R POV

After the night Dimitri looked over the kids and Ve had a thing with Marc things changed a bit at home. Dimitri had told me everything that had happened and Ve also softened up and we had a long talk about Heather, Marc and all that. She also mentioned something about her and Dimitri having a talk but didn't say what happened.

I asked him about it when we went to bed that night but he said they'd worked a few things out and time will tell how it'll work out.

Unusual from my part I was satisfied by that. If this meant that Ve might come across the thought of getting along with Dimitri and maybe even like him it would make my life the best life I could ever ask for.

There has been about a month since that day and I've slowly noticed some changes in Ve. She smiles a lot more and I think Marc has to do something with that. I Had my doubts in the beginning since he was a Zeklos but I guess I judged the book with out reading it. I was wrong and as long as she's happy so am I.

Dimitri stays over a lot these days and has even brought over some clothes so he doesn't have to get a bag all the time. He can stay over whenever he feels like it and when he works late he sleeps at the apartment. We go there some weekends just to have some time alone. We try to hang out and do regular stuff like watch a movie, cook together or ask some friends over. But we usually end up in bed, naked sweaty and satisfied.

It was one of those weeknights Ve was in charge at home and we had snuck away for a quick dinner and then some naked wrestling in Dimitri's big bed. A comfortable silence fell between us as out breaths had calmed down same as our heartbeats. Life is pretty good when you have a large Russian in your bed, kids at home and friends to love. I'm a pretty darn happy woman!

Dimitri's head rested right beneath my chest area and I was listening to his calm and even breaths.

I closed my eyes relaxing my whole body as I slowly ran my fingers through Dimitri's hair.

"Roza?"

"Mm?" I hummed not opening my eyes.

"I have a thing on Friday night at school so I'm going to come home late" He says face still on my stomach. I know his eyes are open as he studies the room.

"Oh" I say a bit surprised. I'm so use to having him home on the couch on Friday's I didn't see that coming, I raise my head from the pillow "What kind of thing?"

"That's what I wanted to ask you about" he says propping himself up on his elbows so he can look into my eyes. I narrow my eyes slightly towards him, ready for anything.

"It's St. Vladimir's Prom on this Friday night and I promised to chaperone" he says not wavering his eyes from mine. "Would-" he pauses, "Would you like to go with me?" He asks.

I relax as I realize it hadn't anything to do with another woman – well many girls but they're under aged so that's not why he's there – or ditching me. I smirk towards him, "You mean like a date?" I raise my brows towards him.

"More like chaperoning but I guess kind of a date" He smiles tracing an invisible pattern on my stomach.

"Are you blushing Belikov?" I tease, as I haven't answered yet knowing it's making him anxious. He moves further up forcing my head back down putting us face to face.

"Stop fooling around with me Hathaway, are you going with me or not?" He threatens trying to hold back a smirk. I lick my bottom lip, "Is that a threat?" I move my arms around his neck. He turned his slightly kissing my bicep, "Maybe… Is it working?"

I smile as he trails kisses along my arm to my shoulder, "Yes, like you didn't know" I snicker. His head tilts towards me, "So you'll go with me?"

I smile, "I'd love to"

We kiss. It's one of those slow sensual kisses. Our lips caressing one another, slowly stroking each other, fingertips moving up and down as our lips parts and our tongues meet.

I've been dating this man soon close to little over a year and I'm still amazed by the way he makes me feel. How much my kids love him and he them and how he surprisingly gets along with the most stubborn teenage girl on earth just to be with me. We've created a life together.

We started dating feeling like teenagers in love head over heels not willing to imagine a life without the other. Then we hit our challenge – Ve, parents and so on but we face them. Sure we can have a small argue from time to time but it doesn't mean we can't fix it. We always fix it. We keep our fire alive by still going on date nights, talking a lot and just hanging out weather it's with the kids, friends or just the two of us. Like right now. I've always wanted this and now I have it. It took me a long time but in a year I've managed to plan my life out better. Our life. I feel so happy and blessed to be me and I wouldn't change a thing,

"You what?" Ve hissed trying to keep her voice down trying to handle the news I just gave to her.

"C'mon, it'll be fun and you'll barely notice us" I calmly hoping she won't get mad.

"Mom!" She whines putting the dress back on the hanger, "It's my first prom ever and if you're going to be there I can officially tattoo an L on my forehead for Loser!"

I roll my eyes, "Sometime I wish you had more genes from Dimitri…" She grimaced at that. I sighed, "I'll only be there for the night and if you say it's ok we can work out a deal around that"

I know I caught her attention because she crosses her arms over her chest narrowing her eyes slightly, "Go on"

I smile, "If you let me chaperone with Dimitri the whole night I might agree to something you want do to"

"Like…?"

"I don't know try me" I say wanting a few ideas. She stay's quiet for a bit before her face light's up, "You let me drink champagne before I leave the house"

I snort, "Yeah right, got any other idea?"

She takes a deep breath, "Rent me a limo?"

"Something less prize?"

"Oh c'mon mom, you're killing all my ideas!"

"I'm not you're just not that good coming up with any!" To my defense. Like hell I would give her alcohol and no to the limo.

"What about…" Now she has this sneaky look in her eyes. "What?" I ask studying her.

"You can chaperone with Dimitri if you let me sleep over at Marc's that weekend" She raises a brow challenging me to say no. I narrow my eyes at her going through it in my head. No normal parent would agree to this – I think – if they had a teen like Ve. But on the other hand, I trust Ve to do what's right and if Marc's parents are home things can't get out of hand. Which means she'll be safe and have to call me to check in when she gets there. I smiled towards her, "Fine"

Her eyes widen in chock, didn't see that coming huh?

"I agree to that if Marc's parents are home and it's ok with them, which means I'll have to talk to them" She studies me carefully before she holds out her hand for me to shake,

"Agreed"

Before I take it I say, "I trust you with this Ve, I don't want you doing anything you're not ready for ok?"

I see the sincerity in her eyes as I take her hand and shakes' it. She pulls her hand free and hugs me instead. "Thanks mom"

I sigh and smile into her hair, "You're welcome sweetie" I kissed her hair and pulled away, "Now let's find dresses so we can get home and make dinner"

"MOM! MOM THIS AIN'T WORKING!" Ve yelled frantically from her room. She about two hours to get ready and she had already showered and were on her room fixing herself up. It had been quiet for a bit before she yelled out loudly that this isn't working…

I had Lissa on speed dial so I called her letting two signals go through before I hung up. We had already agreed that I'd give her a two signal call if I needed her over to manage Ve and her Prom Drama. I know I worked at a salon but my focus were nails and I'd done Ve's nails yesterday so that wasn't the problem. Lissa had magic finger with both hair and make up and she had pre paired a make up kit around the dress pic I'd sent her on Ve's dress. I might not be the ideal mom, but I knew how important prom was! So I didn't take any second changes that it'll work out on it's own.

Dimitri had taken the kids to his mothers to spend the night there and had just went before Ve freaked out.

In just a matter of minutes Lissa was knocking on my door. I opened up and we headed for Ve's room. As we opened she was lying on her bed face down and I was betting she considered skipping prom.

"Mom, just go away!" She sobbed.

"We'll fix this honey," I said walking over to her "I brought back up"

Her head snapped up seeing Lissa preparing her things over by her make up table. She shot up, arms around my neck whispering, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

I chuckled, "No problem, now go wash your face and let us to the rest"

She nodded getting up giving Lissa a kiss on the cheek before she hurried off to the bathroom. She chuckled, "Well I remember this scene, kind of a déjà vu thing" she winked. I chuckled, "Yeah well when I went to prom it was a different matter. I was six months pregnant and my dress didn't fit" I said to my defense.

"And I made a miracle with some scissors and glitter and off we went"

"Thank you Liss, really. Thank you"

We hugged quickly and as Ve entered again and sat down we started right away.

Concealer, eye shadow, eyeliner and some high lighter. Blush, gloss and some more eyeliner and mascara. Lissa wend for a natural look with a brown smoky eye to match her gorgeous eyes she had inherit from her father she saw more as a friend.

We had covered the mirror so she couldn't see anything as Lissa worked wonders on my daughter.

I brushed her hair pre pairing for the hairdo we had agreed to make on her. (Pic on Profile) Her hair was in soft waves as Lissa started pinning and twirling it up into a messy yet stylish hairdo.

As Lissa made some final touches I went to my room to get a pair of earring that I'd gotten from Yeva in birthday present. She told me they were her mothers and first I didn't know what to say. But I took them since she would be slightly offended if I didn't.

I'd seen how Ve had looked on them in awe so I thought this was the time she could wear them. They were Diamond pave triangle 18 karat white gold earring that were so beautiful I could just put them on sometimes just to look at them on me in the mirror. I entered Ve's room sitting down next to her. I started removing the earring she already wore and when she noticed the diamond earrings on her table she gasped looking at me. (Pic on Profile)

"Are you serious?"

I smiled, "You'll get them one day you know so I thought why not see how they look on you" I said putting them in. When she was done she stepped out of the chair and we helped her into her dress. Lissa and I stepped back as we looked on her.

The dress was perfect for her. The one shoulder was so flattering and the way the fabric fell from her hips and down was breath taking. Her hair and make up made her look like a goddess and the earring were the tip on the iceberg. I got tears in my eyes she's so beautiful. (Dress pic on the profile)

"Let's go to the full length mirror" I smiled taking Ve's hand bringing her out in the hall. She gasped as she saw her reflection. Tears started forming in her eyes.

"Don't you dare to cry on my mater piece Ve" Lissa playfully threatened and she chuckled a sob. "Sorry"

I pulled her in for a hug, "You're so beautiful"

As we started to pull away the door opened and there was Dimitri. His eyes fell on Ve and his eyes grew wide.

"Wow" he whispered. He closed the door clearing his throat, "Ve you, you really look beautiful"

She smiled a full on smile that actually reminded me of Dimitri's smile. "Thank you"

"When is Marc coming over?" Lissa asked me as Ve and Dimitri made some small talk.

"In about half an hour, his dad is driving them and Dimitri and I are suppose to be there soon so I'll better go get ready"

"I'll help" Lissa smiled going to get her things to my room. Dimitri caught my hand before I could escape, "Running away from me?"

I smile, "Just going to get ready for prom" I winked.

"Oh, what are you going to ware?"

"A dress"

"Color?" He raised a brow. I smiled, "White, you?"

"Black, but no dress" He teased. I chuckled giving him a quick kiss before disappearing to my room.

"What do you want to do with your hair?"

"Make something simple, the dress is hanging there and see if you get any vibes while I go wash my face" I said to Lissa.

When I came back I sat down on a chair and let Lissa to her thing. She said beach curls and a simple make up so I would look good but not over dress so Ve could have the spotlight. I agreed and we talked about random things as she applied some make up.

I ended up with a thicker line of eyeliner and mascara to add up the elegant part with the laid back hair and the dress. (Hairstyle on profile) I had chose a knee length summer inspired dress with beadings on the top part. (Pick on profile)

I chose a pair of simple black heels to make it simple yet good. Lissa got a text from Christian about some emergency involving him ruining something at home. She'd rolled her eyes and left me all set.

There was a knock on the bedroom door. "Roza we should get going-" He stopped as his eyes landed on me and a gorgeous smile hit his lips. "You look beautiful"

I eyed him up and down, "So do you" He wore all black – I love it when he does that – A black shirt with rolled up sleeves and a black vest with matching dress pants and shoes. He leaned down but then stopped, "You're not wearing lip gloss are you?"

I snickered, "No why?"

"I don't like getting too sticky" he grimaced. I chuckled giving him a kiss, "No gloss, but I can't promise you won't get sticky"

He smiled against my lips, "I don't mind this kind of sticky" He pressed his lips to mine. My hand grabbed the fabric off his shirt and I couldn't help not to moan. "We should go before I start to undress you"

"And we wouldn't want that to happen" he smirked taking my hand in his. I snatched my purse along with me before we headed out for the car.

We entered the gym hand in hand. The music was blaring through the speakers and there were teens dancing around on the floor already. Dimitri led me over to where the other teachers were stationed and I recognized some of them. Dimitri went to talk to the principal quickly when somebody tapped my shoulder.

"Rose, girl I haven't seen you in a long time, where you've been hiding?" Ve's English teacher came forward and gave me a hug.

"Eva" I chuckled, "I'm all worked up with the salon you know" I winked. "What about you?"

"Well you know, a girl like me is always busy but I try to keep a smile on" We laughed together. I love her swagger and her fierceness. I think that was one of the reasons Ve really liked her, because Eve didn't take shit from nobody but she could really give you a good time if she wanted to.

"So you're chaperoning your daughter?"

"Yeah I guess you could say that, I was asked her as someone's date though"

She looked around before leaning closer, "I hope you're not dating one of the seniors because if you are I would have to seriously hand it to you"

I laughed, "No oh god no, he's older than me"

"Oh so you've found yourself a fine man huh? Who is it?"

I saw Dimitri right behind her, with a playful smile on his lips "Well…" was all I said looking behind her shoulder and she turned around. She looked at Dimitri then back at me, then Dimitri then back again. She raised her brows at me and I smiled angelic and shrugging slightly.

"Oh girl you did fine" she burst out giving me a hug before turning towards Dimitri again, "That explains that silly grin that's been on your lips this last year"

Dimitri chuckles and nods yes

She shakes her head, "I bet you're like a teen in love, well I'm gona leave you to darling alone and start bugging the kinds who's grinding all over each other"

"Yeah you do that" I chuckled and she was gone. Dimitri narrowed his eyes towards me, "A best friend I should know about?"

"Everybody loves Eva" I winked.

After two hours here Dimitri and I were sitting on the bleachers looking out over the crowd. There had been one small incident when two girls came in the same dress and a small fight broke out but Dimitri cleared it out rather quickly.

I hadn't spotted Ve or Marc yet but I guess I would see her soon. The DJ grabbed the mike and said, "Here's a slow one for all you lovers out there"

The lights went down and the music played a slow song. Right when I spotted something white in the middle of the dance floor. I checked again and there she was dancing with her arms around Marc who was saying something in her ear. She laughed and rested her head on his shoulder. I smiled they were such a cute couple!

In the corner of my eye I saw someone glaring at them. Heather. I pursed my lips shooting her a glare she didn't catch. She better not try anything to ruin her night because then I'll-

"Whom are you glaring at?" Dimitri snickered in my ear.

I shrugged slightly, "Heather"

Dimitri looked where my eyes were and put his arms around me, "She won't dare to go close, not after what I told her in the park"

I took my eyes off Heather to meet his gaze. I was really thankful that he was there that night. That he looked after the kids and helped Ve out. I'd given him something extra that night to show him how thankful I really was.

His hand laced through mine as another slow song played through the speakers, "Want to dance?" he asked looking at me and only me.

I frowned slightly, "I thought we were chaperoning?"

"No one said we couldn't dance." He said pulling me up. He jumped down on the side turning around grabbing my waist lifting me down from the bleachers. Taking my hand leading me out on the dance floor. We were on the outer parts of the dancing crowds as Dimitri placed my hands over his shoulders and landed his own around my waist. With heels he didn't have to lean down so much touching my forehead with his own. I smiled looking down noticing my heels on the floor. The gym floor.

"Won't my heels ruin the floor?" I teased looking up. First he looked a bit uncertain what I meant but then a caught it and chuckled, "Don't worry, there's a thin mat on the floor so it won't get ruined. No body ever notice" He smiled proudly. I shook my head, "You're disturbed"

His warm hand tilted my head back, "Thank you" and placed a sweet kiss on my lips.

V POV

"You really look beautiful"

I smiled at Marc's words as we were slow dancing. He looked my shoulder, "You're mom looks pretty hot to"

I chuckled, "I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that"

"I think Belikov think she's quite the catch to" he chuckled. I looked over in the direction of my parents – yes I mean both of them – and laughed with Marc at the sight. Mom had her arms around Dimitri's waist and they slowly slid down towards his ass and her kept lifting them higher. You might think the act should be reversed but in that relationship, you don't know what to expect!

I looked away after a while "Maybe I should be looking at you instead of looking at Belikov's date grouping him"

Marc chuckled, "Nice thought" We rested out foreheads against each others "I like you" suddenly slipped out of my mouth. I didn't grimace like I thought I would by my mistake. I just smiled.

"I like you to" Marc smiled kissing my forehead. "Want to go home?"

I nodded looking over at mom and… dad. And I smiled.

"I'm just going to call dad and say he can come and get us. They said we could sleep in the basement if we didn't do anything nasty"

I chuckled, "Nasty huh?"

"Yeah" he looked down a bit nervously, "You're the first girl that has ever slept at my place"

"Really?" I asked a little surprised. He nodded, "Yeah, mom seems to like you because I don't think she would've trusted me alone with you if she hadn't met you before. She thinks you can keep me in line"

I chuckled, "Good that she doesn't know all about me"

He cupped my cheek and gave me a kiss on the lips before we headed outside. I sent a text to mom that we were leaving. She just said that she loved me.

We were in the basement. There were three mattresses on the floor with pillows and blankets. I had my PJ's on make up removed and hair in a sloppy bun. Marc was on the bathroom and I was starting to freak out. What was I getting myself into? I'm fifteen for Christ sake. I can't have sex… what if he pushes me to. What if we do it anyway and I suck? My whole body went tense. How am I going to tell him no?

I felt two warm hands on my shoulders and his lips by my ear.

"We don't have to do anything you don't want to" he whispered. I relaxed slightly after a said that. I turned around blushing slightly, "I'm sorry… I don't want to disappoint you and I don't know if I'm ready and-"

He kissed me, which stopped me from talking. As a reflex I moved my arms around his neck and kissed him back. He pulled away slightly, "Let's just do things our pace"

I smiled and nodded, "That's the best idea I've ever heard"

He smiled and lifted me up and dropped me on the mattresses. I laughed.

"But that don't mean we can't make out" He winked kneeling next to me. I stopped laughing but I kept a smile on, "Definitely not"

The next day…

.

D POV

"Daddy?" Alex came walking around the corner. He's already three years old and talking away like never before. I smiled as I was sitting on the couch, "Hey you, come here" When he reached me he didn't say anything just looked at me. Studying me. After a few seconds I couldn't help but to ask, "What's on your mind?" I rested my elbows on my knees so we were face to face.

"Daddy when will you marry mommy?" He said bluntly. I was a bit taken aback. I smiled, "It's not for med to decide, it's something we should decide together" I said.

"Why?"

I chuckled, "Well, because when you're a couple like mommy and I you're kind of like one person. And when you want to make a big decision like that you decide it together, because it's something so big that'll change our life's forever"

He was quiet for a bit. The funny thing with Alex is that he's so smart that's it's kind of hard to understand and for a three soon four year old I sometimes think he's smarter than me.

He looked up again with determination in his eyes, "But if you asked her to, what do you think she would answer?"

I opened my mouth.

"Yes"

My head snapped up. In the door way stood Rose with tears building up in her eyes arms around herself like she was having goose bumps all over. Her eyes were shining with warmth and love and I just couldn't get a word out of my mouth.

I stood up, eyes still on her.

"W-wo-would you?" I choked.

Tears rolled over and down her cheeks, her hand flew up over her mouth and she nodded. She nodded frantically a yes. Yes. YES!
I slowly took steps towards her and when my toes flushed with hers I stopped. I swallowed.

"Will you?"

She removed her hand from over her mouth, sucking in the tears for a quick second.

"Yes" she nodded.

In one sweeping movement I hand my arms around Rose waist lifting her up and spun her around in the air. She shrieked in surprise, her hands on my shoulders for support and I laughed.

As I slowly slowed down her legs snaked around my waist, her hands slid down my back and then up my neck. I had my arms her butt holding her up so we were face to face. Her hands were on each side on my face.

I think my eyes were telling her over and over again but I had to say it out loud.

"Marry me?"

"Yes" she murmured resting her forehead against mine. Our lips locked for a soft kiss. It wasn't a kiss were we both needed that exciting passion that would make us both go crazy. Nor that we had to kiss to prove our love. This was a kiss were we already knew everything about the other. The love was obvious and so were our emotions. We just sealed out decision with a kiss.

I pulled away from her sweet lips when I felt a hand tug my pant leg. I looked down seeing Alex with his head slightly tilted.

"Have you decided it together yet?"

We chuckled and I let Rose down on her own feet lifting Alexei up and said the best word ever known to man kind.

"Yes"

YES! Yes, yes, yes...
