Chapter Ten
Rose's pov
"I can't wait until you are born" I said, gently rubbing my swollen stomach. At eight months pregnant I looked ready to burst. My pregnancy wasn't what I would have called an easy one, morning sickness' sore back, swollen ankles, over emotional, weird food cravings, you name it, I've had it. I wondered what it would be like if Dimitri was here with me. I had always imagined he would be. He would be a good dad, Dimitri had always loved kids and was great with them. I suppose he had plenty of practice with three sisters and a young niece and nephew.
I winced as I felt the baby kick hard against me as if to remind me of its existence. As if I could forget I thought almost bitterly, I quickly pushed that thought away. Despite the circumstances this child was made out of love, he or she was my little piece of Dimitri. Mine to protect and to love unconditionally.
Dimitri's pov
"If Abe thinks that he I'd going to get the contract deal he is more deluded than I thought!"
We were all sat around the dinner table trying to appear that we were listening to our dad's usual ranting. At the moment hen was on too his favourite topic to complain about, my Roza's family. This was the reason Rose and I could tell anyone about our relationship. Id I said I thought about her often that would he a lie, she is in my mind constantly and I was sure I would never meet someone i could ever love even half as much as my Rose. We had spent one peaceful summers afternoon wrapped in each other's arms, sharing lazy kisses. That afternoon we had planned out our life together. We had planned to marry some time in the not so distant future, with Lisa as her maid of honour and my best friend Ivan as the best man. We decided that we would eventually have children, children who I had hoped would take after their mother. We had even playfully argued about what pets we should have. Rose wanted cats, while I argued that we should have at least one dog. This resulting in a full blown tickling war, with us both laughing until it hurt. That wasn't my future anymore though, it was just a dream.
" speaking of Abe, did you know his daughter Rose came into the clinic a few months ago for a pregnancy test" my mothers void chimed in. I looked up at her so quickly I was surprised I didn't give myself whiplash. Rose is pregnant? That meant she had moved on, fell in love with someone else. Pain flooded my heart. Was this what a broken heart felt like?
"The baby must be due soon, she should be about 8 months gone now" she said thoughtfully.
"And no doubt the girl had no idea who the farther is, imagine the shame having a child at her age!" He sneered.
8 months pregnant! We were still together then, the child could he mine. Mine and Rose's. I heard my farther make another comment about Rose and the child. I wonder what he would say if he knew that the child may be his grandchild. It didn't matter now, I had to see Rose, find out the truth and beg forgiveness. Leaving her was the biggest mistake I could ever make. I would do anything to get her back, her and my baby.
I am sorry for the long wait, but hope you enjoyed this chapter. It would mean a lot if you would leave a review and let me know what you think. Thanks :)
