The Wedding chapter 5

DPOV(Dimitri).

I can believe this is happening? It has to be a dream, not a nightmare, believe me I know what nightmares are. But Rose has just told me… I'm a Father? Like it was no big deal. I wasn't aware that Damphirs could have children with other Damphirs, but I have always known that Rose was special, so I guess anything is possible. No doubt she is going to explain everything to me, I mean you can't just say something like that and not give me an explanation.

But I am now holding my beautiful baby girl in my arms and she is sound asleep, it feels so right…like she is meant to be in my arms and I feel so happy for the first time in ages. I feel at peace, it's like there is so much love radiating off her tiny little body and I am seeing for the first time, everything seems so clear. It's such a strange feeling, I don't know what to make of it, but I just want to hold her and never let her go.

"Dimka!" ….I know that you have so many questions and this is a lot to take in now. But do you think we could sit down and discuss this. I am here to support both you and Roza." I have missed Babushka so much, she is a very wise old lady and it brings me comfort to have her here.

"Yes! Of course" …"please follow me"… And I lead them into the living room. There was a man following Babushka and I stopped him in his tracks.

"Who's the suit?

Roza decides to answer my question before we head into the living room; I will not welcome him into my home till I know who he is. I have a sense of protection when it comes to my daughter, as I hold her close to me and kiss her forehead. . I am currently staring this guy down, as I tower over his frame. He is a pretty big guy, but not as big as me.

"Dimitri calm down" Rose comes up to me and places her hand on my shoulder, the moment she touches me, I feel the electrifying feeling I get from her hand touching my body and I start to relax almost immediately. God I have missed that feeling we get when we touch and our daughter even stirs like she knows her mother is close by, but she doesn't wake.

She is probably due for a feed, but she doesn't seem like a fussy baby. I wonder how Rose is feeding her 'Breast' which probably explains why they are so huge SHIT don't think of that now. The last thing I need is to get a ragging hard on with my grandmother and the suit in the room. Or is she bottle feeding, maybe Babushka brought some bottles with her. I did happen to notice the bag slung over her shoulder when she came in.

"The suit! As you call him, is your daughters Guardian." WHAT! why does my daughter need a Guardian? I say silently to myself.

"Roza!"… "Why does our daughter need a Guardian? Are you insinuating that she needs to be protected from her own father?"

"No Dimitri!" "Don't be ridiculous, if you would sit down and stop jumping to conclusions and let Babushka and I explain why? You will have a clear idea why our daughter needs protecting." she says in a calm but slightly frustrated voice.

"Well does he have a name at least? I would like to be introduced to the man that is assigned to protect my child." I say still staring the guy down. But I am a little bit more relaxed. I have stopped giving him dagger eyes and now I am just trying to see if he is good enough to protect her. He seemed intimidated by me and I look at that as a weak sign. But maybe he was just shocked that his charges father acted so aggressively towards him.

"Our child Dimitri!"… "And yes he does, I was just about to make the introductions. But it's hard when you won't let the poor guy come in." she sighed in frustration.

I turned around and looked at Roza, she still looked so tired and I didn't want to give her any reason to be upset with me. But she has to see that I am just trying to look out for my family. But the fact that she is being so patient with me and a tired Roza is not a patient Roza…I better not push my luck.

I leaned in and kissed her on the forehead and surprisingly she allows me, my lips tingle as they touch her skin and I have this need to press my lips to hers. But I am grateful that she is letting even this amount of contact, considering how I treated her in the past.

I linger on the kiss longer than I should closing my eyes and careful not to crush our daughter between us, taking in her wonderful scent. God she smells so good. I pull away and Rose leans in and kisses our daughter on her soft baby cheek. We are suddenly sharing a moment together and it seems like we are the only people in the room. I finally have a family. And it's the best feeling in the world.

Babushka clears her throat and both Roza and I look her way, she is not annoyed, she just looks eager to sit down and talk. Then Roza calls the Guardian over.

"Dimitri!"…" I would like to introduce you to 'Guardian Mike Kingston'" "Guardian Kingston!" … "This is Alisa's father, Guardian Dimitri Belikov" We shake hands and then after the introduction we begin to walk into the living room. I can't tell you how good it feels to be introduced as a Father and for the first time I hear my daughter's name.

Roza takes a seat next to Babushka on the lounge and Guardian Kingston as the trained Guardian he is, chooses to stand against the wall. While I take a seat in one of the armchairs. I am so grateful that Roza is letting me hold my daughter for as long as I have and really I don't think I can let her go at this stage, she has managed to keep me somewhat calmer than I expected.

Even when I demanded to know who Guardian Kingston was, I was a bit on the edge, but not full on rage. Which is strange because I have been snapping a lot and loosing my temper since I was restored? Which upsets me because before I was awakened I had great self control?

It was quiet for a while in the living room; I wasn't sure who was going to start first. So I sat looking at my beautiful daughter in my arms and she was so tiny and so absolutely gorgeous and I am not just saying that because I am her father. She really is the most beautiful baby that I have ever seen, she is just perfect and I made sure to be careful when I sat down with her. I still can't believe she hasn't woken up; I am dieing to look in her beautiful eyes. I didn't really have a chance when Babushka handed her to me, because as soon as she was in my arms…she fell asleep.

Roza clears her throat and gets my attention away from our daughter. I look at her and she looks a bit worried. Oh God! Now what?

"Dimitri!"…"There is something else that you should know." Roza looks at Babushka and Babushka nods her head at her to continue. "Alisa isn't your only child." My heart started racing and I am looking at Rose with no doubt a shocked look on my face.

"What do you mean by that Roza?"

"Dimitri!"…"I had twins!...you also have a son, his name is 'Jacob' and right now your mother is looking after him and he is being Guarded by his Guardian. 'Guardian Vlat Borovski'"

I am sitting on the armchair and I don't even think I have blinked; I am frozen on the spot. I am trying to process this at the moment and my head is just spinning. I'm not going top pass out, but I can't believe that Roza gave birth to TWINS! Our babies…A Boy and A Girl.

" Roza when you say Momma has our son, where exactly is that?"

"I have a house not far from the Academy and your mother is there along with your whole family. My father brought the house for me, along with the car and a no limit credit card. He arranged to fly us all here on his private jet a few days before that Wedding. I felt that you had a right to know about your children and your family had a right to know that you were alive." Roza closed her eyes and a tear fell down her cheek. She was either upset that I didn't tell her about the children or the fact that she told my family about me being restored. It broke my heart to see her that upset.

I got up and made my way over to her being careful not to stir Alisa. I went and sat down next to her as Babushka made her way over to the armchair that I was sitting in and then I put my arm around her, she hesitantly leaned into me, but she would look at me and had her head pressed to the left side of my chest, while Alisa was nestled into the crease of my arm with her head resting close to the crook of my neck.

"Roza my love!" …."Look at me…. please?" I said trying to lift her head to look at me with the arm holding her. She finally looked up with tears in her eyes. "I could never be angry or upset with you. It's you who should be angry or upset with me. I have missed out on so much and I wasn't there for you when you needed me….I"…I was chocking up as I was trying to explain to her and I found it hard to get the words out.

"I let you down" A tear fell down my cheek and Roza wiped it away with her thumb, she just stared into my eyes never taking them away from me as I explained. "I made a promise along time ago to protect you and I broke that promise and I will never forgive myself for that. What happened the night the I am assuming we conceived our children then." She just nodded. "I would like to talk to you about that in private, because I feel like that is a conversation too personal and too intimate to discuss in front of anyone else." Roza also agreed with that.

Before I had a chance to say anything else Alisa started to stir and cry, it wasn't a loud cry. But I think she is probably hungry and in need of a changing. As Roza squeezed her nappy to check and confirmed that she did infact need a change.

"Shh! My little angel!" I said to her in Russian. As I kissed her little head gently, her little baby cry was so small, she definitely is a new born baby. I still haven't asked how old that babies are and where they were born. I will have to asked Roza later, but you can tell that she is only a few weeks old.

*("I am not doing any Russian words or translating in this story. I can't be bothered. Besides I tried to find it and I couldn't.")*(So I will just indicate when Russian is being said.)*

"Well Daddy!..."Get to work then, your daughter is hungry and needs her diaper changed?"

"I have no problem with that Roza, I would love to!"… "I'll have you know that I changed a lot of Paul's diapers when he was a baby and prepared a lot of bottles as well." But something tells me that Roza is going to breast feed. Should I leave the room when she does it? or will I offend her if I do? I will just wait and see and if she wants to feed in private then I will respect that. But there is no way in hell that Guardian Kingston is getting a look at my woman's breasts. NO WAY IN HELL!

"I'm just going to go and wash my hands" "Are you able to take Alisa for me while I do that Roza?"

"Here pass her to me and I will lay her out on the baby change mat while you do that." I slowly handed her to her mother and the way Roza grabs her, she is a natural, she is so gentle and so maternal. She even gives Alisa a kiss before she lays her down as Babushka puts the mat down for Roza.

Alisa just did a star jump while I passed her to Roza and she let out a little cry, baby's at that age usually do that, they fling their arms up in the air like they are trying to grab onto something it usually startles them. That's why Roza kissed Alisa and put her face near her, it lets her know that Mummy is near and not to be scared.

I quickly hurried off not before taking one last look at my daughter and Roza before I left…I suddenly feel panicked to be parted from Alisa and the sooner I get back the better. It will be the quickest I have ever washed my hands in my life.

As I am washing my hands in the kitchen Alisa is screaming her head off, she is so loud. I'm freaking out. I quickly finish up and head back into the lounge room. As I walked back in, Roza has Alisa in her arms and Alisa is thrashing around in them just like she did when Babushka had her. Rose looks panicked and there are tears in her eyes.

I quickly move across the room to Roza and hold my arms out for Alisa to see if I can calm her down. She is going to be hell to change when she is distraught like that. Roza doesn't hesitate and passes her to me and straight away Alisa stops screaming, she is still a little upset, but I rock her and sing her a Russian Lullaby that my grandmother knows, I have my lips on her cheek, my face close to her as I sing her the song and she starts to calm down.

I move my face away from her and look to check on her and she is looking at me, she finally has her eyes open as when she was string and letting out a cry before her eyes were still closed. But know they are open and they are 'MY EYES' but she looks so much like my Roza, I can see a little bit of me in her features, but more Roza.

I start to talk to her in Russian "That's it baby girl!" "Daddy's here now….Shh…are you going to be a good little girl while Daddy changes your diaper…Yes that's right Daddy's talking to you, my sweet little angel." Alisa greets me with a gummy smile and I let out a little chuckle, Roza races over to see what I am laughing at, as she was sitting next to Babushka while Babushka was calming Roza down for being upset when Alisa was crying.

And to my shock Roza sees Alisa smiling at me and chuckles herself and says in fluent Russian. "Is that a smile for Daddy?" Do you have one for Mummy too?" "My baby girl!" Alisa gives Roza a smile a gummy smile and Roza kisses her cheeks one at a time.

"Roza!"…" You just spoke Russian…since when?"

"Yes Dimitri".. I am fluent in Russian now, Babushka and your family have been teaching me for sometime and it wasn't as hard as I thought. I'm hoping that the children will be fluent in both Russian and English when they are older." I couldn't believe, she shocks me every time. Boy has a lot of things changed. I never thought that Roza had the patience to learn another language; I guess she proved me wrong. I wonder if there are anymore surprises.

As I laid Alisa down on the change mat and changed her Roza told me to fold the top flap of the nappy down, so it wasn't covering her navel as it was still healing. Roza said the cord stump fell off last week and it need to breathe so it doesn't get infected and then after I did that, Roza passed me a baby cleanser to clean it as there was a bit of blood there. I tucked Alisa's legs into the on piece and buttoned her up. She was kicking her legs and started to stir for a feed. Now that she was nice and clean, she was hungry.

"Roza?" Babushka called out getting Roza's attention.

"Yes Babushka?" Roza replied. I'm still not used to hearing Roza call my grandmother that. It sounds wonderful and my grandmother seems to love her very much. I have always dreamed of my family welcoming my Roza and I am glad they have been there for her when I wasn't.

"I left what was left of the bottles that you made up with Olena for Jacob. I figured that you could breast feed Alisa while you were here. Jacob was asleep when I left still and Alisa was not in the mood to feed, I could not calm her down to feed her. That's why I came, she needed her Papa and she wouldn't stop crying till she was in his arms."

Rose made herself comfortable on the couch ready to breast feed Alisa. I had asked Roza if she wanted me to leave. Babushka snorted and Roza said it's not the first time you have seen my breasts. I blushed when she said that, I knew I had because I felt flushed and Roza was smirking at me from my embarrassment. I had turned around to Guardian Kingston and asked him if he could possibly go and get Guardian Petrov for me and bring her back to my apartment. I could have called her but I didn't want Guardian Kingston watching Roza feed. Trust me there will be no male looking at her breasts but me and even now I was getting excited thinking about it.

Roza didn't question me, I think she knew why I was sending him away and Guardian Kingston seemed relieved. I wandered what he does and where he is when Roza fed them before. I will kill him if he has seen her feed. Roza sensed somehow what I was thinking and as I went to sit next to her, she whispered in my ear and said she usually feeds the babies in her room and the Guardians are either down stairs in the living room or in their cabin out the back of the house. I was instantly relived.

Roza suddenly whipped her breast out and my eyes had a hard attack. My grandmother got up and said she would fix us some hot chocolates, she said she would be fine finding what she needs so I left her to it But not once did I look at her. I was too busy drooling and looking or should I say ogling Rose massive breast SHIT THEIR HUGE! My cock suddenly started to harden and I went to cross my legs which I found painful, so they were only half crossed as I had a bolder growing in my pants ready to explode…it was a firkin dangerous weapon at the moment. It times like this that I want to grab a scatter cushion, but I think that Roza would suss me out on that move and then I would be totally humiliated.

"Comrade?" Roza called me out of my drooling fantasy of ripping her clothes off and sucking on her breast and slamming my hard member into her. I was breathing heavy and I think I was close to having a heart attack or blowing my load one or the other can't be good. OH SCREW ME! Yes and I do mean literally.

" Ye..s… Ro..za!" all of a sudden Roza hand was on my hard member. Shit this is so inappropriate to do this with the baby feeding. It's not right.

"Comrade!…are you going to react like this every time I feed the babies? As much as I am flattered by your reaction to having my breast out and exposed to you, I am feeding our daughter and that is somewhat uncomfortable to see her father get turned on by that and what about if Babushka comes back?"

"I am so sorry Roza and I am NOT turned on by you feeding Alisa." I can't believe she would say that, it makes me sound like a deviate. "I am turned on by your exposed breast my Roza" I tell her whispering in her ear and she shivered and gasped when I did that. NOW LOOK WHOS TURNED ON NOW I THOUGHT! HA! I bet she is so wet I could just slide in her pussy without any problems.

"I'm sorry Dimitri that was wrong for me to suggest such a thing. But I have to ask…when was the last time you had ….you know." She asked blushing so badly, I thought she looked adorable, I can't believe she gets shy asking me that and yet she has her breast out and that didn't seem to bother her when she flopped it out and my eyes exploded.

"You!" I answer her. She looked at me shocked.

"Why are you so shocked Roza?"

"Well because ….you know. You were about to marry Tasha and I thought since she was your fiancé that you had had ….sex."

"Roza!...you heard me at the church, well I'm sure you and the entire church heard. It wasn't like that with Tasha and I. She was just a friend and nothing else. I was having a hard time being excepted back to being a Guardian again and Tasha had told me that she couldn't have any children and she had to adopt. And the only way that she could adopt was to be married and in my case she thought that being an Ex-Strigoi married to a Royal would send a message that I could be trusted." Rose was just sitting there she flinched every now and then, especially about the bit about Tasha not being able to have kids.

"Why would you do that Dimitri if you didn't love her? You were prepared to be a father to a child that wasn't yours and be married to a woman you didn't love?"

"I don't know Roza…it all seemed to make sense at the time, I was under so much pressure. I just wasn't myself and when Tasha had suggested it, I thought she was a close friend and I felt bad that she couldn't have kids and she was willing to sacrifice her reputation in order to marry me when she already had the Moroi treating her badly from what her brother and sister-inlaw did. But she said she didn't care what other people thought to hell with them. We were going to file for divorce due to irreconcilable differences and I was going to go back to Russia with my Guardian statis and she would have her baby by the time the divorce came through."

"Did you ever talk to Alberta?" Roza asked.

"No,…I really didn't think of it when I had agreed to Tasha's plan until later and by then it was too late, Alberta said that there wouldn't of been a problem. That most of it was rumours and the Royals respected my sacrifice and thought that it was a miracle that such a well respected Guardian was given a second chance.

But I couldn't say no to Tasha, I had promised her and she was so excited about having a baby. I still wonder if it is true about her not being able to have a child or if she took me for a fool. I knew about her feelings for me and I had told her that I couldn't return them on several occasions. But that's not important now, the friendship is over and all that matters is you and my children."

I looked into her eyes and she had so much love and understanding in them and a tear fell down her cheek, I leaned forward and kissed it off her cheek, I pulled away and looked into her eyes. Just as I was about to lean in and kiss her lips as she was leaning into meet mine. Babushka walks in with the hot chocolates and Roza pulls away.

Alisa had fallen asleep on Roza's breast and she handed her to me to burp while she fixed her top. I grabbed my beautiful baby girl, she arched her little body back as I was grabbing her and stretched and did a little star jump.

Just before she was about to cry I pressed her to my shoulder nice and close with the back of her head touching my neck and her face leaned away from me, while a softly burped her. She finally burped while I was patting her back and then I leaned back into the couch to get comfortable.

Alberta had finally turned up with Guardian Kingston. She was so happy to see Rose and she congratulated us on the babies and told us to bring Jacob to her office next time so she could meet him. I had told her that I hadn't even met my son yet. To that Roza squeezed my hand and said soon and Babushka said he was a spitting image as me "He looks just like his Papa" she said. That made me so proud and I yearned to see him… soon. Our little family was not complete with out our son. But I knew he was in good hands at the moment with momma looking after him and Guardian Borovski.

Roza had asked Alberta if there was any work available as she wanted to start as soon she has the babies fully weaned to the bottle which shouldn't be a problem as they took both breast and bottle at the moment. Alberta said that Roza could alternate shifts with Eddie and I as there had been an influx of enrolments for combat …both Moroi and Damphir.

She wished us well and said that she would be fine to get back to the office as Guardian Kingston had offered to escort her. I didn't miss the blush on both their faces when Alberta had told him that she may be a woman but she was more than capable of taking down a Strigoi the size of him and I didn't miss her looking between his crouch when she said that.

That's disturbing; Roza had noticed too, the reason why she was suddenly chocking on her hot chocolate and I was patting her back trying to hold back a laugh myself. Alberta asked if Roza was alright and I assured her she was fine, she just drank her hot chocolate too quickly. Alberta was relieved and left with Guardian Kingston walking her to the door.

"Dimka!... I think its time to meet your son, when we get to Roza's I will explain to you why your daughter is so clingy to you and I am afraid that you will have to sit in the back seat with her. Otherwise she will be screaming all the way home." That I didn't understand, but I wasn't about to question her. I saw the way Alisa reacted when I had left the room and how she calmed when I held her.

Guardian Kingston returned and we told him that we were going to head to Roza's . I had Alisa in my arms and he offered to put her in her car seat. But Babushka said NO quite loudly and nearly startled Alisa, thank god one ear was pressed to my neck and I was able to cover her other ear in time. "She must be with her Papa." she said "Otherwise she will scream if you take her form him." I kissed my angels cheek and headed out to the car.

Off we go to meet my son for the first time and the rest of my family, I was excited to meet my little boy and nervous about seeing the rest of my family. Babushka just patted my arm and Roza sat in the back of the car with me and Alisa while Kingston drove and Babushka was shotgun.
