Chapter Fourteen: Missing

Rose's POV

(Five months Later- Nine Months Pregnant)

I was sitting on the couch stroking my large stomach. Hans and called Dimitri in for a few hours, much to his displeasure. I smiled as I felt a particularly strong kick under my hand. Yes she was going to be her mommy's girl.

"Hey Lissa!" I called. "She's kicking again!" Lissa laughed as she came out of the kitchen. "Well what do you expect Rose? Maddie should have been here by now; she's probably getting restless in there.

After we had found out what we were having Dimitri and I had discussed names and Dimitri had come up with Madison Rose Belikov, our little Maddie.

Suddenly there was a knock at the door and I groaned as Lissa helped me pulled myself up from the couch why can't people leave pregnant women alone?

I waddled over to the door and answered it to find a Guardian I knew of but didn't know personally.

"Hello Guardian Hathaway." I smiled. "Hi, what can I do for you?"

He answered in a professional tone. "Guardian Belikov asked me to look in on you." I laughed. I should have known that Dimitri wouldn't be able to leave me alone for two hours at the lest. "I'm sorry, he's been kind of overprotective lately." I told him then I put my hand to my swollen middle.

"Then again his little princess here is due any day." The guardian began to look a little uncomfortable. "Come on in," I said as I opened the door wider to allow him to come into my home. "I'll get you something to drink." I turned my back to him and began to make my way to the kitchen but I didn't make it.

"I'm so sorry." I heard behind me then o felt a blunt pain as I was struck in the head and just before my world went black I saw the regretful face of the Guardian and I heard Lissa's screams.

Dimitri's POV

I was relived when Hans finally let me leave. I had been away from Rose for almost three hours and I didn't like it. Although she hadn't called so at lest that meant she hadn't gone into labor while I had been gone. I wanted to be there for all of that. Though I did feel better that the princess had come over to sit with Rose for me. I didn't like being away from her.

I made a stop at the café to pick Roza up a treat. Since her morning sickness had subsided the thought of donuts didn't make her as sick so I picked her up one and a bottle of water then I made my way across court toward the apartments where Roza and I lived. Since I was Christian's guardian and Roza was Lissa's we lived close to them in case they needed us, though since Rose was so close to her due date it was more for Rose's benefit then the Moroi's.

When I got to our door my insides froze. It was opened. I rushed inside praying the girls were ok.

"Roza! Princess!" I called. "Roza answer me!" there was no reply. I searched the apartment only finding a small bit of blood in the entryway.

I felt a blinding rage build. Someone had some into my home and attacked and kidnapped family while I had been away. I was going to find Rose and Vasilisa and the cowards that did this would pay dearly.

I pulled out my phone dialed Christian's number.

"The girls are missing."

Lissa's POV

I woke up with a horrible pain in my head. I looked to my right to see Rose laying next to me her hands were tied and she was unconscious. I sat up and shook Rose's shoulder.

"Rose, Rose wake up!" she groaned and opened her eyes.

"Liss? What happened where are we?" She looked around and tried to sit up but the ropes prevented her to do that.

"Wha-?" "I don't know Rose but I don't think we're in Court anymore."

Suddenly the door to the basement we were in opened and the same Guardian that attacked us came into the room.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Rose growled as she struggled against the ropes at her wrists.

The guardian was handsome. He had black hair and blue eyes, his father must have been an Ozera. He as dressed in the usual Guardian attire.

"I apologize Guardian Hathaway but you are to be held here until you give birth."

"Why?" I demanded as I tried to stand only to realize that I had a chain on my ankle.

He didn't answer me but continued as if I hadn't said a word.

"Once the baby is born you two will be killed."
