Prologue
Thousands of thought were running through my head as I looked down upon the stick people call a pregnancy test. This small, breakable piece of device could possibly destroy mine and Dmitri's life forever if it read positive. For the past two weeks, I have been sick only in the mornings, been very emotional, and extremely tired for no reason whatsoever. I never thought anything of it until one day I explained all this to my best friend Lissa. She asked me if my period started this month and when I told her no, she suggested that I take a pregnancy test.
PREGNANT! I can't believe there's a possible that I, 17 years old Rose Hathaway a dhampirs, could be having a baby with 24 year old Dimitri Belikov who is another dhampir.
I can't believe this is happening to me right now. If this stick says that I'm pregnant, than how the hell do I explain this to Dimitri? Of course he's going to think that I cheated on him. I mean come on two dhampirs can't reproduce with each other. Maybe I can just have an abortion and get rid of the thing if I am pregnant.
That way, he won't leave me and our lives would be perfect; well close to perfect at least
I was brought out of my thoughts by a soft beeping sound coming from the test signifying that I can view the results. "Well Rose," I said to myself, "it now or never."
Slowly, I walked towards the test scared out of mind of what it was going to say. When I finally did make it to the pregnancy test and read what it said, I almost passed out right then and there.
I, 17 year old Rosemarie Hathaway was pregnant with Dimitri Belikov's baby.
Right at the moment I did what any other teenager would do when they found out they were having a baby; I dropped down on my knees in the bathroom floor and cried. Praying that somehow all this was just a horrible nightmare.
