Every thing seemed to be in slow motion, the gun shot vibrated through the parking lot, the bulled pierced Jackov's neck, and he slumped to the floor, twitching a bit. For some reason I couldn't take my eyes from the scene in front of me. Slowly, I looked up at Dimitri, he was frozen on the spot, his hand hadn't moved, and he stared at the body of his father.

"Dimitri, they're coming," Ivan's soft, yet urgent voice snapped Dimitri and I from a trance.

In a monotone voice Dimitri gave orders,"Get her inside, quick."

Christian's body loosened up, and the pain reappeared, as he took me inside a white van. Why am I not surprised?

As he jumped in, my body kinda bounced upwards, and I felt as my hip didn't move with my body, causing me to moan in pain.

"You're going to break me in half," I gasped out.

He put me in a stretcher, Ivan hooking tubes into my body.

"Don't worry, I'm a trained paramedic," he said as he saw my face. I moaned again, in response.

"I can't breathe,"I whispered. He put on a breathing mask, and my breathing became easier.

I heard gunshots somewhere of in the distance, and Dimitri came into the van, sweating a bit. I felt everything in my hip break apart, Ivan hooked one more thing into my body. After a few seconds I realized what it was; pain medication. It spread through my body, bringing bliss to my hip, that had been currently on fire.

"Any better?" Ivan asked. I managed to nod, before the pain medication took me into its darkness.

I expected to wake up to pure whiteness, instead I woke up to sapphire blue walls, decorated with black circles, it was a really big room, with three doors, painted black, there was a huge mirror too, in front of the bed I was lying in. The bed was huge, probably a king size, the sheets were made of silk, and were black, the comforter was silver, and the bed had thin black curtains.

I was still hooked to a bunch on tubes, my heart monitor beeping every once in a while, as i searched the room further, I met a pair blue eyes. What's up with blue?

"Ahh! Christian you scared me!" I exclaimed, while he chuckled.

"Sorry."

I rolled my eyes, "Where am I?"

"Dimitri's apartment, in his room, as you can see blue is his favorite color,"he said. Blue was favorite color too, not that I was going to say anything.

"No tv?" I asked, a little upset.

He laughed, taking a black remote from next to me, he pressed a button and from the foot of the bed, a screen started to surface.

"You're a smart cookie,"he commented as he started to walk away.

"Wait!"I half yelled, the movement cause me to move, and although in medication I still felt a slight flare of pain.

"What?"he asked.

"Don't leave," I pleaded. I honestly didn't want to stay alone.

He nodded and took a seat by my bed.

"Where's Dimitri?" I asked. I had to admit, I'd been hoping it was him next to me.

"He's out, recruiting men," I winced as I remember what had happened.

"How long have I been out?"

"A day," he answered.

"How much did I miss?" was it possible that Jackov was dead? If so, were our rpoblems over.

I highly doubted it, after all Dimitri wouldn't be recruiting men if that were the case.

"I don't know how, but that asshole is still alive, and Rose, Dimitri's afraid for you," his tone implied he was too.

"You don't know Jackov like we do, and his looking for blood, who's ever."

I closed my eyes, why was this happening? Why couldn't I just keep my damn legs closed?

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

Christian looked shocked at my words.

"It's not your fault, and don't ever let Dimitri heard you say that,"he reprimanded me. I didn't want to fight, so I agreed with him.

"Oh, here," he said handing me a laptop.

"Dimitri said you could buy anything online, for you or the um, baby."

It was funny how no one could wrap their heads around me being pregnant, i couldn't do it either. It seemed so surreal, only a few months ago I was planning on going to Harvard, instead I'm running away from two Mobsters, trying to save my life and the one of the baby inside me.

My little package.
