The VA gang is back and all grown up! Lissa's pregnant, Rose and Dimitri are getting married, and Christian's using his fire to stir up trouble in the Moroi Court. Our famous crew is joining together to battle the war of adulthood, plus a few other monsters; like the creatures stalking Rose and Dimitri. They'll use all their strengths and weaknesses in this new adventure as they learn, once again, the meaning of the Guardian mantra: They come first. DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the original characters. All the credit goes to the fabulous Richelle Mead for the Vampire Academy world and its glory.

To Be a Belikov - Book #3 of Vampire Academy Fanfiction After returning from yet another mission in service to the Queen years ago, Rose, Dimitri, and Annessa fell into a pattern. They're comfortable now, enjoying their life as a family in the crazy world of vampires and monsters, and they're impossibly happy, something Rose never believed would happen. It's ballet lessons and morning runs and a husband home for dinner every night; they became the cookie-cutter family Guardians could only dream about. One phone call breaks the monotony, making the Belikovs re-evaluate all of their lives as Rose is given a chance to serve again rather than staying home with her daughter. It's a roller coaster of tough decisions, young heartbreak, and the undying love between two Dhampirs who are still beating all the odds. Disclaimer - I do not own any of the original Vampire Academy characters, locations, or plots/themes; all credit for those goes to the fabulous Richelle Mead. None of this would be possible without her great work, and she deserves the acknowledgement for it!

Dimitri survived the caves. Their secret is revealed. How are their lives changed?

I know I'm evil and cliché. Dimitri leaves Rose for Tasha after the cabin and attack, but that's not all he leaves behind... she's not the only Who he leaves behind. Four years later it's time for a wedding. What's a wedding when served without a side dish of guilt, second thoughts & potential cold feet, drama and jealousy???

Dimitri survived the rescue but got transferred. Will Rose handle it? Will Dimitri? And what happens when an American student moves to Russia and lands the hot battle god as her mentor? Will sparks fly?

Dimitri wasn't assigned to Ivan. Janine didn't take Rose away from Abe. So Rose is a child with a target on her head. Can a newly graduated Dimitri look after our demanding, stubborn, full-of-attitude, cunning mini-mobster? How will our favourite Guardian and Novice survive the fallout from the Dragomir crash? And what about when Rose fully embraces being Zmeyette to do whatever it takes to protect her best friend and charge? Our favourite ship has set sail, but is it fully equipped to weather everything that the maiden sea voyage called Life And Love has in store? Rose and Dimitri sure hope so. Others are determined to prove the ship called Romitri is completely ill-equipped. But some are willing to support Romitri's adventure in any way they can, and they may just be our favourite pair of protectors' life savers.

***DESCRIPTION HAS BEEN EDITED*** Two different lives living in one world. Two senior students in the same school. Who knew a game of truth or dare could change two lives forever? A dare was purposed to a teenage boy named Dimitri Belikov. Dimitri lived in a world of business, fame, and upper classed social life. His future already planned out for him. He never dreamed his own dreams for he saw no purpose in dreaming. Why dream when everything has already been planned out for you? But on the other side of St. Vladimir's Academy, there lived a girl who dreamed deeper than the ocean and higher than the stars. Her name was Rose Hathaway. She lived in a world of abuse, pain, and sleepless nights. But because of that, she dreamed of freeing herself by doing what she loved the most. She wanted to become a singer. These two worlds were the opposite of each other. It was hard to believe that only one game of truth or dare could collide the two worlds together.

Rose finds out she's pregnant, but she didn't cheat on Dimitri. It's his child. Everyone is wondering how this is happening, because dhampirs can't reproduce. How is this happening? Will they ever find out and how is Rose going to be a teen mother and a guardian?
