Chapter 1

It's been 4 months since Dimitri left me to guard Tasha, 4 months since I found out I was pregnant with his child, and 4 months since I became assigned Lissa's guardian. Well after I give birth and recovered then I would officially be guarding Lissa but until then Eddie is in my place. The doctor said it was because I was shadow kissed. I remembered the day he told me he was leaving.

Flashback

I woke to the sun setting through the window. I blinked a few times and realized I wasn't in my room. I sat up and then last night came flooding back. I turned to find Dimitri gone and a note in his place instead. I opened it and it read:

Dear Rose,

There was a guardian meeting and you looked so peaceful sleeping so I didn't want to wake you. I'll see you at practice.

Love,

Comrade

I quickly got up and dressed and made my way to my room without being seen. I went to take a shower and got dressed. When I arrived at the gym I heard voices. Tasha's and Dimitri's to be exact. I opened the door and went in. I saw Tasha clinging on to Dimitri's arm. Dimitri turned and looked at me.

"We don't have practice today. I've decided to be Tasha's guardian. It's for the best." then he walked away with Tasha following happily.

End of Flashback

It's a week until Christmas. I always spend Christmas with Lissa and Christian. I was always happy to until now. Yesterday she told me at the last-minute that Tasha was coming for Christmas this year. We all knew what that meant. Dimitri would be here. Lissa found out about our relationship a long time ago but waited until I told her, so now she understands. I remembered when she told me yesterday. She was so nervous I could feel it through the bond.

Flashback

I was in the kitchen of my house in court. We lived in a gated and warded community next to court. I lived right next door to Lissa and Christian. I was washing my plate when my cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Rose can you come over for a second?"

"Yeah sure. Is something wrong?"

"Umm…. I think I'll tell you when you get here."

"Okay. I'll be there in a minute."

I quickly dried my hands and grabbed my keys and left the house. Christian opened the door with a nervous look on his face.

"Come on in Rosie. She's in the living room." I glared at him when he called me Rosie because he knew I didn't like it.

"Thanks Firepixie" I smirked when he narrowed his eyes at me.

I sat on the couch and look at Lissa.

"Why are you so nervous? What's going on?"

"I swear I didn't know until this morning." I looked at her confused

"Do you promise to stay calm?" I nodded again wondering what was going on.

"Tasha is going to spend Christmas with us." That meant I would see Dimitri.

I sighed

"I guess there's no way around it. She was bound to come to visit her nephew sooner or later."

"We were also offered jobs at St. Vlads."

"So I guess were moving then."

"Tasha was offered the same and is going to live there with us."

"Great," I said sarcastically, "Not only is she spending Christmas with us she's also going to work with us and live with us."

"I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do."

"When are we leaving?"

"Tomorrow. Christian and I will help you pack because of your condition."

"What about my doctor's appointment tomorrow?"

"I called and transferred it to Doctor Olendzki"

"Thanks Liss"
