I am deeply sorry if it takes weeks at a time for me to update the story. School's getting me busy already and it was the first week of school. I do promise, though, that if I do end up getting too busy to write for a while, I'll let you guys know with another AN. So, don't review the AN if you're going to want to review the chapter I'm going to replace the AN with. Cause apparently you can't review the same chapter twice xD If you want to tell me something concerning the AN, PM me, don't review any AN's. And I do appreciate the reviews you guys. :) if you have any suggestions on the story, PLEASE tell me in a PM. I'd love your feedback :) Enjoy this chapter! OH! I forgot to tell you guys that I'm actually going to try to write 2 stories at the same time! But if it doesn't work I'm probably going to put the other one on hold for a while, or I'll just take turns on stories. Like I write a chapter for this, then the other, then this,ect. I don't know yet. BUT, I am writing the first chapter. And I'm naming it "Off With Her Head", because this story's an Alice In Wonderland fanfic. :) So PLEASE look out for that one. I SHOULD have it up late August or early September. Please give me feedback on that one, so I know how I'm doing on it. It's quite hard to write a story with a setting from the 50's :) But I hope you like it! And it's based off the movie from 1951, NOT the Tim Burton one! It's based off the 1951 CARTOON, not the 2010 version with Johnny Depp and Anne Hathaway!

We all stood together, in our dresses, in front of a huge mirror. My mom was watching behind us.

"These are so beautiful Rose."

"Thank you mom."

"Your welcome honey."

I moved the dress around a little with my hands.

"You ready?"

"No."

She laughed. "Can't leave him."

"I know. I'm just nervous."

"It'll be alright."

"I hope. I don't want to throw up. That'll be embarassing."

She laughed. "Yeah it would be."

"Have you and dad ever thought about getting married?"

"No, why do you ask?" She gave me a weird look.

"I was just wondering."

"Oh."

I fixed my hair. "I think I'm ready."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

I put more powder on my face then took a deep breath. Lissa put on my tiara with my veil attached, and put the veil over my face.

"Ready?"

"Yeah."

"I'll go get your dad."

Karolina, Viktoria, Lissa and my mom left to get my dad and get in to their places. I took deep breathes and waited.

"You okay Rose?" My dad hugged me.

I hugged back. "No, but I think I can make it through the ceremony."

He laughed. "Well that's good news. But, you're my daughter. You're also your mother's. I know you can be strong, like we are. You've always been strong."

I took another deep breath and nodded. "Thanks."

"Your welcome. Ready to go?"

"Yeah, I think so."

"Now that's the Rose I know."

I laughed. "C'mon old man, we better get there before they start worrying."

He laughed and took my arm. I stood close to him as we made our way to the hall.

"In about a minute we're to walk up to Dimitri, can you handle that?"

I laughed. "Of course. I've been walking my whole life."

"Well ya never know. People tend to soften at weddings and such."

"I know."

We hugged again before Viktoria, Lissa and Karolina went through the doorway and down the aisle. I took a deep breath and counted to 30. At 30 we started walking.

"Deep breathes Rose," Abe muttered.

I gave him a look. "I know."

"Just making sure."

I looked anywhere but at Dimitri while I walked up to him. I knew my knees would buckle as soon as I looked in to his brown eyes. I had to stay focused on getting to him.

Viktoria, Karolina and Lissa stood in their places on the stairs diagonal from Christian, Adrian and Mykchel. I smiled at them and stood across from Dimitri, finally looking in to his eyes. He looked speechless. I smiled at him, he smiled back.

"We gather here today to wed Guardian Dimitri Belikov and Guardian Rosemarie Hathaway."

After that sentence, I heard nothing else but my cues to say my vows and 'I do'. I looked in to Dimitri's eyes the whole time.

"Do you, Rosemarie Hathaway, take Dimitri Belikov to be your lawfully-wedded husband?"

"I do." The words came out easy, like I was ment to say them.

"And do you, Dimitri Belikov, take Rosemarie Hathaway to be your lawfully-wedded wife?"

"I do."

"Good. You may kiss the bride."

I looked up at him as he leaned down. We kissed, and the crowd cheered. As the kiss ended, I was blushing deeply.

Dimitri smiled. "Welcome to the Belikov family."

I smiled. "Welcome to the hell family, may I take your order? Our special is Strigoi soup."

He laughed and kissed me on the forehead. We all walked to the dining hall for the after party. I stopped in the doorway when I saw the cake.

"Holy shit Dimitri, Liss went all out."

"I know." He pushed me to our table. "Come on, I made her order chocolate donuts."

"Chocolate donuts?" I ran to the table and sat where my name card was. "Where are the chocolate donuts?"

He laughed. "After the toast."

I fumed. "Fine."

To my surprise, Christian stood with his drink. Dimitri gave me a 'keep your mouth shut' look. I held his hand and stayed quiet.

"I'd like to say a few words about Rose. I know we've always said things to each other and everything, but of course we've never ment most of it."

People laughed.

"She was never really fond of me, especially when I first started to date Lissa. But, we've always been friends. And I'm glad to know that she's with Dimitri and will be happy. We may fight, but we'll always be friends. Practically brother and sister. So my toast is to Rose and Dimitri for their happiness and being able to get married, being guardians and all."

Everyone clapped and I smiled at Christian. He smiled and raised his glass. "To Dimitri and Rose."

"To Dimitri and Rose."

We all raised our glasses and drank.

I was surrounded by a bunch of wedding gifts. I sighed.

"This will be fun."

I heard a laugh a room away. Dimitri.

"Stop laughing, you have to help."

The laugh was changed to a groan. I smiled.

"Get in here. I don't want to be going through these all night."

"Oh, alright." He came in and sat next to me.

I opened a blue one to my left. I read the note. "Have fun with Dimitri. Don't forget these. -Adrian."

I looked in the box, it was a bunch of lingerie. I stuffed the note back in the box and quickly shut the box.

"What was in it?"

"Nothing, nothing."

He quickly grabbed the box from me.

"Don't!"

He opened it, saw what was inside, blushed and shut it quickly. "We're not sending a thank you card to him."

I laughed. I opened a purple box, it was a rhinestoned bedset from Mason's parents. "How nice. Mason's parents got us a rhinestoned bedset."

"Great."

I laughed. "What?"

"Something girly. Can I sleep on the couch?"

I hit his arm playfully. "Of course not!"

He smiled. "I'm kidding. Do whatever you want to our room."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Yay!"

He laughed and opened a yellow box. "It's from Guardian Alto. It's a set of plates and bowls."

"How nice."

"Yeah."

I opened another yellow one. "This is from Guardian Alberta. She got us cups and silverware. Guess they coordinated."

He laughed. "I guess so. How about 3 more boxes, then we get some sleep?"

"Sounds good."

I opened a pink box. "From my mother. It's 2 cute lamps for the sides of our bed." I showed him them.

"They're pretty. Hopefully they match what you're going to do to the room."

I laughed. "I'll try to make our room polka dot."

"Oh please don't."

I smiled. He opened a green box. "From my mother, it's a huge quilt."

"That was nice of her to make."

"Yeah."

"One more."

I opened an orange box. "Another one from my mother, it's a set of pots and pans."

"Good. I don't want take-out."

I laughed. "Can you cook?"

"Of course."

"Good."

"Bedtime."

"But I wanted to stay in my wedding dress forever."

He smiled. "You can wear it tomorrow."

I laughed. "Okay."

We got in to our pajamas and curled in to bed.

"Goodnight Mrs. Belikov."

"Goodnight Mr. Belikov."

We kissed and fell asleep together.

We had about a month off (thank you Lissa), so we got right back to all the wedding gifts. We were almost done when I noticed a brown paper sack. I picked it up and gave it to Dimitri.

"I just found this. What do you think it is?"

"Well, it does have our names on it. So it has to be from someone at the wedding."

He carefully opened it, peering inside. He pulled out a note and read it aloud.

"Dimka, I understand both Rose and you are dhampirs, but for luck, you both should eat these herbs. For luck on having any children. All my love."

I gave him a weird look. "Who's it from?"

"My grandmother."

"Oh. Do you think the stuff actually works?"

"Maybe. It's worth a shot."

"You actually want to try it?"

"When I was little, I tested her stuff, Viktoria also."

"Oh. When are you wanting to eat it?"

"Note says on our honeymoon before we...well...ya know..."

I laughed. "Yes, I know."

He put it with the other gifts and we both looked at our last gift.

"Who do you think it's from?"

"I have no idea, could be from a sister of mine. Or Paul, he does get irritated when he can't get in on the fun."

I laughed. "Well lets open it."

He opened it, and we looked in the box at a piece of paper. I pulled it out and we looked at it.

"Paul thought it was unfair that all of us were giving you both wedding gifts, so he thought he and his little sister could give you something also."

I looked back in the box and there was 2 string bracelets with colorful beads on them.

"Aw, how cute." I pulled them out and put on the bracelet that had an 'R' bead on it.

Dimitri put on his. "Very cute."

We threw out all of the wrapping paper, bows, boxes and bags. All of the gifts were piled up in a corner.

"What're we going to do with all these gifts?"

"I have no idea." He wrapped his arms around my waist. "Maybe we could go searching for a new home real soon."

I looked up at him. "Really? You want to move out of the Royal Apartments?"

"Yeah. Lissa and Christian will be fine here with all the other guardians, and they already said it's fine. I asked earlier while you were asleep."

"That's great! When are we going to start looking?"

"As soon as we get dressed. Lissa already told me a few great places so I thought we could go to them first."

"That sounds perfect."

"Good."

I unwrapped his arms from around me and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. After I finished washing my hair, I heard Dimitri come in and get in to the shower with me. I smiled and we showered together, the first of many showers together.

"How about this one?" I pointed at a yellow house as we walked towards it. "It looks pretty."

"Yeah, it does. Lets go take a look."

We walked up the sidewalk and in to the house. It was perfect.

"Wow..."

We walked right in to a hallway that had doorways to what looked like the living room on the left and the dining room on the left with the staircase straight ahead. I took Dimitri's hand and we walked through the doorway to the dining room and it was so beautiful. It had a chandlier in the middle of the ceiling with a door to what I guessed was the kitchen. Dimitri went up the stairs while I went through the door. The kitchen was huge with so many counters, an island and so much more. There was a door that led to the garage and another door to the basement. I went back in to the dining room and in to the living room to look around. It was a decent sized living room with sliding doors that led out to a patio in the backyard. I stood in awe.

"Rose! Come upstairs!"

I went up the stairs and looked for Dimitri. I found him in the master bedroom, but I couldn't go past the door.

"Look at the balcony Rose, this place is perfect. I love it."

I couldn't say a word, I was speechless. This place is so beautiful and I wanted it so badly.

"Can we get it, Dimitri? Pleeeease?"

"We have to call the owner and see how much it is."

I went and looked around. "There's 4 bedrooms, counting the master."

"This place is perfect for a family, if the herbs work."

"I hope they work." I covered my mouth quickly.

Dimitri came in and looked at me. "Really?"

"Yes. I want to have kids with you, badly."

"I do too."

He wrapped his arms around me tight and held me for what seemed like forever.

"We better get going...sun's going down. And we have to get the number from the main office."

"Okay."

I took my hand in his and we left the house, going to the main office.

"Um, yes, I'd like to get the number for the house on Ash,please."

"Sorry, it's already taken."

My stomach dropped to the floor.

"Thank you."

"Your welcome. We're terribly sorry."

"It's alright."

Dimitri had to pretty much drag me out of the office, I couldn't move.

"You okay, Rose?"

I couldn't answer him, nor look at him.

"Rose, please answer."

I still didn't answer, so he pulled out his phone.

"Hey Lissa. We need a favor."

"Yes, this house on Ash is perfect, and we can't get it because it's already taken. Think you could pull some strings so we could get it?"

"Okay, thank you."

He hung up. "Lets go home, it'll be okay Rose."

I took a deep breath. "Yeah."

He looked concerned the whole walk home. We walked in to our apartment and he started to cook dinner.

"Are you okay Rose? Really?"

"No. I really want that house. It's so perfect. It's the only house I want."

"Rose, you know that if Lissa can't do something, we do have to go look for another one."

"No. I don't want another one. I want that one."

He sighed and walked over to where I was sitting and rubbed my back. "I'm sure we'll be able to get it. Don't worry."

I shut my eyes. "I hope."

"I do too." He walked back over to the stove and continued to cook dinner.

I layed my head on the table, waiting for him to finish. He stopped all of the sudden, turning to look at me.

"Is the reason you want that house because it looked like the house in your dreams with Demi?"

I nodded my head. He turned around quickly and focused on the dinner again.

"Why?"

He shook his head. "No reason."

"Okay." I layed my head back down. After about 10 minutes, Dimitri put food on the table.

"You hungry Rose?"

I nodded my head. "A little."

"Tired too?"

I nodded my head again.

"We'll go to bed after we eat."

"Okay."

After we ate we got in to our pajamas, like Dimitri said. I crawled in to bed and curled up.

"Sweet dreams, Roza."

"Sweet dreams."

I shut my eyes and he wrapped his arms around me. "I love you."

"I love you too."

I woke up and propped myself up on my elbow, looking around. I saw Dimitri was on the phone, and gave him a questioning look. He mouthed Lissa and I nodded. House talk. How fun. I got up and called in for some donuts to be delivered to our apartment. After they were delivered, I ate 3 chocolate ones and he got off the phone.

"Great news."

"What?"

He laughed. "You know not to talk with your mouth full. I'm sure the Academy told you that plenty as a child."

"I was hungry. Now what's the great news?"

"Lissa can try to get us the house. It'll be hard but she'll try."

"That's great!"

He laughed. "Hence the 'i have great news.'"

I laughed. "Can we be the guardians that go with instead of Mykchel and Victoria?"

"Let me ask."

He called her and I ate another donut. He smiled and shook his head and got off the phone.

"She said yes. Get dressed quickly."

I got up and got in to my guardian uniform.

"All ready."

"Okay. Lets go."

We walked over to their apartment and waited for her to be ready.

"Hurry up Liss!"

"Sorry!"

Dimitri laughed. "Be patient."

"Sorry.."

She came out. "Ready."

"Why so dressed up?"

"I'm the Queen and I'm going out."

"Oh,okay. Whatever."

She laughed and we walked to the main office.

"Hello. I'd like to buy the house on Ash please."

"Sorry. It's taken."

"Well I think I should be able to get it, considering who I am."

He looked up. "Oh, nice. You managed to fake be the Queen. Smart."

I tried not to laugh.

"Excuse me? Who do you think you are to judge who I am? I am your Queen Vasilisa."

"Prove your the Queen."

"And how would I do that?"

He picked up the phone and dialed a number. Lissa's phone started to ring.

The man's eyes widened. "I am so sorry Queen."

"It's alright. Now may I buy the house on Ash now?"

"I don't know.."

"You owe me for your foolishness and games."

"Alright. I'll call the owner."

We smiled at Lissa and she smiled back. We waited as he spoke to the owner. After what seemed like forever, he hung up.

"The house is yours."

"Thank you."

"Your welcome. Here's the keys and everything to it."

"Alright. Goodbye."

"Goodbye." He bowed.

She nodded and we went back to her apartment.

"Oh my god that was awesome Lissa, thank you!"

"Anything for you." She smiled.

I smiled and hugged her tight.

"So when are you guys moving in to it?"

"Probably carry some stuff over there tonight then tomorrow officially move in."

"Sounds good. Call if you need any help."

"Okay, thanks again."

"No problem."

We left and walked back to our apartment to get some wedding gifts.

"Ready Rose?"

"Yeah, are you?"

"Yeah."

We carried a bunch of boxes to the house and Dimitri unlocked the front door. I smiled and we carried the boxes upstairs to our room.

"Do you want to carry them all tonight or just wait until tomorrow?"

"We can do them tonight and maybe sleep here?" I peered up at him.

"I don't know Rose..."

"Please? All we need is an air mattress."

"Oh, alright."

I smiled and hugged him.

"But we're eating at the apartment. I want our first meal here to be when we're all settled.

I smiled. "Okay."

We walked back to the apartment to eat then grab the rest of the presents. We stopped by Lissa's real quick.

"Hey. Do you have an air mattress?"

"Yes. What do you need it for?"

"We want to stay for the night."

She smiled. "Sounds good. I'll go find it."

We waited for her to find it.

"Found it!"

"Good."
"Here you go."

"Thanks Liss."

"Your welcome."

We went to the house and Dimitri blew up the mattress while I walked around the house.

"All done Rose."

"Okay."

I went up the stairs to our room and stood next to him.

"Ready for bed?"

"Yeah. We should look for a blanket."

I walked over and looked through the gifts for a blanket.

"Found one."

"Okay."

I spreaded it out across the mattress and looked at Dimitri.

"Uh oh, we forgot pajamas."

"Oh my god, we did. But it's okay, we don't need pajamas."

Dimitri laughed. "I suppose not."

"Oh, don't get all shy on me. We are married."

He smiled. "I'm not."

"Good."

We got undressed and layed under the blanket. I layed my head on his chest.

"So you really want to try your grandma's herbs?"

"Yeah. It's worth a shot. Why do you ask?"

"I'm just wondering."

"Okay. I had to ask, knowing you. Cause it is right over there." He laughed.

I smiled. "Yeah. Not tonight."

"On our honeymoon?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, good."

I leaned up and kissed him. He kissed back deeply and I rolled over so I was laying on top of him. We continued to kiss and he ran his hand through my hair repeatedly.

"I love you Dimitri."

"I love you too."

"Good."

"Why wouldn't I love you?"

"I don't know.."

"Well I won't ever stop."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

"Okay. Goodnight."

"Goodnight. Sweet dreams."

"Sweet dreams."

Hope you liked it! I enjoyed writing it, so please review :)
