SORRY. I know I have taken forever to update. I haven't been very well and I have barely been able to look at my laptop. I know this chapter isn't very long, but I thought it was the right place to stop it. I hope you enjoy, I am sure this is the chapter you have been waiting for from the beginning. R&R thankyou!

Chapter Ten…

I woke up the next morning feeling strangely happy. My talk with Christian had helped me a lot and it felt nice to talk to someone apart from Adrian about my problems. I went down to breakfast and sat down where everyone else was seated. I smiled genuinely when I sat down. "Hey guys." I greeted them, before stealing a donut of Eddie's plate. "Thanks Eddie." I said winking at him.

Dimitri had noticed my genuine smile, and smiled genuinely back at me. I couldn't help but notice how it lit up his face and made him look even more godly. I chastised myself and continued to eat. I might be feeling slightly better, but I still hated him for leaving me.

I couldn't help but notice Christian glaring at Dimitri the whole time. It was a wonder no one else noticed. I couldn't decide whether to laugh or glare at him. I decided to glare and hope that he stopped, before someone did notice. It took about a minute of glaring at Christian before he even noticed. When he did, he looked confused. I turned to look at Dimitri then back at him, and he kind of nodded with realisation in his eyes. He stopped glaring at Dimitri. For about a minute. I think he was doing it subconsciously.

When me and Eddie had finished our breakfast, we got up and headed for classes. They went by in a flash, and I went back to my room.

Not two minutes after I had laid down on the bed, there was knock on the door. "Come in!" I shouted. The door opened, and Dimitri walked in, looking very awkward. As soon as I saw him, I couldn't help the glare that spread onto my face. "What do you want?" I asked him in a harsh tone.

"Well, I came to ask you about something." He started unsurely. I gestured for him to continue, and he did. "Alberta asked me if I wanted to resume my position at the Academy permanently." He told me.

I froze in shock at so many points in that sentence. First of all, Alberta had asked him. Alberta who had been there for me, broken some rules by not telling Dimitri about my pregnancy and kept the fact he's the father a secret. She had asked him.

Second, he was telling me he had been asked to resume his position at the Academy, where I was going to be, permanently. When I had quite clearly shown I didn't want to be around him.

I decided to tackle the first issue to begin with. "Alberta asked you?" I questioned him incredulously.

He nodded, but I could tell he didn't understand why that was so shocking. "What is such a surprise about that?" He asked me.

"She knows." I told him.

He looked shocked. "About us?" He asked. "How?"

"She guessed." I said. Before he had time to question me any further on the topic, I moved onto my next point. "Why are you asking me? It's your decision." I said.

He sighed, and looked me in the eye. "Because I would be doing this to be with you. It is your decision. I don't want to stay here if all it's going to do is hurt you more. I want to come back to make you happy, not hate me even more." He said sincerely. His eyes broke the firm gaze they had on mine, and turned to the floor once more.

Rage bubbled inside me. "WHAT?" I screamed, jumping up off the bed and moving towards him. He flinched at my loud voice. "Why on Earth would you think I would want you to come back. You left me here, alone. You broke my heart when you left, and you know it. You think coming back makes it alright?" My voice had raised and raised throughout my rant, and was on full volume. I had also moved closer and closer so my face was right in front of his now. "Why would I want you to stay?" I whispered to him.

I stared into the pain-filled brown eyes gazing into mine intently. My face was right in front of his, and I was breathing heavily from all the shouting I had done. Before I knew what I was doing, we had both leaned in and crushed our lips together. The kiss was deep and passionate. It held so many things. It wasn't until now that I realised how long I had been waiting for this. I never wanted to let him go again.

I wrapped my arms around his neck as he tangled his hands in my hair. He pulled me closer towards him, deepening the kiss. I broke away for a second needing to breath. "Don't ever leave." I whispered against his lips.

"I wouldn't dream of it Roza." He said. I grinned. Roza. I hadn't heard his beautiful voice call me that for ages, boy did I miss it. In no time at all, I had pushed him down onto the bed. I kissed him again. If possible, there was even more power and lust in this kiss. Dimitri tugged at the bottom of my shirt and pulled it over my head, discarding it somewhere in the room.

No sooner had he done this, he stopped kissing me in an instant. He gasped. I looked at him confused, but he was staring at my stomach. He got out from under me, and sat opposite me on the bed. His hands reached out and touched my stomach. "Roza." He whispered. I looked up from my stomach to look into Dimitri's eyes. They were filled with shock, which quickly turned into something else. "How could you sleep with someone as soon as I left? It was Adrian wasn't it?" Anger. I realised. He screamed these words at me, and I couldn't help but flinch at the coldness in his voice.

Before I had time to answer, he had sprung up off the bed, and was heading for the door. I didn't have time to pull him back down. Instead I stared after his retreating figure. "It's yours." I whispered, tears streaming down my face.

I didn't expect him to hear me. I could barely hear my voice myself. He must have heard it though because he froze mid-step. He spun around as quickly as he had jumped off the bed. "What?" He whispered, looking into my eyes.

"It's yours." I whispered again. The tears were getting faster and faster now, pouring down my cheeks and onto my lap. Dimitri appeared through my hazy vision in front of me.

"How?" He asked me.

"I don't know. We think it's because I am shadow-kissed. It must be yours though, because you are the only person I have ever slept with." I replied quietly, scared of his reaction.

He cupped my chin so I was looking at his face. "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked quietly.

I sniffed. "Because I hated you." I answered in a small voice. "You left me. Abandoned. I didn't think I ever wanted to see you again, never mind stop around to look after my child. I wasn't even sure if you would have stayed." Dimitri flinched as I said this. The anger in his eyes from before had changed. To pain.

"I cant believe I left you." He whispered. Oh. I see. He was blaming himself for leaving me while I was pregnant.

"You didn't know." I told him.

"I still should have stayed." He retorted. I couldn't help but think that, yes, he should have stayed. I don't think that would have helped his conscience though.

He was just looking down now, that pained look still in his eyes. It pained me to see him so upset, so I put my hand on his shoulder. "It doesn't matter. The point is that you're here now." Then a thought came into my mind. What if he doesn't want me anymore. "That is if you are staying."

His head shot up. "You think I would leave you now?" He asked. He moved back towards me on the bed. Looking into my eyes, he continued. "It was hard enough to leave you the first time, but now, I definitely cant leave. I cant believe I left you when you were pregnant Rose. It's the worst thing I could have done, and I did it!" His gaze never faltered throughout his speech, an it felt like I could see into his soul.

"It doesn't matter." I whispered before leaning forward and pushing my lips to his. He responded instantly, and pushed me down onto the bed, without putting any pressure on my stomach. I tangled my fingers into his hair, an pulled him even closer. In no time at all, our clothes had been ripped off, and he position ready. Always the gentleman, he asked my permission before entering me. I had missed this feeling so much, and I couldn't wait for it to happen again.

When we had finished, we crawled back under the covers. Dimitri wrapped his arms around me, his hands cradling my stomach. I smiled then felt my eye lids starting to droop. Before the darkness took me over, I whispered something I had been dying to say. "I love you Dimitri."

"I love you to Roza, so much." I faintly heard him say, and then, I was gone.
