Chapter 1: Sick
I woke up to the sound of my annoying six am alarm clock. I reached over and shut it off. It was time for my hourly practice with Dimitri. Aah, Dimitri. At just the thought of him my heart fluttered. I sat up in bed and ran a hand lazily through my tangled hair—the way Adrian did sometimes.
Adrian Ivashkov was a good looking Moroi who was attracted to me. He was only at 's Academy because he, along with my best friend Lissa, were spirit users. It was very conflicting sometimes as I did like Adrian, just not the way I loved Dimitri. I hopped out of bed and headed to my bathroom to take a quick shower.
After I was done I changed into my regular practice clothes: a tank top, sweat pants and my favorite Aeropostale hoodie [pic link on my profile]. I wrapped my hair up into a high bun then headed back to my room to get my 'school clothes'.
"What to wear Rose?" I asked myself. I grabbed a striped turquoise t-shirt, and a pair of black skinny jeans. I bent down, and searched under my bed until I found my Converse that matched my top. Lissa was always complaining to me that whenever we go shopping, I always buy at least one Converse and about five pairs of sneakers as opposed to the truckloads of heels, sandals and girly flip-flops she loves to buy.
I stuffed everything in my shoulder bag and added a few books to my backpack. I gathered both my bags and my newly acquired hot pink Blackberry [thanks to Adrian] (pic link on my profile) and headed to the gym. As soon as i reached inside the gym I saw Dimitri stretching on an exercise mat.
"Good morning comrade," I said in my usual greeting.
Dimitri looked up at me. "Good morning Rose. Twenty laps today," he ordered.
I dropped my bags near the doorway and headed over to my exercise mat to warm-up but halfway there, I doubled over and started puking all over the floor. Dimitri was at my side in a second, his hand rubbing my back.
"Roza, what's wrong?" he asked frantically. I puked again for a few more seconds before I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand. Dimitri helped me up and I rested most of my weight on him. He led me to the clinic but while we were going into Dr. Olendzki's office I threw up again—thankfully not on Dimitri—all over the tiled floors.
Dr. Olendzki came towards me but stayed a few feet away, as if she thought I was going to throw up on her. "Rose what's wrong?" she asked, imitating Dimitri's earlier question. "I don't know everything was fine and then I just threw up, and I'm not sick and I haven't had anything unusual to eat," I said, hopefully answering any questions she may have asked.
"I'm going to run a test Rose. Guardian Belikov can you wait outside please."
Dimitri nodded and headed outside. I took a seat and waited for Dr. Olendzki to come back from the storage room. "Rose," she began, "I need you take this test." She handed me a pregnancy test. She must have registered my utterly confused expression because she said, "I have to rule out pregnancy and if so is the case the sooner I know the better."
Dimitri and I had sex around a month ago just before the Strigoi attacked the school. We hadn't used protection—although we wouldn't have even if dhampirs could get pregnant by other dhampirs—as we were too caught up in the moment. But Dimitri is a dhampir, he couldn't have gotten me pregnant so I took the test and headed to the bathroom.
I sat worriedly in the same chair a couple minutes later, waiting for the results. It was nerve-wracking. What if Dimitri had gotten me pregnant? Dr. Olendzki was flipping through a magazine as if the test that could change my life wasn't in my hands right now.
The timer went off and she looked up at me. "It's time Rose." I took a deep breath and flipped over the stick. I couldn't believe it. I just couldn't. She took the stick from me and read it. "Congratulations Rose, you're pregnant."
Ohmigod... I'm going to be a mother. I'm going to give birth to a real human being. Wait did she say congralutations?
"Why the hell would I be congratulated on the fact that I'm now a freaking mother!" I screamed at her. "I know you feel this is a disaster especially since you haven't graduated yet but take this opportunity to grow. Some people can't and won't experience the joys, pain and discoveries of being a mother," she said quietly. I secretly wondered if she couldn't have kids. I shook my head. Who cared it wasn't her problem.
"You're going to have to put a hold on all those combat trainings and you'll have to inform Headmistress Kirova."
"I can't be pregnant," I said to myself. "Well you are," said Dr. Olendzki. She handed me a bottle of pre-natal vitamins and told me when I would need to come back for an ultra-sound."By the looks of it I'd say you're about four weeks pregnant."
I felt tears pooling in my eyes."And lastly, you should tell the father Rose."
I nodded and took the bottle and ran out. I ran past Dimitri, but he just ran after me and stopped me. "Rose what happened, are you okay?"
I nodded."Dimitri there's something I have to tell you okay just not right now," I said to him.
"Come on Roza, you can tell me anything," he said lovingly. I looked up at how I wished that was true.
"I will tell you just be patient."
He nodded and let me go. I started walking to the gym when I could swear I heard Dimitri say,"Please be careful my Rose."
