Hey there! Just a quick reminder...I do not own VA!


"Oh, Roza. That is nothing to worry about at this moment. You know you wouldn't be a bother to me by staying at my place. Think of it as our place, and once the baby is born, there will be more than enough room, trust me." I sighed in defeat and we continued walking with our fingers interlaced. I guess it will work for now.

Chapter 12

DPOV

The sun was out and it felt nice and warm. I led her towards the building where Lissa's apartment was, as well as our new place. Thank God everyone got it done in time. They were coming over the other night when we had all found Rose in the bathroom. I still don't understand what went on that caused everything to go on. I will somehow get her to be hypnotized or something so that we can get to the bottom of what is causing this and try to help her through it without it taking over her again. I love her and our baby and I don't want either of them hurting.

Back out of my train of thought, we reach the building and stopped. "I thought Lissa lives here…don't you live down there?" She pointed down the sidewalk a ways to another building that I had my own apartment in. Mental note: give back the key and notify the landlord that I won't be there anymore. "Well, I have to get something from here real quick then we can go home." She nodded and followed me in and up to Lissa and Christian's place. I didn't have to knock. There was an envelope taped to the door. Inside was the key with a quick note letting me know that they were too tired to stay awake any longer and that they would come over tomorrow and wished me luck. She had also let me know that the kitchen was stocked and had plenty of chocolate donuts for Rose. I laughed and shook my head at the last part, grabbed the key, and stuffed the envelope in my pocket.

"Her and Christian were too tired to stay awake. They said they will see us tomorrow. You need to get some rest." She tried to protest, but I silenced her will a kiss. I stopped it from getting too intense for the moment and interlaced our fingers while starting to walk further down the hall. Two doors down, I stopped at the door. "Who do you know that lives here?" I shot her a coy smile at her question. She was definitely confused, but not for long. "Just someone I love with all my heart. She is the one person I want to fall asleep next to every night and the one I want to wake up next to every morning. Did I mention that she has given me the greatest gifts in the world…herself and a child to love forever? She is amazing. I know you will like her."

Shit, that fucking backfired! I looked at her in disbelief as her bottom lip starting trembling. Her guardian mask went up instantly as she started sliding the ring I just placed on her finger off. I grabbed her hands instantly. "What's wrong, Roza? I thought you would be happy." She cut me off before I could continue. "You are with someone else and you think you have the right to ask me to marry you? I can't believe you did this to me! And here I thought everything was finally working out for me. I'm sorry, Dimitri. I need to go. Have a nice life." I grabbed her tightly before she had a chance to run from me, and I crushed my lips to hers. "Roza, you are the only one in my heart. Lissa got this place for us when she found out you were pregnant. Everything I said…I was talking about you. You are the only woman I could ever dream of spending my life with. You and our child are my world. Without you, I would be lost." With that, I kissed her hand while I slid the ring back into its proper position.

God, I feel like a complete idiot! I should have known that he was talking about me. Damn pregnancy hormones ruining my life! "I'm sorry." That was all I could say. The tears started running down my face from embarrassment and from the words he said sinking in. He really does love me…us. But why are we here? I know how much these places cost and I know that I don't have enough money saved up to be able to afford it.

"Dimitri, being pregnant, I can't be a guardian or get any job for that fact…nobody would hire me. How I am going to be able to keep this place? I know I don't have enough money left in my account to even be able to afford the next month's rent." I broke down in his arms with the tears being soaked into his shirt as he held me close to him.

He pulled away from me just a little bit…enough to be able to look me in my eyes. "Roza, I can afford it. Not only that, but Lissa and everyone else promised that they would chip in as well. You have no need to worry, sweetheart. They did this for us…not just you. I am going to be living here with you and our child. I will be here for you anytime you want or need me. Roza, listen to me. I meant every word I said. I will never leave you again…ever. You are my world, my reason for existing even. You are not going to get rid of me nor I you. This place is ours. I will pay the rent. All I want you to do is be happy, take care of yourself for our baby, raise our baby, and love me. Everything else I can take care of. Let me take care of you." With that, he cupped face in his hands and kissed with such a passion that I thought about letting him take me right here and now.

Suddenly, he broke away from me and dropped down to his knees and lifted up my shirt a little. Before I could say anything, he started kissing my stomach where our little was posting up shop for the next few months. "Daddy loves you, little one. Please tell Mommy she is being ridiculous and that we are going to be the perfect little family that everyone else wishes they could be. Auntie Lissa and Uncle Christian are just a few doors down and you can see them anytime you want. Uncle Adrian will be back soon too. And just wait till you meet everyone! We can't wait for you to get out here!" I smiled a stupid cheesy smile as Dimitri starting kissing my stomach and rubbing his hands on it.

Before I knew what was happening, my feet were knocked out from beneath me and I was safe and secure in my Russian God's arms. He unlocked the door and we went inside, quickly closing the door behind us. I looked around and everything seemed perfect. It was everything I wished it could be. Did these places come furnished already? And if so, how did they know my taste? "Well, Roza, what do you think of our new home? Lissa ordered everything online and everyone had a part in decorating and painting." I looked around in complete awe. He wrapped his arms around me and whispered in my ear. "Welcome home." Home…I like the sound of that.


DON'T HATE ME! OK...so as some of you are noticing, I try to update about every 3 days or so. The next chapter may take longer to post. I want to stay a few chapters ahead saved on my computer from what I have posted on here and it is getting dangerously close to being all that I have. I will try to complete a few more chapters as soon as I can so that there won't be any delay. To make up for the anxiety that I may have caused you, I PROMISE that it will be worth waiting for...and it will be a little longer as well! ;) If you love me, review!
