Two months later

"Wake up, my sweet Roza. It's graduation day!" I said.

"Leave. Me. Alone," she grumbled, and rolled over, so her back was facing me. I got up, stood at the foot of the bed, and pulled the blankets off of her. I knew that would get her up.

"You must have a fucking death wish, Dimitri Pavel Belikov," she growled at me. She had now turned onto her back and was giving me the famous Rose Hathaway death glare. I chuckled. She was definitely not a morning person.

"I'm sorry, but Lissa threatened to rip my balls off if I don't get you up. She has been bothering me all morning," I told her.

"I personally like you with your balls attached to your body, so I guess I'll get up now," she said. She rolled out of her bed and stalked over to our kitchen area.

"I already got you coffee, Roza. It's in the bathroom," I said. She walked back over to me and kissed me good morning. I wrapped my arms around her, which was slightly awkward now because of her now completely visible baby bump.

"Good morning, Comrade," she said.

"Good morning, Roza," I answered. I reluctantly let go of her and pushed her toward the shower. "Go before Lissa almost breaks down the door again."

She laughed and headed toward the bathroom. Ten minutes later, she emerged with a towel wrapped around her body and her hair.

"A little more awake now?" I asked her. She nodded and went to the dresser to grab some clothes.

"Where is your dress?" I asked.

"It's at Lissa's. I just need to find sweats so I don't walk over to the Moroi dorms like this," she said, gesturing to her body, now covered in just underwear and a bra. Once she was dressed, she kissed me good-bye.

"I'll be at Lissa's at 6," I told her. Knowing her she would probably not be ready then. Good thing I planned to pick her up an hour before the actual graduation started.

"I love you, Comrade," she said. God, that nickname was so sexy. "Shut up, Dimitri! No time to think about that now," I thought.

"I love you, too, Roza," I said. She turned and walked out the door.

As soon as she was gone, I showered and got dressed. Then, I went over to my jacket, which was hanging on the back of my desk chair. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the small red box. Just looking at it gave me the courage to do what I wanted to do. I was going to propose to my Roza. Tonight.

I made it smoothly to Lissa's dorm. Thankfully, I did not run into Jesse or Ralf, who had been making my life hell since the student body found out I was pregnant. Dimitri was ready to kill them both. As I was almost to Lissa's dorm, I saw her door fly open, and Sparky being shoved out.

"What the hell is wrong with her, Fire Crotch?" I asked.

"She's gone insane," was all he said. Then he continued down the hallway.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"To get ready with your lover," he answered, and then disappeared down the hallway.

I knocked on Lissa's door. It flew open to reveal a very frazzled Lissa. It looked like a hair salon had thrown up on her usually spotless ivory bedspread. "Where have you been?" she asked.

"Relax! My boyfriend just woke me up 20 minutes ago. And I'm not too happy about you threatening to rip his balls off. I personally like that appendage," I said.

"Okay. Too much information. On to more important things," she said, gesturing to her bed.

"God, Liss! Did you buy the entire hair salon?" I asked.

"Just about," she said. "We need to look perfect for tonight!"

For the whole day, Lissa and I spent our time making sure that we would look stunning for graduation.

Looking in the full-length mirror on the back of Lissa's closet door, I had to admit I looked amazing. My dark brown hair hung in loose curls down my back. My make-up consisted of black eyeliner, mascara, bright red lipstick, and clear lip gloss. The dress that I had picked was black and strapless. It had a satin red ribbon that wrapped around my ribs, just under the bust. The ribbon tied into a bow in the back. It was just above the knee in length and flowed out a little, so my baby bump was a little less noticeable. My shoes were simple black satin heels.

Lissa looked absolutely incredible. Her light blonde hair was pulled back into a loose bun. She left a few strands, which she curled into ringlets, out to frame her face. She wore a baby pink strapless dress that fell just above the knees. It was tight along the torso and had 3 big ruffles that made up the skirt. There was silver beading on the torso that complimented her silver sandals. It looked absolutely stunning on her. She had on just a touch of mascara and lip gloss. It was all she needed.

Knock, knock, knock.

"Enough primping! We don't have all day!" yelled Christian.

"Oh, you shut up, Fire Crotch," I said as I grabbed my purse off of Lissa's bed. Lissa went over to the door and opened it for the guys. I stopped dead in my tracks. Dimitri looked hot! He was wearing a black suit with a black dress shirt underneath. He wore a bright red tie. His brown hair was slicked back and tied into a ponytail at the nape of his neck. Holy. Shit.

"Roza…" he gasped, his eyes growing huge.

At 6 o'clock sharp, Christian knocked on Lissa's door. He had gotten ready in my room today because Lissa had kicked him out of his. I actually enjoyed getting ready with him today. He is not that bad of a guy. "Enough primping! We don't have all day!" he yelled.

"Oh, you shut up, Fire Crotch," Roza's voice called through the doorway. I couldn't help but laugh. This was typical Rose.

Lissa opened the door a couple of seconds later, and Roza came out of the room. She didn't make it far because she froze, as did I. She looked absolutely gorgeous. Her dress looked like it was made for her. I showcased her curves, as well as hid her baby bump.

"Roza…" I gasped. It was all I could seem to get out. I closed the distance between us and met her lips with mine. "You look gorgeous."

"You don't look too bad yourself, Comrade," she replied.

"Okay, lovebirds, are we going to get out of here or not?" Lissa asked.

"Oh, don't act like you and Fire Boy are any better," Rose retorted. Lissa blushed, because she knew Rose was right. We turned and started walking towards the auditorium. I grabbed Rose's hand and laced my fingers through hers.

When we got to the auditorium, there already a lot of people there. I took my seat next to Roza.

Not long after, Kirova took the stage. "Welcome to the graduation of the St. Vladimir's Senior Class! We will begin with the Dhampirs," she said.

She got through the A's and the B's relatively quickly. "Edison Castile," she called out. "Edison will be guarding Princess Vasilisa Dragomir." Eddie took his Guardian's Oath, got his Promise Mark and silver stake, and sat back down.

"Rosemarie Hathaway," Kirova said. Rose got up from beside me. "Rosemarie is graduating top of the class. She will be guarding Princess Vasilisa Dragomir."

Rose took her Oath, received her Promise Mark and silver stake, and returned to her seat next to me.

"Congratulations, my Roza," I whispered in her ear.

"Thank you, Comrade," she whispered back.

"Alright, that marks the end of the Dhampir graduation and the beginning of the Moroi graduation," Kirova announced.

I tuned out the names as she rattled off letters A-C. "Princess Vasilisa Dragomir," she called out. "Princess Dragomir will be guarded by Guardian Edison Castile and Guardian Rosemarie Hathaway."

More names were called, and then finally, "Lord Christian Ozera. Lord Ozera will be guarded by Guardian Dimitri Belikov."

He looked honestly surprised that he had received a Guardian. The Ozera name had been frowned upon ever since his parents had willingly turned Strigoi when Christian was younger.

Finally, after what seemed like hours, Kirova announced the end of the graduation ceremony.

Lissa and Rose congratulated each other as soon as the ceremony ended. When things began to quiet down, I grabbed Roza's hand and pulled her away from the crowds. As we headed through the quad toward the forest, I hoped with all my heart that Roza would like the graduation gift that I had set up for her just a few hours before I picked her up.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"You'll see…" I replied.

I hope you liked it! Please review! (:
