Rose POV
This could not be happening. I could not be pregnant, but despite all of my reasoning the two powdery blue lines stared back at me defiantly. Who knew those two small lines could scare me but
staking a Strigoi was simple. My life has changed forever the small piece of plastic in my hand held all the secrets. My eyes watered and a million questions flooded through my head. How do I tell
Dimitri? How did I get pregnant in the first place? Just a meager two weeks ago I was gracefully losing my virginity to the man I loved. Dimitri. Just saying his name made my heart flutter. He was the
man whom was the father of my unborn child. He was the man who loved me. I tenderly put my hand on my stomach looking for any signs of pregnancy. But much to my avail my stomach was flat. I
stood up quickly realizing that I was late for my morning practice with Dimitri. I didn't make it far though my head swam and I sank back down to the floor in defeat. I crawled to the bathroom and
promptly threw away the test. I rose slowly gripping the sink. There much better I thought to myself. I slowly made my way to my dresser and grabbed my workout clothes. I hastily changed and
headed off to the training gym. My walk was slow and the wind was biting. The soft slush made my tennis shoes cold and wet. When I finally reached the gym, Dimitri stood in the center of the room
and had a stern look on his face.
"You're late" he said gruffly.
"I know I'm sorry." I replied
"Well I guess we'll warm up with a sparring challenge." I nodded and grabbed my gear. I looked and saw Dimitri looking at me lovingly. I started on offence and after I made my first hit I stumbled back
my vision swimming. Dimitri gripped my elbow steadying me. "You okay?" He said looking worried.
"Yeah." I said lying through my teeth. He didn't look convinced but he continued with the fight. He was on offence this time he faked right the hit left, popping my shoulder out of socket. The pain didn't
even register I just kept dodging. Dimitri noticed my weak open spot and kicked it powerfully. I flew backwards hitting the wall hard and my stomach exploded in a world of agony. All of the contents of
my stomach were all over the floor. My hand reached up to my mouth to wipe away the vomit but my never made it there. I started hacking up blood and that's when I thought I was going to die. Black
etched my vision and I thought this is it. The end. I whispered my last words "I love you Dimii..." and with that I drifted away into nothingness.
Dimitri POV
Roza my Roza where was her mind today? Something about her seemed off. I faked right then hit her arm left causing it to pop out of socket, but she didn't even wince. She kept going like nothing
happened at all. I aimed my second hit at her stomach hoping that she would dodge it. But instead she let the full force hit her and she shot back into the wall, crumpling to the ground. She held her
stomach glancing up at me with glazed eyes. Her face turned to a slightly green color, and she threw up all the contents of her stomach. I rushed to her side trying to help her in anyway possible. Her
hand reached up to brush the vomit off her mouth but it never reached its destination. She was retching and before I knew it she was coughing up blood. I tenderly picked her up and ran to the
hospital. When I was about halfway there she put her hand on my cheek and whispered the words I'd always wanted to hear.
"I love you Dimii..." and with that her eyes closed and she became dead weight in my arms.
