A/N: quick note...I did the math and Zoya's birthday isn't until like October but for the sake of the story it's in February. So enjoy! I may have gone a little overboard with describing the party but well this is what I would want my party to be set up as :)

Also, quick note, all of the links to outfits described throughout the story have been taken off my page (I felt like the long list was rather excessive) so instead I put a link up for my Polyvore page, where I'm in the process of creating the outfits. Also up is the link to my Pintrest board dedicated to this party.

Now you can enjoy this chapter :)

"Oh hoho! Hiya!" a high pitched squeal came from living room screen door.

"Minnie!" Zoya shouted as she ran full force at…at…

"Is that Vika?" I whispered to Sonya, who nodded her head, chuckling.

"Guess who's Mickey…" Mickey? I wondered.

"Eh huhu ah hiya sport!" said Mickey as he came next to Minnie. I had to hide my laughter.

"Niko right?" Sonya nodded her head. I took out my phone and took a picture of Zoya, Vika, and Niko together.

Vika was wearing a vintage 50's pink dress with a bow shawl collar, a belt around the waist, and a full circle skirt. She wore her hair extra curly, pulling it back with black mouse ears headband, a pink bow right in the middle, and had on sunny yellow 5.5" heels, with a black smile printed on the front. In all honesty, she passed for a pretty good Minnie, and her Mickey was icing on the cake. He had on red jeans, that could quite possible be skinny or the boy was just that thin, a black v-neck t-shirt, and all yellow Keds sneakers. Oh! And he also had Mickey ears headband on.

"You know you guys are missing someone," I said after I took my share of pictures. I hurriedly ran to the trunk of my car and ran back with a box. "Zoya, do you remember what you asked me for your birthday?"

She nodded her head so I handed her the box, wrapped in glitter pink wrapping paper with thick white ribbon tied into a bow on the side. Unnoticeably, there were holes poked in to let air in. She set the box on the floor and lifted the lid, and screamed when she saw what was inside.

"You remembered!" she squealed

"I mean what are Minnie and Mickey without Pluto?" I asked as a baby golden retriever lifted his head out of the box and licked Zoya's face, making her giggle. I turned to Karo and gave a sheepish smile. "I know I didn't ask if it's ok, but I figured if you can't have a dog at your house, I'd let him stay with me and she can come over whenever or I can bring him over whenever."

"That's fine. Yes I would have liked a head's up, but it's a sweet gift. I'm not sure if she's ready to take care of a dog, so maybe we can teach her gradually and have him live with you until I think she's ready to have the dog live with her," Karo said, giving me a warm smile. After, we stayed back while the kids played around and went to the food.

Olena had truly set up a wonderful party.

The tables had a minnie mouse centerpiece. It was a pink base with different sized white polka dots, black tissue paper inside the base, and a spherical Minnie Mouse head on a stick, her bow being pink with white polka dots. The plates set around it were a big black one as the head and two smaller ones for the ear. The table cloth was the pale pink and there was Mickey Mouse confetti scattered around the centerpiece. In the back of the playground was basically desert wonderland.

In the center table was the cake in the middle with cupcakes on one side and cake pops on the other, and cookies next to the cupcakes, and rice krispie treats and Oreos next to the pops. The cupcakes were either chocolate with white frosting, or white with chocolate frosting, with a pink wrapper with white polka dots and fondant decorations: black mouse ears and red bows with white polka dots. I literally had no idea what flavors they were, but they were all covered in pink fondant, shaped with mickey's ears. The cookie was shaped like a number one with a bow on the side. The one was covered with pink frosting, outlined in black, and had white polka dots. The bow was covered with white frosting, outlined in white, and had pink polka dots. The rice krispies were shaped like minnie mouse's head, her ears lightly frosted black and a bow outlined in pink frosting. The Oreos were a regular sized Oreo as the head with two minnie Oreos for the ears and a pink bow fondant. The cake, displayed in the middle, was tuxedo flavored (white on top, raspberry filling in the middle, and chocolate on the bottom). It had a thin pink fondant covering it, with white polka dots. On top was black mouse ear fondant along with a white bow. On the top of the was written "Happy 1st Birthday, Zoya" in disney handwriting.

The table on the left had the pizzas, sodas, cups, utensils, fruits, and some candy. The table on the right the presents and in the back held the give away bags, which I had to say were freaking awesome! They had candy, like pale pink lollipops (the long, thin ones) that had minnie mouse shaped candy confetti sprinkled on it and marshmallow pop dipped in pink chocolate at the bottom and had minnie ears and pink bow fondant on the top. Also they had minnie mouse ears headband, globes, and a bag of assorted colored (pale pink, pink, and white) popcorn. It also had a little bag with Hersey Kisses tied around w a red ribbon that tied around a mickey mouse cut tag that had "Zoya's 1st Birthday" written in disney handwriting.

"This is a wonderful party isn't it?" Lissa said as she came up next to me.

"Yea," I responded. "Christian's cake came out amazing."

"Where did you find a puppy? And how did you know she wanted one?"

"A little pink birdie told me. And a classmate of mine had a dog that just had babies."

"That's perfect timing." I nodded my head. "Well I don't see why you don't just join the family."

"Well…I-"

"Rose!" Dimitri called. "Can you give me a hand bringing the gifts from the car?"

My eyes lit up and I nodded my head. "I'll be back, Liss."

I followed Dimitri to the front, where the car was parked, but when I got past the door I couldn't find him.

"Dimitri?" I called out as I looked around the cars. Nothing. He probably went inside for something. After looking around the cars again, I decided to go back to the party.

"Where do you think you're going?" a gruff voice said into my ears as he grabbed my waist and pinned me against his truck, making a scream escape my lips. Since the music and laughter from the party was so loud no one heard. Looking into Dimitri's eyes filled with amusement and lust, I found myself laughing as I wrapped my arms around his waist. "Hey," he said as he tucked a piece of hair behind my ear.

"Hey. You said something about presents?"

"Mmm yea, but I think I should give you yours first." I gave him a confused look, but understanding quickly came to me when he lowered his head and met my lips in a kiss. It started out slow, gaining momentum and soon our lips were pressing against each other as I wrapped my arms around him, wanting him as close as possible. His arms trailed down to my legs and wrapped them around him as he added more pressure, heating up our kiss even more.

"You know there are kids here," I said breathlessly as I rolled my head back as he sucked on my earlobe.

"Then get in the car," he said huskily. I opened my eyes to look at him. He was completely serious. He pulled me close to him and away from his car and opened the back door, throwing me onto the backseat and following me inside. God this felt like such a high school move.

"Oh God," I breathed out as he sucked on my neck and his hand went inside my sweater. Quickly, I pulled his lips to mine and picked up where our kiss left off, one hand pulling his hair while the other pressed on his lower back.

"Roza," he moaned out as he quickly discarded his shirt and my blazer and sweater. Quickly, his lips started trailing down my body. Causing me to arch my back and moan as I tightened my hold on his head.

"Di…Dim…Oh! Dimi...Dimitri! We…we can't," I struggled to get out, his touch making it hard to think. He moved back up and kissed my neck.

"Can't we?" he teased as he started kissing up to my lips.

"The-there are kids! They c-can see. Plus I am not doing it in the back of your truck, in front of your mother's house, at a birthday party."

"I am willing to do this. Are you?"

"Mm mm. But I'll do this," I murmured before pulling him into a heated kiss. Our lips synched with each other, our need for the other fueling our kiss. Somehow in the heat of things, Dimitri landed on the floor and I on top of him, but that sure as hell didn't stop us.

I don't know how long we stayed in that truck, but I didn't want to leave. We were trapped in our own little world and we didn't break away until someone saw us and banged on the window, making us get away from each other. And wasn't just anyone.

It was Tasha.

"What is she doing here?" I whisper-shouted as I grabbed my sweater and pulled it on and then put on my blazer, and smoothed down my hair. Yes, I totally felt like I was 16 again and my dad caught me making out with Jesse…in the back of his car. Dimitri had a smirk on his face as he slowly put his shirt back on. "What are you all cheesy about?"

"Roza, we aren't doing anything wrong. A little out there maybe, but you are my girlfriend, whether everybody knows it or not, and we were only kissing."

"Ok, Comrade, I don't know if you noticed, but that's you very irrational, very mental baby momma fuming outside. And, it wasn't just kissing."

He smiled and leaned on to kiss my forehead, before getting up and helping me out the car. As small of a gesture it was, it had a smile permanently cemented on my face. Plus, he was right, we're together so it's not like he was cheating. So as we stood in front of Tasha, I didn't coward behind him, instead I wrapped my arms around his waist and snuggled into his side, the smile still there. Of course, he wrapped his arm around me and pulled me closer.

"Can we help?" I asked smugly. "We were kinda in the middle of something."

"I could tell," she said dryly. "Honestly, I'm surprised you two weren't already doing it seeing how you're such a slut you'll do it anywhere…even at a little girl's birthday party."

Oh hell no! Anger flared inside me as I took a step forward and slapped her.

"Don't you ever call me that because I'm not the home wrecking whore in this. You are. You're so desperate to have a man you had to intoxicate one that was already taken and impregnate yourself. But guess what, skank. It didn't work. I still won."

Her piercing blue eyes, so identical to Christian's, darkened with anger and hate.

"So what does that make you? The bitch that took a father away from his child?" she screamed. Involuntarily, I cringed, knowing that she had some truth.

"No one is taking me away from my child," Dimitri growled in a deadly voice behind me. "You can run away if you want, but I'll find you and I'll fight you in court to make sure my parental rights aren't denied by some psychotic woman that can't get over the past."

"I wouldn't talk big game if I were you," she said, a sly, knowing smile on her face. "Must I remind why I hang on the past? I mean it's literally in my room waiting to be exposed."

"I so sick and tired of your games, Tasha. Go ahead, show the world. We're both adults and at this point it probably won't do any damage."

"Are you sure?" she purred. "Are you absolutely positive your slutty girlfriend won't leave you again when she sees it?"

"I'm not a slut!" I screamed before turning to Dimitri. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

She quipped an eyebrow at me. "Are you sure you want to know?" she teased. "This is big girls stuff and you might not be ready to handle it."

"Fuck you, Tasha. I'm done with you think you can toy with every one like a puppeteer. If you want to say something, say it, before I pick up where I left off in the mall."

She opened her mouth to say something, but someone beat her to it.

"I wouldn't say anything if I were you," Ivan said, Vika next to him with her phone in her hands. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Tasha's eyes widen before she masked her surprise.

"Yea, I mean all I have to do is accidentally press play right in front of Dimka and Roza," Vika said warningly as her and Ivan came to our little circle.

"You wouldn't dare."

"Oh I would," Vika said in a dark tone. "And with pleasure."

"Hold on, speedy," Ivan said with a chuckle before turning to Dimitri. "Man, V's gonna show this no matter what, while what the psycho bitch keeps hanging over your head might not exist anymore, but I think Rose deserves to know."

I looked behind me, and saw the battle in Dimitri's eyes. He wanted to tell me, but something was holding him back, but the longer he looked in the my eyes the more it seemed wanting to tell me. He gave me a small smile before taking a deep breath.

"Remember how I told you I dated Tasha in high school and she was my first time?" he began. I nodded my head. "Well I slept with before going out with her. I just wanted to have the experience, and then after we did it, I started seeing someone. I wouldn't say I fell in love with her, but I definitely felt something at that point. So much that I asked to use Tasha's 'love shack.' But the thing was, her parents would have killed her if she had sex before marriage. What I didn't know what Tasha liked recording what she would do in the room…"

"So she had taped your rendezvous," I filled in. He nodded his head. Part of me wanted to smile because this was the big secret, but seeing the guilty look in his face I knew there was more.

"She had threatened to leak the video if I didn't go out with her, so that's how I ended up dating her. I know if she leaked it, nothing would have happened to me, but the girl would have gotten bullied and judged and I didn't want that to happen to her."

Yea, now I did smile. "Do you know how utterly perfect you are?" I blurted. He looked at me with a confused look. "I mean I honestly don't care if you slept with the bearded lady when you were in Russia because you honestly couldn't do worse than her." I glanced at Tasha who had her mouth hung open. "That was before you knew me. I haven't been in many relationships, but I'm pretty sure your past endeavors are the only thing it's ok to keep hidden as long as they don't come back while you're with me. And what you did was noble. You sacrificed your sanity to date Tasha to protect the girls reputation."

"So…you're not mad?" he asked, utterly dumbfounded. I laughed and shook my head before planting a soft kiss on him.

"The only thing I'm mad about is that you let her use that over you this long. I mean really, she's probably married with kids."

"I love you," he said as he pulled me to him and kissed me harder.

"I love you too," I said with a giggle when we pulled away. I cut a glance at Tasha, who was tight lipped and pissed as ever, and a smirk formed on my face. "So now that you've played your cards and lost…again…do you have anything else?"

"Of course I do. I have this baby. And I'll make sure you never see him," she said, looking directly at Dimitri.

"I won't let you," I said getting in her face. "I will make sure that you never get so see your son. I will make sure all the courts know just how manipulative, psychotic, and delusional you are and how unfit you are to be a mother."

"You wouldn't dare," she said slowly. "You wouldn't dare strip a child from his mother."

"All I'm doing is stripping a child from a bad influence, and giving him a loving home."

"Oh this is golden," she said, throwing her head back in laughter. "How pathetic are you to willing raise my child and pretend to be his mother?"

"I'm not pretending. He'll know I'm not his real mom, but he'll love me as if I was. And when he's older I'll willingly give him the option to meet you. Just don't be surprised if he's just like his dad and picks me instead," I said. The smile on my face didn't fall when she slapped me.

"How dare you! You insecure, pathetic, worthless piece of trash. How dare you even think you could raise my child? You're still a child yourself, how can you possibly think you have what it takes to take care of a baby?"

"Easy. Unlike you, I won't be alone. I have Dimitri, my parents, and his family. Do you how many times Olena has told me directly how much she wants me to carry her grandchild, and how happy she would be to help me? Or how many times his sisters have openly told me how much they wish I was the one pregnant and not you? Don't worry about me because I have people to help me, and I can give the baby everything he needs to grow up."

"You little bitch. You'll have to take the baby out of my dead body before I let you get your hands on him."

"Ivan, do you see something wrong with this scene?" Vika suddenly said, her voice filled with question.

"Gee, V, I don't know. I see plenty wrong. Let's list it," Ivan said in a matching tone. "First, I see Rose fighting with someone not worth it over something that doesn't exist."

"I see the same thing. I also see a delusional home wrecking piece of shit that's fighting for something that's not there or hers."

"Wait what are you talking about?" Dimitri said. I could hear in his voice that he and I both have the same suspicions.

"She's not pregnant. You never slept with her," Ivan said in a serious tone.

"You're lying," Tasha spat out. Vika slowly approached her, pushing me back.

"I don't think he is," she said as she grabbed her belly and pulled it away. Wait what? I gasped, but so did…well everyone who were at the backyard door - Olena, Sonya, and Lissa. I looked at Dimitri and saw a disillusioned look in his eyes, filled with shock and emptiness.

"You…you…heartless, selfish…BITCH!" I shouted as I lounged at her. "How could you do that to him? You don't love him you only love yourself." I pinned her to the ground and started choking her.

"Rose! Rose! Let her go!" Viktoria shouted as she tried to get me off her, but I wouldn't budge.

"No this sorry excuse of a life is going to learn she can't just mess with people like that!"

"Rose get off her," said a new voice, filled with authority. I whipped my head around and saw Eddie on the curve, in a police uniform with his hand hovering over his gun. His face and posture was stoic, but I could see the humor bouncing in his eyes. Immediately I brought my hands up, keeping a tight hold on her body with my legs. "Up, Hathaway."

I stood up slowly, keeping my hands up. Tasha scrambled to get on her knees, clutching onto her neck as she regained her breathing. Slowly, Eddie walked up to us, I mean excruciatingly slow, while he pulled out his handcuffs. I nervously chewed on my lips as I saw everyone's eyes widen and Dimitri finally reacting and standing in front of me. Eddie held his hands up in surrender, sending me a quick wink before clearing his throat.

"Natasha Ozera, you under arrest," he said as he handcuffed her. "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be held against you in the court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you can't afford one, one will be appointed to you. Do you understand these rights?"

"WHAT?!" she shrieked. "She assaulted me! Arrest her!"

"Ms. Ozera I have read you your rights, do you understand them?"

"This is outrageous. Christian, aren't you going to say anything?" I looked up and saw Christian behind Lissa, his eyes filled with grief as he watched his friend take his aunt away in handcuffs. He looked down, clearing answering her question, before walking back to the party.

"Rose, there's more," Vika said once Eddie drove away. She pulled her phone out and played it. I heard Dimitri turn around when Tasha's voice played out of the speakers.

"That's her doctor," Dimitri said in a dead tone.

I looked up at him and saw all the happiness and light lost, leaving his eyes empty and broken. I bit my lip, not knowing what to say, and turned back to the phone when moans started coming out. I covered my mouth and gasped when I saw Tasha and the doctor get it on. Not only had she lied about being pregnant, and about sleeping with Dimitri, but she had also been cheating on him with the doctor. When the video ended, Vika put it away and gave us a sad look before ushering everyone back into the party.

"Dimitri, it's-" I began to say before he cut me off.

"Don't, Roza, please. Don't say it's not my fault. Or that I didn't do anything wrong."

I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around his waist, and rested my head on his chest. I felt him wrap his arms around me and rest his head on my head.

"We can leave if you want. And go to my place or your place and talk," I said softly. "Or just lay in bed and hold each other."

He lifted his head and kissed my forehead, making me look up at him. "Maybe later. I just…I need to be alone."

He got into his car and pulled out, leaving me standing alone in the parking lot. I decided that he was right and went back to the party, where the children were running around, completely immune to the mess that happened in the front.

A/N: Uh oh! Truth came out...Tasha's going to jail (btw idk if ANY of them are actual offenses that could land you in jail, but in my world just being Tasha is enough to get you life in prison)...and Dimitri left emotionless-ish...what do you think's going to happen?

Leave me a review! Tell me your favorite part, or what you thought of Zoya's party?

See you next week :D (btw there's probably two chapters left in the story).
