Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't updated in for ages, but I've just moved houses and started school again so things have just been totally crazy. And I've decided to put my other story *ON HOLD* so I'll have way more time for focusing on this story and updating more often for you guys! I have heaps of ideas for I Never so I hope everyone enjoys it and please review! I really appreciate it! PS. I'm not a doctor so some of the medical stuff in this chapter may not be correct. If not, PM me and I'll fix it :)

...

This whole pregnancy thing's gonna be a blast.

It's been about a month since we found out I'm pregnant. I'm 7 weeks into the pregnancy and today we're going to get my first ultrasound. We'll hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time. I'm actually really excited.

After breakfast, Dimitri and I tell Lissa, Christian, Eddie and Adrian that I have a special training session scheduled and that we probably won't be back until lunch time.

Dimitri and I decided that we're going to keep this pregnancy a secret from our friends and family until after the first ultrasound, so we'll probably tell everyone tonight at dinner, maybe even at lunch. I can't wait, because Lissa can tell that I'm keeping something from her, and I think she feels left out that I haven't told her yet.

We also decided that Dr Olendzki should be my doctor throughout the pregnancy so that if something goes wrong or we have any questions, she's close by.

As we walk over to the clinic, I can feel the stares of some of the other students on me. I'm not showing very much yet, but Dimitri managed to get me out of training without revealing our little secret to the Guardians and Kirova, so people are a little bit suspicious.

When we enter the clinic, a wave of nausea rolls over me as I catch a whiff of the strong cleaning products. I resist the urge to puke, instead swallowing hard and not moving. Dimitri watches me with a questioning look on his face.

Once the nausea passes, I give him a small smile and squeeze his hand.

There's no one in the waiting room so we don't have long to wait. After my first check up I think Dr Olendzki figured out that Dimitri is the father of my baby, so we don't bother to hide anything like holding hands or whatever from her when we walk into the examination room.

"So, Rose, how are you feeling?" She asks me.

"Um, okay, I guess. I've been getting a little bit of morning sickness, and I'm hungry pretty much all the time. Anything else?" I ask Dimitri, just in case I've missed something.

"You forgot cravings," he tells me. To Dr Olendzki he says, "Rose is always craving these strange food combinations that I've never heard of. Yesterday she wanted fried onions with chocolate sauce."

She chuckles at this and I blush. "Hey, Comrade, it's all for your baby, too, so don't complain," I tease.

"Don't worry, Roza, I'm not," he says, his voice soft.

I smile at him, but then Dr Olendzki breaks the moment by saying, "Well, then, let's have a look at this baby."

I lie down on the examination table and pull my shirt up past my stomach. Dr Olendzki walks out of the room, and a few minutes later she walks back in with some sort of machine that I can only assume is the ultrasound thingy.

She squirts some cold gel on my stomach and I shiver. Dimitri holds both of my hands in his while he sits in a chair beside the bed.

"You seem to be a bit more bloated than usual at this stage in your pregnancy," she remarks.

I glance at Dimitri and he shrugs.

Dr Olendzki moves the stick thing over my stomach a bit before stopping and pointing to the screen.

"Here, see, this is your baby," she points out a small shape on the screen. A big smile spreads across my face, and I feel tears in my eyes. Dimitri looks a bit teary-eyed too.

We can hear the sound of a heartbeat through the machine, but Dr Olendzki is frowning slightly.

"What's wrong?" I ask, worried, as she moves the stick over my stomach some more. She stops again and a small smile spreads across her face.

"Nothing's wrong. But there is something I wasn't expecting." Before I can say anything, she continues. "There's a second heartbeat. You're having twins!"

My jaw drops and the tears start falling. "Really? Oh my god, that's amazing!"

I look at Dimitri and he has a huge smile on his face. I grin back at him and he kisses me lightly on the forehead. "Don't cry, Roza," he jokes. "This is great news!" He blinks away some tears forming in his eyes, and I want to pull him into a huge hug. I can't, though, because of this disgusting gel on my stomach, so I settle for squeezing his hand again.

"Well that certainly explains why you're more bloated than normal for someone as far along as you in their pregnancy," Dr Olendzki says. "Rose, you're going to have to be more cautious about what you do, and you have to make sure you take all of the vitamins I prescribed you last time you were here. Twins need double the nutrients."

"Don't worry, I have been, and I'll take extra care now," I tell her as she hands me a paper towel to wipe the gel off my stomach with.

I pull my shirt down and swing my legs off the bed. Dimitri lifts me off the bed and sets me down, his hands remaining on my waist. We both have huge smiles on our faces.

Dr Olendzki hands me another prescription for some more vitamins, and we head out of the clinic and back to my dorm.

When we get inside my room, Dimitri pulls me to him in a big hug. "I can't believe we're having twins," he whispers in my ear.

I wrap my arms tightly around his neck and whisper back, "I know. I love you so much."

"I love you too, Roza," he replies, kissing my hair.

We stand there, together, for who knows how long, before my stomach grumbling separates us. Dimitri chuckles. "Yeah, yeah, I know. You're hungry, stop grumbling now," I tell my stomach, which makes Dimitri start laughing, properly laughing.

I smile and kiss him on the lips before pulling him towards the door, glancing at the clock on the way out. 12:24. Gee, time really does fly when you're having fun.

At the cafeteria, people are crowding the tables, and I scan the room for Liss and my friends. When I spot them I pull Dimitri over with me.

"Hey, guys!" Lissa says cheerfully, but I can see the hurt in her eyes that I still haven't told her yet.

"Hey, Liss," I reply, sitting down next to her. Dimitri doesn't sit down and instead heads over to the buffet, piling a whole bunch of food on a tray. He comes back over with a tray full of fruit, sandwiches, some other healthy foods, and, thanks god, donuts.

I snatch a donut off the tray and he grins at me. Christian raises an eyebrow at me, a smirk on his face. "Hungry, are we, Rose?"

"Yeah," I reply, not saying anything else.

When the bell goes signalling the end of lunch, I say, "Hey guys, tonight before dinner can you all come up to my room? I have something to tell you."

Lissa looks relieved that I'm finally going to tell her what's going on, but also a little pissed that she has to find out with the rest of our friends.

They all agree and we head off to our classes. Dimitri joins the other guardians at the back of the room of my Guardian Theory class.

I tune out for most of the lesson, and the bell at the end of class startles me. By the time I finally stand up, everyone else has filed out of the classroom and Dimitri is standing beside my desk, eyebrows raised.

"Are you okay?" He asks me.

"Yeah, just tired," I reply as we walk out of the classroom and to my next class that I have with Lissa. Dimitri stands at the back of the room with the other guardians and i take my seat next to Lissa.

"Hey," I say.

"Hey," she replies, not sounding very happy.

"Liss, I'm sorry that I haven't been telling you, um, stuff lately. It's just, Dimitri and I decided that we'd wait before we told anyone." I try and explain without giving anything away.

"Dimitri? What does he have to do with it? And whatever it is, you couldn't even tell your best friend, Rose?" She snaps, and I wonder if there's something wrong with her that's making her act like this.

"Dimitri has everything to do with it," I whisper fiercely. "And I wanted to tell you, but we promised. I could see that it was hurting you, but, Liss, I just couldn't break my promise. You get that, right?"

She studies me silently for a moment before replying, "Yeah, I get that, Rose. It just hurt, you know? I felt like you didn't want to tell me."

"I'm sorry, Liss. I won't keep anything from you in the future, okay? But don't worry, the secret's definitely worth the wait." I wink at her just before the teacher walks into the room and starts the lesson.

...

"Roza, don't worry. It will all work, out, I promise," Dimitri tries to reassure me, pulling me onto his lap.

"Are you sure? What if Eddie tells Kirova? 'Cause he wasn't totally chill about finding out we're together, so how's he gonna react when he finds out I'm pregnant?!" I am totally freaking out about telling our friends now. What if someone accidentally spills our secret?! We'll be so dead!

"Roza," Dimitri says in a listen-to-me voice. "No one will do that. Not even Eddie. Or Adrian."

"Oh my gosh! Adrian! Don't even get me started on him!" I exclaim. "He's even worse than Eddie!" Before I can say anymore, though, a knock on the door startles us both. "Come in!" I yell and exchange a nervous look with Dimitri.

Lissa, Christian and Eddie file into my room. "Hey," Eddie says, looking slightly awkward.

"Hi," I reply, trying to figure out why he's being so awkward. Then I remember that I'm sitting on Dimitri's lap. "Oh," I say and move next to Dimitri instead of on him.

Christian and Lissa join Dimitri and I on my bed, but Eddie chooses to sit on the floor instead.

We all sit in silence as we wait for Adrian. Finally, after 5 minutes of incredibly awkward silence, there's a knock on the door. "Come in," we all chorus, and Adrian walks in.

When he sees us all waiting for him he says, "Oh, sorry, I tried to be early."

"Yeah, well, that kind of failed," I snap. Then feel extremely bad and apologise, "Sorry, I didn't mean that." He gives me a funny look and I groan inwardly. Stupid hormones.

"So what did you want to tell us, then, Rose?" Lissa asks.

I glance at Dimitri and open my mouth to say something, but nothing comes out. Dimitri, seeing that I'm having trouble getting the words out, says, "Rose and I have some really amazing news." He pauses and Christian raises an eyebrow. Lissa is practically on the edge of my bed, about to fall off in anticipation of what he's about to say. "Rose is pregnant!"

Lissa's jaw practically drops to the ground. "But how?!" She exclaims, obviously confused.

"Dimitri is the father and we were able to conceive because of the bond, Liss," I explain, a huge smile on my face. I'm smiling a lot today. "And," I continue, "We're having twins! We just found out today!"

"Oh my gosh! Rose, that's amazing! I'm so happy for you!" Lissa practically lunges for me and I have to untangle myself from her after a minute so I can breathe.

"Thanks, Liss. It means a lot," I tell her.

Eddie looks a bit dumbstruck but he eventually snaps out of it and gives me a quick hug. "Congratulations. I'm happy for the two of you."

Adrian gives me a longer-than-necessary hug and says, "So, Little Dhampir. You're gonna be a mum."

"Yeah," I can't wipe the grin off of my face, and neither can Dimitri.

We all talk for a while before Lissa clears her throat and says, "Hey, guys, Christian and I have news too." We all fall silent and I raise an eyebrow at her. She gives me a happy smile. "We're having a baby!"

"What?! You're pregnant too?! Oh my god! Liss this is so awesome!" I screech, wrapping her in an even tighter hug than the one she gave me earlier. "So how far along are you?" I ask her excitedly.

"6 weeks. What about you?"

"OH. EM. GEE! I'm just at 7 now!" I pull Dimitri to me and hug him tightly too. "Liss we're gonna be mums at the same time!"

"I know! I can't wait!" She has a big smile on her face and Christian is grinning up at her. I realise now that they're actually really good for each other, and I'm so happy for them. "Oh my gosh! We need to go shopping, Rose!" Dimitri and Christian groan in unison and Lissa and I roll our eyes at each other.

"Oh, get over it," I say happily, and continue chatting to Lissa about all things babies and how we're going to spoil our little nieces and nephews so much.

Much later, when everyone has left and I'm snuggled in bed with Dimitri, I say quietly, "I can't believe how everything has turned out. We're having twins, Lissa and Christian are having a baby too, and I haven't even graduated yet. It's all so crazy."

"I know, Roza. But remember that no matter what happens, good or bad, we'll always have each other. You know that, don't you?"

"Of course I do," I'm silent for a moment and yawn loudly. "I'm tired. Let's go to sleep."

Dimitri wraps his arms tightly around me and makes small circles on my tiny baby bump. "I love you, Roza."

"I love you too," I reply, closing my eyes and instantly falling into a deep sleep.

...
