Rose stared at the empty nursery in disgust. Anastasia had been taken. Dimtri shuffled into the room, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. 'Roza, come here." He wrapped his arms around her, pressing her to his chest. "I promise we'll get Stasia back. But staying up all night worrying won't help. I won't let you leave this castle until you're strong enough to protect yourself. I don't want to find out Azrian harmed you. Just because you're the queen of the dead, doesn't mean you can't be put out of commission."

Rose sobbed against him. "I'm a terrible mother! This is all my fault!"

"Roza, you were tired from just giving birth," Dimtri murmured. "You couldn't have stopped anything. Now, please come back to bed. The sooner you're back to your full power, the sooner we can get Stasia back." He scooped her up and carried her back to their bedroom.

Lissa threw up in the bathroom again. This was the 10th day of this. Christian crouched down beside her and held her hair away. He wiped her face with a warm wash cloth. Lissa saw a box in his hand and stared. "I'll leave you alone now," he murmured.

"No," she whimpered. "Stay." He sat down on her bed and waited for her to come out with the test. Lissa finally came out. "3 more minutes to wait." They two watched the test. "Maybe I should do more than one. I've heard they can sometimes be wrong."

Christian asked, "Should I go grab the fullest container of liquid in the fridge?" Lissa nodded. He went into the kitchen and found an almost full apple juice carton. He grabbed two glasses and went back to Lissa's room.

She pointed at the test. "The box said pink means pregnant." The stick had two pink lines.

Lissa started chugging apple juice. "I thought you wanted a baby," Christian murmured.

"I do, but I don't want to have false hope," she said. After four more tests, all positive, Lissa grinned. "I'm pregnant!"

Christian kissed her. "You're welcome. Call me if you ever need another sperm donor."

Lissa stared at him. "You mean this was just sex to you?! Because it wasn't to me."

"It wasn't?" Christian asked.

"No," she answered. "I like you."

Christian smiled. "Then let's be a couple."

Lissa kissed him. "Deal."

Sydney sat in the nursery rocking the baby, but she wouldn't stop wailing. Azrian threw open the door. "Good God, shut it up!"

Sydney cried, "I've tried everything. Feeding her, burping her, changing her diaper, put her in her crib, rocking her. Nothing is working!"

Azrian put the baby in her crib and pulled Sydney out. He locked the nursery door and growled, "Let's go. It'll be fine."

The two got into Azrian's limo and he commanded, "Drive us somewhere to eat. Pick a place at least an hour away."

Sydney asked, 'So what should we call her?"

"Spawn of Satan?" Azrian suggested angrily.

"How about Terra?" Sydney asked.

"I don't care. You pick," Azrian growled. "I don't care about that thing. I just want to hurt Rose."
