A/N: Ok, so my new mission for this story is to write longer chapters. Sorry for all the fillers in the chapters. I'll try to fix that from now on. I really still have no clue what I want to happen but I have some ideas about the trouble that they are going to fave. Please message or review though! I need ideas and who better to give me them than the readers themselves! :-) Thanks!

Rose-

When we finally reached the floor all eyes turned back to their original conversaiton partners. Probably to talk about me. The public specualtion and embarasment had died down a bit in the last couple of years but when Anya came with me to social events people always seemed to find something to say.

" Mommy!" Anya calls and tugs on my dress.

" What?" I ask her feeling as impatient as ever.

" I'm going to go play with Julian, ok?" I look over to see that she's standing next to her friend from the St. Vlad's.

" Sure sweetie. Just be careful and stay inside."

" Bye!" She says as she runs off.

Adrian appears beside me holding onto my arm. " Let's dance." He pulls me to the dance floor and the music starts. We go into a waltz-or at least as close as I can get to one.

" You know, you can ease up your grip on my shoulder a little. It feels like you're trying to rip my arm off." I look down to see little indentions in his jacket where my fingers were.

" Sorry Adrian. I'm just a little stressed. You know how these things are." I say and lighten my grip.

" You and I both know that isn't what this is about. Everything will be alright, Little Damphir."

The dance ends and a clanking of a glass get everyone's attention. On the stage at the front of the room, near the orchestra Lisa is stood, glass in hand.

" Attention everyone!" She say to the audience. " Thank you all for attending this charity fundraiser. We appreciate every single one of you and are glad you came you to the royal families that came tonight and thanks to the Damphir representatives from the academies. Now, enjoy the rest of your night!"

The music starts once again.

" Adrian!" I spot Adrian's mom coming towards us through the crowd. She makes it to us. " Hello, Rosemarry. Adrian, would you please come with me. Your father needs to speak with you." She says to him."

" Sorry Rose. I'll be back in a few minutes. Be good." He says and gives me a kiss on the cheek. I watch as he heads off into the crowd with his mother and dissapears. I turn around and head off in the direction of the tables.

Anya is already sitting down at the table along with none other than the dynamic duo themselves. Great. I approach the table and Dimitri stands up ackwardly. I take my seat next to Anya.

" Mommy! I met new people!" Anya says excitedly.

" I see that."

" This is Tahsha and this is Dimitri. Dimitri is a guardian too!"

I look accross the table to see Tasha studdying me closely and Dimitri studdying Anya.

" Hey Anya?"

" Yes?"

" Where did you leave Jullian?" I ask her. It was just like her to leave him waiting for her somewhere and forget about him.

" Oh yeah!" She says and runs off.

That left me with...

" So Rose, I hear congratulaitons are in order. You and Adrian are engaged!" Tasha says.

" Thank you. We're very happy." I acted nice but inside I was screaming.

" And apparently you have a daughter! When did that happen?" Dimitri questioned.

I look directly at Dimitri. " Anya is five years old. I had her shortly after graduation."

" She's darling. And she looks just like you! Nothing like Adrian though. It's very precarious."

Stupid Tasha! " Really? You don't think so? I think she looks more like Adrian than me."

" Not at all! But she does have your temper. Dimitri tried to talk to her a few minutes ago and she told him why he wasn't allowed to talk to her. It was quite funny. So, how are you and Adrian fairing with a child?"

Dimitri stands up and says, " Rose, can I talk to you for a few minutes privately please?"

" Sure." I stand up and say to Tasha, " If Anya comes back looking for me can you tell her just ot wait at the table please? I don't want her wandering through this place."

" Of couse."

I follow Dimitri's lead up the back staircase and to a room in the East wing of the hotel.

" Where are we?" I ask him.

" My hotel room. I just needed a private place to talk to you . Plus there aren't as many people around if you decide topunch me again." He says to me.

" Don't give me a reason to punch you."

" I didn't give you o-. I don't want to get distracted, I just want to go to talk about some things."

" First you can answer a question for me. Why the hell did you come back? You could have just stayed where ever you were and had a family and a life with your girlfriend. But no. You decide to come back and complicate everyone's life."

" What are you talking about? Tasha and I aren't dating anymore! We went out for a while but we decided it was a bad idea because I was still in love with you!" He yells.

" It didn't seem like you were over when she's all over you and telling you what to do! That's a girlfriend thing!" I yell back.

" She says that stuff because shes worried that I will fall back in love with you when the truth is, I never stopped loving you! Why must you always be so difficult? I just want to say one thing but you couldn't even let say t-"

I interrupted Dimitri by kissing him so had we flew against the bed that was closest to us. It felt like an electric current was flowing between us. Like if we let go we'd die. Before I knew it my shirt was off and his was half way unbuttoned.

" Mommy." I hear from the doorway. " Why are you kissing my daddy?"
