AN: I had pretty much given up on this story but I was thinking about it the other day and decided pick it back up.

Chapter 7

After my friends found out the news, I decided the only way I was gonna get through trials and everything without losing the baby was Alberta. She might tell me just to sit out, but if I had to do that to protect the baby, I would.

I stopped for a little food of course, okay a lot but my appetite was returning, and I was now eating for two so I should be eating more.

As I got to Alberta's door I suddenly felt nervous. I mean she was like a mother to me but I didn't want her to judge me. My own mother would do that plenty when she found out. But telling Alberta was the right choice, she could help me.

I knocked and was told to enter. I started sweating immediately and had no idea how I was gonna be able to tell her.

"Oh Rose, I just heard about your recent visit to the clinic, and I agree with the doctor that you should take a week off. And you need to take better care of yourself, okay?" She started

"A-a-actually Alberta, there is something else I need to tell you." I stuttered. She just sat there expectantly, so I took a deep breath and blurted "I'm pregnant" and started crying

She looked shocked but then got up and gave me a hug. "It's gonna be okay Rose, I promise."

"Howww could it ever be okay? I'm not going to graduate and I'm only eighteen and the baby's father left me!" I blubbered. Actually I was becoming hysterical.

"Rose calm down right now," Alberta said firmly. "First, you will take your trials as soon as possible so you are early enough that it won't do damage to the baby. More importantly you have the support of your friends and family to help you through the tough times."

"I can take my trials early?" I said "Yes we've made exceptions before. You will take them this Friday. And I will supervise your training this week so you don't overdo it and so you learn to protect your stomach." I thought for a minute and said "Thank you Alberta, you're doing so much for me and I don't deserve it. Thank you so much!"

"Rose wait, I have one question. And your answer won't change any of our arrangement. So, is Dimitri the father?" she asked.

"Yes" I said quietly, looking down. "How did you know?"

"The way you looked at each other. It was obvious you loved each other." Alberta answered simply. "Emphasis on loved." I said bitterly.

"I don't know why he left you and I'm angry at him for doing so but I think he deserves to know." She said the last part slowly.

"You know him as well as I do, he always has to do what's right. He'll come running back here because I'm pregnant but in a few years he'll resent me for ruining his career, his life. I don't want that. But I can't keep this from him. So I'll tell him." I decided.

After making plans to train tomorrow I left Alberta's office.

On my way back to my dorm I thought about how hard it had been to tell my friends and Alberta. But telling Dimitri would be 10 million time harder. F my life
