Dimitri explained everything he did to Tasha. Honestly I'm impressed. Dimitri usually isn't the kind of guy who'd get physical with someone, especially a woman. I gave him a hug and assured him that Tasha won't hurt me ever again. I knew deep down he was having some doubts, but I knew he wanted to believe it just as much as me. I took Dimitri's hand and dragged him to Veli and Bener's room. They were sound asleep in their cribs. A warm smile came to Dimitri's face.
"I can't believe I made them," he murmured.
"I helped, too," I piped in. Dimitri chuckled and nodded, sliding an arm around me waist. Everything seemed perfect. After a minute, Dimitri went to go take a shower. After Veli and Bener were born, while I was stuck in the hospital, I had mentioned to Alberta about Dimitri's sick little sister, she felt sad for Dimitri's sister. I had asked if I could get a bone marrow test, and Alberta was kind enough to do it. My test came out negative, I wasn't a match for little Viktoria. But Alberta suggested the core blood from the twins, from their placentas. I waited until Dimitri came back before telling him what Alberta suggested, he agreed. Alberta took Veli and Bener's core blood and did whatever needed to be done with it. Perfect match, both of them. Viktoria's getting the treatment she needs, and she's getting better.
After Dimitri's shower was finished, he and I went to bed. I was tired, but Dimitri looked exhausted. We gave each other a long kiss goodnight and drifted to sleep.

At school, Dimitri and I got a ride from Olena, we both gave Veli and Bener a goodbye kiss and went to school. Even though Olena works as a nurse, parttime, she tries her best to watch over the boys while Dimitri and I are at school. While Dimitri and I were walking to the entrance, Lissa ran over, talking her ass off. I enjoy Lissa, a lot, but she has so much energy it's ridiculous. I noticed Dimitri hanging out with someone, too. Ivan Zeklos. I don't know Ivan that well, but I can tell that Dimitri has gotten really close to Ivan. They enjoy each other's company. And if Dimitri's happy I'm happy.
"How's the boys been?" Lissa asked.
"Really good," I said. "Veli just got in his first baby tooth. So's Bener. They're so adorable." Lissa and my other friends have accepted the fact that I'm a teen mom, and I really appreciate them for doing that.
"Do you and Dimitri have any plans after graduation?" Eddie said. I hadn't really given it much thought, so I couldn't give an answer. I looked at Dimitri, who seemed to be thinking for a moment.
"I have something in mind," Dimitri said. He quickly looked down at me, blushed, and gave his head a sharp shake.
"What?" I asked. Dimitri shook his head. I shrugged, trying to act like it didn't bother me. But it did. Graduation's in less than a month, and I can't deal with the fact that Dimitri has a secret he isn't willing to tell. So I decided to not let it bother me.

Well, it looks like Dimitri really has gotten through to Tasha. When I saw her, there were some bruises on her, and the moment we had eye-contact, a look of intense fear came across her face. She was gone in the blink of an eye. I felt a happiness I hadn't felt since Avery left.

Dimitri and I are going to be celebrating our anniversary together. Sixteen months. When Dimitri told his mom, she said she'd take the boys and go to Sonya's place. Apparently Karolina has a new boyfriend and Olena's not comfortable having the boys go over there. I don't know what Dimitri has in plan for tonight, but I'm kinda excited. I was able to buy Dimitri a really nice gift. One of those western books he loves so much (apparently it's the next book in a series he's reading, or whatever) and those duster jackets. Dimitri had told me how he loved dusters but didn't have one. I would do anything just to see him in one.
I'm really excited.
