I don't own of the characters, they belong to the mind of Richelle Mead.
This will be the final chapter in Blood Promise: Things always change! There will be a sequel, as soon as I get it up will let you guys know.
Thank you so much for reading this and giving me reviews.
Rose's POV
I could not believe what I was hearing that my best friend was willing to give up her life to save the love of my life.
"Wait! You are forgetting one thing there Lissa. There are two sprit users here and he can't take enough from both to save him and not kill you or me." Adrian said. "But here is the thing, I am not sure I want to save him." If I had not been naked in this bed I would have chocked him Homer Simpson style. He knew how much I loved this man and he was willing to play the jealous boy card.
"Adrian you better rethink about what you just said." Lissa said looking him right in the eye. "Remember what we talked about that day in the library."
"Lissa you promised that you would not say anything." Adrian spat at her.
"Yeah well if you are not willing to help." She said when she looked right at me.
"What are you guys talking about? Are you going to help us or not? Because I am sure that I can find another sprit user." I wanted him to understand that I wanted him and Lissa to help me they were my friends, my brother and sister.
"Hey Christian why don't you and I leave these four alone." Eddie said as he tried to pull Christian from the room.
"The hell I am, I am not going to leave her with him." Christian said as he pointed to Lissa then Dimitri.
"Hey dumbasses I have a great idea, why don't you four leave so that we can get dressed. If you have forgotten we are both naked under these sheets." I told them. They quickly realized that I was right and left the room.
As we got dressed I turned to Dimitri. "Are you willing to do what Lissa says?" I could not help but have a little fear in my voice. I love him more then anything but I was scared to loose him again. I could not stand knowing that I would have to kill the father of my children.
"Rose I knew before I got here what I need to do to be with you again. I want to be with you and our children forever, but if you don't want me to do this will understand. You and Lissa are sisters and I will not risk that." He spoke as he put on his shirt.
"Well if Adrian agrees to this then we can do it. If not we will have to find another sprit user, because I will not risk Lissa's life like that."
Adrian's POV
I could not believe what I had just seen. She was naked in bed with that monster. That should be me. But no that dead beat was still alive, well in a way. I was struggling with what I needed to do and what I wanted to do. The selfish part of me wanted to tell her no way was I going to save him. I loved her and I wanted her to be with me. I was already starting to love the children inside oh her. I could see myself being there for them as a father. But the other half of me knew what I needed to do. No matter if he died she would never love me the way she loved him. I was always be her stand in. I hated that fact.
So that was it, would I rather be there for her as a friend, a brother, and an uncle; or be there as a stand in. I walked back towards Rose's cabin where the other three stood. "I have made up my mind."
Dimitri's POV
I could not keep my eyes off her as she got dressed. I remember the last time I had seen her naked. She was slim, tan and healthy looking. Now she was still tan and still healthy looking but the size of her stomach made my heart beat again. I loved the fact that she was carrying my children. I knew that my fate was in Adrian's hands. I knew that he loved her and wanted her for himself; I just hoped that he would put his wants aside and do what Rose wanted.
"Roza, I want to be with you as a human man again but if Adrian is not willing to help then I want you to realize that you must kill me. I will not affect another person by what I am. Do you understand me?' I wanted her to understand that this was my only chance and being human again. I hate Adrian, but I was willing to drink his blood to be with her, but I was not about to do that to someone that had no clue what was going on.
"But I want to be with you, and now that I know we have a way to save you I will do whatever it takes so that my children have a father." She cried. I ran to her and held her in my arms. I wanted to comfort her for as long as I had left in this world. If it was only a few hours or a few years I would do it. It was then that they came in the room.
Rose's POV
It felt so good in his arms. I could stay like this forever, but sadly they came in. "Well Rose, I have a few things that I want to say first before I give you my answer." Adrian said.
"Look Rose, I love you. I know you think that it is just a physical thing. But it is not, I love you with my heart and soul. I want to be with you as a couple, I want to wake up to that beautiful face every morning and I want to shower you with kisses every night before you fall asleep." I could hear a growl coming from Dimitri. I turned and gave him a look that told him that I only loved him and it was always going to be that way.
"Go on Adrian." I said.
"Like I said I love you and I want you to be happy. I know that if I do not do this you will never be happy. You will just survive, and I can't have you be like that. That is not the little dhampir I know. So I will do this for you and only you." He turned to look right at Dimitri. "But you need to understand, you will owe me for this, and if you ever hurt her I will kill you. Don't forget the gift I have."
"Well what will we have to do?" I asked. I could only picture Dimitri biting Lissa and Adrian's neck and I was a little grossed out as well as jealous. I tried to understand the feelings that were going on inside me. But I put it out of my mind.
"Well we can do this one of two ways, the first one is the normal way, and you just bite our necks and drink till we tell you to stop. The other way is really medical, kind of like a transfusion. So which ever you want to do Dimitri." Lissa said. I was hoping that he would choose the second one.
"I will do the second, since I know that I am in control of my thirst some what but I would be afraid to hurt either of you. When should we do this?" He said looking into my eyes. I could tell he was thinking the same thing as me, soon.
"We can do it tomorrow night. It will give us time to set everything up." Lissa said. I turned to look at Adrian. I stood up off the bed and walked over to Adrian.
"Adrian, I can not say how much this means to me. You will always be my friend, my brother as well as an uncle to my children. I will always love you like that." I said as I kissed his cheek. "Ok guys please leave we will all get together at nine in the morning, will that be enough time?" I asked Lissa "Yeah that is perfect. Come to my cabin and we will do this." After that she and the three boys left my cabin.
That night I spent the whole time in Dimitri's arms. We would make love, and then lay there with his hands on my stomach feeling the babies kick. As I saw the sun start to rise I was scared that it was not going to work. We held each other till almost nine in the morning. As we were getting out of bed I started to cry. "Love, are you alright?" He asked me.
"I am just scared that things will go wrong. What if you die for real this time? Or what if it does not work. I don't think that I will be able to kill you after last night. I can see the good in you and I know that you are not the monster that the academy tells us you are. And I know I would run with you and raise our children with you but we will always be on the run." I could not finish my thoughts because his lips were on mine at once.
"Roza, I would never ask you to run with me, I will not put you and our children in danger. I just want you to know that if it does not work and I am still this I need you to promise me that you will kill me."
I know that I said that this would be the last chapter but there is just so much I need to write to finish this part of the story so there will be another chapter. I am sorry this one took so long to get out. I was trying to decide where I wanted it to go. Thank you for waiting.
