Dimitri's Promise

Chapter 7

Dimitri groaned as he felt Rosalie get up out of the bed, he opened his eyes to see it was still dark out. The sound of their son crying reached his ears, he immediately got up and wrapped his arms around her waist.

"What do you think you're doing?" He whispered.

She chuckled, "Getting out son, silly. He's crying and-

"And I told you I would take care of him when he's crying."

She frowned and looked at him, even in the dark she could tell he was tired. More tired than her.

"You've already been up three times tonight though." She argued.

He raised an eyebrow, "I thought you wanted me to start helping?"

"Yes, but that doesn't mean deprive yourself of sleep." She mumbled into his chest as he hugged her.

"For the past few nights you've been doing it by yourself. It's my turn. Now, go back to sleep." He whispered, kissing her on the head.

Rosalie sighed in defeat and crawled back into bed, Dimitri made sure she was sleeping before he left. He walked into Elijah's room and smiled.

"Shhhh." He cooed as he picked his son up.

The baby cried for a little while longer until he looked up at his father. Dimitri placed a gentle kiss on his forehead.

"Not used to seeing me get you, huh?" He chuckled.

The baby made a sound, Dimitri only continued to smile. He tilted his head.

"No fair, you have your mother's nose. Traitor." He pouted.

Rosalie chuckled as she walked in, "Yes, but he has your name and all your other features. Well, his skin color is like mine."

Dimitri chuckled, "I thought I told you to sleep?"

"Well, watching the adorable scene of a father and son is better." She smiled.

She sighed and kissed him on the lips, "You know I love you, right?"

He nodded, "Of course and I love you too."

Once the baby was sleeping again they crawled into their bed and cuddled against each other. Rosalie smiled as Dimitri wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close.

Rosalie got up at six and sneaked out of the room when her son started crying. She sat down in the rocking chair and nursed him, whispering nothing but love at him.

The next day Rosalie woke up to an empty bed. She sighed as she  got up and did her normal morning routine. She frowned when Dimitri walked in looking extremely tired.

"You should take a nap. What time is it anyway?" She asked.

He yawned, "One in the afternoon, you slept for a while."

"Oh...where's Elijah?"

"My mom and Catherine have him,  I'm pretty sure he's hungry though."

"I would assume so."

Rosalie walked downstairs to see her son crying as Harper searched the fridge.

"Dimitri, is she still breastfeeding him?"

Rosalie chuckled, "I am."

Harper stood up and smiled, she walked over and handed him to her.

"So, heard you and my son got into a small fight?" She questioned.

Rosalie sighed as she sat down and began feeding her son. "Yeah, it was over something completely stupid."

"Well, that's Demetrius for you. Always starting arguments over the smallest of things. Christine knew that and would constantly try to piss him off. I hate that mutt." Harper growled.
