I don't own anything but the plot. Hope you enjoy.

Rose's POV

"Rose, you're starting to glow." Victor whispered.

"Shit, get behind me." I pushed him behind me but he grabbed my arm and started pulling me towards one of the closets. "Victor what are you doing? I'll get rid of whoever it is that's about to attack." I tried to pull away but he just squeezed harder.

"Rose did you not hear a thing I said. You can't use your powers. It will either kill you or those babies." I started shaking my head at him. "Think for just one second and tell me I'm wrong." I did as he asked and damn it my belly started glowing. That same feeling of trust washed over me.

I looked up to Victor so astonished that he cared enough. Whoever was out there was going to capture us if everyone else didn't show up in the next few minutes. Victor tugged on my arm again pulling me to the large closet at the end of the hall. He pushed me in the back and started throwing clothes on me. When he was sure I was covered he sat close to me pulling clothes over himself. I guess the best thing that could happen now would be that it was guardians out there instead of Strigoi.

"Rose don't you move. If they come in here I'll show myself but if they don't see you make sure it stays that way." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Remember it's you and those babies that are going to put an end to the madness." We could hear movement in the rooms and footsteps coming down the hall.

I slipped into Lissa's head to let her know what was going on. She was inside the SUV with the doors locked. Guardians outside were surrounding my mom and Dimitri. This must have been orchestrated. We were in trouble. No matter how fast Dimitri and my mom could subdue the guardians advancing on them they couldn't make it here before we were gone.

'Lissa guardians are in the house. Victor told me not to use the glow. He said he thinks it will kill me and or the babies. My stomach glowed so I know he's right. We are hiding in the closet.'

'Rose get out of there. They can't take you.' I knew she was scared for me but right now there was nowhere to go.

'Lissa they won't hurt us. They want the power. Tell my mom and Dimitri to find us.' I pulled out of her head when I heard footsteps stop in front on the door we were hiding behind. When the door opened Victor stood up so they would see him. He was pulled out of the closet and then the hand reached in and grabbed me.

Dimitri's POV

Janine and I hit the ground when the guardians were close enough, they fell to the ground unconscious. When I jumped into the driver's seat I looked into the rear view mirror to see Lissa crying. "Lissa what's wrong?" I asked. I was thinking that maybe she was happy to have her younger sister sitting next to her. That gut feeling told me I wasn't going to like what she was about to tell me.

"Victor and Rose have been captured." She wailed some more, tears streaming down her face. Christian wrapped his arms around her trying to comfort her. I sat there frozen. I couldn't understand why she would allow herself to be captured. "Victor had an idea that if Rose used her powers again it would kill her or the babies. She told me he was right." FUCK. Oh I would get my love back and if she had so much as a scratch on her I'd use this power to kill them all. I drove as fast as I could hoping to catch them before they were gone.

Obviously that was the last thing they wanted was to go up against me and Janine. But when we all ran into the house the emptiness cut at us all. Our Rose was gone. Something about her and those babies made it almost impossible not to be pulled in and love her. Lissa continued to cry. Her sister wrapped her arms around her whispering a lullaby I didn't recognize. My attention was pulled to a movement on the couch.

"Dimitri I tried delaying this. I'm sorry." Mikhail said as he stood up walking to me. "They think I'm with them. I'm supposed to bring you in, they don't think you will hurt me. Now listen we have to act quickly. Danialla Ivashkov plans on inducing Rose, taking the babies and executing her." I felt the bile rise in my throat. I swallowed it back down. I could feel the glow radiating off me, I was so mad.

I walked up to him and looked him straight in the eyes, "Mikhail can I trust you?" I reached out my hand for him to shake. When he grabbed my hand that feeling in my gut said he was trust worthy. Now all we had to do was to find a great plan to get my Roza back. "What do you have planned?" I asked him. My plan would be to storm into court and get my Roza back and take out whoever got in my way.

"Ok first we need to get a flight back to court. I slipped Victor a homing beacon so we could find Rose and they wouldn't have a heads up. They will be moved a lot so nobody knows where they are but the ones that are housing them."

"Mikhail how long do we have until the induce her?" god I wanted to throw up. This could endanger my babies. Lissa pulled her phone out and started setting up the jet to take us back. The only way we would get through the gates was to act like we had been captured.

"A doctor was called yesterday that would induce that early and he won't be there for another two days. That doesn't leave us much time." Mikhail had a grave look on his face. He really did like Rose and believed in her innocence. I turned because I hadn't even thought how this was affecting Adrian. And no matter how I feel about him he has always been there for Rose when I wasn't and he was a good guy. He had this lost look on his face. Viktoria was trying to get his attention but he was just staring off into nowhere.

"Adrian." I said as I walked over and put my hand on his shoulder. "Adrian it's all going to be alright." I tried to comfort him.

"The hell it will. My mother wants to kill her. She wants those babies. I can't let her do this." He never moved his eyes and silent tears rolled down his face. Viktoria put herself in his arms trying to break him out of his train of thought. "I'm going to call her. Do you think that would be ok?" I was so surprised when he met my eyes.

"Couldn't hurt but you need to sound like you've been captured." Mikhail told him. Adrian pulled out his phone as we all sat down to listen to the conversation.

"Hello mother." Adrian said. His voice was full of hate. He had put the phone down on the table and put it on speaker phone.

"Oh Adrian. Honey are you alright?" she sounded worried about him. I resisted the feeling of cussing at her.

"Mother if you do anything to harm Rose I will put you in your grave." Since I first met Adrian I had never heard him sound so disgusted in being a royal.

"Adrian, come home. We can all share the power. The babies will grow up being on our side. We will have complete control." She sounded so happy that she would be all powerful.

"I don't want the power. If you were smart you wouldn't force it mother. And just so you know the only one that can give you that power is the one you plan on murdering." I knew that it was true, we all did but the reason he was telling her this was to prolong her from harming Rose.

"How do you know the babies won't be able to?" Adrian now held her attention.

"Because it was Rose that gave it to Janine and Dimitri. They also have to have her recharge them all the time." Adrian was really smart. This would help ensure that Danialla would delay her inducing Rose.

"Now Adrian are you lying to me?" she asked. I wondered what he was going to say in order to convince her.

"No mother. I'm not lying. But if you don't believe me continue with your stupid plan and see where it gets you." Adrian was holding a lot back. Holding his tongue looked to be one of the hardest things he had ever done.

"Adrian do you think you could convince her to give it to me?" Adrian rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"No. But you had Mikhail cuff us all and blind fold us. I'm sure if Rose knew that she would be willing to help."

"I've missed you so much Adrian dear. We'll talk more when your home and away from those criminals." She hung up.

I patted him on the shoulder again, "you did good Adrian. You gave us more time."

Rose's POV

When I woke up I could feel that I was in a big bed. I concentrated to use my inner vision and could see I was in a small room. There was a little table with two chairs and a small couch at the end of the bed. The one problem with this vision was the blur so when I 'saw' something or someone move on the couch I wasn't sure who it was.

"Hey Rose." Victor said as he got up and sat next to me on the bed. "I thought you would never wake up. They gave you a shot after they pulled you from the closet."

"Where are we?" I asked him.

"Back at court under lock and key." He smiled at me.

"Victor we have to get out of here. What do they want?" I tried getting a better view of the room but I could feel that I was weak and my head hurt.

Victor embraced me which took me by complete surprise. "You behave. Mikhail is acting like he is on their side. He's bringing everyone here as prisoners." He let me go and sat back down at the couch. I got up putting my hands in front of me. I made it to the table and opened the lid covering a plate. On the plate were some muffins and rolls. I grabbed one of the muffins and started eating. I was really hungry.

"Have we had any visitors?" I sat down at the table trying to get a better look around. My head hurt so bad like I had a hangover. I gave up and let myself drift back into seeing nothing.

"Danialla came in and rubbed your belly for awhile. She wants you to give her your power." My hand immediately went down to my belly. One of the babies kicked my hand. No sooner than the words left his mouth the door opened.

"Well Rose it's good to see you awake. Do you need anything?" The bitch asked sweetly.

"Yeah, let me out of here." I smiled in the direction of her voice.

"Can't do that Rose. You see you have something I want. I can get it easily or not so easy. Doesn't matter to me one bit." Even though I wasn't looking at her or even using my weird vision thing I knew she had an evil smile across her face. The women always hated me because of Adrian and wanted to make me hurt for my involvement with him.

"You want the power. What makes you think I can just give it to you?" I could feel her get closer to me. She grabbed my face in one hand and the other went to my belly.

"You give me any problems Rose and I'll take those babies right now and find out if I can get the power from them." She pressed on my belly causing me to groan in pain. When Dimitri comes I'll tell him to rip her apart one limb at a time. The pain made me want to throw up.

"Danialla, please. Hurting Rose isn't going to get you what you want. Let me talk to her. Please." Victor said from across the room. The bitch let go of my face but her hand still was putting a little pressure on my belly.

"I've tried for so long to have another baby. Yours will live a great life with me. They will be royal because I will be queen. The doctor will be here in two hours to take my babies from you." She rubbed my belly lightly as if it were her own. When the rubbing stopped and she left my side I heard the door shut. I had never been so scared in all my life. My babies were at risk with her around. I broke down crying as I rubbed the sore spot on my belly.

Victor wrapped his arms around my shoulder and held me for a few minutes. Everything that he had done to me and Lissa was so bad but now he was the one comforting me. "Rose the next time she comes in here you agree with whatever she says. I don't know when your friends and family are coming but they are, you just have to hold out till then."

As he held me I set my hand on his knee, "they're yours now too Victor." He helped me back to the bed where I laid down and fell asleep thinking of my Dimitri and being safely wrapped in his arms.

Lissa's POV

I had never seen Dimitri so angry before. He blamed himself for leaving her alone when he knew he shouldn't. Adrian was reassuring him his mother would pay the price for hurting Rose. It did help Dimitri focus. Mikhail put the cuffs on us and the blind folds when we got to the gate to court. The guard at the gate congratulated him in a job well done. As soon as we were through the gates Mikhail took us to the jail cells. He knew we could get out but he needed to look at his device to tell us where Victor and Rose were. He couldn't do it in front of everyone so he told us he'd be back in about an hour.

"Dimitri she's going to be ok." I told him from the cell next to his. We were all put in separate cells.

"Can you go into her head yet?" Rose must have been very weak. Since she was taken I haven't been able to enter her head. I did get pulled in when Danialla hurt her. I had felt her fear, felt that she was beyond scared for herself, she was worried about her babies. Dimitri swore she would hurt for it in the end.

"No. I think she's weak." The doors to the cell entrance opened up and Mikhail came down.

He put his finger to his mouth when he came into view. Standing behind him was Danialla. She walked up to the cell with Adrian in it and proceeded to open the cell. She pulled him into an embrace kissing his head. He tried to pull away but she just held him tighter.

"Mother let them go. Please." He looked at Viktoria hoping nothing would hurt her.

"Adrian we could rule with their power. Now be a good boy and run along." She turned to me and gave me a smile. "Hello princess. It's too bad you will never get to know not only your sister here but those babies as well. You see I have no intentions of allowing Rose to live. Those babies I know will have powers and in an hour they will be born." She smiled at Dimitri.

"Mother you can't do that. She's my friend and I love her along with those babies. Please mom let me talk to her. Maybe I could find a way to get what you want without hurting her or the babies." Adrian held his mother's hand as he pleaded with her.

"Adrian Rose will not live. I refused to have her breathing. Those babies will belong to us. I've always wanted more and never could get pregnant. They will be powerful and think of me as their mother." When Danialla's eyes light up I knew she meant what she said. She was going to take those babies and keep them. It broke my heart to think of Rose not around for her babies.

Danialla pulled Adrian out of the cell area. Mikhail stayed and faced Dimitri. "I'm glad she came to get him. My tracker isn't working. He'll be able to tell us where they are. Until then I will see to it that you are informed on everything going on." He went and got us all something to eat as we waited for any news about Rose.

Adrian's POV

Walking out of the jail cell with my mother wrapped around me was the hardest thing I ever did. Viktoria was down there. I needed to find Rose and tell the others where she was. My mom told me as soon as we left that I tracker was found on Victor and was smashed to pieces. That meant nobody knew where they were.

"Mom you'll let me try to convince her won't you? Rose will probably listen to me. Just let me try." I knew she would give into me.

"Alright. She's in the west wing. In the room you stayed in when you were fifteen and causing me problems." She kissed his cheek, turned and walked away.

I waited till she was out of sight and then took off in a run. I have never fan so fast in my life. I had to make sure she was ok. Get back to the cells to tell them where she was and stop the doctor before he cut her open. There were four guards posted outside the room. I walked up casually and noticed they all had every kind of weapon they could fit on their bodies. All different kinds of guns and some ninja looking throw darts.

"I'm here to see the prisoners. I have permission from Queen Danialla." They studied me for a while and I was worried I might not get in.

"Lord Ivashkov, it's good to see you home. You're here to try and convince Rose to give over her power. Remember she's violent but she's very weak." They all smiled.

"Thank you." I said as I opened the door. Victor was sitting on the couch reading a book and Rose was sleeping in the bed. I closed the door and walked over to Victor. "Is she ok?" I asked him.

"No, your mother put a lot of pressure on her stomach. She was in a lot of pain." He put the book down to face me. "What are you doing here and what do you want?" it looked like Victor didn't know what side I was on and was playing naive at the moment.

"Victor your tracker was broken. Nobody knows where you two are. I had to play nice with my mother. The doctor will be here in less than an hour to take those babies." I walked over to Rose and ran my hand down her cheek. I still loved her but not in the same way. She would always be special to me but Viktoria was the one who held my heart.

"Rose wake up." I whispered in her ear. Her eyes opened up and I was shocked. She had been crying.

"Adrian? She hurt me so bad. It stills hurts." Her voice sounded like it was on the verge of tears. I laid my hands on her belly and let the magic heal what was causing her pain. I think she'll be having these babies one way or another in the next few days.

"Rose I need to go tell everyone where you are. The doctors going to be here soon. I'll be back with Dimitri, I promise." I kissed her cheek as her eyes closed again. She fell asleep.

"She's been sleeping for a long time. She needs Dimitri." Victor told me.

"Keep her safe till we return." I pulled open the door and shut it behind me.

"So did you give her a few lashings?" one of the guardians asked me. I wanted to yell back at him but knew I had a role to play. I smiled and shrugged my shoulders at him as I walked away.

Dimitri's POV

Rose must be so scared right now. Why didn't I listen to myself when I knew she shouldn't be left without me or her mother. She was so stubborn and I was so stupid. If anything happened to her or my babies I don't know if I could live with myself. Adrian has been gone for almost forty-five minutes now and feels like a lifetime has passed. All I want to do is tear the stupid door of its hinges and search for my Roza. We had all noticed Roza's belly had dropped, her timer was out and she was sleeping an awful lot. My little ones were coming early is what Yeva had told me. Her damn cryptic message didn't tell me it would be by the hands of a control freak.

Danialla was single handedly destroying our world. She would force Roza to give her the power and then Roza would die or worse she would live but the babies would die. I knew she couldn't survive that. We had all planned on getting back to the mansion in Russian after all this shit was settled. Lissa would have to stay here at court to get things in order and Janine planned on staying with her to make sure nobody tried to kill Lissa. Abe said he couldn't stand to live at the mansion while she was at court and planned on coming here to be with her.

All those plans were made before Roza was taken. I would get her back, I couldn't think any other way. The thought of her not being ok was torture. I could hear Viktoria lightly crying, she had been so worried that Adrian had been found out and they were doing horrible things to him. So when the door opened to the entrance of the cells we were all up on our feet trying to see who it was.

Mikhail looked relieved when he looked down the corridor so I was pretty sure it was Adrian.

"We need to move now." He said and with that the door to my cell was laying on the ground in front of me.

"Is she alright?" I asked him.

"Dimitri she's weak. She was in a lot of pain when I saw her. I healed what I could but I don't think she's doing too well." I pulled the door off my sisters and Bailey's cell while Janine removed Lissa and Sandy's cell doors. "She's in the west wing in room 120. Victor is with her and says she's been sleeping almost the whole time. There are four guardians guarding her door with guns and all other sorts of weapons." I made a grunting noise, guns were no match for a pissed off Russian with powers.

"Adrian where is your mother?" I asked the last thing I wanted was to run into her and put Roza's life at risk.

"She's meeting the doctor at the air strip. She's probably on her way back to Rose's room." Adrian said in a rush.

"There are eight guards outside the jail entrance so you'll have to find another way out. We can't let anyone be alerted to our escape." I shrugged my shoulders and walked down the corridor in the opposite direction of the exit. I punched the wall that would lead us into the back of the jail building. It was where food, towels and other needs were delivered so nobody would see us. As soon as there was a large enough whole I climbed out to look around. It was light outside so not too many people would be out and moving around.

"Adrian I need you to take Viktoria, Lissa, Bailey and Sandy somewhere safe." I started walking off when someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

"Dimitri we can't separate. Besides she might need more healing." Lissa said to me. I really didn't want them all to see what I was about to do to Danialla and her guardians.

"Lissa it's not going to be very pretty." I gave her a small smile trying to hide my anger.

"I don't care how pretty it won't be we are not separating." I just shook my head at started walking towards the west wing. I wasn't going to win this fight. I needed to get to Roza and all this arguing was just stupid.

"Let's get moving then. Adrian you do realize your mother will pay for hurting my Roza?" I didn't know how he would feel with me inflicting pain on is mom.

"Oh I know I have my own little pay back for her." He gave me a sinister smile.

We made our way to the west wing without being seen. As we came to the corner that would lead us to the hallway where the door to Roza's room was I put my hand on the ground allowing the power to generate through my hand to the floor and then to the guardians. We could hear them fall to the ground, just like they had fallen asleep. We made it to the door and I could hear people talking inside the room. Danialla's voice was sharp and angry.

"I told you I don't care how weak she is I want those babies out now!" she yelled at the doctor.

"You do realize it will kill her? It's very risky and the babies might not do to well being delivered this early." The doctor told her.

"She's due in about a month, that's not that early. Now do it or you will be thrown in jail!" I could hear the doctor going through his medical bag. Probably looking for something to knock Roza out or help with the pain.

I hit the door with such force it flew apart in pieces. One of the pieces hit the doctor knocking him to the floor. Danialla grabbed Roza around the neck pulling her in front of her. Roza was barely moving she was so weak. Danialla put the sharp scalpel she had in her hand to Roza's throat. I stopped dead in my tracks. She had put enough pressure on her throat that a few drops of blood ran down her neck.

"Mother let her go." Adrian yelled.

"You traitor! You will die for this Adrian. I don't care that you are my son, I will have this power." She moved to her side trying to get closer to the door. Victor was on the floor close to her with blood flowing from his head. Someone must have hit him hard.

"Danialla you hurt her and I will kill you slowly." I said really calm.

"Dimitri you could never hurt a Moroi." She said. She didn't understand that I'd kill just about anyone to make sure my Roza and babies were safe.

"Last warning Danialla. I will kill you if you hurt her anymore." Roza's eyes fluttered open, they were red from crying. She was pale I would have mistaken her for a Moroi if I didn't know her. "Roza, honey are you alright?" I asked taking a step forward.

Danialla moved the scapel from her neck to her stomach. She made a small cut over her belly button letting the blood flow out. Roza was so weak she didn't fight and she didn't cry out, only tears ran down her face.

"Dimitri" Roza said in a whisper. "I love you." She whispered again.

"Roza, I love you too sweetheart." I took another step forward. My heart was pulling me towards her. But with every set Danialla cut a little more. "Stop Danialla!" I yelled at her, she laughed at me. She brought her hand with the scalpel up like she was going to stab it into Rose's belly. When she came down Victor grabbed her arm swung her around and the knife came down on Victor's chest. Blood sprayed out, he collapsed to the floor taking Danialla with him.

I rushed forward to grab Roza before she hit the floor. Adrian pulled his mother off Victor throwing her to the side. Janine grabbed Danialla in a head lock while Adrian and Viktoria pulled Victor off the floor and laid him on the bed. Lissa put her hands on him and healed the long cut that ran across his chest. He was soaked in blood but his eyes looked at Lissa and he smiled at her. "Thank you Lissa. I don't deserve your healing touch." He said then closed his eyes. He probably needed blood.

I held Roza in my arms bridal style. She laid her head against my shoulder still crying. Lissa came over and healed the cut that she had but something was off about Roza. She cried out in pain then grabbed her belly. Before I had a chance to lay her down on the couch I could feel the warmth of fluid cover my arm. Roza's water had broken.

Hope you like this chapter. I know it's long but I only had two days before I have to concentrate on class work. I will update in a few days. Please review. Thank again, Mandy.
