AN: So again, I'm really sorry this has taken so long to be updated but i have just got a new job that is taking up all my time :(

I also didn't know where to go with this story and i didn't want to bore you all with lots of chapters that wouldn't be worth reading.

So I think this is going to be it for this story. I just feel like I could do a lot better with a completely new story. I have got lots of ideas.

I was maybe thinking about sticking with Ava. Like maybe I could skip forward a few years and she could be the main focus.

Tell me what you guys think.

Enjoy and Review Please!

Chapter 10

I blinked and my tiny daughter came into view. She smiled and hugged me tight.

"Have you had enough sleep now Mommy?" she grinned.

"Definitely, I missed you baby," I replied, hiding my tears. I had come so close to losing her.

Dimitri was at my bedside. His face never failed to stun me, his perfect lips and gorgeous eyes full of relief. Without hesitating he walked forward and pressed his lips firmly to mine, not caring who saw.

"Are we a family now?" Ava asked, looking from me to Dimitri and back.

I frowned at her, "Okay little miss, who have you been talking to?" I demanded.

"I asked Uncle Adrian," she said guiltily, looking to Dimitri, "he told me you were my Daddy."

Dimitri looked worried, he met my eyes and I nodded.

"Well, do you want me to be your Daddy?" he questioned, suddenly looking more worried.

"I've never had a Daddy before," she smiled.

How could it be this easy? All that time I spent worrying about how Dimitri would react to Ava and how she would feel towards him had been pointless. I couldn't help but feel guilty. He had missed so much because of me. I would never be able to make it up to him but I would spend the rest of my life trying.

At that very moment I realised this was what I had always wanted. I had lived my life thinking my dream was to be a guardian but I was wrong. The only thing I would ever want or need was my little family. The one thing I never had when I was a child, a happy family. My baby was going to have that. I couldn't help the tears that fell from my eyes.

"Mommy? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" Ava demanded.

"No, I'm fine baby. Mommy's just very happy," I smiled at Dimitri and kissed him just as the door opened and Lissa, Christian and Adrian walked in.

"Well finally," Lissa muttered, "You two took your time didn't you?"

"Nice to see you too Liss," I smiled, she threw her arms around me.

"Don't you ever do that to me again," she whispered.

"I won't, thanks for making me better," I replied.

"Well I was hardly going to leave you to heal on your own, you took long enough with my help. There are more important things for you to do," Lissa told me.

"Oh yeah?" I said, "What am I missing?"

"Rose!" she scolded, "It is my wedding day in 5 weeks and 3 days, we have a lot to do. While you have been lazing around doing nothing I have been trying to plan the most important day of our lives,"

"Excuse me, I had been knocked out!" I laughed.

"It's okay Rose, I forgive you," she smiled.

"Oi, Fireboy, control your woman will you?" I muttered.

"Come on Rose, we both know no one can control Lissa, especially when the wedding is involved," he smirked.

Adrian moved back towards the door.

"Hey!" I shouted, "Who said you could leave?"

He turned back, "You talking to me little dhampir?"

"Obviously, everyone else is still huddled around my bed giving me lots of attention, what makes you think you can get of lightly?" I smiled.

"I wish I could stay, but I kind of have-" he paused, looking for the right words, "a friend...waiting for me,"

"Oh. Well okay then. I'll let you off this time but you had better not forget you owe me...big time." I raised my eyebrows, letting him know I hadn't forgotten him telling Dimitri about Ava or Ava about Dimitri. It was hard to be mad, he had fixed everything and I was glad he had found someone, though with Adrian you never knew how long the relationship would last.

"I won't forget, I will see you all tomorrow," he replied closing the door behind him.

I didn't want to jinx things but I couldn't help but thank god that things were all working out, I was alive, I had my amazing little family, Adrian had found someone to be with and Lissa and Christian were happier than I had ever seen them. For the first time in a long time I didn't feel worried about where I was heading or where the future might take me. For once in my life things seemed simple and easy, as long as I had my family, everything would be okay.

AN: So what does everyone think? I know it was a really short ending and i probably could've done better with it but i just wanted to get it done and out of the way. I thought you guys would prefer me to end the story rather than just start a new one so i did the best i could. Tell me what you think and if you would like more of Ava!
