(AI: Hi all I'm going to try not to do a lot of these through this story but I need to say a few things. If I get anything wrong please tell me. I am currently reading Last Sacrifice. I'm just very impatient and curious so I may have googled somethings. So if anything I do in this 17 year or so later story please tell me conflicts with the books and there is no explanation for them please tell me. However a lot is headcanon and speculation but I will either change it or clear it up in some way. Alright now onto the probably only Rose POV chapter. Which is going to be pretty short.)
Lissa and I sat in her room, chatting like we used to. It had been a long time since we could just talk. No one way bond using needed.
Yes, I am her guardian but she had been so busy the last few years being queen while Dimitri and I were called off to help another Dhampirs or Morois who had been turned back from being Strigoi.
This was a very rare and actually fun moment. We got to talk while Lissa gushed a bit about being pregnant. She was about 3 months along. Well it had been fun. Until I was unexpectedly sick. Well not unexpectedly, I had been getting this way for about a week now. I figured it would pass. It was rare for a Dhampir or Moroi to become this sick, if they ever got sick.
"Rose, you really should see a doctor. I could have mine come to see you," Lissa pleaded, "It's no big deal honestly."
"I'm fine, Liss," I had told her, when I could lift my head from the toilet.
But she seemed to either not care for what I was saying or just too worried.
She not only called her doctor but also Dimitri, who was currently with Christian. Christian was actually ring shopping… I assume you know where that is going.
Now I was being examined by Lissa's doctor and annoyed greatly.
Despite our love for each other Dimitri and I were going to be arguing later on why I didn't tell him that I was so sick.
"Rose calm down," Lissa started but I have her no time to finish.
"Calm down?! Calm down?! Lissa I'm pregnant! Which being with Dimitri should be impossible!" i wasn't even caring that I was shouting.
"Rose, remember what you told me about what Sydney said? It's not impossible, you two were just too stubborn to listen!"
I was pacing around the room, from what I had know Christian had made Dimitri stay with him so that's why they weren't here.
"Rose please sit, you know the doctor said to not become stressed now. None of us know how the child will react to it. You could hurt it," Lissa said… before actually using compulsion on me.
Dammit, Liss.
I was forced to comply.
Once Dimitri and Christian had gotten back Dimitri didn't actually say anything to me. He was still angry that I didn't tell him I was so sick… hopefully the real reason would make him feel better. He had said that he wouldn't mind having children.
We were all silent before Christian finally spoke up, "So feeling a little under the weather, Rose? Once Lissa called Dimitri wanted to hurry along our shopping trip."
"Shut up, Ozera," I scowled, "You don't know the half of it…"
I decided now would be the best time to tell Dimitri, either now or later. Never really wasn't an option. Besides he would want to know now. "I think we should go, Lissa can fill you in, Christian. I want to talk to Dimitri alone."
Dimitri didn't argue, which didn't surprise me. He was never one to wear his emotions outside. I could still tell he was upset with me though. I could just read him that well sometimes.
I gave Lissa a hug before we left, once in the hall she shot me a message through the bond.
It'll be okay, Rose. Remember not to get upset, try to stay calm no matter his reaction.
Dimitri had waited until we were to our room before he started, "Why didn't you tell me you were so sick? I knew you weren't feeling fantastic but Lissa told me you said you've been throwing up everyday for a week now? Roza, I understand you can't sit and do nothing but when you need to stop do it. We don't need to be by Christian and Lissa's sides all the time here."
I waited for him to finish before I said, "I'm not sick, comrade," he was ready to speak but I beat him to it, "Remember back when Sydney said it was probably possible that we could have children?"
It took him all of two seconds, if not less to process what I was saying, "...You're pregnant."
I could barely get a nod in before his warm lips were against mine.
Alice stared at me a mix of emotions on her face. I really didn't need to tell her about the kiss. But I figured a brief recap of the day was needed.
"So if you two were able to have free time at the court why did you send me here so young?"
"We still had the other Dhampirs or Morois that were being turned back to worry about," Dimitri spoke up, "We needed to use our 'free time' to help them."
She nodded in understanding, definitely something she got from Dimitri. Despite me being a prodigy I was never to happy that my mother brought me here when I was so young.
...I decided now wasn't the best time to tell her about all the complications I did have while pregnant with her.
You see even with Spirit flowing through Dimitri's veins we are still Dhampirs so it should have been near impossible that I had Alice. I had to be extremely careful of how much Spirit fueled anger I took from Lissa, I had to keep myself extremely calm which was excruciatingly hard, not to mention that I was put on medication to keep Alice healthy.
Despite all that there were some problems. I had abnormal pains for example. And when she was born she initially wasn't breathing. However after a few moments she started to breath and cry like a normal baby would.
