I don't own of the characters, they belong to the mind of Richelle Mead.
Rose's POV
How could I kill the man I loved? I know that six months ago I set out to do just that but now that I was carrying his children and we had just spent a whole night together how could I.
"Dimitri, I can not make any promise. I know that you would never ask me to run with you but I want you to know that I will. I want to be with you no matter what. I just told you that. I love you." I said as I kissed him. We walked over to Lissa's cabin without saying a word, we just held hands.
"Lissa we are ready." I said as I opened the door. I could see that they had taken a cot from the school as well as a tray with things on them. As I walked closer I could tell what they were, tourniquet, vacutainer system, blood vials, alcohol swab, bandages and compression gauze. I was really glad that I had studied in health class. I saw Christian getting another cot ready.
"Why do we need three beds?" I asked.
"Well little dhampir, we need one for Lissa, Dimitri and myself. We all have to lay down to do this. Since Christian and Eddie will be taking a lot of blood from Lissa and I we well feel faint and or faint." Adrian said as his hand cupped my cheek.
Lissa sat in the first bed, while Christian prepped the tray. I watched him swab her arm right before he stuck the needle in her right arm. I watched the red flow through the tube into several iv bags. I watched as she grew even more pale then she already was. After six bags of blood Christian stopped the flow. Lissa smiled at me and laid back.
"Are you ok sis?" It was the first time I had ever called her my sister. I was so scared for her. I opened my mind and went into hers.
"I really hope that this works. I can only image what Rose is going through. I know what it is like to love someone and then have them die. I had almost lost her once; I can not lose her again,"
I walked to her side and held her hand. A single tear ran down my face. I love Lissa so much, and I knew that I could never repay her for what she was doing. If I was able to I would have fed her.
I watched as Eddie and Adrian repeated the same act. Once Adrian was finished he as well laid down. I walked to his since and laid a gentle kiss on his cheek. "Thank you so much for this. I am sorry again that I could not give you what you wanted. But thank you for allowing Dimitri to live and be with me." I walked over to the bed that Dimitri was laying on.
Eddie and Christian were starting the blood flow on him. I grabbed his hand and kissed him. 'I love you so much." I told him.
"I will see you on the other side my love." He told me as he closed his eyes.
Dimitri's POV
"I will see you on the other side my love." I told my Roza. But inside I was worried that I would not see her again, and if I did see her I would still be the monster.
I could fee the blood flowing through my veins. I could feel the high that I was getting as well as the sprit element. AS I closed my eyes I felt as if my whole body was flying. I could hear everything around me but I could not speak. I wanted to look into Roza's eyes but I could not open them as well. I was starting to worry that I was dying for real this time.
AS time went on I could hear Rose and Lissa talking about the children. I was so in love with my son and daughter. I could not wait to hold them in my arms. It was then that with the thought of my children my heart took its fist beat. I held my breath waiting for it to beat again. I started to feel uncomfortable it was then I realized that I needed to breath. I was coming back to life.
After what felt like months I opened my eyes and saw the most beautiful face ever. Roza.
"Your eyes." Was all she said. I could see tears running down her face. I lifted my hand to wipe it away and I noticed that my skin was once again tan. I was alive.
Several weeks later……
Rose's POV
I was still waiting for him to turn back or die. It was so wonderful to have him in bed with me every night and see his face every morning. No one but the five of us knew that he was alive. We did not want to tell anyone yet, for we knew that there would be questions as well as they would assign him to a Moroi. We had talked every night about what we wanted to do. He told me that he wanted to stay with me and our children but I could see in his eyes that he wanted to still be a guardian.
"Rose, I could tell the council that I was him to be my guardian. I know that they will since I am the last of my family. Then you and the children could move in with him and we would be together." Lissa said on day while we were spending time together. I could tell that she was still a little weak even after a few weeks. Adrian had barely come out of his cabin. I was not sure if it was because he was weak or if he did not want to see Dimitri and myself together. The night that Dimitri had finally become human again I told Adrian that I wanted him to always be in my life. I owed him my life for saving the man I loved. I knew that it would be hard for him, but I also knew that he would one day find a love like mine and Dimitri's.
I was only four weeks away from having my children. I felt like I was as big as a house. Lissa and I had gone to town and bought a crib as well as a lot of baby things. Adrian told me to keep the money that he had given me. He told me to use it on the babies; he told me that it was his gift to them. Once Lissa and I had returned Dimitri, Christian and Eddie built all the baby furniture. Our little cabin was so full that we could barley move around it. Lissa had told me that she and Christian would be getting a house soon since college would be starting a month after the babies came. She said that there would be plenty of room for the four of us.
It was nine at night when I felt the pain. I called for Dimitri from the bathroom. "Dimitri, my water just broke." I screamed through my teeth. He ran to me and held me tight. He picked me up and laid me on the bed. "I will be right back love. I am going to get the troops." And with that he was out of the room. Lissa and I had decided for me to have a home birth so that way there would be not questions at the birth. After a few minutes Lissa, Christian. Eddie, Adrian and Dimirti came in the room.
I was breathing heavy and screaming out in pain. I wanted to kill Dimitri for putting me through this. "Lissa, get me a stake. I am going to kill him." She laughed and wiped my head with a cold wet towel. Dimitri tried to come to my side many times but I told him to stay the hell away from me.
"I am so sorry my love. I wish that I could take the pain away. I wish that I could have these babies for you." He said as he finally reached me and took my hand in his. All of a sudden I was no longer in pain.
"Dimitri, can you take your hand off me for just a second." He looked at me with a scared look. "It is ok love just please do what I ask." The moment he took his hand away the pain came back. "PUT YOU DAMN HAND BACK ON MINE." I screamed in pain. And just like that he touched me and the pain was gone.
"What is it Rose?" Lissa asked.
"Well when he touches me the pain stops." I could tell that she was trying to understand what I was saying and then I could tell when she figured it out.
"It seems that Dimitri still has some of the sprit elements in him so he is able to help with the pain." She said she turned and look right at Dimitri. "It seems that you are Blood Promised."
Thank you so much for reading my first fan fiction. I will be doing a sequel. In the sequel Rose will have the babies and Lissa will explain when Blood Promised means.
