Pairing: Rose/Dimitri

Rating: T

Point of View: Dimitri

"Daddy!" Alisa shrieks running outside after me, "Don't leave me!" She stands in the pouring rain on our driveway. She runs in front of me, bare little feet splashing in puddles. Her long cotton nightgown is getting soaked. The rain pours down my daughter's little face, chasing her tears away. I pick her up and carry her to the porch.

"Go inside. Stay with mommy," I tell her, "I love you baby girl." She holds onto me tightly.

"I love you, daddy," she whispers.

"Go," I order, "I'll see you soon." I kiss her little forehead and she runs into the house to find her mother. I turn and walk quickly to my car and climb inside, speeding away to a hotel. I rent a room and collapse on the floor, hiding behind the door. I pull the pill bottle out of my pocket and dry swallow a couple. I flash back to what just happened. It's October, the month we got married in the first place. And now, it's in October that I said it's over. Why did I say it's over?

I hear her screaming because I smell like alcohol again. I just roll my eyes and sigh.

"Baby, please don't do this," she whispers, "It makes my heart hurt to see you like this."

"I'm sick of all this goddamn drama," I growl, "Let me drown it out."

"Don't say that!" she cries, "Take it back. You don't mean it. You told me when I put this ring on my finger that it meant forever. This doesn't seem like forever to me. It's on, I'm not the one who's lost. You promised me."

"I can't take this anymore!" I shout, standing up and storming out of the house.

"Dimitri!" she screams. That's when Alisa chased me. I slam my head against the door.

Alisa sits in my lap and I rub her back gently. A five year old little girl shouldn't have to go through this. I feel numbness seep into my body as I remember the day I met my husband. The man that is causing me and our daughter so much pain. I pick my sleeping daughter up and place her in my bed, knowing she won't want to sleep alone tonight.

I feel my body connect with a wall. But the wall catches me. I look up into mesmerizing brown eyes. I blush and look down, pushing away from the man that caught me.

"I am so sorry," I tell him, "I wasn't paying attention and that was my fault."

"I'm only going to agree so I can let you make it up to me," he says, smirking.

"And how am I going to make it up to you?" I counter.

"By letting me take you out, on a date," he says, "I'm Dimitri." I shake his hand and sparks explode up and down my arm.

"Rose," I say, pulling a pen from my purse and flipping his hand over and scrawling my number on his palm.

One week later

"Tonight was just amazing," I say, beaming from ear to ear, "Maybe we can do it again sometime." Dimitri leans down and kisses me gently.

"Definitely," he tells me walking to his car. He waves once more and drives away. I sigh. The perfect end to a perfect date. I was eighteen then and now I'm twenty-four. Dimitri is seven years older than me. I should have known it wouldn't work.

Eleven months later

"Roza," Dimitri breathes, getting down on one knee, "I love you more than anything. Marry me?" I nod vigorously and he slips a gorgeous ring on my finger.

"I love you," I whisper against his soft lips as he kisses me.

Two months later.

"Dimitri," I mutter, tears streaming down my face, "I'm pregnant." He looks up from the papers he had been working on. He pulls me into his strong, warm arms.

"Let's elope," he murmurs, "Right now." He picks me up and we get in the car. We find a priest who agreed to marry us right then and there.

"This ring, it means forever. As long as we wear them, you're mine and I'm yours," he says, sliding mine on my left ring finger. I slide his onto his long finger, being too choked up to speak. He kisses me.

"Promise?" I whisper, finally finding my voice. He grins.

"I promise."

Nine months later

After ten excruciating hours of painful labor, I give birth to a beautiful baby girl. Then I find out there was another baby. A little boy but he didn't make it. We had one baby but lost the other. That is what broke us. I took good care of our Alisa but I cried every night over our Alec. He should be here but he's not. It's always been hard on both of us. I never thought it would spilt us apart.
