Six Days Later (New Year's Eve)

I kiss Ivan's forehead and hold him close as I stand in front of his spare crib in my parents' house. Dimitri hugs me from behind and kisses Ivan's cheek.

"You're parents have kept him over night before," he says, chuckling at how overly attached I am to our son.

"That's not the point. I feel like we're keeping them from having fun tonight," I tell him, sighing. My mom walks into the room and takes Ivan from me.

"We have gone to so many New Year's parties and frankly, I'm sick of them. Go have fun with your friends," she demands. Baba walks into the room.

"Listen to your mother for once, would you?" he asks, smirking. I nod and leave the house with Dimitri to go to Christian and Lissa's place. Dimitri squeezes my hand, sensing my worry.

"You aren't a bad mother for doing things with your friends," he says quietly, "Your parents take good care of him." I sigh as we pull up outside Lissa's large house. Dimitri cuts the engine and runs around to get my door. I take his hand and let him help me out.

"I know," I state, "It just feels weird." Dimitri reels me into his side and wraps his arms around my waist. He brings his lips to my ear.

"Have I told you how sexy you look tonight?" he mutters in my ear huskily. I shiver slightly and kiss his cheek.

"Thank you, baby," I say, looking down at my little black dress, thinking I won't get to wear it much longer, "You don't look so bad yourself." He kisses me and we walk to the door, his arm around my shoulders and mine around his waist. We don't even bother ringing the bell, instead just walking right in.

"Rose! Dimitri!" Lissa exclaims happily, throwing her arms around the two of us. I laugh and hug her back.

"What has you so excited?" I ask, still laughing. She lifts her left hand up to show me a large sparkling diamond. I squeal and squeeze her tight.

"Congratulations baby!" I scream, making Dimitri and Lissa laugh. She drags us into the living room, which is packed.

"Geez, Lissa, how many people did you invite?" Dimitri asks, shocked.

"Close to two hundred but that's not the point of tonight," she says, brushing it off, "Have some wine and go mingle." She hands Dimitri and I both glasses.

"Uhh, Liss, I think I'm just going to have water tonight," I tell her, looking at my feet. Lissa gasps and Dimitri grins, both knowing the only time I ever refused a glass of wine was when I was pregnant with Ivan. Dimitri picks me up and kisses me. Once he puts me down, Lissa tackles me in a bear hug.

"Oh my god!" Lissa shrieks, "I'm so excited! I hope you have a girl now too! Ivan will make such a good big brother! I have to go make sure everything runs smoothly but I'll catch up with you two later." She disappears into the crowd and I turn to Dimitri, who is still grinning from ear to ear.

"Don't be so proud of yourself," I tease, smacking his arm. He takes my hand and we walk into the crowd together. I spot Eddie and Jill making out in a corner so I hit Eddie on the back of the head. They break apart and Eddie hugs me, followed by Jill.

"Hey, guys," Eddie greets us, "Did you know Lissa knew this many people?"

"It's Lissa, the girl who gets along with everyone," I state as though it should be obvious, "Of course she knows this many people."

"Rose?" Jill asks, raising an eyebrow, "Are you pregnant?" I throw my hands up in exasperation.

"What? I can't just want to stay sober?" I exclaim, a little offended that my friends can read me so easily.

"Sorry, Rosie but we all know it's true," Eddie adds in defense of his girlfriend, "Congratulations are in order for you guys and Liss and Chris." I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn to see Mason, Mia, Adrian, Sydney, and Christian standing there.

"Give me an extra hug for the baby," Mason teases, earning him a punch on the arm from me.

"Careful, Ashford, she's even feistier when she's pregnant," Adrian says grinning. I narrow my eyes at him.

"Oh, leave her alone," Mia says.

"Yeah, we want to steal her to help pick baby names," Sydney adds, grabbing one of my hands. Mia takes the other and Jill links her arm through Syd's. They drag me away and we find Lissa.

"Okay so if it's a girl, you should totally name her after yours truly," Mia states dramatically, pointing to herself. I groan.

"Don't you guys think I should be talking with Dimitri about this?" I ask, slightly annoyed. Dimitri wraps his arms around me from behind. I know it's him because of his aftershave. I lean back into him.

"I'm inclined to agree with my wife," he says and I can hear the smile in his voice, "And I'd also like to steal her for this dance." I grin as I hear the song that's playing. It's our song, When Your Gone by Avril Lavinge. We walk onto the dance floor Lissa set up in the middle of the room and he pulls me close. I lay my head on his chest and we sway back and forth together, neither of us really knowing how to dance.

"I love you, Roza," he whispers as the song ends. I kiss him fiercely.

"I love you, Dimitri," I reply. I hear someone clinking a glass with a knife. I turn to see Lissa standing in the front of the room with Christian by her side.

"There are thirty seconds left everyone!" she shouts, excitedly, "Get ready to countdown!" Christian turns on the large flat screen TV to the correct channel.

"Ten…nine…eight…seven…six…five…four…three…two…one!" everyone in the room yells, "Happy New Year!" Dimitri pulls me him so my back is against the front of his body. He tilts my head up and leans down, kissing me gently while rubbing his thumb over my stomach. I smile and continue to kiss my perfect husband. The only thing that would make this night better would be if Ivan was here.
