LAST CHAPTER I ACIDENTALLY HINTED TOWARD HAVING TWINS. I WASNT PLANNING ON DOINGTHAT BECAUSE IT IS A FANFIC CLICHE BUT IF YOU GUYS WANT THAT I MIGHT DO IT.
I woke up in a white room and it had a bright light hanging above me. My head hurt and my thoughts were jumbled. Then I remembered. I freaking stabbed Dimitri. What the fuck is wrong with me, I should have at least look at who it was before I tried to kill him.
I tried to sit up but I felt a pain in my shoulder. I only now noticed Lissa sleeping in the chair next to me. I looked at my shoulder, it was wrapped in and elastic bandage and it looked a little bruised but it was probably worse before I woke up. A nurse came in.
"Oh Rose, glad you're awake. We didn't expect you to wake up for a while longer" Lissa started to wake up. "I just came to check on you and your babies heartbeat." It took me a moment to process what she was saying. 'Shit' she knew I was pregnant. Did she tell anyone else what if Dimitri found out? I remembered what Christian had told me earlier 'If you don't tell him, he's going to find out on his own.' I suddenly felt more awake.
"Dimitri, I mean Guardian Belikov, is he okay?" I was afraid of the answer but I need to know.
"Luckily you missed his artery, so he just needed some stitches. He was discharged yesterday but I think he is still in the waiting room." I don't think the nurse was supposed to tell me all of that but she must have wanted to be nice. The nurse looked at the screen next to my bed and wrote some things down. "Everything looks fine, if you can pass a concussion test you should be out of here in no time." The nurse walked out of the room and Lissa came and stood next to me.
"Oh my God Rose, we were so worried. Your mom got an earlier flight and she's sitting outside with Dimitri and Christian right now." She slowed down her talking. "Do you want me to go tell them you're awake?" She looked tired.
"Wait no what day is it?"
"Saturday, why?"
"I was worried I missed getting my assignment." Lissa smiled so wide I couldn't help but smile too. I was curious why that had mad her so excited.
"Well the doctor said it would probably be a few days before you would wake up since you had a little head injury. So they told us ahead of time that if you didn't wake up in time to just tell you." I looked at her wide eyed "You might get to make the ceremony after all." She was so excited she didn't even tell me who it was. Lissa continued.
"You got me." She was jumping up and down next to my bed. I was so happy. She gave me a huge hug. I realized something. The nurses and my Doctor knew that I'm pregnant. I must have shown some emotion that tipped Lissa off because her smile faded into a look of concern. "What's wrong?" I felt tears forming behind my eyes
"Do-does-does he know, about the-e" I couldn't finish my sentence, but Lissa understood and she nodded. I started to cry. Lissa hugged me again. This time she didn't let go until the doctor came in. She was a middle aged moroi woman who looked like she could possibly be an Ivoshkav. She looked at my chart and then at the machines next to me. She wrote something down and then introduced herself as. Dr. Wilson. She probably noticed the tears on my cheeks because she had a clearly fake, happy attitude.
"So Rose everything looks good, I'm going to give you a concussion test before I can give the all clear. If you have any questions you can ask afterward." She asked me basic questions like my name and birthday. She tested my vision and shined a small flashlight in my eyes. She wrote something down again "I'll be back in about ten minutes with the release forms. Lissa stood back up. Before she could say anything I asked.
"Lissa, can you please get my mom." I was surprised I called her mom I always just called her my mother, at least out load I did. Lissa squeezed my hand and walked out of the room. I few minutes later my mother walk in. I didn't know what to say. I wasn't even sure why I asked to see her. She was probably just going to be upset with me, but she wasn't. Her face looked worn and she had dark circles under her eyes. She looked much worse than Lissa had. She walked over to the spot Lissa stood earlier. I felt so embarrassed. I could barely whisper.
"I'm sorry." She looked at me with a slightly surprised expression.
"Rose, what you did was stupid but it wasn't me you stabbed. I'm not the one who you should be apologizing to." I looked at her to see if I could read her expression, but she had her guardian mask back on.
"I know you know." She looked at the floor and then back at me.
"I do know, I was just going to wait for me to tell me yourself." She sighed and I braced myself for a scolding but it didn't come. "It's going to be alright." She gave me a brief hug and walked back out of the room.
I few minutes later I heard a knock and saw Dimitri standing in the doorway. I saw the bandage wrapped around his arm. I felt my eyes burning again, they were threatening to spill tears again."
"Dimitri, I-I-I'm sso sorry, I didn't know I mean." He shook his head and cut me off.
"Roza don't apologize for that, you didn't hesitate. How can I be mad when you were only listening to my instuction?" I didn't know why the tone of his voice sounded so kind and genuine. I was expecting him to be angry. "Don't worry about me the princess healed me a little so it wasn't too bad when I got here." He looked at the floor. He paused before saying the next part. "We were all worried about you and, and" He looked back up at me. "And the baby." I started to cry again but this time they weren't quiet tears. He came over to the side of the bed.
"Dimitri I promise I was going to tell you but I..." I was sobbing at this point. He cut me off again.
"It's none of my business why you didn't have to tell me if you didn't want to?"
"No, no I, no, it is your business. I-I don't know how but it's yours." I couldn't read his expression. It took his a while to respond.
"Roza, you know that's not possible." He seemed a little uncomfortable.
"No, the cabin, it was, your." My thought were all jumbled together. Dimitri gave me a hug.
"It's okay." I was a hysterical mess. I managed to get out a mostly coherent sentence.
"The cabin it, it was the only time." It took him a moment to realize what I was saying. I had only had sex one time. It was in the cabin with Dimitri. We were at the edge of the school campus right before the strigoi attacked. Dimitri didn't say anything after that. I just cried into his shoulder until I was calm enough to speak again.
"I- I d-don't know how this happened but the baby, it is yours. It's okay if you don't believe me or you don't want it, but I'm going to keep it. I-I just thought you- th-that you deserved to know." He finally spoke up.
"Roza, I believe you but we need to find out how this happened, later." I was a little surprised when he said 'we' "but why would you think I wouldn't want our kid." He was showing a more sensitive side of himself and I wasn't sure whether or not it was fake. "Don't you know me enough to know that I've always want a family?" I regretted what I said next.
"Of course I do, that why you just took off with Tasha." Dimitri looked at me with a puzzled expression and then he frowned.
"That's not why. I did it so I could get away from the academy, I was upset. I wanted to leave the place that had such bad memories. I wish I could haveā¦" He paused. "I'm sorry." I told Tasha I would be her guardian but I couldn't be in a relationship like she wanted." He laughed to himself. "In fact right before you stabbed me I sent in a transfer request form at the guardian headquarters. Tasha met a Moroi at court when we first moved here and next week she is moving to Canada so she can live on her own again near him. I requested to go back to St. Vladimir's but this morning I changed it again. After I found out you were pregnant I decided I wanted to be here. I want to help you Roza." I was a little annoyed.
"I tried to kill myself when you left, how can you expect me to just say everything's fine because you said you were sorry." Dimitri looked at me with a horrified expression.
"Rose, why would you, how could you?" he stopped himself when he looked at me again. I was crying again. "I'm sorry Roza, I can't even tell you how much I regret leaving you. I don't expect you to want me in your life. You can hate me till the day you die if you want." I waved for him to stop talking and I sobbed silently.
I finally stopped crying again as the doctor walked in. Dimitri pulled away and kissed me on the forehead. I grabbed his hand before he could walk away. I didn't want to be alone with the doctor.
Dr. Wilson handed me a form to sign. I signed it and returned it to her. She handed me an envelope. "We took some pictures while you were still asleep." I didn't open the envelope I just nodded. I was a little scared of what 'pictures' she had taken. "You are about six to seven weeks into your pregnancy. You can schedule a checkup for about two week from now." The doctor left as Lissa came in and gave me clothes to change into. I went into the small bathroom and put on my normal clothes. I was glad I was going home.
