just need your help to find out. I need you to keep an eye on him with me while we're at the party."

I shook my head in disbelief. "Fine. But you so owe me."

She grinned then stood up. "Thanks so much, Rose."

Before she left she peeked her head out from behind the door.

"Oh, one more thing…Tasha wants Dimitri and Cirena there too. Meet you there, bye!"

She left in such a hurry, I didn't have time to protest.

Crap, was I really supposed to bring Dimitri and Cirena?

I furiously pulled my hair back into a tight ponytail and headed upstairs, where Dimitri was carrying Cirena in his arms.

After seeing my expression, I told him the whole story.

"It's okay. We'll keep our distance." He told me.

I smiled then took Cirena in my arms. "And you'll be with CC the whole time while me and Liss are stalking Christian."

He did that weird one eyebrow lift.

"CC?" he asked.

"CC" I replied. "Is a nickname I came up with just right now because Cirena sounds too professional for a two day old baby. So CC's her nickname."

Dimitri grinned. "I like it."

Then he started packing CC's diapers and bottles.

"Go ahead and change. I'll be done in a minute."

I put CC down on in her crib then headed to my closet.

I chose a black, halter bikini with a metallic pattern on one breast, with matching bottom.

It looked good on me, I had to say. It hugged my curves perfectly, tightening in the right spots.

I put on a pair of big, mirror sunglasses and cover-up that was crocheted so it still showed off my bathing suit.

Once I was done, I went downstairs where Dimitri was all ready, in a pair of blue swimming trunks, and a black t-shirt, carrying a baby bag and CC.

Once his eyes landed on me, I rotated slowly so he would get the full effect.

I turned back to him.

His jaw was down and his eyes were just staring at me.

I laughed then smirked. "So? What do you think."

He was still speechless.

Finally, a minute later, he snapped out of his trance.

"You look…"

I winked then took the baby bag from him. "I look?"

He put his hand on my waist then pulled me closer.

I felt his breath near my ear.

"Sexy." He whispered. "We should go swimming more often."

I laughed then kissed him on the lips.

"If this weren't for Lissa." He said, opening the front door. "We wouldn't be leaving this house."

"You mean the bedroom." I pointed out.

He grinned as we started walking.

I looked over at Cirena, who was seriously cute dressed in an orange t-shirt and blue shorts with flip-flops.

"You're so cute you know that." I told her.

"Thank you." Dimitri replied, as if I was telling him.

I rolled my eyes and continued walking.

"Not you, idiot. CC. She's so pretty. Even for a two day old baby."

Dimitri agreed.

"Hey, there's the pool."

A few blocks away, I saw a big yard with a big poll with a waterfall, hiding stones, and tunnels made out of rock.

Chairs outlined the outside. People were scurrying around the place, talking and laughing.

Once we reached there, we were automatically seen by Lissa. She was wearing a colorful bikini, with overlapping blue, red, and green circles. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses like mine, except hers were brown.

"Ready?" she asked me.

I turned to Dimitri, who was already walking to one of the chairs in the corner.

Then, I turned back to Lissa.

"Yup. I'm ready to stalk, Sparky."

Sorry, this chapter was getting too long so I'm dividing this into two parts. This is part one, and the next will be part two. Anyways, what's Christian up too? And where the hell is Tasha? Thanks for reviewing. Can we get 300?
