Chapter One

RPOV

It has been six weeks since the attack on the school and I had just found out that an affect of being shadow kissed is that I can get pregnant with another dhampirs child. I had just finished taking a pregnancy test and found out I was pregnant. I was pregnant with Dimitri's baby. Life couldn't get any better.

But I kept getting this gut feeling telling me something bad was going to happen and soon.

As I walked into the gym for my training with Dimitri I saw him standing in the middle of the gym with a duffle bag by his feet. That just mad my gut feeling a whole lot worse.

"Hey comrade, what's up?" I asked trying to keep calm and very Rose like.

Trying being the main word in that thought.

"I've decided to take up Tasha's offer and I am now officially her guardian," he said, never looking at me in the eye.

"You can't- You're lying to me. You have to be," I said uselessly.

"I am Tasha's guardian," he said again.

Now I was just pissed.

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" I yelled and he blinked at me, "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DIFFERENT. I THOUGHT YOU WEREN'T GOING TO BE THE TYPE OF GUY WHO THINKS HE CAN FUCK ROSE HATHAWAY AND THEN LEAVE, JUST LIKE THAT. YOU KNOW WHAT? I WAS REALLY HAPPY UNTIL THIS. I FOUND OUT BECAUSE I AM SHADOW KISSED I CAN HAVE A DHAMPIR'S BABY. GET PREGNANT BY A I DISCOVER I AM PREGNANT WITH YOUR BABY," He kept silent during my rant until my last sentence when he gasped. He took a step towards me and I took a step back.

"No," I said, "You want be with some Moroi bitch that I know for a fact that you don't love that's fine. Go right ahead. It's your bloody choice," I was surprised at how calm I was being considering I was about to lose the love of my life, "I'm just Rose Hathaway, SLUT OF THE SCHOOL. Everybody just going to assume the baby is Adrian's anyway. Hell, maybe I am the psycho bitch that is crazy enough to see ghosts, sluttish enough to sleep with my own mentor and stupid enough to think thin k you were my soul mate."

"Roza-," I cut him off.

"Enough. I am just some 18 year old bitch you managed to knock up, make her believe someone actually loved her, make her think you were her soul mate, make me think I WAS ACTUALLY WORTH SOMETHING TO SOME ONE, THAT I WASN'T WORTHLESS, THAT I ACTUALLY MATTERED," I yelled, tears streaming down my face. I tried to take a deep breath and compose myself.

"Roza-," He started to say but I cut him off again.

"Thankyou Guardian Belikov for all the extra training. I am sure it will come in handy in the future," I said.

I then turn around and walk out the door with Dimitri yelling my name behind me.
