Rose's POV. 18 years earlier.
"Hey there little dhampir," I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Adrian,"I smiled turning around slowly bending in for a kiss. His soft lips pressed against mine and I could feel it starting to heat up, but before it could someone interrupted.
"Rose!"
I spun around and came face to face with Lissa running at me. I reached out my arms just as she leapt into them. I scanned her mind through the bond and found out that her and Christian had just sorted things out.
"He said yes," she cried with joy her hair flying around her face making mine look dull and out of place.
"You look like your glowing. I was scared when you came running at me like that," I laughed hugging her.
"So where is Christian?" Adrian asked from behind me.
"He's off training the little ones."
I almost chocked with laughter but Adrian slapped me on the back before I could.
"Well I should leave you two alone. You little love birds."
I watched Lissa walk away towards her dorm and then turned towards Adrian.
"We need to talk," I whispered leading him to the guest rooms.
We walked past the dorm matron and dragged him up the stairs two at a time. I pushed open the door of his room and lead him to the couch. He sat down as I went and pour him a drink from his beverage cabinet.
"Rose what's happening? You can tell me."
I saw love and worry in his eyes as I sat down and gave him his glass.
"I missed it," I mumbled looking at my feet.
"Missed what Rose? What did you miss?" His face showed fear as I looked up into his sparkling eyes.
"Adrian," I paused, "I'm pregnant."
I could feel him leap of the lounge and walk over to his bar and grab a bottle of vodka. I could still taste the Russian vodka that I had a Dimitri's funeral. Dimitri! No Rose don't think about it.
"With Dimitri?" He asked turning towards me.
