A/N: Sorry about some minor mess ups. I'm trying but I've been really busy. Between school, Allstate, and sports I don't really have that much time but I will try to get back to all of my loving fans as soon as possible. Love ya! -Anna

Rose-

" Anya! What are you doing in here?" I yell and jump up from the bed. I pull my gown back up which isn't an easy task to accomplish in the first place.

" Mommy, I was looking for you but you weren't at the table. So I decided to come and find you."

" Where was Tanya?" I ask her. Hadn't I asked Tanya to keep Anya safe until I got back? Or had I just imagined that. I couldn't tell. My mind was hazy and fogged up. Like when it snows too much and you can't see out the windsheild of your car. Nothing was making any sense.

" She wasn't there. She was talking to some guy. He had blackish hair and blue eyes. He looked sooo funny! But not as funny as my daddy." She giggled.

" What are you talking about?" I ask her.

" Mr. Bel- Mr. Beli- Him!" She said fumbling over the word Belikov.

" What about me sweetie?" Dimitri asks kneeling down to her level.

" Oops.I don't think I was supposed to know. Mommy and Adrian were whispering about it today."

" Anya! Don't tell lies! If you will excuse us Dimitri, I need to get Anya home. She's getting tired."

" I don't wanna go!" She yells.

" Why don't I come with you. I know that Adrian isn't done here yet. They are still in their meeting. I can escort you two ladies home then I can talk to you, Rose."

" No... I don't think that's a very-"

" I insist." Dimitri responds.

We exit the hotel the back way. We only stop for a minute to let Dimitri call Tasha. The car is waiting for us and, much to my dismay, there was barely any traffic. We arrived at my little house in less than fifteen minutes.

I send Anya up to change into her pajamas. Then I turn to Dimitri.

" When were you planning on telling me that Anya is my daughter?" He yells.

" I don't know what you're talking about."

" Oh, cut the crap Rose. I'm not an idiot"

" What do you want me to say Dimitri? That I'm sorry? Because I'm not! I'm glad I kept it a secret. From you and her and event the rest of the world. It gave her a chance at some part of a normal life. Think about it. You had already made it clear that you wanted to be with Tash! If I had told you, you would have been fired and I would be kicked out of school. But because I said it was Adrian's child, Anya got to grow up with everything she needed. She wasn't made fun of because of who her parents were. So I'm not even close to sorry! I did what was best!."

" It would have been best if you had told me you were pregnant. She could have know who her father was! She knew it wasn't you just kept it hidden from her while all the other children had dads. Didn't she ever have questions? She was inteligent enough to figure it out."

" Of course she had questions. But I answered them and made her understand that not everyone has a father. Besides, don't turn this on me! You are the one that left. It's not like there was a way I could reach you and tell you the news. You just left."

" Well..."

" Well what? Do you know the kind of hell I've been through. Do you know that instead of staying here through the pregnancy I got transfered because I was a blip on their school record of perfection? And guess who's family they sent me to live with? YOURS! They sent me to live with your family out of everyone on this planet they picked them. Did you know that I had her alone? In strange country with nobody I knew to help me. So when you talk about the fact that I'm the guilty one because I didn't tell you just think about what I had to go through because you were doing 'What was best for me.'

I ran off in the direction of Anya's room before the tears that were threatening my eyes exploded. I laid down on the bed beside Anya. The last thing I remember before falling asleep was her saying, " I love you mommy."
