I thanked god that I had started training with Dimitri again not so long ago. Because if I hadn't, I would have been long gone. Dead. After a couple more kicks and punches and cutting his head off, the Strigoi was dead. I would have celebrated but there were nineteen more Strigoi. Dimitri had trained me to use whatever I could find as a weapon; I had found a machete lying around so I was using that as a decapitating utensil. The Strigoi snarled after I removed my machete from out of his heart and proceeded to taking out his head.

After six more Strigoi, I was exhausted. I could take on a couple more but I was indeed going to die here.

I was weakening bit by bit. I was about to fall at any second; I was going to die.

Adrian, please take care of our children. And don't forget that I love. I sent through the bond. He wouldn't hear because the bond had gone one way. The only way to get it back to two way was if I let him drink my blood regularly. I don't think that would ever happen.

I'm gonna die and I can't do anything to at least try to stop it.

Then, like a burst of lightning, he arrived, staking Strigoi after Strigoi like the way I used to remember he used to stake, in the way he had taught me. Like the Russian Badass he was. I was falling to the ground falling. "No, Rose, don't go out on me yet!" The same words he had used when Natalie had been throwing me around. He couldn't aid me and kill the evil Vampires at the same time so he settled with killing them first and then coming to help me later.

And then I remembered. The ghost. The ghost that had once helped me rid him off me back in Russia. I needed them now; I needed their help right now. They were the only ones that could help Dimitri and I.

"Come to me." I called out, sort of summoning with my mind. Nothing happened at first. "Come to me; I call for you!" I said louder. Some Strigoi looked over my, looking at me like I was a freak. I was surprised they didn't come for me yet. One by one, the dead spirit started showing themselves. I was surprised Mason was still among them.

The looked at me as if to say what do you want now? To answer their question, I pointed over at Dimitri who was struggling with many Strigoi. It was clear he was loosing the battle; I couldn't bare to loose him again. "Get them. . ." I said, trying to stay alive. I need to stay alive for Adrian, Ervin, Taylor, Emmett, Valerie, Damon, and Zoey. And everyone else whom loved me and I loved back.

The ghost got rid of the Strigoi in seconds. Dimitri just gaped at them. When they were done, I thanked them and made them depart. "Thank you. You may depart." I said as I watched them vanish one by one as they first appeared.

Dimitri stood like an idiot for a second longer before coming to me. He lifted me in his arms. Tears dripped out of his eyes. I felt like my job was done here, that it was time to go. I reached up to stroke his hair. "How did you know I was here?"

He started stroking my hair like I was doing to his. "I could always sense you, Roza. No matter how far, no matter what. You know you will always be my Roza." He lifted me up in his arms and carried me out to his new Audi that Yaritza had purchased for him. It was an awesome silver car. I hope I didn't stain it with all the blood that was gushing out of my forehead.

He took of his shirt and made me hold it against my head. The pain in my skull was too hard to ignore so I passed out.

When I woke up, a strong hand was intertwined with mine. I opened my eyes and met the gorgeous, anxious eyes of Adrian. His eyes were tear stained as if he had been crying for a while. Aww, my poor husband has suffered the most by my fault. I was always getting into trouble.

He shook his head. "This is the last time you do something as reckless as this!" He sort of yelled at me.

"I'm fine." That was what I seemed to say every time I got hurt or anything. I looked around. "Where are the kids?"

"They are not allowed in here but they are in the main lobby with Vera. Everyone is worried sick for you. They barely leave the hospital. And remember to thank Christian again; he saved your life again."

I remembered the big gash on my forehead. "He donated blood to me again." I stated.

"Yes, I owe that Fire so much now." His forehead creased to wrinkles. "Belikov told me some of the story, but you have to tell me the whole story."

Trying to think made my head start hurting. Plus, I couldn't really remember anything just killing and Dimitri. I stopped trying to remember when I realized that he had saved my life again. I really owed Dimitri a lot. I'd have to thank my Russian god and fire-hotness later. I shook my head at Adrian. "Not right now, okay? I just need to feel alive again. And I need your help on feeling alive again."

"My little dhampir, how can I help you?"

"I want those sexy lips to kiss these simple lips of mine." He smiled once and his soft lips were overpowering mine. The way his tender lips moved over mine made me forget about everything like always. I don't know of a girl who wouldn't kill to be kissing these lips right now.

"Better?" he asked when we were done kissing each other. His lips went to mine again.

The door burst open. Yaritza and Vera ran into the room. "Sorry to disturb you Adrian. . ." Yaritza said, coming to hug me. "But we need to see Rose!" Vera finished for her. Vera and Yaritza hugged me so hard that it was kind of difficult to breathe. "Rose! Damn we almost lost you again, girl!" Vera said. Tears were falling out of Yaritza's eyes. Those pregnancy hormones were the cause of those tears.

"Wipe those tears of that face; I'm still alive."

It made her cry more. "Barely." But her crying finally stopped.

The whole Ivashkov crew and Mia, Eddie, Lissa, Christian, my father and my mother came dashing in after these two were done talking with me. They all came running in to me. I was given hug after hug. I got an exceptionally long hug from Dimitri who whisper "I'm glad nothing bad happened to you" in my ear. I admit that I still loved him; I didn't know of anyone who forgot their first love. A first love was such too deep in you. I smiled at him. "Thanks, Comrade."

He smiled this time. "No problem, my Roza." I still got a that feeling that I used to get whenever he used to call me Roza back then. Although I was twenty five years old, I still remembered that winter when it was him and me and I knew he remembered them too. When we so madly in love but we could never show our feelings or else we would get in trouble.

Adrian and Yaritza looked curiously at the two of us. They would never understand how it had been for Dimitri and I. Hell, neither would we, Dimitri and I.

My last two days in the hospital passed very quickly. I was glad when the nurse came in told me I was free to go. I hated the hospital and I wanted to spend one year at least without coming back. That would be the greatest gift ever. But of course, with the luck I had, I think I couldn't last a month without coming back to the hospital.

"Ready to go?" Adrian asked handing me my coat and Zoey who was clapping her hands.

"Yes." I said taking her out of his arms.

He wrapped an arm around me and led me outside the hospital room's door. I walked painful since my ankle was sprained again. It was hell trying to walk down the small steps that lead to the main entrance. I tripped over my own feet and I would have fallen flat on my face if not for Dimitri standing there next to Yaritza. "Careful, Roza." He said, fixing my stance.

"Thanks, Comrade." I smiled at him. Adrian and Yaritza looked curiously at us again.

Adrian came back to me and hugged me to him again. His new Camaro was waiting by the curb, engine running. Adrian lifted me up and put me inside the car's warm seats. Zoey was riding with Yaritza and Dimitri in the other car. I wanted to see my baby; I wondered why Adrian had put her over in the other car. Erik and James, Yaritza's twins, were crazy over Zoey; they often fought over her. They did everything together. One time, I had caught the two boys and Zoey eating mud and dirt. Another time, Erick, Joey, and Zoey had be eating, or trying to eat some barely dug up worms. Yes, Zoey was a crazy girl. Like her mother.

Adrian looked over at me and smiled when he saw that I was smiling. "Why are you so smiley?" I loved when he smiled; it was just so breath taking. But it was better when he smiled during sex. That was really breath taking.

"I am smiling because of Zoey." I laughed recalling the worm incident. "Remember that time when we caught her eating that worm?"

He laughed with me. "And she started crying when you pulled that worm out of her mouth." He laughed even harder. "That was the laugh of the year."

"It was." I agreed. We continued trading back funny stories from the twins back and forth.

I stopped laughing when I noticed that we weren't heading to the house anymore but to the house he had recently bought on the outskirts of town. I had never gone to that house ever before. But from the way Yaritza and Vera talked no stop about it, I knew it was beautiful.

I looked to my left, outside the tinted window. The house was gorgeous, indeed. A vineyard house.

It was surrounded by grass the way a vineyard house was supposed to be. Rows and rows of grapevines were planted there. The house was no where in sight but I could see the road that led to it. Adrian drove up to the big iron gates. He punched in a code and the gates opened. He grinned over at me. "Cool, huh?"

I smiled like he was smiling. Wickedly. "Very cool." And then I amended. "Like you."

He smiled cheekily. "If you want to tell me those comments say them when we are alone and not when we are in public." He looked around. "Not when the security cameras are watching us."

I cocked my head to the side. "Don't you moderate those?"

"No. The guardians do." He smiled cheekily again. "But if you want they could watch if they want."

I felt the very uncomfortable feel of the seat as he pressed closer to me. I decided to wait. I leaned away from his kiss. "Okay, I'll wait."

He straightened himself and began driving again. The road to the house was full of trees and. . .green. Different types of plants were scattered all over. Flowers were on the side of the road. It was a quiet ride; he probably wanted me to admire in silence. It was a very beautiful house. It could see why Yaritza and Vera talked non stop about it.

We stopped in the front of the house.

He went over to my side of the car and opened the door. He kissed me a couple of times before lifting me out of the car.

He carried me inside. The front door was made from that old kind of wood, the one that didn't break so easily. The door itself was antique. The door opened by itself and cute stood there. "Sir, Adrian. Welcome back."

"Thank you, Shultz!" Adrian said while he tried to get me inside the house.

"Well this must be your wife. Your daughter Taylor sure looks like her." Shultz leaned down to look at me better. Adrian set me down but still kept a hand around me for support. Shultz reached out a hand out to me to shake with mine. "Nice to meet you. . .Mrs. Ivashkov." He chuckled. "Good god, how many Mrs. Ivashkovs are there?"

I smiled. "Well there are a lot of Ivashkovs in this world."

He smiled. "And you just brought six more into the world."

I looked over at him. "It was Adrian's fault. He didn't how—

"Little dhampir, what do you say of taking a tour of the rest of the house?" He knew what I was going to say. He didn't know how to use a condom right. Was what I would have said.

I smiled over at Shultz, who's real name was David. "We'll talk about it later." He nodded and left us to do our own thing.

Adrian walked me all over the house.

He took me to the big kitchen. It had granite counter tops. There was a mini table bar ,located in the middle of the kitchen, with four stools aligned by it. Three lamp things hung from the ceiling in order to fill the room with light. All the cabinets and drawers were painted white. The dinning room table was in a separate room beside the kitchen. It had a big twelve person dining table. It was all gorgeous.

We passed the living room as we made our way to the master bedroom. The living room was simple; that how I liked my decoration. It had this retro theme to it; I had to change that soon. I really didn't like retro.

Adrian was eager to get me in bed because he didn't say a word as we made our way to the bedroom. He stopped us when we reached a pair of wood double doors. He smiled wickedly as he opened them. The room was awesome; we had to give it that. It was very spacious. In the middle of the room, was the awesome king sized bed with a brown comforter on top. My favorite thing about it was the lots of pillows. A picture of Adrian and I sat on either wall. The other favorite thing was the set of glass doors that led outside, outside that held millions of trees.

Adrian set me on the bed. He laid down on top of me, being careful not to disturb my ankle. He unbuckled his jeans and belt.

I laughed. "A little eager, huh?"

He kissed me, hard. "Yes. Always eager for you."

I kissed him again and he slipped of my tan cotton dress. I tore at his shirt and tossed it on the ground. He had gotten a tan over the past few weeks, which added more sexiness to his sexy muscles and body. He unhooked my braw and he, like me, admired my naked body. His lips traveled down my throat and kissed all his way down to my clit.

I moaned very loud as he gave me butterfly kisses there. His tongue moved this way and that. My hands buried in his hair, pushing him down to make him stay a little bit longer there. I was all wet when he was done but the best part was yet to come.

He teased me before going in me. He began thrusting in and out. Our breaths mingled; our heartbeats reached the point till they were at the same pulse, at the same beat. His member got even harder and his thrust became even faster; he stopped when he ejaculated in me. That feeling, just added more pleasure to my orgasm.

He looked lovingly into my eyes as I tried to catch my breath. "I never asked. What did you think of this house?"

"It's amazing." I wrapped the sheet around me tighter and snuggled closer to him; his warm body helped against the cool wind the blew outside. "This it, this is our happy life." Was the last thing I said before he kissed me again and made love with me again.
