Rose POV

I cried out and opened my eyes. That by far had to be the worst nightmare I've had so far. Dimitri had been rocking the babies with a smile on my face. The babies looked about two months old and all I felt inside of me was hatred. Though, it wasn't directed towards the babies nor Dimitri. I just felt angry. Without letting Dimitri know I was there, I turned and headed downstairs. Let's just say, no one survived that nightmare. I was currently alone in my hospital room. Last night, Adrian and Christian dragged Dimitri away to get something. What? I didn't know.

Although we weren't talking, I could feel Lissa's emotions through the bond. Anger, guilt, sadness. I decided to see what she was doing so I slipped into her mind. Lissa was in her bathroom. I could tell she was crying because my cheeks were now wet. No, no, no! I now knew what Lissa was doing and why I felt guilt and sadness coming from the bond. She was sitting the tub, cutting her wrists. I pulled myself from her head and started ripping the needles out of my arms. The heart monitor started beeping and I heard footsteps coming fast towards my room, but I was out the window before they could get in. It was a good thing I was on the first floor. Had I been on the second or third, I could have really hurt myself.

The hospital wasn't far from our houses. Luckily, a cab was going by and just so happened to think I was in need of a ride. I hopped in and told him my address. My place was right next to Lissa's. I would have given him her address, but I have to run in and grab some money. As soon as we pulled up, I told him that I'd be right back. I ran into my house and grabbed my wallet, but I went back outside and the cab was gone. My eyebrows raised in question, but I ignored that and ran into Lissa's. Following the bond, I figured out which room was hers. I barged in and ran towards the bathroom. Well, as fast as I could. Especially for a pregnant woman expecting twins.

"Stop!" I yelled as I opened the door.

Lissa stared at me, shock written all over her tear streaked face. Then it turned into guilt and sadness. "I'm so sorry, Rose!" she cried. "I didn't mean what I said to you! That was just the darkness speaking. It was all a mistake!"

I started crying and nodding my head. "I know, Liss. I know. But you have to stop this. This isn't good for either of us."

Her eyes flickered towards my stomach and she started sobbing even harder. "I'm so sorry! I could've caused the death of your babies!"

I enveloped Lissa into my arms and hugged her as close as I could. Lissa's phone started ringing somewhere, but the both of us ignored it. If it was important, they'd leave a message. But after ten minutes, we realized that the person on the other side of that phone would not shut up until Lissa answered. I released Lissa and she went to go get her phone. While she was out of the bathroom, I rummaged through her closet and pulled out some bandages. When I turned around, Lissa was leaning against the door frame with an amused look on her face. I waved her over to me and started to put on her bandages.

"You snuck out of the hospital?"

"More like escaped," I said dryly. "The food was horrible, the bed was stiff, and I'm positive your boyfriend, my boyfriend, and Adrian were not comfortable in those chairs."

Lissa gave me a stern look. "They thought you had been kidnapped."

"Took them long enough to call you."

"They thought I would have been kidnapped too. That's-"

All of a sudden her bedroom door was broken open. There stood Dimitri in all of his glory. He was panting breathlessly. He was also very pissed. Dimitri looked at me and he rushed over. "God, Rose! What the hell happened? Are you okay? Why are you bleeding?"

I gave him a sheepish look. "It's not mine."

He let out a sigh of relief. Then he looked at me cautiously. "Then who's is it?"

"It's mine," Lissa admitted.

After that little scene, Dimitri got pissed again. "Why the fuck did you leave the hospital without telling anyone?" He's cursing in english. He must be royally pissed.

"None of you would have let me out by myself!" I shouted. My babies started kicking furiously and rapidly. I put a hand on my stomach and chuckled. "They don't like mommy and daddy fighting."

Dimitri's face softened and he reached out. "C-can I?"

I gave him an are-you-serious look. "They're your children too. It takes two people to create living beings. I mean, it is the guy's di-" Lissa put her hand over my mouth.

He grinned sheepishly and placed his hand on my stomach. Lissa's hand was also there. Sooner or later everyone was surrounding me with their hands on my stomach feeling the babies kick. I was officially six months along today. Just three more months to go and these babies would be out. Growing tired and getting annoyed at the hands, I pushed past all of them and laid down on Lissa and Christian's bed.

My thoughts started to drift and a voice in my head kept bugging me. It was the same one that told me to set everything on fire and the same one that has been telling me to do stuff since the week before I left the Academy. "Rosemarie Hathaway. What a pleasure it is to be inside your head."

"Who the fuck are you?" I shouted earning weird looks.

The voice chuckled. "You will not know my name until it is the right time. Now, my dear Rosemarie. I will be coming for you and your children. Go ahead and prepare for my forces. I just want you to know that it will not work."

I screamed and clutched my head. "Make it stop!" I screamed. "Make it stop. Make it stop. Make. It. Stop!"

Dimitri enveloped me in his arms, but I pushed out of them and scrambled back. Was it the doctor? They did say not to leave me alone. What was that even about? Hurt flashed across Dimitri's face, but it was gone as quickly as it came and replaced by his Guardian mask. Adrian hesitantly stepped forward. There were tears running down my face.

"It's not fair," I sobbed. Adrian shot me a sympathetic look. He knew. I know he did. "Adrian," I sobbed. "Make it stop."

Apparently that was the wrong thing to say because Dimitri's eyes flared with anger. He thought Adrian was doing this to me. "What the fuck are you doing to her?"

Of course, Adrian ignored him. "Honey, you know I can't do that." He didn't try to step forward. I never did like being touched during this time. "We've gone over this." Lissa was wondering what was going on. "What did he say?"

I shook my head and shot him a look that hopefully said not-right-now. The babies started kicking like crazy. I was pretty sure they were bruising my stomach. "It's not use. You'll never get this to stop. Besides, I'll always be five steps ahead of you. Make sure that you tell Adrian adieu."

I looked at Adrian with a frantic look. "Adieu," I repeated but it was more of a question.

Adrian looked bewildered, but realization flooded his face. For some reason, so did Christian's. At the same time, they both lunged at me. Christian held me to his chest while I felt the familiar warmth of Spirit flood through me. The babies stopped kicking and my stomach felt better. I felt myself go limp in Christian's arms.

"Why did you jump at me?" I whispered so only he could hear.

"I know."

My eyes widened. "Everything?"

"Adrian told me."

I looked at Adrian in horror. Adrian gave me a sad look. "I had to. I couldn't be the only one that knew."

"You promised!" I cried.

"I did it to protect you!" He whisper-shouted.

Burying my face in Christian's shirt, I sobbed. Lissa was hurt that she didn't know, but she was now thinking it was to protect me. Adrian got up and ushered everybody out. Dimitri was calling my name, but I continued crying and ignoring him.

Sorry this is so late. I've had this done. I just haven't had the chance to update it. Review please.
