Chapter Twelve: Nanny Adrian?

When I came home from the hospital a few days later my friends gathered in my house and they all decided that Adrian would move into my apartment with me until after the baby was born.

Let me tell you Adrian. Drove. Me up the walls! He didn't smoke or drink in the house, I'd have kicked his ass for that, but he hovered constantly. I honestly don't think even Dimitri himself would have hovered so badly. I mean I almost believed I was carrying his baby!

"No don't get up Rose!" Adrian yelped as I tried to lift myself from the couch. "What do you need I'll get it for you." He said as he literally hovered over me.

My eyebrow twitched. "Can you bring me a toilet? Cause I have to pee Adrian!"

He chuckled as an embarrassed flush stained his cheeks. "Oh, um, ok then. Go for it." He helped me up and led me to the bathroom.

I did my business and went back out into the hall where an anxious Moroi was pacing the hall. When he saw me he lead me back to the couch. It was sweet but Sooooo annoying!

"Ok are you ok?" he asked. I guess my labor scare had really freaked Adrian out. When the Doc had managed to stop my labor mom called everyone to let them know where I was and what had happened. Adrian and Lissa had been the most freaked and Adrian was taking his new job as my nanny very seriously

I wonder I'd be able to go the next three or so months without killing him?


November 13th-14th Rose's POV

Olena and the Belikovs arrived today. They wanted to spend to spend thanksgiving through Christmas with me since Aria was due in December, right before Christmas in fact.

Mom had just showed my mother-in-law into my living room I had sent Adrian off to annoy anyone else, I didn't care who, just so he as away from me!

Paul happily threw his little arms around me and hugged me tightly.

"Roza! I've missed you!" he said and I felt my heart break. He looked so much like his uncle that for a moment I honestly thought I was seeing Dimitri as a child.

"Hey munchkin I've missed you too." I told him. He smiled then looked at my swollen stomach. "Is that the baby Roza?" he asked as his eyes lit up. "Can I feel her?" I smiled and nodded. "Go for it. She very active today." Paul happily put his hand to my stomach and as he did Aria responded with a good strong kick.

Paul smiled. He was so excited to have gotten a reaction from his unborn cousin. It was too cute.

"I feel her!" he laughed as he ran to Karolina, his mother. Karo smiled down at her son and she looked to me.

"How have you been feeling Roza? Your mother told us about your scare a few months back. I smiled. "I've been fine, really. Suddenly a dull pain that I had been feeling on and off today shot through me much stronger then it had been today. I flinched. "Adrian's been driving me crazy being so over protective and stupid." I said as I noticed Yeva narrow her eyes at me. She must have known I was uncomfortable and wasn't saying anything.

"Babushka," Paul said. "I'm thirsty." Olena started to get up.

"Oh Olena, let me get it I- OW!" I was brought to my knees as the most intense pain I had ever felt shot through me.

"Rose?" My mom was at my side in a flash. "What's wrong sweetie?" she asked me.

I moaned. "The child is to be born this night." I heard Yeva say.

My eyes opened in fear. My baby was coming.


Sorry it took so long and that it's so short. I was really stuck on this chapter and I had a great Idea for a story, which I've posted under the title You Were Mine for a Time. Thanks for reading and I hoped you enjoyed it.
