Chapter 24: Chapter 24

A few days have passed since the birth of their son and Dimitri couldn't be happier. However, he was nervous since tomorrow was Thursday. He was pacing the room, trying to decide on how to tell this to Rosalie. He knows she won't attack him, but he knows how she is when she freaks out. She'll make some squeaking noise before passing out. He bit his lip and finally decided on just winging it, but he would make sure she wasn't holding the baby. He sighed and walked out of his office, following Rosalie's scent until he found her sitting in the family room.

She was eating a sandwich while talking to Catherine, Felicity, and Rachel. He awkwardly cleared his throat, shifting a little on his feet. His mate snapped her head up, almost immediately her eyes lit up and a beautiful smile appeared on her face. She gently handed her son over to an eager Catherine before running over and kissing him.

He chuckled, "Missed me already?"

"Well, you didn't sleep in the bed last night because you decided to do patrols with Xavier." she grumbled, feigning hurt.

He raised an eyebrow before kissing her once again, "I'm sorry."

"Never do that again unless I can come with you. That way, I can help protect you."

"Yes, Luna."

She scowled at him as he smiled innocently at her, he knew it bothered her when people called her luna. She liked it better when they called her Rose or Rosalie. Except with him she liked it when he called her baby girl and not luna. It made her feel as if he was below her and she didn't like that one bit. She had dealt with being called alpha her whole life when all she wanted was to be called her nickname or full name. She was thankful when her new family had called her by her name and not by her title, even when they found out she was an alpha.

"I have to speak with you, in private." he stated, suddenly seeming nervous.

The other women gave him a curious look as Rosalie asked if they could watch Elijah for a few minutes. Catherine nodded, Rosalie thanked her before following Dimitri back to his office. Once the doors were closed he took a deep breath.

"My parents are coming tomorrow afternoon." he stated, preparing himself for her to freak out.

Her eyes widened and her face paled, but she didn't make a sound nor did she pass out. Instead, she walked over to him and smacked him on the back of the head.

"Ow! What was that for!?" he groaned.

She put her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes, and at that moment, he knew he was in trouble. "What was that for? You tell me the day before that your parents are coming! I've never met them! And do they even know about us?" she fumed.

He gulped before laughing nervously, "Well, now they do..."

Another smack.

"Damn it, woman, stop it!" he whined.

She rolled her eyes, "Oh, stop acting like a baby."

He continued to scowl at her as he rubbed the back of his head, but Rosalie wasn't having it. Instead, she walked around and stole his stash of reese's. His eyes widened as she smirked and shoved one in her mouth, he growled and lunged at her. She laughed as she sidestepped him, causing the alpha to slide across the desk and fall onto the ground. Along with all his papers, the phone, the stapler, the laptop, and pens.

He winced as he slowly sat up and rubbed his shoulder, guilt formed in her chest as she saw the pained look in his eyes. She sighed and placed the chocolate down before kneeling beside him.

"You okay?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.

He nodded, "Yeah."

"Good, you're stupid for lunging at me. You know how fast I can be." she scolded.

He rolled his eyes, but smiled at her anyways. He leaned in, placing his lips on her's, he kissed her with passion. She responded by a small moan, but he knew he had to hold himself back. They made out for a few more minutes until Rosalie mumbled about needing to get back to the baby.

"We're going to try having him sleep in his room tonight, right?" he whispered against her neck as he sucked and kissed it.

She nodded, "Y-yes."

"Good, because I want you...badly."

"I know."

After their heated moment in his office they fixed themselves up and left, he quickly walked up to their room. Ranting about needing to take a cold shower as Rosalie walked into the family room with a smirk. The women raised their eyebrows, curious as to what she had just done. She sighed as she sat down, she carefully took her son back.

"I love teasing him." was her only explanation.

"Honey, calm down." Dimitri said, trying to soothe his mate.

She spun around with narrowed eyes, "Don't you dare tell me to

calm down! I'm a raging she-wolf."

He raised his eyebrow and just stared at her, she sighed. "Asshole." She mumbled.

He chuckled before wrapping his arms around her waist and pulling her close. He kissed her gently on the temple, causing his beautiful mate to smile. He loved it when she smiled, he'd do anything in the world to see her smile every single moment.

Their moment was ended when the front door suddenly burst open, revealing a very angry looking woman. Once her eyes landed on the slightly scared alpha she stormed inside.

"Demetrius Xander Black!" The woman growled. "You are in so much trouble!"

Rosalie glared at him, "Your name is Demetrius?"

Dimitri laughed nervously, "Well yeah...I just don't like when people call me by it so I switched it to Dimitri. It was always my nickname so-

"Ha! I did name the baby after you!" She grinned, a triumphant gleam in her eyes.

Dimitri gaped at her before the other woman grabbed him by the ear and forced him to look at her. He once again had a nervous look on his face as he came face to face with her.

"You almost gave me a heart attack! You don't tell me anything anymore!" She seethed.

Rosalie watched with amusement before a tall man walked through, sighing in relief as he dumped all the suitcases. He looked up and frowned at her, his eyes holding a curious look.

"Demetrius, who's th-

"Dimitri." He stated.

The man frowned, "Dimitri? The girl's name is Dimitri? So...there's now-

"No! I don't like being called Demetrius, only Dimitri." He stated. "Oh, and that's my mate, Rosalie."

Both snapped their eyes to her, smiles appeared on their faces before she was engulfed in a hug. Once she was able to break free the woman studied her.

"Way prettier than that bitch. You killed her, right?" The woman demanded.

Dimitri quickly nodded, "Her body was burned as well."

"Awe, should have burned her alive." The man grumbled.

The woman sighed, "What the hell did I tell you about being sadistic? Huh?"

"But she-ow!"

"No, no more sadistic thoughts! That's my job!"

Rosalie gave Dimitri a confused glance, he just shrugged as he continued to watch the couple with amusement. The woman finally sighed and focused on Rosalie again.

"My name is Harper Black, Demetrius' mother." She smiled. "And this dumbass's wife."

The man scowled at her before looking at Rosalie. "I'm Maddox."

"I'm Maddox. Couldn't you be any less weird? Like, gee, say hello for a change?" Harper sighed.

Maddox pinched the bridge of his nose, "You are going to be the death of me."

"Damn straight! If you don't start acting less of a robot then I'll personally strangle you." Harper replied.

Maddox raised an eyebrow at her and rolled his eyes, he then looked at his son. "I'm assuming your pack is in top shape?"

Dimitri nodded, "Yes, sir."

"I'm your father, not alpha. You can call me dad."

"But you said-

"I know what I said, but your mother has been forcing me to go to therapy. I realized my mistakes with raising you, so, I'm going to try to be a better father." Maddox explained.

Dimitri just nodded, having nothing else to say. Rosalie awkwardly looked around, not knowing what to do. She bolted up the stairs when her baby started crying, leaving them behind.

She burst into the room and picked him up, smiling at him. She calmed down, talking softly to him. She then turned and walked downstairs, chuckling when he made his usual baby sounds.

The second Harper spotted her grandson she shrieked and ran up to Rosalie. The new Luna laughed before handing him to her, knowing she's going to want to hold her grandson.

"About time we have another male in this family." Maddox grinned as he walked up.

"Excuse me? We aren't good enough? Well, let me tell you, I will be a perfect al-

"Sage!" Dimitri barked. "Stop it."

Sage rolled her eyes, "He can lose his temper all he wants. But I'm going to be the best damn alpha anyone has ever see." She stated with confidence.

Maddox sighed, "Well, you sure have the ego for it."

"Maddox Xavier Black, stop being a dickhead." Harper growled.

"She started it!" He whined, pointing towards the smirking Sage.

Harper raised an eyebrow, "I can see where Damon gets his childish attitude from." she mumbled.

"Speaking of him, where is he? Is he okay? He's no longer on drugs, right? He hasn't tried any-

"Whoa! Dad, relax. He's fine, he actually found his mate." Dimitri told them.

Maddox sighed in relief, "Thank god."

"Now, where are our rooms? Oh, I'm kidnapping your son for the night." Harper stated as she started walking upstairs.

Maddox followed after her, dragging the multiple suitcases with him. Rosalie watched them with her mouth hanging open. Dimitri walked over and gently closed it with a smirk.

"You'll get used to it." He whispered before scurrying after his parents.
