RPOV

The moment Adrian talked I blushed a deep red and tried to shield my self with Dimitri's body, I was so embarrassed for being caught like this with Dimitri. I should have reminded him of closing the door, but why the hell didn't Adrian at least knock? I thought that because he was the Queen's nephew he'd have manners and not just come into a room like this.

"What are you doing in here Adrian, ever here of knocking?" I heard Dimitri say as he helped me to look for my dress, at the same time covering my naked upper body with the bedspread. I heard Adrian leave, closing the door behind him, and I let out a breath.

I stood up from Dimitri's embrace so fast that I almost fell on my butt but Dimitri caught me on time and handed me my dress.

"Roza take it easy, it's ok" He said but I just shook my head, not being able to make eye contact with him yet. It had been my fault that we ended up like this, I pushed him to his limit by teasing him and he gave in. but I didn't regretted it because I loved those moments I was with him.

Though it ended when things were getting hot because Adrian came in, God how was I going to look at him in the eyes knowing that he saw me sprawled on the bed with Dimitri having sex, or almost.

I found my panties on the floor but I couldn't get them because my belly was on the way so Dimitri handed them to me and I put them on, I didn't need a bra because of the dress so I just put it on and tried to fix my hair.

If my guilty face didn't gave me away then the messy hair and swollen lips would, my hair scream hot-make-out-cession-and-maybe-even-sex. Dimitri put on his jeans and tee back on and he was ready.

"Roza, I'm sorry. I should have closed the door" I shook my head. He came from behind me as I stared at my self in the mirror and wrapped his arms around me, placing them on my belly and caressing the spot where I was the more ticklish, just below my belly. I sighed and melted.

"I-it's ok" I managed to say and then woke my self up by reminding my self that Adrian was still in the living room, waiting for us. I kissed tilted my head upwards and kissed him, then I reminded him of Adrian and he made a sound low in his throat, like a growl. He wasn't very happy either.

We walked into the living room to find Adrian on the couch, head buried in his hands and looking very much devastated. I took that as a bad sign and grimaced. Dimitri realized the same and squeezed my hand. If there was something wrong we'd face it together, nothing would separate us now.

We sat in front of Adrian and he looked up, I tried avoiding his eyes.

"You were right, she was planning something" He began and I had the urge to cry. Why couldn't I just be happy?

Dimitri flinched beside me but kept his face normal, fighting for control again.

"What exactly is she planning?" He asked cautiously.

"She was going to do something about the trial where you both lied, she was very pissed off" I was right of course, she probably used Lissa's wedding as an excuse to lure me to her lair and do something about us.

I shouldn't have let Dimitri convince me of coming here so easily, I should have argued more to stay in Russia where she wouldn't be able to get us so effortlessly. This was so wrong.

"did she tell you something besides that, does she know that you knew about everything?" I answered my own question got up and started to pace back and forth around the room. "Of course not, you're not an idiot. You probably just asked about it in the most casual way so you wouldn't get involved in this. Great job" I ran a hand through my hand and almost screamed in frustration.

"Rose.." I spun around and cut him off.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't want to get involved either so it'll be better if you just leave and let Dimitri and I to talk about what we're going to do." Maybe talk to my Father, he'd help us.

Adrian looked hurt but he still shook his head.

"Adrian, we have to think about this. I'll let you know later what we decide so just please try to distract your aunt for a couple of hours, if you can till after the wedding" Dimitri began, looking very pissed off. "We need as much time as we can have.

"I already have the solution" I stopped pacing around the room and face him. Just a couple of minutes and he already knew what to do? I wanted to kiss him! But he knew better his aunt, which was very helpful.

Dimitri looked skeptical but asked anyways.

"What is that? I hope it's good Adrian" Adrian smiled sadly.

"Well a small white lie can be covered by another one, right?" I didn't like where this was going already. If he lied then things were going to get ugly and worse. I wanted to make things better not worse and Adrian maybe already tainted my only opportunity.

I groaned and sat beside Dimitri again, he pulled me closer to him. At that moment I needed his comfort so much because I felt like the world was falling on me.

Dimitri exhaled noisily also knowing that Adrian's lies weren't going to do any good.

"What did you say this time?" Dimitri rubbed his forehead and closed his eyes.

"please don't get angry, it was the only thing that came to my mind when she mentioned it and you won't have to do anything else but to play along. Nobody else will have to know and it will be over when you go back to your place" At this moment I already knew it was very bad.

"Just say it already!" I almost screamed and he nodded.

"The queen things that your baby is mine" I gaped at him, he did not just say that.

Dimitri did growl this time and I half rose form my seat.

"What! She thinks what?" I demanded and he flinched.

"She thought about it first, it wasn't my idea." He said defensively and I gritted my teeth. How could he even say that, he lied by saying that my baby was his. No way in this life time would I ever even kiss him for real.

"why would she even think that Adrian?" Dimitri asked, he was almost on his feet.

"Because I was defending Rose every time she said something and she figured that it was mine because she knows perfectly fine that Rose's baby couldn't be yours," Dimitri shot him a look. "What were you expecting people to believe if we know that Damphirs can't have babies with Damphirs?" Well he had a point but still, he should have done that.

"So?" I said sounding annoyingly like a little girl. I kicked my self mentally for letting such a juvenile behavior slip.

"Well, she thinks that your baby is also mine and that I sent you to Russia with Dimitri when you told me about the baby because he was resigning and that you fell in love with him there. That's why I went so fast to Russia when I realized that you had been kidnapped." Dimitri winced at the memory of it. "She believed me and wants to keep my little affair a secret, so I don't see why it wouldn't work. For her you didn't lie at the trial though that's exactly what she thought at first."

"But if she ever sees the baby she'll realize that we lied to her, because you have dark hair and Dimitri and I have brown hair and eyes. Yours are green, she won't believe anything." I was so frustrated and some tears rolled down my face.

I didn't even notice the pain that started to form in my head or in my belly, I didn't notice anything till it was too late to even try to control. The pain was there, making me flinch and almost groan. Really, was it going to be this way? Great, now I was talking to my self. Not a good sign, but at this moment nobody could blame me.

Though I didn't let anybody see the pain I was in, afraid that they might do something drastic like take me to a hospital.

"She doesn't have to see the baby, we have to keep this up if you don't want to have any problems with her. I'm trying to help but you guys have to do as I tell you" He was being serious and if I didn't know he had been sober for the last couple of weeks I'd thought he was drunk.

"What did she say when you told her that it was yours?" I asked, trying not to sound as distressed as I felt because I didn't want to give anything away.

I stroke my belly to try to calm the baby because the baby was kicking and I felt a stinging pain, suddenly my belly felt really tight. But I ignored it as a result of all the stress I was in.

"Well, let's just say that for respect I won't say them. I don't think any of you would appreciate them" He was being polite and sensitive, something that I didn't think Adrian could be.

Just then someone knocked on the door, Dimitri stood up and opened it, for a moment we stayed silent as Viktoria. She had a weird look on her face, kind of guilty and nervous. Maybe she thought that this had to do with her relationship with Adrian and that she might let something out, this was definitely not the moment for that kind of mistakes because Dimitri was in a really bad mood.

"It has nothing to do with that" I said a little too loud and obvious, Adrian and Dimitri turned to me, Dimitri looked confused and Adrian was looking at me like I just confessed the fact that he killed someone.

"With what Roza?" Viktoria seemed relieved so I came up with something to tell Dimitri.

"Nothing, just something between Viktoria and me" He didn't seem convinced but we had to talk about other things so he let it go.

Adrian told everything again, because Viktoria didn't know and she evidently didn't like it more than it pleased Dimitri. They were so much alike that I was rather worried my baby would be like that. So serious and all.

"You really think that she won't realize the lie?" Her tone was harsh and Adrian flinched a little.

"I hope not, but it was the only thing I could do to keep Dimitri and Rose out of trouble. Besides what's wrong with it, I pretend to be the Father of her baby, Dimitri the guy who loves the girl so much that he's willing to accept the child of another man, for a generous pay," Dimitri made a sound that sounded very much like growl. "and Rose the victim in all these. It's perfect" Viktoria shook her head disapprovingly and turned to me, her expression softened, for a seventeen year old girl she was kind of scary sometimes.

"Rose are you ok with this, don't you think is too risky?" I sighed, and tried to keep my voice steady from the pain of the kicks the baby was giving me.

"We have no other option, it doesn't matter much if it's the only way to keep me and Dimitri out of trouble, not to mention our baby. Do you guys have any idea what the Queen would say if she knew that it was possible to reproduce between Damphirs when one of them is shadow kissed? I don't even want to think about it." My voice sound restrained but I was hoping they'd take it as mere frustration.

"We can't risk anything, though I think that we should be extremely careful about this. Only tell Lissa and Christian, nobody else." Dimitri's commanding tone made us all nod, it had been a while since he'd used it. Last time was when we were still at the Academy.

"I agree, but sooner or later she'll want to talk to both of you. That's why I came here so you wouldn't be caught off guard." He seemed so sincere and I knew his intentions had been to do well but I couldn't help the bitterness I felt. It was obvious that the Queen wouldn't doubt that I slept with her nephew because she thought I was a complete whore.

"Thank you Adrian, I'm sorry if I'm being too hard on you" I closed my eyes and buried my face in my hands, I was feeling like crap and this problem was putting me in such a bad mood.

"Its ok Rose, I know it must be very hard for you two" He exhaled as if he'd been holding his breath for long and stood up. I looked up and tried to look smug or something other than in pain.

"Adrian, take care" I said, stealing a sideways glance at Viktoria.

"You too Rose" he said and left but Viktoria stayed a while to talk to Dimitri, in Russian, so I went back to the room and took a nap that I deserved, not really caring if it was about something important or not.

"Roza, wake up" I heard someone say, Dimitri's voice was so close to my ear and it felt good. I sighed and rolled to my other side to face him. I opened my eyes and smiled at him, but he wasn't smiling, he looked worried.

"What happened?" I asked as I sat up and got out of bed with his help. My belly was on the way and I was seriously pissed that I couldn't do anything without his help.

"The queen requested our presence, she wants to talk to both of us only" The blood ran cold through my veins and I felt as if someone just punched me in the gut. We were so dead, doomed, caboo! Gone.

I looked at him with horror and he pulled me closer to him, his lips touched my forehead slightly. I didn't want anything happening to any of us, I was here for Lissa's wedding not to get punished for loving Dimitri. I hugged him tight not knowing if this would be the last time. I wasn't going to let the queen get him away from me, from our daughter. We were supposed to be finally happy, not having to worry about anything, and yet here I was trying to think of some excuse in case the Queen realized that her own nephew lied to her.

"Everything will be alright Roza, you'll see" He reassured me but I wasn't so sure at all. This time it wasn't in his hands to decide that and I was afraid, so afraid.

"No it won't, what if she already found out about us and now wants to do something about it?" I asked, not wanting to believe that she believed Adrian's lies. She was smarter than that, or at least she looked like it.

"Roza, please. Don't think like that, let's just go and find out what she wants. I'm sure that she only wants to verify Adrian's part of the story." Well, that could be true… but I still didn't believe it, couldn't believe it.

"Ok" Was all I said and walked out of our small room towards the Queen's office. The whole time I wondered what she could do about it, I wasn't well informed in laws, I only knew that the best she could hit us with was with the fact that we lied at the trial because my relationship with Dimitri now was insignificant. We were getting married and it was an old story already. She couldn't do anything about it, it was only the lie at the trial, right?

There was nothing more, I didn't really got involved with Adrian, Lissa has nothing to do with this so it was just me and Dimitri she could ruin. She had nothing on Adrian, as far as I knew, or Viktoria. My Father could help me, I was sure of it, that if I asked for a lawyer or anything to help me.

So I was supposed to be calmer, yet I couldn't. My pulse was probably way higher than normal and the baby was trying to move but there was not much space for her anymore because I was completely big, as big as I could get at seven months. So she was kicking and making me uncomfortable all the way to the queen's office.

Dimitri's arm around my waits was holding most of my weight because it was just too much for me and I was still tired, my dress made me look bigger and far ahead of my pregnancy, like nine or eight months, and it was kind of short. I liked them like that because Dimitri said I looked prettier and cuter than ever like that so I wore them.

When we were in front of the door and it opened I nearly had a heart attack, my breath caught in my throat and I felt sick. It was nearly impossible to keep walking when I knew I was going into the wolf's mouth or cave however it was. One of my arms was linked to one of Dimitri's so I felt him square his shoulder and tense.

What will the Queen say? Do you guys think she figured out the lie or not? I think that the part when Adrian caught Dimitri and Rose together was rather funny. In those moments the story needed something to ease the tension a little bit so I think is ok. But please tell me what you think and try to guess what will happen, if you do then I'll write a story on whatever you ask me and send it to you through e-mail or private message.

Options:

Alternative version of Blood promise and therefore change SP. (Just a short entrée on what the story that I'll publish soon is about)Alternative world in which Dimitri and Rose are whatever you want them to be. They could be humans, Moroi, Strigoi… whatever. (I will actually also write something about that.)A small preview of the third part of this story in which you'll see how right you are and you will love it. (Story will take some time to write but it will be done soon)

So these are your options and I really hope you like them. Whatever you want to tell me just review. Tell me if there is something wrong with my story and I also just remembered that some of you asked me how it was possible for a Damphir to get pregnant with another Damphir's child, I'll answer that question in the third part of the story. Maybe at the end of this part, I'm not sure yet.

None of this belongs to me but to the amazing Richelle Mead.

Please review.
