A.N.: Thank you for the support! I hope you like this.
Rose P.O.V.
When I woke up, it was bright, so I knew I had a few more hours to sleep. I glanced at my left hand, just to be sure, and I smiled, this was SO unlike me, I never wanted to get married, I didn't even think I wanted to have kids, but with Dimitri everything gets crazy and flipped around. I smiled again, I was getting married, and having a baby. I had to go tell Lissa. I sensed her in her room, alone, and I started over toward the Moroi Dorm, feeling once again like a Ninja, I slipped past all the guards. God, security sucked in this school! The guards in this school were almost as bad as the Priest! I slipped past the guards and Matrons and to Lissa's room.
Knocking on the door like a crazy person, she opened it, and looked around.
"Oh, is it just you out there, I thought there was a whole army!" She joked.
"Shut up and let me in, I have news!" I whisper-shrieked. She opened the door wider, and let me in. She sat on her bed, and motioned for me to do the same.
"So…?" I didn't respond with words, I showed her my left hand, and smiled. "Oh my God! OHMYGOD!!! Who!?"
"Dimitri. Obviously."
"Oh My God," her words turned into a low whistle. "That's illegal."
"Yeah, well, still, I love him and he loves me, who cares if he's old?"
"Don't you mean older?"
"Uhm, no, he's just old, I mean the man reads Old Western Novels, and listens to Prince! He's old!" Lissa burst into a fit of giggles.
"Wait, for real?" I nodded, laughing too, "OHMYGOD," she gasped for breath, "that's so funny!" There was a knock on the door, and our laughter died abruptly, and I ran and hid in the closet. "Who is it?" She called.
"Christian, let me in!" She breathed a sigh of relief, and got up to unlock and open the door.
"What are you doing here?"
"I missed you."
"Can you miss me another time? Rose is here."
"She is?"
"Yeah, I am," I came out of the closet. "Because I have news!" I showed him my left hand.
"Am I supposed to screech?"
"Uhm, yes." He sighed.
"Yay!!!" He smiled at me. "Good enough?"
"Yes."
"Rose?" Lissa asked. "Have you decided what to do with…" Her eyes traveled to my stomach. I nodded slowly.
"I'm keeping her."
"How do you know it's a her?" I smiled.
"I just do." I put my hand over my stomach protectively.
"But wait," she stuttered, like she couldn't believe nobody had said this, "you and Dimitri are both supposed to be my guardians, what now?"
"Liss," I said walking over to her, and putting my hands on her shoulders, "I'll be your guardian later, after I've had the baby, and Dimitri will be your guardian right after graduation, I'll just live with you." I smiled faintly, I mean I was joking. Her face lit up.
"Rose!" She exclaimed. "I have the perfect solution to everything! Right after graduation, you'll live with Christian and I, Dimitri will guard us, and then when you have the baby, Christian and I will take care of her, while you take care of us! This way, you don't have to choose between work and your baby, because you'll see her every day, and she'll know you, before you send her off to the Academy, and then it'll all just be great!" She was so excited. I looked over at Christian, who was smiling, like he liked this idea.
"Liss, I can't ask you to do that," I said slowly.
"You're not! I'm telling you that I want to, and if you trust me with your baby, I'll trust you with, hmmmm, I don't know, Christian?"
"Are really serious though?"
"Yes! Think about it, why do you hate your mom?"
"Because she was never there."
"Exactly, you'll always be there, to take care of her, and just be her mom, and Dimitri will be there to be her dad."
"Yeah, I guess, but did you think to ask your boy toy first?"
"Oh, yeah, that."
"Seriously? You're only thinking about me now!?" Christian yelled.
"Kind of." She looked sheepish. "Well…? What do you think? About what I said. Just now?" She was pleading, what the hell?
"I mean, I guess that's okay, as long as Rose is there and stuff it should be fine." He said, looking at me.
"What?" I asked.
"Do you want someone else taking care of your baby?"
"If it's Lissa and you, and I'll be there, then sure, I don't mind."
"Hmmm."
"What does that mean?"
"Well, little Rose, hmm, somehow I can't picture a little kid turning out like Dimitri, but a little Rose is easy, just you, but shorter, and louder. I kind of like that idea." He smiled.
"Awww! So you do have a heart after all!"
"I do not! Shut up!" I just smiled, and Lissa looked on fondly, watching us banter.
"Oh stop you two," she cut in.
"Sorry," we said at the same time. She giggled.
"Well, I better get back to my room and get some sleep, I have practice soon." I said as I moved towards the door.
"Rose!" Lissa shrieked, you will NOT go to practice today.
"Uh, yes I will, Dimitri would kill me if I skipped."
"He would not! And you could get hurt, and the baby would get hurt."
"Liss, calm down, we'll both be fine," my hand was on my stomach again.
"Fine!" She huffed, sitting back down. Christian moved toward me.
"Want me to walk you back?" He looked concerned.
"No, just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I can't take care of myself. Thank you though."
"Sure."
I snuck back to my room without any trouble, just like when I snuck out. I slipped back to my own room, shutting the door silently. I ran to my bed, sitting down and then snuggling under the covers. When I woke up, I looked at the digital clock by my bed, and realized I was going to be late for practice. I jumped up, get ready and ran out the door.
I sprinted to the gym, and walked inside, catching my breath. Dimitri sat there, reading a Western Novel, drinking what had to be hot chocolate.
"Rose?" He looked up. "What are you doing here?"
"Getting ready to train." I looked at him raising my eyebrows.
"Why? In your condition? I do NOT think so!"
"Comrade, if I don't train, people will know, and then they'll have to ask questions, and you will get fired for getting a student pregnant!"
"True," he admitted.
"Maybe, we can just do staking, or running or something, so I stay in shape and don't, ya know, kill our baby?"
"Don't say things like that! But fine, we'll continue training."
"Oh!" I exclaimed. "Did I tell you what Lissa said?"
"No." I told him about the arrangement Lissa proposed. He smiled.
"But Rose, don't you remember, I'm going to switch assignments?"
"Do it after I have the baby." I suggested.
"Okay." We smiled at each other then, and I went outside to run, he ran with me.
"Hey. I really like Vasilisa for a girl. Mason or Christian for a boy, you never said what names you'd like for a boy."
"I have no preferences."
"Really?"
"Really. Have you told your mom yet?"
"No."
"What's that look for?"
"I wasn't planning on it."
"Rose!"
"What?"
"You have to!"
"I know," I murmured, still running.
