AN~ I don't own Vampire Academy, the lovely Richelle Mead does. This is in Rose's pov unless stated otherwise. This takes place right after Last Sacrifice.
I watch as my friend walks out of the room as the new Queen. I felt proud as she walked with her head held high. Jill follows Lisa out of the room. She was still nervous about this whole ordeal. Dimitri held me close to his body. I lean up and kiss Dimitri softly.
"We did good," I whisper up to him.
"You did good," he corrects me. I felt a warmth flow through my body. His arms release me from him so I could stand back up just in time to see Abe and my mother walking back towards us.
"Since you are so determined not to let me take Dimitri far far out into the wild with firearms, how about we do dinner to night." Abe says.
"You not working tonight," my mother says before I could use that as an excuse. I let out a sigh.
"Fine," I admit defeat. Abe smiles.
"Good, we'll pick you two up at six." Abe says. Without me saying anything else the two of them leave. Dimitri and I exchange glances then we watch the two of them walk away.
"Oh, god, this is going to be a long night." I murmur under my breath. I look back up at Dimitri, "Are you sure you want to go to the dinner, we could always escape to your family. Your sisters like me enough." I bite my bottom lip. He just chuckles and shakes his head.
"Roza," he smiles down at me.
"Lisa's not here any more, so there's no real need to be in this room. Let's go back to the apartment." I suggest.
"Lead the way," he simply says. I smile and walk out of the room. The walk back to the apartment wasn't all that long, but something felt off. I was cramping, and my feet hurt. But being Rose I don't complain to Dimitri. Once back at the apartment I go to the closet and open it, truthfully I had no clue where any of these clothes came from let alone when I got them. So for a second I just stand in front of the closet.
"Where did I get these clothes?" I murmur to myself.
"You're father and friend got them for you," Dimitri whispers standing behind me. He places his hands on my hips. His lips brush against my neck sending warmth through my body. Then another pain ripples through my body. I grip the closet's door, my fingers digging into the wood.
"What's wrong?" He asks standing up and looking down at me. I shake my head not able to speak as another wave of pain hits me making me double over. "Rose, what wrong?" I could hear the panic in his voice. I swallow a growing lump in my throat as the pain resides for a minute.
"I-I don't know," I answer taking a deep breath. The second I try and straighten my body pain shoots through me once again. In the back of my head something connected but I couldn't truly believe it. It couldn't be why this was happening, it was impossible. But another pain shoots through me as something wet slips down my legs. My breath catches in my throat. I look over my shoulder and at Dimitri.
"How long has it been since the night at the cabin?" I ask.
"Uhh, I don't know, close to nine months." He says then it is apparent he connected the dots. "Is it even possible?" He asks.
"I-I don't know. I was shadow-kissed then. It might have something to do with it." I say then double over as another wave of pain hits me. This time it was longer. Without warning Dimitri picks me up and starts jogging towards the door. "What are you doing?"
"Taking you to the hospital." He says opening the door and closing it with his foot. He put me in his SUV in the passenger seat. I curl up into a ball and lean against the door. He quickly got in and start the SUV up. The drive was about five minutes. He parks as close as he could to the front door of the hospital. He carries me inside of the hospital.
"Put me down, I-" I start to protest but I'm cut off by more pain. I bury my face into his chest as he stops walking. I look over and see an older woman, I would guess a moroi because of her pale skin.
"What's wrong?" She asks.
"She's showing signs of going into labor." Dimitri answers before I could.
"Well, go up to the maternity ward and talk to the receptionist." She says pointing to an elevator. "Floor three." Without hesitation Dimitri jogs to the elevator. Once in there he presses the 3.
"She was a bitch," I whisper into Dimitri's chest before another wave of pain hits. He kisses my forehead.
"It is going to be okay, Roza," he says trying to soothe me. I hope that he's right. I grit my teeth as another pain hits but it is worse it made me scream. It was muffled through my grit teeth and his shirt but it was still loud. Once the doors open he runs to the desk.
"Hi, what can I do for you?" The bright voice makes me cringe. I glance towards the girl, she was a young moroi girl with bright yellow blonde hair and golden honey brown eyes.
"She's showing signs of being in labor." He repeats. The girl frowns.
"Has she been here for a check up before?" She asks.
"No," Dimitri answers.
"Well I'll have to find you a doctor then. Until then I can take you to a room. She stands up and rolls a wheel chair over to us. Dimitri lowers me into the chair. I would way rather be in his arms than this chair but I don't say anything. I hold his hand as the woman pushes me to a room far down the hall. Once in there she helped me up on the bed.
"Doctor Noel will be in soon." The girl says and walks out of the room. Dimitri sits next to the bed. I roll into a ball facing him. I keep a hold of his hand.
"I don't even look like I'm pregnant." I whisper into his hand.
"I know," he just answers.
"And if I was I would have guessed I would have lost the baby somewhere down the long road." I admit. I look up into his eyes.
"I'm happy you didn't." He leans down and kisses my forehead.
"We're suppose to go to dinner with my parents. What are we going to tell them?" I ask.
"The truth?" He offers. I sigh.
"We don't have much of a choice do we?" I ask as the door opens. A woman walks in. Her dark brown hair held in a tight but, her silver eyes land on me.
"Hello, I'm Dr. Noel," she says walking over to me with a clipboard. "So, Janelle told me you haven't been here before."
"I didn't even know I was pregnant." I say.
"Hm, that's a rare thing." Dr. Noel says. "Well, first you'll have to change into this." She says handing me one of the godawful green and white checkered gowns. She walks out of the room so I had some privacy. Dimitri helps me get out of my suit. When he takes off my white undershirt I notice now the bump. I'm not small, I have some fluffness to my body but I wouldn't have even guessed I was pregnant. He pulls my jeans and underwear off, he doesn't look down trying to be polite. He helps me put the dress on. It was one of those hospital dresses with the open back and huge sleeves that could fit arms five times the size of mine. Dimitri opens the door letting in the doctor.
"Okay, let's see how dilated you are." She says while putting rubber gloves on. A younger male doctor walks in. Dr. Noel looks at him then me. "This is my nurse, he'll be helping today." I nod my head as another wave of pain washes over me. I grip Dimitri's hand, I dig my nails into his palm. He grits his teeth but doesn't say anything. Once the pain was gone Dr. Noel walks over and pushes the skirt of my dress up so she could check.
"About five cm." She says looking at the nurse. He writes that down on a clipboard. "I'd say about two more hours till you're fully dilated." She says looking up at me. "So a few people can come in for now and talk with you if you want." She offers. I just nod. She and her nurse leave the room explaining if the pain got to unbearable to press the red button on the side of my bed.
"Do you want me to call your parents?" Dimitri asks. I frown but nod.
"They'll find out one way or another." I say. He nods and walks away to call my parents. After a few minutes he returned looking grim.
"Was it that bad?" I ask worriedly. He swallows and slightly nods his head.
"They'll be here in a minute." He says grimly. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Hey, can you pull the blanket over my hips? I kinda feel naked with just this on." I say. He nods and pulls the blanket up over my hips. I let out a sigh realizing something else. "We're finally together and now we're having a baby, we won't have a night alone together." I frown.
"It'll be okay, Roza," he kisses my hand. "We'll have a baby, a family together." I smile remembering how he wanted to have a family, I was sad at that time because I didn't know I was capable of getting pregnant by him. I smile. Then the door opens and two very angry faces appear.
So, how is it so far? Leave me a review please!
I love this series so I'm trying extremely hard to get them to sound like themselves.
