Chapter 6

I spent the day lying in bed. If it had been any other day I would love that I could sleep and be lazy. But because I was forced into it, the whole concept kind of lost its sparkle and I hated it.. God! This was so boring. I laid on my bed counting the cracks on my ceiling for over half an hour before I finally succumbed to sleep. I was awakened by the bell signaling the end of classes for the day. A few minutes after, I heard a knock on my door. It was probably Dimitri so I didn't get up but the person kept knocking. I was hoping that if I didn't answer he would think I'm asleep and go away.

"Rose, it's me." Lissa said through the bond. I sprang of my bed and opened the door. Lissa jumped on me and gave me a hug. Then she took a step back and looked at me head to toe. "He was right." She said softly. I looked at her like she was mental. And because of the darkness from spirit, sometimes she was.

"What? Who was right?" I asked.

"Adrian, he said your aura was weird." She said astounded. Wow Adrian was right for once.

"What's weird about it?" I asked worried. First I'm sick all morning then my aura's weird. Dear lord, please don't make me have some deadly disease, I'm too young to die.

"Well, two things. First your aura is coming from the center of your stomach and second it's double ringed, and that doesn't happen unless your-" she sucked in a breath quickly, as she realized something.

"Liss- Lissa what is it" she just looked at me dumbfounded.

"Have you had sex recently?" She asked softly.

"Um-yes why what does that have anything to do with it? WAIT, are you trying to tell me that I'm pregnant? Because that is ridiculous. "

I asked my mouth wide open

"I think so" she said timidly.

"That's impossible; I've only had sex with a damphir!" I screeched.

"Well maybe it's because you're shadow-kissed. There so much crazy stuff that's come with this I'm not surprised that your genes are messed up.

"Thanks." I said sarcastically.

"So who was it?" she asked curiously.

I took a deep breath, I should tell her. Let's just hope she didn't go ballistic.

"You have to promise you won't be mad and keep an open mind." I told.

"Of course I won't be mad. Unless it was Christian, WAIT it's not Christian is it?" She asked with fear in fear in her eyes. I started laughing. Really? Christian?

"Thant would never happen! Number one, he's your boyfriend. Number two, Eww just eww, even if he was the last guy on the planet." I said, shuddering. She raised an eyebrow.

"I take offense to that, but whatever. Who is it?" She nearly screamed.

"Um, It's Dimitri," I mumbled softly "what I didn't hear you." She said.

"Dimitri!" I said louder. Her mouth dropped and eyes widened in surprise.

"What!" she screeched. And then she started babbling. "Did he force himself on you? Was it your first time? Did it hurt? I will kill him if he hurt you!" She said as she started for the exit.

"Wait!" I said as I wedged myself between her and he door. "Don't, it was totally consensual." She looked at me trying to see if I was telling the truth. "We're in love, we have been for a while, and we gave in to each other that night at the cabin. It was my first time and I love him more than anything. Look at my aura and see if I'm telling the truth." I saw her face soften as she looked and through the bond I felt that she believed me.

"Wow" she said "that was your first time?" she said abounding skeptical, damn rumors.

"You can't believe everything you hear Liss, especially if it's about me." I could feel through the bond that she felt sorry that she ever listened to those accusations.

"So what are you going to do about the baby? When are you going to tell Dimitri? Oh my gosh! I can't wait! I'm going to be an aunt!" she said excitedly jumping up and down.

"Hold on a minute." I said putting my hands up to stop her. "How do we know I even am pregnant, I mean if there had been a way for damphirs to have children with each other, don't you think they would have figured it out by now?" I explained

"I guess we- I mean you should go to Dr. Olendski. She could do a blood test and tell you for sure." She said, but it was obvious in her expression that she was sure I was pregnant. But I was still skeptical. I really didn't want to go to the nurse, but I guess that finding out now would be a hell of a lot better than waiting for Dimitri to drag me there. But I really didn't want to find out alone.

"Will you come with me?" I asked her with puppy dog eyes. She rolled her eyes at that.

"Of course I will." She said giddily "let's go now, its dinner time so no one should be there."

"Ok, let's go find out if I have a damphir miracle inside of me." I said only somewhat sarcastically. We headed to the nurse and Lissa starting babbling again. She was talking about baby names. Really? I rolled my eyes and kept walking.
