Rose's pov

I sighed as I finished cleaning the dishes. I looked around my perfect 2 stories house to find if there's anything else I need to clean. I moved into the human world 7 years ago. Now, you probably wonder how I end up in the human world and not with Lissa and not having my happily ever after with Dimitri? Let me start at the beginning.

After I slept with Dimitri in the cabin, I got pregnant. I know it's impossible, but I am after all Rosemarie Hathaway, I do the impossible things right?

I told Lissa that I was pregnant with Dimitri's child, she was happy about it, but then she told everyone that I got pregnant with some moroi that left me. At that time, I was angry and sad that my so like sister friend told everyone. Rumors spread so fast, faster than the news that goes on in Hollywood. Dimitri? He thought I cheated on him so he hates me and told me I was disgusting. I asked Lissa why, but all she did was treated me like I was trash. She made me pick up heavy things and tried to make me lose my precious baby. She never told me why. I couldn't handle the pressure, so I ran away from the academy without Lissa this time into the peaceful human world.

After that I found a job and started to work earning money to raise my child. So that's how I have my own house and job and a beautiful daughter. She's 7 years old. Time flies to fast. My baby has grown into a beautiful girl. She's in school right now. She's a straight A student just like her father.

I named her " Alessandra Rose-Natalya Hathaway". I wanted her name to be different so she can see how special and precious she is to me. I wanted to show her not only we are connected by flesh and blood, but by our names too. I call her " Aless" for short. Her middle name is Russian. I wanted it that way. Aless doesn't know about Dimitri, but she knows about Morois, Dhampirs, Guardians and Stirgois. Speaking of the vampire world, I never contacted anyone there at all, never again I shall have to do anything with them especially Lissa and Dimitri.

I looked at the clock and realized that it was almost time for me to go to pick up Aless from school. I grabbed my SUV's keys, my simple brown leather clutch and walked out of my house. I waved at Mrs. Parks who is like a grandma to Aless. She is very kind and loves Aless like her grandchild.

" Dear Rosemarie!, are you going to get Sweet Alessandra from school?" Mrs. Parks yelled from her porch. Her house is right next to mine. I smiled.

" Yes!, she'll be back home very soon" I answered sweetly at poor old Mrs. Parks who lost her husband a few years ago when Aless was a new born. Her husband loved Mrs. Parks and me especially my Alessandra. They would make chocolate chip cookies for her and invite us to dinner very often. Which was sweet of them. Sometimes I wish they were my parents. They treated me like their own daughter and Mrs. Parks still treats me like that. I love her for it. I vowed to myself that I will help her whenever she is in need of anything.

I started the engine of my SUV and it roared to life. I looked at the mirror. I was wearing my white spaghetti straps top and a light sweet pink sparkly sweater, it's not the blazing sparkly type, it's the small cute sparkly type. I'm a mom, not a teenager anymore. I started to wear more colors when I moved to the human world.

Aless's school is only 15 minutes away from my house. I drove out on to the street and took turns and stops. We live in a small town, people here are extremely safe and very nice.

I smiled when I saw sitting on the bench reading her book, waiting for me. I stopped in front of her and rolled down my window.

" Do you want to stay here or go home?" I asked teasingly at her. Her deep brown eyes sparkled when she looked up from her book. The wind made her long brown hair cover the side of her face.

She smiled and answered " Mommy!, you know I want to go home". I love it, when she calls me mommy. It makes me feel important and needed, like I'm special to her and I'm worthy enough to be called mommy by a beautiful angelic child like her.

I laughed at her expression as she got into the passenger seat with her white messenger bag that is filled with books. She smiled at me and I drove back to our house.

" Mommy, today my class studied about family and I was wondering who-" Aless asked but stopped in the middle of the sentence. I knew what her question is, but I want her to ask me. I want her to be brave and not scared of me.

Worry plastered on her little angelic face as she stared at her fingers. I glanced at her waiting for her to say something.

" Can you ask me your question again, Sweetie?" I asked as I took a left turn.

I glanced at her and she shook her head. " No, never mind, I don't want to hurt you" She answered instantly. Luckily I stopped in front of our house.

We both got out and I held Aless's hand as I unlock the door. Aless quickly sat on the couch facing the wide screen t.v.

I put down the keys and went to sit next to her. Aless won't look at me. I knelt down in front of her and said " Alessandra, whatever you ask me, I will answer you truthfully, but please don't be scared of me". Her deep brown eyes that she got from Dimitri bore into mine. She nodded and said " I'm sorry, I was just wondering who is daddy?". Her little voice sounded sad. I forced a smile, thinking about Dimitri is something I try to stay away from as much as possible.

I held her little hands and said " Your daddy is strong, handsome, loves children, very smart,kind and honest, his nam-" I was cut off by my iphone ringing. I gave Aless a small smile and mouthed " I'll tell you later". Aless's deep brown eyes were filled with happiness as she offered me a cute smile of hers.

I looked at the number and frowned. I slid my finger across the screen as I put my phone close to my ear.

" Hello?"

" Miss Rosemarie Hathaway?"

" Yes, who is speaking here?"

" Forgive me, Miss Hathaway. I am Guardian Dawn and we need your help"

A small feeling of panic ran through me. " I'm sorry, but I don't want to have to do anything with the vampire world".

" Please Guardian Hathaway"

Slowly anger seeped into me. " Do not ever address me as Guardian Hathaway, It's Miss Hathaway to you and to everyone in the vampire world and I do not wish to help". It may seem very selfish of me, but what happened to me in the past is way past forgiving and I will not risk my daughter's life to save some moroi or dhampir.

" Princess Vasilisa and her guardian is great danger, please they just need to stay for a few days"

I snapped " But it doesn't take a few days for the stirgois or whatever danger to reach my child's life!".

" B-but you will have Guardian Castile there with you and Princess Vasilisa's guradian there too, I assure you will be completely safe".

I closed my eyes and said " I will not risk my child's life".

" Please! if Princess Vasilisa dies, children and everyone in the vampire world will die after her".

I looked at my 7 years old daughter who is watching cartoon on the t.v. I don't want other children to die too.

" If they come how long will they stay?"

" at the most 1 week, at the least 3 days"

" Fine!, they can come, but if any kind of danger comes to me and my child, I can not assure you that I will stand by and protect the vampire".

" Thank you, Miss Hathaway, they will be there in 3 hours".

I hung up feeling really angry, but my anger loosened when I saw Aless laughing and enjoying the cartoon. I sighed and walked to her.

" Aless, we will have some guest coming very soon, can you please go up and take a shower?" I asked with a smile.

Aless smiled and said " Okay, who is coming?". I brushed her long brown hair from her little face and said " Someone I know a long time ago".

She nodded and hopped off the couch and went to her bedroom, leaving her bag on the couch. I smiled feeling so grateful for my daughter. I opened her bag and took out the books and looked for her homework. I found it and smiled because it was simple math. I put it down on the couch. Then I remembered that I need to prepare 3 bedrooms upstairs. I went upstairs and cleaned the rooms and organized the things in them. I looked at my watched and panic when I realized that I haven't made dinner for Aless yet. Oh my poor Alessandra!

I quickly went downstairs and saw Aless looking out of energy. I sighed and said " I'm sorry, Sweetie, I'm gonna make dinner okay!". Aless gave me a tired smile as she went back to watching the cartoon.

I went into the kitchen and made pasta and the sauce. While I was mixing the sauce, the door bell rang twice. Aless got up, but I stopped her and told her to go back to the couch. She obeyed me. I took a deep breath and tried to ignore the feeling of wanting to punch a tall blonde. I opened the door with a cold expression.

Lissa smiled and said " Hi Rose!". How can she sound so happy? Oh right, she's a hypocrite. My heart stopped beating when I saw Dimitri standing next to Lissa. That Guardian Dawn didn't tell me that Dimitri is Lissa's guradian? Ugh! I averted my eyes back to Lissa and said " Anything happens to this house including the people inside of it, I will make sure you will pay for it".

Lissa smiled and pushed me aside so she could get inside. my mouth hung opened as she went inside. Her super nice guardians followed. I glared at all 3 of them. Let's hope they leave in 3 days. Then Alessandra quickly pushed Lissa aside to find me. Her little arms wrapped around my legs. I smiled down to her and she smiled back. I could feeling everyone's gaze on me. I pick Alessandra up and her legs wrapped around my waist.

Her long brown hair flowed down over my arm that held her to me. I looked at Dimitri who looked at Alessandra intently. I nudged Aless and she looked at the people around her. I sighed and said " This is my daughter Alessandra". Eddie smiled and waved at Aless which made Aless smiled back. I'm not angry at Eddie, but I'm disappointed that he didn't help me when I needed his help.

Then I pointed to Lissa and said " This is Princess Vasilisa, That's Guardian Dimitri Belikov and Guardian Eddison Castile". Aless did not smile when I introduced Lissa and Dimitri. Aless hugged into the crook of my neck. I gestured my head to the dining table that was big enough for 6 people. Lissa sat at the end of the table, Dimitri did not sit down yet so did Eddie.

" Aless, what's wrong Sweetie?" I asked worried about my Aless.

Then she whispered into my ear " I don't really them, I don't want to have dinner with them". Now this made me a little upset that my daughter lost her appetite because they were here and she didn't like them very much.

I walked to the couch and set her down and whispered " I'll be back Sweetie". She nodded and laid on the couch. i walked back to the kitchen and set the plates on the table. Lissa kept smiling and i wanted to punch that silly brainless smile of hers off her face. Dimitri tried to help me many times, but I always take the things away from him and ignore him. For Eddie, I didn't say much. I don't feel like being friendly, I just want them to leave me and my daughter alone.

I dished up the food for each of them and waited for them to finish eating. " Aren't you eating it?" Lissa asked while there was food in her mouth. Disgusting!

I looked at her coldly and said " Didn't anyone ever teach you not to talk while there's food in your mouth?". That made everyone at the table stop eating. I sighed and went into the living room to see Aless. She fell asleep on the couch. I looked at her feature and tears ran down my face. She looks so much like Dimitri especially her eyes.

I sat down above her head and the memory of Dimitri accusing me flashed into my mind. He had declined his own daughter, a child he always wanted. He has one, but he will never be a father of one.

Then I noticed someone's gave upon me. I looked up and saw Dimitri looking at me. I quickly wiped away my tears with my hand and said " Is there anything you need?". Dimitri sighed and said " Yes, I need you to talk to me".

I looked away from him and said " I already have" . Then I gently picked up Aless and walked upstairs. Dimitri followed me which I did not like that much, but I did not want to wake Aless up. He opened the door for me when I couldn't twist the nob.

Aless's bedroom is the second biggest bedroom in the house. Her room is light pink, the carpet is ivory, the bed sheet is light pink and white, the curtains are light yellow with white lace at the end. Her walk-in closet is white too. So everything in her room is all light colors. That's why I'm wearing pink more often too.

I laid Aless down in bed and turned down her night light. That made her bedroom dimmed.

I walked out and saw Dimitri watching my every move. I glared at him and snapped " I'm not a stirgoi! stop watching me like that". Some part of me was very angry that Dimitri was not here because of me or Aless. He once called me ' immature' Well! I've grown! I have a beautiful daughter he could have shared with me,but he made the worst decision and that caused him to loose his only child.

Then he grabbed my wrist and pushed me up against the wall. I struggled under his strength. I haven't work out ever since I ran away so I'm kind of weak. Let's just say, I'm more motherly now. No more Guardian Hathaway. I glared at him and said half yelling " Let go of me!".

His face was really close to my face and he said " You used to be able to get out of my grip". Duh! I know that!

" Used to! Not anymore! So if you will kindly let go of me" I said through gritted teeth. I was loosing my breath already just by pulling my arm and moving around. Hurt flashed in Dimitri's eyes and he asked " Is she my daughter?". That question made me stop moving. I stared at him.

Should Rose lie or tell the truth?
