So much emotion, at one point I couldn't stop crying! Love this story so much!
I wish you could do a sequel, I wiuld love to see rose as a teacher or even just more of Dimitri as a teacher. While they deal with problematic students. There was mattew here but I wish there was more.
So fingers crossed for a sequel !
Keep up the good work!

is there a sequel possibility for this, like a trilogy?

Loved it, was sad when Rose though Ivan was dead and that her and Dimitri fell apart but so glad they got back together and he stayed strong for her all that time, and they got their son back...lovely look forward to reading more.

What a roller coaster of emotions! Loved both your stories - A Blessing in Disguise and Open Your Eyes.

I love this whole story, it was funny, suspense, and heart warming. It had me unable to hold my laughs, great work on the story. I loved it!

Please please write more stories :)

Amazing! I balled my eyes out though you sure can write.

Heartbreaking.

I think you are my new favorite person.
I LOVE your stories! Thank you so much for sharing your brilliance with everyone!

Thank you thank you thank you! You're amazing :)

I will not complain if you *hint hint* would do another sequel to this story.
I mean, general Belikov and baby Belikov sound adorable and I would love it if there was a way Rose could get pregnant again. Just saying.

Yes, yes, yes :D
Wrote more more more :p

I have just found your stories and read them both and I just needed to tell you that I was blown away. Your stories were perfect good chapter lengths good details I like how you told her kidnapping brilliant by the way. I truly loved how much of a protective nut you made General Dimitri Belikov because I truly see him that way well thank you again for this amazing story I have never cried so much while reading one. Thanks again Melissa

Whyyyyy?! Of all ways to continue the story?! I understand possibly Rose losing Ivan, but not being able to have children again?'! That's just cruel! Despite this, I still enjoy your writing...

Thanks for continuing anyway,
A reader

Oh my God! These were the best stories ever! I really enjoyed reading them. Great work!

OMG! I literally LOVE how the ending turned out, i was on an emotional roller coaster reading both "Blessing in disguise" and "Open your eyes" seriously i hated all the bad bits that happened, it was so argh! But knowing that it made them stronger was EVEN better! Love all your stories you've written, please write some more stories with the VA characters, i swear you are by far the best writer on this site!
