Charlotte - 

Now that I have reached my full term of this pregnancy I feel that I am going to pop. 

Me and Nikolai have been choosing names for the baby. I thought Sam would be good, but Nikolai didn't like that so much. He chose Oleg for a name, and that was a flat no from me. 

Poor dude, you are not even born yet and your parents can not give you a name. 

We made sure the nursery was put up, and we got everything we needed for the new arrival. After leaving the nursery I was walking downstairs until I freaked peep myself, this is so embarrassing. I was going back up the stairs until it clicked into my brain that I did not peed, but my water broke.

Oh shit. 

I was going to go to the room but Nikolai was coming out of his office when he saw me. He leaned in and kissed me, putting his hands on my stomach leaning in to kiss our son. He noticed the discomfort on my face, he thought the little bug was kicking too much but I told Nikolai that my water broke. 

I think I shocked him a lot but he went to pack a few things and he put them into the car and came back to get me. He took me to the hospital. We were checked into a room where later, it took me 14 hours to deliver our son. 

He weighs 6 pounds and has a lot of black hair like his dad. He is so small, my baby boy. I am a mother. When all the doctors left it was just me, Nikolai and our son. We gave him the name Dimitri. I have a family. I spent a few days at the hospital, Nikolai went back and forth to the hospital and home. The men in a part of the house wanted to see the little baby, I made sure they all got their turn. It's funny seeing these huge ass men talk like a baby when holding a newborn in their arms. 

For the next year I lost the baby weight. Dimitri got bigger. Everything was great over here in Russia. But during that time Nikolai was trying to convince me to get back in touch with my family. He wants our son to know my side of the family. But I can't. I am still upset that they all made choices without my knowledge and the things they said to me. Not only my family but my ex friends as well. 

I said this to Nikolai and I think he understands but he is still pushing me to get a hold of my family. 

Nikolai - 

It's been a long enough time that Charlotte has spoken to her family. I want her to talk to her family. I have been talking with her oldest brother Elijah on everything about her when he asks about her. Frankly her whole family does ask about her. 

I think they felt bad in the end about lying to her for so long. They just want to speak with her. Especially her friends, the ones that helped understand Charlotte's favorite place in the world. 

Even when I bring her family up, she tenses up but she talks to me but there is more underneath. 

All I want to do is help so that is why I am pushing her to make the step. 

So I brought up the pink party to the Salvatore family. I did not pick that name, it's just the nearest event that we all can meet up and where we all can talk. 

Just hoping that it goes well. 

Charlotte - 

Nikolai told me about the pink party ahead of time which is good I guess. And he said that we need to go to this pink party, pink not my favorite color but however I get ready then I get into my baby's room and I see him sitting in his crib with his pacifier in his mouth. When he saw me he smiled so big the pacifier came out of his mouth. I scoop him up in my arms, kiss his face all over and he laughs so loud which makes me do the same. 

Going downstairs to warm up a bottle for the little man. He watches me intensely on what I am doing, such as his father. When Dimitri is good to go I get him dressed and pack a bag before heading out the door with Nikolai to go to the pink party. 

Putting Dimitri in the car seat then going in the passenger side we head off. What do people do at a pink party? 

Nikolai comes to a complete stop at a house of sorts. It's a nice, very large place. We grab what we need the most. I am holding on to my son and Nikolai grabs the bag. Stepping into the place, Nikolai was not kidding around when he said pink party. I might be sick. 

However we move further into the place but I stop because I see someone that I was not hoping to see. My brother, Killian. Like what the hell. I look over to Nikolai which he comes over and takes Dimitri out of my arms. 

" talk to your family. I would like for our son to know your side of the family. You need to talk to them, little dove."

Nikolai walks away from Charlotte. Charlotte rolls her eyes about the whole thing. Not only did she see Killian but all of her brothers. And very slowly her father came out in the open. 

More of her family came out of the open. Wanting to talk to her, Gabriel, the head of the family, the boss, which is Charlotte's grandfather, even wanted to talk to her. 

At first it was really awkward between everyone. Charlotte refused to talk to anyone. So Nikolai broke the ice between everyone by walking out with Dimitri.  That kind of broke the tension with everybody. Aries, Charlotte's father, got to meet his grandson from his only daughter. 

Charlotte found out a few things about her family while she was in russia. That Julian and Clara had more kids adding to the ones they already have. Clara gave birth to 6 more children at the same time which were sextuplets. Which are all boys, oh lord Clara is going to need all the help she can get. 

Mila, daughter to Rowan, she finished college and she got married. And that Ace, son to Rowan got someone pregnant and had to marry her on the orders of their father, Ambrose. 

Uncle Lucian, his life has been hard. Only having daughters, many daughters he finally has a son. Many were surprised that Lucian could still get his wife pregnant at their ages but he did. Magdalena, Arya, Elizabeth, Violet, Artemis, Emerald, and Arthur. One big happy family for Lucian. 

That Isabella's children were having children of their own. Beside all that, Killian wanted to talk with Charlotte. He has something on his mind that he wants to tell. And he feels like he can tell Charlotte the most. 

No one else in the family knows about it. He is nervous how the family would react to the news. After pulling Charlotte to the side he started. 

" umm...charlotte I want to speak to you about something....um. I would like it if you don't tell anyone about this....you know how everyone is pushing to get married?" 

Charlotte shook her head yes. 

" Have you ever seen me with a girl? The thing is...I am....not....into girls....". 

" Killian. Are you telling me that you are gay?"

" Yeah, I guess I am. Just hope that you don't see me any different.."

" Killian you are my brother, you and the whole family lie to my face about the marriage deal and you hurt me but I will never stop loving you. Nor will my mind change about you that you are gay, who cares. You will always be my brother."

The words Charlotte said to Killian made him feel better. It meant the world to him. But deep down he was afraid of what the others would say. Especially their father and grandfather. 

Between the two of them talking it caught the other brothers attention so they came over. They wanted to know what was going on. It turned out Killian got the whole party looking at him, it was now or never. And if all fails he would move to russia. 

Killian took a deep breath and told the truth and let the chips fall as they are. Everyone was silent, no one spoke and it was killing him. Killian's father Aries got up from his chair to face his son. 

Aries hugged his son. 

" I don't care if you are gay. You are still my son". 

" Being gay does not make you any less than a man. And Killian you are a man and I am proud to have a grandson as you". Gabriel said.

" We will still kick your ass at basketball". One of the brothers said to Killian. 

Killian was able to relax fully at this party and he held Dimitri threw the whole party. 

After the pink party Nikolai and Charlotte said goodbye to everyone and returned home. Charlotte cooked dinner that night. Both of them watched their son play with his food and eat it at the same time. 

Charlotte picked up her son to clean him up. Once she got him undressed the little cheeky bug peed. Charlotte was able to move out of the way of the angle of the pee. She looked at her son and the little bug laughed, Charlotte cracked a smile too. She raspberry his little tummy and got him into the tub. 

Put on some clean clothes for the little man and put him in his bed. Then Charlotte went to take a shower after she got her son down to sleep. 

Soon enough Charlotte was in the arms of Nikolai, soon enough asleep.
