Chapter 9

"Lisa! Lisa!" I screamed. She kept shaking relentlessly.

"Lisa! Wake up! Don't do this to us! Please stop!" Christian said his voice filled with pain. She actually stopped by the time he finished his sentence, but her eyes where still shut and she didn't more. Not even flinch. We all stared at her. Dimitri had his hands around my waist holding me on to him which would've been nice if we weren't in such predicament.

"Rose…let's go for a walk" Dimitri stated.

"What? No! I have to stay here until she wakes up!"

"Christian will be here and he'll call us if anything changes." I was ready to reprimand him on this but then I turned around. He seemed to be telling me that there was something urgent he had to tell me. So I calmed down and followed him outside.

"You know she might be pregnant or … never mind"

"What do you mean never mind?"

"I mean in the human world they have this thing called seizures but I have never seen it in vampires. We have to get her to a doctor as fast as we can"

"I hope she's pregnant" I answered and he nodded. Out of nowhere tears started dripping from my eyes. Dimitri put his arms around me and kissed my forehead.

"Roza it's going to be okay. Don't worry" But even that didn't help it.

I stood out of his embrace whipped away my tears, "let's go inside"

Lisa looked better, she looked more like… well Lisa.

"Hey Rose" she breathed.

I turned around to Dimitri and Christian "Guys can I speak to her alone for five minutes?" they both nodded and left.

"Liz I need you to tell me the truth. Is it possible that you could be pregnant?" I asked hoping that she would answer yes.

"It's a possibility but we always use protection. So I don't see how that is possible"

"Honey, I hope you are. I'm going to run to a pharmacy and pick up some stuff. I'll be right back" She nodded and I gave her a hug.

Chapter 10

I went to the nearest pharmacy -which by the way was at least three miles away- with Dimitri. He insisted in coming don't ask me why. Back at the house we left Eddie in charge of our two moroi's. Dimitri and I were standing right in front of the pregnancy test aisle. We just stood there, and I think I know what he was thinking. I know he wants kids, he's always wanted at least one but thanks to the Damphir infertility... well we can't.

"Dimitri?" I said my voice a whisper.

"Yes" he said turning to face me.

"You know if you still want to have kids-" He cut me off.

"Roza don't even think about telling me what your about to say" He answered as always he knew what I had in mind. We always had sort of telepathic minds in a way. I mean he can't read my mind, but it's like we have a bond, not like Lisa and I because that only works one way, but one in which we both know what the other is feeling or thinking.

"but-

"But nothing. I love you. I don't need to go somewhere else just because we can't have kids. The kids yeah it would be a plus but we can't and that isn't a problem" He said and then kissed my forehead,

"So which one should we get?" I asked,

"Uhm I don't just get one of each I guess" He answered

And so I did, the were at least 10 or 15. Once we got to the cashier the lady looked at all the test, and then looked at me and Dimitri.

"Aren't you underage?" She asked me after she had everything packed in a bag.

"Excuse me?" Both Dimitri and I said at the same time.

"You Miss, you know you should tell your parents that your prego" Okay Okay. This isn't normal who does she think she is?

"Lady I don't know you but one I'm not underage, two these aren't for us, and three if I am or not is none of your business. Now hand my the bag" She did. "Thank You"

Once we were out of the pharmacy I stopped Dimitri and said, "I didn't know people were so nosy" and we started walking again.

"Uhm remember back in Saint Vladimir?" He laughed. I was so happy to hear that laugh of his. When he was Strigoi his laugh was cold, and scary, now it was warm and I Liked how wrapped around me. I enjoy every time he laughs as if it were the last time.

"Yea. No I meant people that don't even know you"

"Yes it happens every once in a while. How come you didn't scream or tell her something more Rose like?" he asked.

"Hey! I have learned to control myself" I said humorously

"That's true I wonder how you learned that"

"I had a good teacher" I said as I turned to face him, he did the same and we kissed.

"You know..." I said pulling back, "I'm surprised we haven't encountered any Strigoi yet"

"Why would we? We've only been out two or three times" He said looking for any sign of danger.

"That coming from the man who is always looking for danger everywhere?

"You're right there hasn't been even one, and Las Vegas is known for having a lot of them" He approved what I said.

Maybe just maybe, "What if they got scared since the lost so many of them the day of your transformation?"

"No Strigoi don't act as a group. They act solo" He said the darkness returning to his face. He was thinking about what he did as a Strigoi. I hated when he did that. He won't get over what he did. I mean he didn't even do it. Well he did kill a lot of innocent people, but he didn't have choice he was Strigoi he lost all control of his body. The closest I can relate that to is an out of body experience.

"Dimka..." I said and he looked shocked when I said his nickname in Russian. Probably because I once said I didn't like it and that it was weird. I knew I would get his attention saying it.

"It wasn't you! You need to get over it. I mean yes you killed a lot of innocent people, but it wasn't you. And what matters is that you aren't doing that anymore. That you aren't killing people anymore, that you won't ever do that again, and no matter what I will always be here for you. I will help you when you need my help. We will work together " Like a couple is supposed to be. Like we used to be and still are.

"Roza I love you. I love you. I love you" His expression serious and soft at the same time.

"I love you too." He kissed me. I broke out of it because my nausea hit me.

"They're here. I can feel it" I whispered. Speaking about the devil.

"Who? The strigoi" I just nodded he gave me a stake and took out his.

"I didn't know you carried two"

"Only lately" He answered flatly
