Chapter 8

Dimitri looked at me in shock. I bet he wasn't expecting that. Right now I was so upset I didn't care about what I said right now. I got up to leave. I couldn't stand being in the same room with him right now. I just confessed my heart out to him but didn't mean to. I got up and stepped towards the door. He caught my wrist holding me back. I couldn't look at him right now, so I looked at the floor.

"Roza, look at me." He pleaded.

I did. I stared into his eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it from me until you couldn't any longer?" he asked.

"I did it because I didn't want you to come back to me just because I was pregnant with your baby. I wanted you to come back because you loved me, but I guess my hopes were crushed because you never came back until now. But then again it's to guard Tasha while she's here to visit Christian." I said

I tried to take my hand out of his grip but couldn't.

"Actually Tasha's moving here now to teach class for the moroi that want to fight, so that means I'm staying."

"You're still staying because she's staying."

"No. I was going to quit being her guardian and come back anyway. The whole time I was away, I kept thinking of you, wondering what you were doing, how you were, where you were, and if you were thinking of me."

"I was thinking of you every moment of my life since you left. When I found out I was pregnant I was happy because I would have a part of you with me."

"Roza, there was something I wanted to ask you before I decided to leave." He pulled me over to the bed and let go of my wrist. He took a small box out of his night stand and got down on one knee.

"Rosemarie Hathaway, will you do me the honor of marrying me and becoming my wife even though I caused you so much pain?"

I was shocked to say the least. I would have never guessed this would happen. I quickly made up my mind and said,

"No matter how much you caused me pain, I never stopped loving you and probably never will. So my answer to your question is… Dimitri Belikov, I would be delighted to become your wife." I smiled.

He smiled and slid the ring onto my finger and stood up. He took me into his arms and kissed me. I pulled away to admire my ring. It was simple but beautiful and it sparkled in the light. I love it. The baby seemed happy too because now he was happily kicking away at my stomach. Dimitri put his hands over my belly to feel him kick. He smiled when he felt them and kissed me.

"We have to move your things into my room since it's the biggest in the academy."

I looked at him and smiled happily.

"We will tomorrow."

Since I didn't feel like going to my room to get my pj's, Dimitri let me borrow one of his shirts. I didn't bother to wear any pants except my panties.

He led me to the bed and helped me lay down. He went to the other side and slid in beside me and wrapped his arm protectively around my swollen belly and we fell asleep together.

I woke up the next morning to the light of the setting sun streaming through our window. I felt Dimitri's arm tighten around me. I turned to look at his face and smiled.

"Good morning, Beautiful." He said.

"Good morning to you too, Handsome." I said back.

"So what are we going to do today?" he asked.

"Well, I guess we're moving my things to your room and going to breakfast to find Lissa. She wanted to talk to me about the houses she's having built for us here. Also I think I need to go to the doctor. If I am having twins, which I doubt, I should be bigger than I am now." I answered.

"Alright. You want to join me in the shower?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

I sat up and stretched. My shirt rode up a little exposing my belly a little.

"I'll go start the water." I said rolling my eyes.

Once we got out of the shower, we got dressed. We headed to the dining hall hand in hand. I looked down at our hands. I could see my ring glimmering in the light. Wait until Lissa finds out. She'll be shocked and excited that we made up. We go our food and went to the normal table we sat at with our friends. I took a bite out of my breakfast and the suddenly Lissa let out an excited squeal.

"Oh my gosh! Rose, where did you get that ring?" She almost screamed. By now everyone at the table including Tasha looked at the ring on my finger.

"Well, Dimitri and I made up last night and he proposed and I accepted." I said happily.

Tasha had a shocked face and everyone else was happy for me.

"Which reminds me; Tasha I quit as being your guardian." Dimitri said.

Tasha looked furious.

"What! How could you leave me? I need to be protected!" She screamed.

"I don't know. Let's see you are a moroi that has magic and can defend yourself and rose is a dhampir that's 7 months pregnant and has no magical powers. I think rose needs me more." He told her.

"But…but Dimitri, I'm pregnant with your child. You can't leave to raise this child alone are you?" She asked desperately. Everyone knew it wasn't true or else she would have been yelling it out to the world and telling Christian.

"We never had sex with each other ever Tasha so I know it's a lie. I know you were fucking another dhampir to get pregnant by him. After you would seduce me into your bed and then the next day you would tell me that you were pregnant with my child. Wasn't that your plan Tasha?"

"You figured me out." She admitted. "Fine if I can't have you, I swear it on my life that no one else can!" with that she stormed off.

"Christian…" Lissa said worried.

"I'll keep a close eye on her in case she tries something."

They all continued eating.
