Chapter 6
I was a little late in the night in moroi time, when we got back to our dorms. I was too tired to put things away so I just changed and went o bed.
I'll just do it in the morning. I thought.
2 months later
My alarm clock rang to get up. I took a shower and put on jeans, boots, and a green flowy shirt. I headed to the dining hall for breakfast. I walked to my usual table where me and the gang sit at. Everyone was there eating happily. When I sat down and rush of excitement flooded into me from Lissa. I looked at her questioningly.
"I got the invitation to the annual royal dinner party." She said with a squeal.
"So…. I guess we're going shopping for stuff for the party?" I asked. I'm not going to lie I was a little scared. Shopping with Lissa can be very tiring especial when you're like me, 7 months pregnant. I'll be waddling around the whole store trying to catch up while she's dashing into every store excitedly.
"You are correct," she said it like a fact; "We're going today after breakfast."
"Alright. So who's going with us?"
"Ummm….. Let's see, Dimitri, Tasha, you, me, Christian, Eddie, Alberta, and some other guardians I don't know.
We finished breakfast, got our things, and met at the front gate. When we got to the mall it was about 3pm human time. Even though the dinner is a few weeks away we wanted to shop before we forget. First we went to the dress store to find dresses. While I was looking at a dress I saw Tasha looking around with Dimitri, but didn't take any to try on.
"Aren't you going to get a dress too?" I asked her.
She turned to me and smiled.
"No, I'm going to wear the dress you got me for Christmas."
"So you like it?"
"Yes it's beautiful. I tried it on just before I went to bed last night and I noticed that it brought out my eyes beautifully. I love it. I just need some jewelry and shoes."
"Well I better continue looking for a dress. It's hard to find the right dress with stomach."
After a few minutes I found a dress that fit perfectly around my belly and I liked it. It's plum purple and long. Lissa also found a dress too. It's an emerald green color. Next we went to find shoes. Lissa and I found silver heels and Tasha found black Mary Jane heels. I know what you're thinking, why would a pregnant woman where heels, right? Well despite being round, large, and not to mention the swollen ankles, I have very good balance so I can walk in heels without tripping and to solve the swollen ankle problem I'll be sitting most of the time while the others dance and mingle.
When we got back Lissa asked me to meet her at her room. I went to my room to drop some things off. I went to Lissa's room and knocked. She opened the door and let me in. With a little trouble I sat down on her bed.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked while rubbing my belly.
"Well… there are a couple things. You, Dimitri, and the babies, and the houses." She said
"Well, let's pick the topic of me, Dimitri, and the babies." I suggested.
"I wanted to know if you told Dimitri yet."
"I haven't. Why?"
"I think you should. After all he is the father."
"He may be the father but he left me. If he stayed just a little long he would have known." "But he didn't know so I think you should tell him before the babies come so you have someone to hold your hand while you're in labor. Don't you want that?"
"I do but, he doesn't love me. He loves Tasha. That's why he left me. He left me for her after that night."
"Maybe he doesn't love her. Have you thought of that? Maybe the reason why he left was because he wanted you to graduate the academy and focus on becoming a guardian without his distraction."
Before I could reply there was a knock at the door. Lissa went to open it. I saw Dimitri at the door. I wondered if he was listening in on our conversation. The doors of the dorms aren't exactly sound proof.
Lissa gestured for him to come in.
"You left this in the car." He said handing her a pharmacy bag. I saw a pregnancy test in it and it was used.
"Lissa, is there something you want to tell me?" I asked with one raised eyebrow. I learned how to do it now.
"Well…" she said shyly, "I'm pregnant."
"Does Christian know?" She nodded
"And you were going to tell me when?"
"I sort of forgot. Ummm… Surprise?"
I tried to get up but failed with my big round belly. I sighed frustrated.
"Here let me help." Said Dimitri. He offered his hand. I took it and he pulled me up.
"Thank You." I turned to Lissa. "I'm going to go. I'm a little hungry and get some lunch. We'll talk about the houses later."
"Alright." I walked out the door. When I was half way down the hall I heard Dimitri calling me. I stopped and waited for him to catch up.
"I would like to talk to you later if that's alright?" he asked
"Fine. Where?" "In my room or do you want to meet somewhere else?"
"That's fine when?"
"How about after dinner?"
"Okay. Bye." I turned and walked to the dining hall for lunch while he turned and went to his room.
After dinner I walked to Dimitri's room slowly. The baby is active today. The doctor told me I was having triplets. I don't feel like it cause I was researching and I'm at least supposed to be twice the size of my belly for triplets. Oh well I'll bring it up next time I see the doctor. I bet that I'm just having one beautiful baby boy. . He was kicking during dinner. I knocked on Dimitri's door but nobody answered. I heard the shower running and the door was unlocked so I just walked in. I shut the door and locked it. I sat on his bed, my body on the bed and my back against the head board. I stared out into space for a while until I heard to water shut off. The door opened and he walked out. He didn't see me until I said, "You shouldn't leave your door unlocked. It's not really smart."
He jumped and turned around. I giggled a little. I actually scared the big bad ass Dimitri.
"What are you doing in here?" he asked.
"Well it's after dinner and you did say to meet you here." I said.
"Could you turn around so I can get dressed?"
I don't understand why he asked me to turn around; I've seen him naked before. But I turned my head anyways.
He hesitated and put his shirt, boxers, and blue plaid pajama pants quickly. He sat down at my feet and towel dried his hair.
"So what did you want to talk about?" I asked curiosity.
"The baby." He turned and looked me in the eye and asked seriously, "Who is the father?"
