Giz13 - no we weren't crazy, we just didn't want to be there stuck in Minneapolis while it was icy.

Well we had no school today, but that means we have an extra day of school, i think since i'll be qualified as a senior, i should just skip and go to the lake. [ that is if i ever get my swimsuit back from the hotel]

Well anywho here's a chapter from Dimitri's POV and i finally got this done. Well after getting an iced coffee from Micky D's and the second book from the house of night series [seriously its addicting, and i don't know why]

Dimitri's POV

I was lying new to what had to be the most beautiful creature on the planet. I was stroking her long beautiful silky brown hair. She was fast asleep and I could only wish I was able to join her in her dreams. My hands moved down her sides, over her beautiful dhampir curves, and ending on her stomach. There was a bump on there and I felt that powerful kick. It was small and short, but it was a powerful kick that came form our small child that was still growing inside her stomach.

She was going on a little over six months, and every single day I looked at her and I could see her strength. I saw her strength grow everyday. It was hard for her, the baby was powerful. It kicked her all the time but according to Mikhail it was normal, especially after she would eat something or even if she had sugar. It was like after anyone eats something or even right after you eat sugar you get that sudden little rush of energy. He said that it was the same concept.

For some reason instinct made me fascinated about her bump and it caused fascination for both Rose and I about the baby and the future. In the back of my mind I always thought that a portion of the baby would be Strigoi but I never wanted to admit that. I didn't want to admit that. But there had to be away for this child to be conceived through two dhampir's but the problem was when we did it, I was a Strigoi.

Either way I wanted this child, Strigoi or not, to be happy. Either way we were going to love it, no matter what it was. We had created this child and it was created out of our love. This child was something that meant a lot to us. I somehow had a feeling that maybe, just maybe, I was led down this path at would eventually have me become a father and I guess it was right. I had that chance before with Tasha, but I couldn't do it. Not with her, sure Tasha was nice and pretty. But my heart was aching for Rose. I knew every second I was away, it would result in me wanting her more and more.

She had tried the same thing I did by going out with a friend of hers , Mason, but she wasn't really into him. Then Tasha asked me to be her guardian, but then also something more. She wanted us to have kids. But I couldn't do that. So I told her, no.

Rose and I finally came to the conclusion that we could never be split up and our love was meant to be, no one could change that.

Now Rose and I were counting down the days before we were going to be parents. Mikhail said the baby might come sooner than expected and we were supposed to be ready for anything. The room was ready for the baby and we even found out what we are going to have. We had found this out through one of her check ups.

The picture was in a small frame that sat right next to our bed. We still couldn't believe that we were having a baby, and now we were having a baby boy. Names were something that wasn't high on our priority list but it was still on it. We had narrowed it down to a few, most of them were Russian names and we had decided to name him the traditional Russian way.

Rose was very restless tonight. She usually sleeps very well, considering she was almost seven months pregnant, but tonight she was tossing and turning. She was quietly talking in her sleep, that meant that she must be having a nightmare. It was like she was having one of those nightmares that Lissa had been having.

Sometimes that bond between them was helpful, but lately it's been wearing her out. Rose could have that, especially not now. I stroked her cheek, trying to calm her down and sooth her. She sounded panicked, it sounded like someone was being chased from someone. I nudged her gently, begging her to wake up.

"Roza...."

But she didn't wake up or even answer.

"Roza....Wake up. It's a nightmare."

She still didn't wake up. Instead she began to fling her arms around her. She was trying to protect herself, but from what? One arm was wrapped around her bulging belly, and the other was stretched out like she was trying to ward off something.

"No...no you can't have him.....no he's MY BABY." She was screaming, her voice sounded more protective and strong.

By now I was sitting up in bed trying my hardest to wake her up. I rested my hands on her shoulders and shook her gently, trying not to hurt her. I was screaming at her to wake up, I added pleading into my voice hoping she would respond to that better.

"Roza please, wake up."

Her eyes shot open and she was panting. Her body was covered in a layer of sweat, she was visibly shaken. But this was from a nightmare?

"Oh Dimitri," She curled up in my chest and began to sob quietly. She looked really fragile now and she would never have herself look fragile or vulnerable. "it was horrible. They were in it again. They wanted the baby."

I rubbed circles in her back again, trying to calm her down. "Roza you know we will never let that happen. It was all just a dream."

"But how could it be, it looked and felt so real."

"Roza, it was just a dream. Your pregnant and stressed, just calm down you don't need this. It's not good for you or the baby."

"Dimitri, do you promise to be here when I wake up?"

Finally she would go to sleep. She need it desperately because this ordeal had been happening for the past week now and it was draining her of energy. "Roza you know I will be here when you wake up. I will always be here for you and the baby. I'm not going to let anything happen to either of you.

She knew that. I laid back on to the bed and Rose rested her head on my chest. I knew she felt safe and hopefully she would sleep. Her breathing became slow and steady, which meant that she was sleeping. I stroked her hair and kept her close to me.

The one thing that was always common in her dreams were the 'they' that she referred to. The parts about where ever she was or who was there varied. Most times it was her and there was a 'they' that had always appeared. She would sometimes be pregnant or there would be a blood covered baby that was crying in the distance. She once said that I was holding it and I had these horrible glowing crimson eyes.

She said I was laughing evilly and talking about 'awakening' her. I would never curse her to this. Honestly if it wasn't for Mikhail, I would probably running out there lose killing innocent humans and hunting down Moroi. But I didn't I kept my humanity.

The 'they' sounded like a group of Strigoi elders that were hell bent on keeping the Strigoi populations high. They wanted the strongest people to join them. The strongest ones were usually dhampir guardians that have killed many Strigoi. They had wanted me because I had killed more than five Strigoi, I had heard that they wanted Rose and her mother to be turned because of the kills they both had made. Janine had killed many Strigoi and Rose had killed a lot to, considering her age and the weapons she had access to, and also because she was Janine's daughter they wanted her even more then.

They baby was going to be very powerful, it was already powerful and my son wasn't even born yet. I wasn't lying when I said I would protect her and the baby, I meant it. I wanted him to grow up and be happy, not be judged and killed because he was a Strigoi. No, no he wouldn't be a Strigoi, Rose would never be a Strigoi.
