The way that it should have been

Chapter 20

I heard feet start pounding on the stairs, so I pulled myself up in bed.

"This is why we slept in pajamas Roza." I whispered just before my bedroom door came crashing in.

"Dimka!!!"

With the way that Roza was laying in the bed no one could see her. But I could see the smile on my babushkin face and in her eyes, as she glanced down to where Roza's moya head was. (grandmother's, my)

My little sestra, niece and nephew all landed in my bed. Thankfully, it was Zoya and not Vika that landed on top of Roza moya. Because Vika could have very easily broken lyubov' moya if she had landed on her wrong. (sister, my, my love)

"Ooof." Roza grunted in surprise as my niece landed in her stomach.

My family all jumped back and squealed in shock, well everyone but Zoya and babushka that is. Zoya leaned up and peeled the bed clothes away from Roza's moya face. (grandmother, my)

"Ohhh, she pretty Unci Dimka." Zoya said with a gaped tooth angelic little smile she had obviously not grown in all of her teeth yet. But she had grown quite a bit since I had last been able to see her because she was only a few weeks old when I left the last time. And if it weren't for skype, she wouldn't have a clue as to who I am.

"Why thank you, princess pretty girl." Roza moya giggled and so did my niece. (my)

Paul walked over and peeped over Zoya's shoulder at Roza moya. Looking back at me he asked, "who is she Uncle Dimka?" (my)

"This, my dear nephew, is my soul mate and girlfriend and also your Auntie Roza."

Roza still held Zoya in her arms as she scooted up in bed. As soon as she was settled in Paul jumped into her lap too. But since she was sitting cross legged with Zoya in her lap, he wound up being half on Roza's leg and half on mine.

"It's nice to meet you Auntie Roza."

"Why thank you Paul, it's wonderful for me to meet you too. You are such a perfect little gentleman; I think that you must get that from your Uncle Mitya."

Paul actually blushed at Roza's moya praise. (my)

"Who is this Dimka?!" My sestra Sonja asked not at all politely. She even sounded a little vicious, accusatory and hostile. And I did not appreciate it at all. (sister)

"Well, as I just told Paul, if you had been paying attention, this is Roza moya and your newest sestra Sonja." (my, sister)

"You've just met her, and you are declaring her as our sestra already?! I don't think so Dimka!!" She said in a huff as she folded her arms over her chest. (sister)

"Sonja don't push me; we've only had a few hours of sleep. And I haven't just met her I have known her for months!!! And I love her, so you had better just get used to it. What is wrong with you?!!"

Roza lay her hand on my chest "Mitya, please calm down my love. Look at her..." She cut her eyes to Sonja.

"She's pregnant. And you know that is going to affect her hormones, mood and temperament. Give her some time... please... for me?"

I calmed as I saw what Roza moya was talking about. Although I wasn't thrilled with the knowledge of my sestra being pregnant and possibly not in a long term, committed and stable relationship. (my, sister)

But I wasn't going to say anything about it right now, simply because I didn't know her situation or the circumstances behind it yet. But that did not mean that I was not going to be getting to the bottom of it before Roza and I left here in two weeks.
