LAST CHAPTER

"Rose, when was the last time you and Dimitri had sex?"

"Ummm, we had sex at the house a few nights ago, but that day we went to the beach we had sex in the shower."

"Okay. Do you and Dimitri use condoms?"

OH. SHIT.

"We've never used a condom." Oh God could I be pregnant?

"Rose, we may need to get you a pregnancy test, Immediately."

"Let me check my calendar for my last period."

I unlocked my phone and went to my period diary. I felt my face pale as I read the calendar.

"Liss," I croaked. "I was supposed to have my period last week."

"When did you and Dimitri first have sex?"

"The night we went to the club. Then two more times that weekend. That was two weeks ago. I might be pregnant Liss. Oh my god. A baby." I whispered as tears ran down my face.

RPOV

I couldn't believe it. I could be pregnant. I'm twenty-six, and a princess.

Well FUCK.

Dimitri is going to be in for it. He impregnated me, and we aren't married. That's bad. I have to get married, soon. I f I bring an heir to the throne without a husband, it'll seem like I have sex for leisure. I mean I do, but I wasn't pregnant before. Dimitri's life will be thrown to the sharks. News reporters, tv reporters, paparazzi will pick about every detal of his life and publicize it.

"Liss," I said. "I have to take a pregnancy test, really soon."

"We can get Karolina to get it for you. She would know where to find them and could read us the instructions."

"You're right, now we have to wait for them to get home. If I am pregnant, what would you think?"

"Rose," Lissa whispered. "You're going to be a wonderful mom. I can already see you in your McMansion with little Rose and Dimitris running around! I can't wait for you to have a baby! I'm going to spoil them rotten!"

"Thanks and I already knew you were. I think that we get through the first pregnancy."

LATER THAT DAY

"We're home!" Olena shouted through the door.

Liss and I sat on the couch in the foyer. Dimitri and Christian were working out in the basement. I suspect that they were really playing video games. Men; can't live with them, can't live without them.

"Roza? Lissa? Where are Dimitri and Christian?" Olena asked. She looked worried that we were upstairs alone.

"They're in the basement. We were waiting on you guys actually. Where's Karolina?"

"I'm in the kitchen! And call me Karo Roza!" she yelled.

"I'll be back Liss."

I walked into the kitchen like I was approaching the gates of hell. I didn't know how Karolina was going to take my maybe news about being pregnant.

"Hey, what's up Roza?"

"Hey Karolina-Karo. I need a huge favor."

"Do you want to see Dimitri's baby pictures now?"

"Uh no, that can wait for later. I have another favor."

"Well shoot."

I bit my lip. It was now or never. 'Get a grip Rose!' My brain shouted at me.

"Can you buy a pregnancy test for me?"

Karo stared at me for what seemedd like the longest minute of my life.

And then she screamed.

"What's wrong?! Is everything alright!?" Olena screamed as she ran intot he kitchen. Liss and the other Belikov women stood behind her.

"Yes everything's perfect! Roza's preggo!"

"YAY!" Olena yelled. "nother Belikov baby, I can't wait for the birth! The baby will be so beautiful and-"

"Wait wait wait!" I whisper-yelled. "There's a possibility that I could be pregnant. I'm not positively sure. I need a pregnancy test, but I can't read Russian. Will one of you please go buy me one. I need to keep this on the down low, so no telling Dimitri or Christian or Paul."

Everyone nodded.

"I have a pregnancy test in my bathroom. "Karolina said.

We all stared at her.

"What? I never know if another aul is going to come, so I stay prepared."

"Can I use it and you read me the results?"

"Of course Roza."

She grabbed my hand and I grabbed Lissa's. We jogged upstairs to Karo's bathroom. She pulled the box out of a cabinet and looked at the back.

"Okay it says that if it gives a plus sign you're pregnant and a minus sign means you're not. Just pee on the stick and wait two minutes. I'll be waiting outside. Tell me when you're done."

She left the bathroom and I looked at Liss.

"Do you wanna stay?" I asked. It didn't bother me, she had heard me pee before.

"Yeah, but I'll turn around. Are you ready Rose?"

"I have to be. Turn."

She turned around and I did my business on the stick.

"Okay, we you can turn around now. In two minutes we'll know if I'm destined to have a baby at twenty-six." I half-seriously joked.

Liss cracked a smile but said nothing.

The tension was killing me. These were the two longest minutes of my life. The stick finally beeped. My insides churned and my hands started to sweat. I was crazy nervous.

"Oh God Liss, I can't look."

"Okay Rose, just calm down. I'll look for you."

Okay."

Liss gasped when she picked up the stick.

"Rose... you're pregnant."

We stared at eachother, both of us too shocked to say anything.

"YES!"

"The fuck?" I said.

I opened the door to see Olena, Karo, Vik, Sonya, and Yeva grinning at me. Olena's eyes were practically flooding with tears.

"Oh Roza you don't know how happy you've made me. I can finally have a grandbaby by my only son. I'm crying becuse I'm happy Roza. This is going to be perfect."

"Oh Roza, we're so excited."

"I am too." I smiled.

Liss smiled at me. "We've all got your back Rose. You can count on us. We won't tell Dimitri, Christian, opr the kids. Right ladies?"

"Right!" they all chorused.

My eyes began to water. Before I could even think about it, I was bawling my eyes out.

"Aww, Rose don't cry." Liss said.

She hugged me. Soon I was wrapped up in what felt like millions of hugs.

"Plan on crying a lot more Roza. It's just the hormones. You'll start crying about puppies being happy. It's ridiculous." Karolina laughed.

I smiled again. I was happy but scared. My mother would have a ehart attack. I din't know how Dimitri would ract to the pregnancy and to having hisd whole life in the light.
