It fell wonderful to see some of my old friends again. It's been at least five years since I last saw them and I didn't leave on the best circumstances. Last time, was when I was in the city with them on my stupid and foolish hunt. I found Denis and his friends, the unpromised vampires. Where we staying in his friend Tamara's apartment. When they all went upstairs, I stayed outside laughing at some crazy lady when I was knocked out by some jerk, whom i despise.

It was good to see them again. Finally after all these years. I know some people won't approve of my decision but I had to see some old friends. Abe, Ambrose and Sydney can't stop me from having friends and fun. I have to be able to communicate to people other than them, they are just being selfish.

I knocked on their door shifting nervously from foot to foot. Wondering if they will welcoming.

But as soon as the door was thrown open I was bear hugged by Lev and Artur. When they finally let go of me. Something banged into my legs, I looked down to see Denis giving me a wide grin, in a wheel chair. He looked well considering he was in a wheel chair with serious injuries.

I hugged him as tightly as I could but without hurting him. Oh. How I missed these guys.

"Hey guys, don't you all look well" I said grinning at them.

"So do you, sexy. We've missed you, especially Denis over here." Lev smiling widely. While Denis started to blush and Art just smirked.

"Aww, I've missed you too."

"So not that we don't want you here but why are you here? Miss sexy." Art pointing at me.

"Well I heard about some idiot getting hurt and I'm looking right at him." Glaring at Denis.

"Well, I'm your idiot!" "Oh, I know you are." I said laughing slightly at our easy banter.

We all turned for a knock at the door. Art went to answer it.

As he opened the door. A beautiful girl ran in straight to me.

"Momma, mommy!" I smiled while picking her up and kissing her forehead. She's my beautiful girl. "Hey, honey."

A few second late Sydney came in looking quite flustered. "I'm sorry Rose, she really wanted to meet your friends, and she gets rather strong for me when she wants something."

I smiled, I love her so much. "It's okay, I was about to call anyway." Sydney left smiling politely at the guys.

Lev jumped up. "Wait, hold up a minuet. Rose, when did you become a mom? I never thought you were the type." Before I could answer but she got they first.

She jumped down from where I was holding her and ran to Lev jumping in the air as she did it. Thankfully Lev caught her before she fell. She then began to hold out her hand and said "I'm Milena Rose Vasilisa Hathaway; it's a pleasure to meet you..." she looked him up and down with knowing eyes. "... Lev." He shook her hand surprised at her but then he gave her a tight hug. And grinned at me.

"She's defiantly yours Rose" my smile grew wider.

Milena introduced herself to Denis and Art as well. Then began telling them about her life, which was rather endearing. We all talked for at least a few hours about how we all were and how life was treating us. I could have stayed all day and even all week but I noticed that Milena was starting to drift off. I gently scooped her in my arms, whispering. "Millie, let's get you home you've had a hard day."

"I'm sorry guys but I have to take her to bed. I'll come back late, I promise."

"You better come back, Sexy Momma. Because we still have A LOT to talk about and we haven't even finished catching up. Plus I don't wanna see Denis cry again its kinda pathetic." Lev expressed, at the same time giving me a tight squeeze and Millie a peck on the forehead.

"I will be back you can count on that." Smirking towards them "I just have to settle her down; hopefully I will be back in a flash."

Denis then asked a question the made my blood cold. "Where are you guys staying? Is it the Belikov's house? I know they miss you. You could stay here if you like, we don't mind." I flinched at the name.

"I would like to stay here; one it's too small for all of us together, two this place is a mess and finally we are staying in the motel across the road."

"Why aren't you staying at the Belikov's? Aren't you like a daughter to them?"

"Yer, but we can't stay too long and we really don't want to be found by any one and if we were staying with them they are likely to tell someone where I am." They all looked at me questionably. "It's a long story and I tell you everything when I come back. Okay?"

"Oh, you better." They sang in unison.

I headed back to our motel. With Milena breathing peacefully in the world of dreams, already fast asleep. I and Millie got to the motel easily without her waking up. I put her down for the night gently and tucked her in with a kiss on the forehead. Sydney said she would babysit for me so I could catch up with my friends. I offered for us all just to go back tomorrow but she said it was okay and that I would need to talk to them with Milena there. But I also knew it was because she was slightly uncomfortable with Evil Creatures of the Night, unless it's my family.

I smiled and thanked her as I left. As soon as I got back to their place was attacked with questions.

"WOW, The Rose Hathaway is a mom."

"Tell me EVERYTHING now!"

"What happened to you?"

Okay. Let's not say questions more like statements or demands.

I put my hand up in the air, trying to go for a calming gesture. "Whoa, guys calm down! What and where to do you want me to start."

"The day you left" they all demanded.

"Okay. Your all saying I left if I did that would mean I willing wanted to leave which I definitely didn't want to do." They all stared at me curiously.

So I told them everything and I mean everything. Being taken by him; prisoned, used as a blood bank, to escaping. And I went on and on which surprised me because I don't think i have ever been this honest before. But by telling them I felt soo much better. Like a weight had finally been lifted of my chest.

I told them about me breaking into prison for victor (which surprised them quite a bit) but I carried on. I told them of Dimitri being saved and to being arrested from murdering the queen.

By then they were jumping out their seats.

"What happened next?" they chimed.

"How did you get out?"

"What have you been doing for the last 4 years?"

"Well after a few weeks in jail I started to make me think real hard about what I needed to do with myself. I decided that if I ever got out I would leave knowing that being in my friends lives I was going to get them hurt. One day I got the all clear, they found a tape of Tasha killing the queen with my stake. That was evidence to let me go. But as soon as I got out I went to Hans the head of guardians, I knew I wasn't one anymore but I felt obligated to ask permission to leave court, he granted it and paid for my flights to Los Angeles. Hans said he was very sorry for what happened to me and that if one day I ever returned he would be there with open arms. So I left the next day and I've been living and working with Sydney ever since."

"What your now a human puppet?" Art, trying to be funny.

"Oh, thanks" a tiny bit offended by the comment.

"Wait! Who's Milena's dad?" Lev asked the question I've been dreading.

"Why don't you want to be found by anyone?" Denis being the only one with a sensible question that I'd willingly answer.

"I don't want to be found because I know that I won't be good for anyone, I'm hiding from Lissa my best friend, well old best friend. She's still looking for me even though I told her not to. And I know if I went to the Belikov's, which I want to do, they would tell him who will tell her. Do you get it?"

"Okay, I get it now." Art smiling.

"Sorry about all the hassle then just to see me then." Denis gave me a sympathetic smile. "You didn't have to visit me if you're hiding."

"Noo, it was nothing. I really wanted to come, it's been really nice to be with friends and I can't hide forever." Shrugging.

"Wait you never answered my Question?" Lev Whined.

Just as a knock came from the door.

Art went to get it.

"Shit, I forgot."

"What"

"Rose, umm.. thast Vika"

"What! Why I thought she hated you guys." I screeched.

"Well, now she dates my brother, Nikolai. And we have slowly become friends gradually. So she comes and checks I'm being good if he's not around." Denis stated.

"Well someone has to!" Vika said while she walked in, smiling.

She froze once she saw me.

SHIT!
