Third Month

I was scheduled for an ultra sound today to see when the baby was due and if the baby was okay. I really didn't want to get out of this much too soft, relaxing bed. "Little dhampir, we are going to be late for the appointment if you don't get your sexy ass of that bed."

I groaned, snuggling with the blankets. Why did the appointment have to be so early?

"Little dhampir? Ha! Rose get your lazy self off this damn bed before I make you get off!" Yaritza said taking off the covers and tossing them on the ground. She really could be an ass at times but I could handle her.

Knowing it would annoy the life out of her, I stayed on the bed. Adrian chuckled knowingly and I loved him for that. He really did know me well.

Yaritza is one of those people that don't take "no" for an answer. Those people really annoyed the shit out of me. And it was a good thing Adrian was here or else I would have beaten the shit out of her. She went up to me. "I SAID, GET OFF THE BED!"

"Yaritza, go away." I still stayed on the bed except now I was rubbing my stomach.

"Rose, come on, please!" Yaritza said knowing that I hated when somebody yelled to me. Why was she even here?

"What are you doing here?" I said finally getting of the bed.

"What? I can't come visit my favorite sister-in-law?" She said walking to the closet and picking out a comfortable maternity outfit that she and Arianna had picked out for me.

"No, only when I say you can. The only one who can visit me anytime they want is your dad, your mom, and Paul. And Adrian but he never leaves my side." Talking about Adrian, I went over to him a pulled him down and gave him a kiss that Yaritza was ever too grateful to see. Not.

"Okay, please, I may have puked a little in my mouth." She grabbed my hand and walked me inside the bathroom and turned on the shower. Yes, my sister-in-law does love me that much.

I took a fast shower and got dressed. Adrian walked in and Yaritza got out, probably not wanting to experience another passionate moment between us.

I got dressed as quickly as possible.

I walked outside and Yaritza was waiting in the back seat of our of Adrian's black custom made Audi A8. It was such a beautiful car, that he had actually bought me one.

"Can we stop for breakfast?" I asked, absentmindedly cleaning my Guess sunglasses.

"Little dhampir, can you wait till we get out?"

"No, your baby's mom is hungry therefore your son is hungry." I pointed to a big yellow M sign. "Oh! Look there is a Mc Donald's over there! Hurry, I want a Mc Griddle!"

Ten minutes later, I was happily eating. We arrived at the doctor's office with a minute to spare.

The nurse let me in right away.

I got the usual checkup. They took my weight, height, and measured my stomach, which was still pretty small. The only way you could see a bump was if I had nothing covering my stomach and I had to stand sideways.

I had only gained two pounds which was kind surprising since I didn't stop eating.

"Okay just go into that room"—the nurse pointed to the door at the end of the hallway—"and the doctor will be in right away."

I walked into the room with Adrian close on my heels. Yaritza had met an old friend in the waiting room.

Adrian put a hand on my stomach. He leaned down and began talking to my stomach.

Dr. Luna walked in, wearing that smile she always wore.

"Hello, Rose, Adrian." She greeted us. "So how is the pregnancy going?"

"Quite good." I said. "Just morning sickness sucks."

"Yes, we got lots of ladies in here complaining about that." She went to the sink at the corner of the room to sanitize her hands. "Alright, lets get this show on the road." She said once her hands were clean.

She turned on the ultrasound machine. I pulled back my shirt and she poured that jelly-like substance. It felt very cold against my warm stomach. She ran the device across my belly. We looked at the screen but all it showed was a tiny fetus. She printed out pictures of the baby.

"Looking at this, your due date will be January ninth. Congratulations." She wiped of the jelly. "Have the receptionist schedule an appointment in two months to do an ultrasound to see the baby's sex."

Dr. Luna left the room ,and I straightened my clothes.

"Now could we go have breakfast?" I asked Adrian stomach growling. I began talking to my stomach. "You're hungry ,aren't you baby?"

Fourth Month

I hate when I get morning sickness. The doctor said it would go away soon. But I found it hard to believe it sometimes. The whole pregnancy was fine, the baby was fine, except this.

Every time I got sick, Adrian would stroke my back and hold my hair.

I brushed my teeth and liking the way the toothpaste tasted.

Adrian went to the closet to get me a fresh pair of clothes. I stripped naked and wore nothing. My stomach was now getting bigger. Defined. You could tell I was pregnant from afar.

Adrian came back with the close but I hopped inside the bathtub instead. I filled it with colder water than usual because hot water was bad for the baby.

Adrian brought me strawberries and fresh fruit. Things that would help my stomach. He massaged my feet again. I got out of the tab because I suddenly felt too tired.

Fifth Month

I have an ultra sound today to see what I was going to have. My stomach was much bigger than last month. I had gained at least ten pounds since I became pregnant. The doctor said that was fine but I said that it was bad.

"You might break that scale, Rose." Yaritza said teasingly. I don't why she has to come.

"Yaritza, shut up!" I couldn't help but yell at her.

"Yaritza leave her alone! You weigh more than Rose and you aren't even pregnant." Adrian growled at her.

Yaritza finally shut up.

I was taken into the ultra-machine room. They put that horrible jelly on my stomach again. Up and down she mover the device. You could hear the baby's heartbeat. It was such a relaxing sound.

"Here we see the baby's arms and feet." She pointed at the screen. "Ah. Congrats! A baby boy is on the way!"

"OMG! ADRIAN WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A BOY!" I screamed at my obviously smiling husband. Although I was happy, I couldn't help but wish I was having a girl like Lissa was.

"Yes, little dhampir, we are!"

Dr. Luna wiped my stomach off and I was free to go. We called the whole world to tell them the spectacular news. We went back home cause I was tired.

Sixth Month

Tatiana is really excited that I am having a boy. Adrian's family is excited for us. But they were desperately hoping that I give birth to a girl.

Tatiana helped Adrian with everything; adjusting to being the new King and Queen was not an easy task let me tell you.

Next time. My mind whispered to me.

Every time Adrian and I went to the Royal Court we were greeted with hugs and kisses and bows. It annoyed me. All Royals would come up to me just to touch my stomach. The baby would move in response.

All Royals were fine with me being the first dhampir queen ever. We got the most trouble from the Lazar family.

When we arrived at the court I was not surprised to find Tatiana there waiting for us. What did surprise me was the Russians waiting there for Adrian and I. And by the Russians I meant Oskana, Mark, Viktoria, Olena, Yeva, Karolina, Sonya. I wondered what they were doing here. I mean I was happy to see them but what were they doing her.

"Rose! OHMYGOD! How cute!" Viktoria said rushing up to me.

The others followed after her hugging and patting my belly and my husband. "We've been a little naughty, haven't we Adrian?" Viktoria teased Adrian.

They stayed there for ten days and they had to go. They witnessed my stomach grow an inch. They were obsessed with my stomach; they didn't want to let go of it. They finally was to go and it was kind of relieving and sad at the same time.

Seventh Month

I went to the doctor today and I found out I gained five pounds more. Adrian laughed at me as soon as I found out. I cocked my head to the side and gave him a death glare. He stopped laughing but he continued smirking.

I crossed my arms. "You won't be laughing when I choke you to death!"

He seemed scared, scared of making the unmotherly Rose come out.

"Sorry, babe."

The doctor examined the baby and me and said everything was alright. We went home to do the Kegel exercises that the Lamaze teacher had instructed me to do.

Rose's Surprise Baby Shower Mia's POV

Eighth Month

Poor Rose and Lissa they could barely walk. Lissa was now almost nine months; Rose was about eight months. But still Lissa trudged alongside me through the store trying to find Rose's future son a present.

Today was Rose's baby shower. That girl got everything she wanted. She was the spoiled in-law. Yaritza was going to be the godmother and Christian was going to be the godfather, the baby wasn't already born yet but they had already chosen the godparents.

"Ooh! I like that!" Lissa squealed when she saw a blue bassinet. It was wrapped inside a veil like material. It wasn't really a bassinet; it was more like a basket designed to carry a baby inside. "I'll get this for Rose!" She slurped the remains of her mango smoothie.

Lissa had chosen her present; now, it was my turn. But what to buy Rose? I looked around and around the store. "Mia we don't have all day. Hurry up!"

"I'm trying to find something for her!"

"Why don't you buy her this baby satchel and it full it up with necessary stuff like shirts and diapers?" She pointed at the light blue diaper bag.

In the end, that's what I bought her.

Yaritza, Maylin, Vera, Breeanne, Donia, Lissa, Arianna, Sara, Tasha Ozera, Janine and me had gotten together to discuss Rose's baby shower. Lissa already had had one.

The Ivashkov's had paid everything; it was scary sometimes they had a lot of money. A lot. They had hired the most prestigious caterers, the most expensive decorations, the most expensive gifts.

We were all ready for Yaritza to bring Rose. I could not have asked that sooner. Rose burst through the room and cried when she saw the set up. The party was awesome. Rose got over a million gifts for the future Ivashkov. We stayed up all night picking out names for her baby boy. She had made a bet with Adrian and she had won!

The mom-to-be was tired and we took her to her house so that she could finally get some sleep.

Rose Gives Birth RPOV

Ninth Month - Ten Days Past Due Date

I woke up from my wonderful dream with Adrian when I felt water on the bed. I sat up. Pain shot though me. Oh my Adrian! I was going to give birth! Damn, finally! I was ten days late.

I shook Adrian and he almost fell of the bed. It would have been funny if not for the horrible pain in my lower back. Contractions. I was going to kill Adrian when I got the chance but for now I needed him.

"ADRIAN ,YOU MALE! WAKE UP! MY WATER JUST BROKE!"

With that Adrian came to his senses. He had heard enough from his brothers. One thing was, don't ever get the mother of your child mad while she is going into labor.

I took deep breaths trying to calm myself.

I got off the bed and I screamed in pain. A couple of seconds later, Yaritza came inside the bedroom. She had a pair of fresh clothes in her hands and she helped me into them. I was too much in pain to object.

Adrian carried me and we walked into the garage with me in his hands and Yaritza on his heels. He started the car and drove as fast as he could since the hospital was twenty minutes away at the least; we got there in ten minutes.

The nurses were ready, apparently Adrian had called the hospital. I didn't need to fill out paperwork; it had all been taken care of with Preregister. The advantages of being and Ivashkov, you got what you wanted when you said you wanted it.

I was put into a wheelchair and they wheeled me to the Maternity Floor which was the third floor. The nurses helped me dress into a hospital gown. Adrian laid me on the hospital bed. Another nurse came in.

I had to wait for one hour; Adrian continuously stroked my hair and held my hand.

Hours later, I laid back on my back while my newborn baby cried. I celebrated with joy.

The nurses, had finished checking the baby; he was fine; he was a seven lbs. and seven ounce boy. They put him into my arms. I cried.

My baby boy looked like his father with some facial features of mine. His hair was a mixture of Adrian's and mine; it was a very light brown. He had my nose. Adrian's sexy smile was evident on his face. Adrian's gorgeous ,Ivashkov, green eyes colored the shape of my eyes on his delicate newborn face. He was hell giving birth to, but he was worth this pain and more.

I laid there with him cradled into my arms, crying. And then I handed him to his father who was just as teary as I was.

Rose Gives Birth APOV

I heard one last threat from Rose, which I would have to make it up to her somehow later, and I heard the cries of my beautiful little boy.

Rose was amazing for giving me this precious son. I couldn't wait to have more.

She looked up to me while holding our son. Her tears mirrored my own. She looked down at the baby and handed him to me.

And there he was cradled into my arms. I looked back to my little dhampir and asked, "What do you want name him? After all, you one the bet."

She looked at me before looking at our child adoringly. "Ervin Luke."

I stood there looking at my son, Ervin Luke, till the sun rose.
