I am so sorry for not updating in forever. There is no excuse. Actually there is. My brother and I switched rooms, which means that i also lost my desktop to him. My dad told me he was going to get me a lap top instead but we never really got around to it. I am now currently typing on my old dinosaur of a lap top that I dug out of the closet cause I felt bad for not updating. I might be getting that new laptop this weekend so fingers crossed! So on with the story!

CHAPTER 25 ROSES POV
It's been about three months since we arrived back from Hawaii. I had entered the second trimester with what I thought was ease. Apparently, according to Dimitri, not so much. Apparently I was moody, horny, had major cravings, and got in multiple fights with people each day. These facts caused a one way fight between Dimitri and I, which consisted of me screaming and cursing at Dimitri while pounding on his chest while he tried to hold back laugher and attempting to calm me down. This of course lead to him making love to me on our dining room table. That was actually a summary of each day of my second trimester. A typical day went like this.
We would wake up and i would tease Dimitri a little bit until we ended up having sex. We would fight over something stupid. Dimitri would leave for his shift, usually after I threw something at him. Lissa would come over to see me crying and eating a nasty combination of food. She would pull me up off my ass and force me to plan her wedding with her. She would leave to go see Christian and I would go out to see my Comrade. I would find him on his shift and we would have hot sweaty make up sex right then and there. I would go back home and rest then he would come home a few hours later and I would practically jump him.`We would have more sex until it was around dinner time. We would have a big family dinner with our whole group until everyone couldn't take it Dimitri and I's P.D.A and they would leave us. Then we would take a nice long um... Shower and fall asleep together. Yup that pretty much sums it up.
Anyway I was about 26 weeks pregnant and it looked like someone was slowly filling a balloon under my shirt with helium. The pregnancy caused me to glow and besides my growing belly and swollen breast everything else about me was in perfect shape. Dimitri had me doing regular light workouts to keep me healthy and to attempt to keep my mood stable (apparently he read somewhere that exercise helped keep a pregnant women's mood in check).
It was now the day before the new school year, and my new job started. All the kids, new and old, began to arrive for their next year of hell. I couldn't believe that those seniors were Liss and I last year. Dimitri had the early morning shift this morning so he would be meeting us at breakfast. I headed down to the teachers lounge to meet the group for breakfast. Wow, I cant believe I am saying that. Never in a million years would I have thought I would be going to the teachers lounge for breakfast. Everyone was already at our table including my Comrade. I smiled at my friends and walked over to the table and popped a squat right on Dimitri's lap.
I was always worried about being too fat to be sitting on Dimitri's lap while pregnant until he decided to show me just how strong he was. First got down on the floor in push up position and told me to sit on his back. I did and he began to push ups effortlessly after thirty-five I was convinced he would be fine if I weight three times my weight. Just to reassure me he picked me up with only one arm. I had just rolled my eyes at him.
"... Rose, ROSE! Did you hear what Adrian said? He and Juliet have an announcement to make." Lissa said, waving her hand in my face.
"What. Okay, fine. Get on with it!" I said waving my hand dismisavly. I took a crispy chicken nugget off the plate of food that Dimitri made me and dipped it in a little bowl of maple syrup.
Adrian cringed. "Anyway, I, well we, have an announcement to make!" Adrian said grabbing hold of Juliet's hand.
"Great, your pregnant too. Mia, Lissa? Are you guys also pregnant? This is so perfect we can be like the pregnancy pack an-" Adrian cut me off.
"No Rose. We aren't pregnant." Adrian said rolling his eyes. "This actually has to do with Juliet's true identity." Everyone looked at him like he had grown a third eye. What the hell. Juliet was Juliet. She was Juliet Badica, the moroi girl that stole Adrian's heart at the royal court, right? Adrian looked to Juliet and nodded at her. She nodded back and slipped off the silver ring she always wore on her left hand. Everyone gasped. Then silence.
...
Everyone stared wide eyed in silence. Even Dimitri, and only I rendered Dimitri silent. The girl that sat before us was no Juliet Badica, a royal moroi. The girl before us was, was, human. She had shoulder length golden blond hair and hazel eyes. She was a petite girl with a odd golden tattoo around her left eye. She wasn't just a human she was an alchemist.
"HOLY SH-" Dimitri snapped out of his daze and covered my mouth muffling the worlds before they came out of my mouth.
"Everybody, this is my Sydney Sage." Adrian introduced us for the second time. She blushed red and smiled shyly.
"Hey again, guys." She smiled tentavily.
"Why?" Lissa asked. She wasn't mad. That wasn't in Lissa's character. She was just curious, like everyone else.
"Well, that day at the royal court Sydney obviously wasn't hanging out with some of my college friends, she was really in an alchemist meeting with my aunt. She was exiting just as I was entering and I believe it was love at first sight. She of course was scared shitless of me because I am a, and I quote 'an evil creature of the night'. I turned on the Ivashkov charm and tried to get her but of course she turned me down. The next day we met again and she just couldn't resist." Adrian said shooting her a lazer white smile. "We had a picnic in perfect daylight, which is saying something since I, as a moroi, hate the sun. I convinced her that I was good and even could step foot in a church if need be. She finally though that I was holy enough for her liking and agreed to come back to the academy with me so that she could meet you guys. After talking to her handlers i convinced them that the academy needed a new alchemist. Now the only problem was that my parents wouldn't be to welcoming of a human dating there son. So I made a spirit ring for her to mask her appearence so that my parents wouldn't get suspicious. We were just waiting for the right time to tell you guys." Adrian finished with his pretty boy smile.
"W O W." Mia summed up everyone's comments in one word. Adrian kissed her on the cheek.
"Well while we are making big announcements..." Lissa smiled and looked at Christian. "Where pregnant!" Lissa squealed. I spewed all the apple juice I was about to swallow on Eddie. His eyes widened in shock and wiped the juice off his forehead.
"Thanks Rose." He said monotone. I was too busy twitching at Christian to reply.
"YOU. GOT. LISSA. PREGNANT." I said blinking a few times. Christian nodded. He looked like he was about to take off in a sprint at any second.
"YOU STUCK YOUR FILTHY DICK IN MY SISTERS VAGINA! YOU NASTY LITTLE CHODE! I AM GOING TO CASTRATE YOU AND FEED YOUR DICK TO A CAMAL!" I said jumping up and getting ready to jump over the table. I was about to pounce when Dimitri wrapped his arms around my waste and pulled me against his chest. He rubbed some soothing circles in my belly and began to whisper soothing words in my ear.
"How are you mad at me? Dimitri got you pregnant when you were SEVENTEEN! He is twenty-four, Rose!At least Liss and I are the same age." Christian yelled. I hissed at him and Dimitri tightened his hold on me and growled a little. Even thought Christian wasn't a threat to me, Dimitri still was there to protect me. Lissa stood up and stood in front of Christian, trying to seperate us.
"Rose everything is fine. Yes we are pregnant and I couldn't be happier." I relaxed a little and Dimitri loosened his hold. I took a few deep breaths before speaking again.
"Sorry about that you guys. I don't know what came over me. These stupid hormones are driving me crazy. Of course I am happy for you. I'm extatic!" I looked to Christian, he looked at me like I was crazy. "My bad Christian. I promise I won't cut off your dick." I said with a smile and hugged him. Then I quickly sucker-punched him in the balls. All the air rushed out of his mouth and he fell to the floor clutching his nuts.
"That's my Roza." Dimitri said and wrapping his arms around me and rubbing is nose in my hair, breathing in. I giggled and nuzzled my face in his chest before reaching up on my tip toes and kissing him. The passion slowly grew and i braided my fingers in his hair as he clutched my ass and hitched one of my legs around his waste. A clearing of the throat brought us back to reality. Everyone was sitting back at the table waiting patiently for us to finish, except Eddie, who was still covered in apple juice, and Christian, who was just an ass wipe.
Dimitri and I went to sit back down. Me on his lap. "Any other surprises while we are at it?" I asked, looking around the room expectantly.
"Well..." Lissa said. "We are getting married next Saturday." I spewed my apple juice all over Eddie again. He glared at me.
"Really, Rose?" Eddie yelled before storming off in the direction of the mens bathroom.
"How the hell am I sopossed to plan a wedding in a week, while pregnant!" I yelled. "When did this come up? Holy shit I have to get the flowers and fly to court. Oh god the dresses!" I continued to ramble. Then jumped up and pulled Lissa up with me. "YOUR GETTING MARRIED!" I yelled with her. She smiled and giggled with me.
"Why so soon?" Asked Sydney.
"Well I don't think the queen will be too happy with Christian and I having a child out of wedlock, so we are going to get married before she finds out about the child." Lissa explained. All the girls fell into conversation about Lissa's sudden wedding, While the guys talked about some football team. I think they said something about how the stealers match up against the packers this season. I just sat in Dimitri's lap and fiddled with a piece of his hair as he absently rubbed my bulging belly. It was about eleven o'clock when everyone decided to get started with there day. It was a little late because everyone was taking their time, dreading the next day of teaching.
Dimitri and I left the lounge hand and hand. We started to head to the guardian building to pick up Dimitri's guarding schedule and my teaching schedule. Dimitri would help me teach just because I was pregnant but once my little bugger was out, the class was mine. Once we got to the office we went to each of our cubbies to pick up the next two months schedule. I glanced over mine.
Monday: 2nd Period 9th grade combat
3rd Period 9th grade combat
Tuesday: 2nd Period 9th grade combat
3rd Period 9th grade combat
Wednesday: 2nd Period 9th grade combat
3rd Period 9th grade combat
Thursday: 2nd Period 9th grade combat
3rd Period 9th grade combat
Friday: 2nd Period 9th grade combat
3rd Period 9th grade combat
Dimitri's schedule had all those same dates, plus shifts. There were three in particular that I really didn't like. Monday, Thursday, and Saturday he had graveyard shift. Which meant he went from eight o'clock at night tell four o'clock in the morning (our time). I felt the tears well up in my eyes. Dimitri looked at me confused. "Whats wrong Roza?" Dimitri asked me. I began to sob.
"Shift, and, and night and no sleeping with me..." I cried wrapping my arms around his waist.
He shushed me in a comforting way and and hugged me close to him. "We will figure everything out, it will be just fine." He comforted me. I tried to quiet down a little and my sobs turned into small tears. I looked up at him and nodded. I pecked his lips and just as I was going to pull away, he pulled me closer and locked our lips together. We stared to get really into it. Meaning his hands were up my shirt and my hands traveled down and squeezed his butt. I giggled a little and continued to make out with him.
We heard someone clear their throat and a voice that sounded strangely like Alberta's. "Guardians Belikov, Hathaway?" She asked us. We broke apart to see Alberta with five new students behind her. They were looking at us wide eyes and were giggling.
Dimitri cleared his throat trying to get the huskiness out of his voice. "Guardian Petrov." He nodded, looking frazzled, and wrapped his arm around me. I leaned into him and put a hand on the side of my belly. Alberta smiled nicely at me and the kids looked amazed.
"Anyway." Alberta said, changing the subject. "These are the transfer students this year. I thought you guys might be able to give them a tour of the school since you guys obviously know it so well." She smirked giving us a knowing look. Alberta was obviously referring to all the times she had found us in odd places of the school doing, um, explicit activities.
I smiled sweetly at her. "Of course, we will Alberta. Right Comrade?" I asked looking at Dimitri. He nodded at me.
"Alright, well I will leave you to it." She said giving us one final look before walking off into her office. I turned towards the kids once she walked off. They were about fourteen and all damphirs, which meant they would probably be in one of my classes. There were two girls and three boys. They looked at us expectantly. Ugh, fourteen year-olds. I remember that age. I could see they were slightly ogling us. What can I say, we are a beautiful couple.
"So..." Dimitri said trying to break the ice. "I'm Dimitri Belikov, and this is my girlfriend, Rose Hathaway." He said. "And you guys are..." Dimitri asked.
The first girl stepped up. She was a little shorter than me and looked like a typical dhampir. She had long dirty blonde hair, hazel eyes, and a deep tan. "I'm Mary and this is my twin brother, Alex." She told us pointing to the boy standing next to her. He looked like the boy version of her. "He's a little shy." She explained. "We are from the academy in florida." That would explain the tanned skin.
The next girl spoke up. She also had tan skin, but she had light brown hair and green eyes. "I'm Katrina and I'm also from the academy in Florida." She said. Oh thank god they know each other. This would be so awkward if they didn't. Next were the two other boys. The first one was dirty blonde and had navy blue eyes. And the one next to him had bright red hair and clear aqua eyes. He looked exactly like Mason. They were both lighter than the other three. The first one spoke next. He stepped forward and took my hand, kissing it lightly. Oh, god he was just like Adrian when I first met him. I chuckled lightly and Dimitri gave him a warning look. He straightened up automatically.
"Alexandr Tricoski, straight from St. Andrei's Academy in Maine. And I must say you are very beautiful." He said flashing me a smile. I chuckled and ruffled his hair a bit. He frowned a bit at me.
"Please I'm old enough to be your mother." I chuckled. Dimitri pulled me closer and tightened his hold on me.
"No your not! Your only eighteen." He complained.
"Ya? Well I'm also pregnant." I told him.
"But-"
I cut him off. "Get out of here, squirt." I laughed and jokingly pushed him back. I turned to the Mason looking boy. "And you are?" I asked gently.
"Andreas Smith straight from St. Andrei's." He said with a boyish smile.
"Well now that those introductions are done lets get on with the tour." Dimitri said. We began walking back to the high school campus, us in front of the kids. Mary walked up so that she was next to us. Dimitri and I looked over at her.
"So are you guys like, together?" She asked, straightforward. I attempted to raise my eyebrow at her.
"Wha-" I was about to ask when she cut me off.
"Oh come on. We aren't blind, nor are we ten. We know when two people are into each other." She said.
"Does it look like we are together?" I asked, looking at Dimitri's arm around me.
"Ya, but your like pregnant and guardians and stuff." She said confused.
"Yes well when a girl and a guy like each other very much and have discussed it over the boy then puts his dick in the girls-" Dimitri once again covered my mouth with his hand. I licked his hand and he narrowed his eyes at me.
"Roza." He said, warning me.
"I was just trying to explain the beauty of conceiving a baby to them, Comrade. If you want we could go a certain cabin." I said wiggling my eyebrows at him. He sighed and shook his head at me.
"We obviously know what having sex is." She said like we were mentally challenged. "I mean your both dhampirs. It's just not physically possible."
"Basically I was brought back to life by my spirit using best friend. She put some of her DNA into mine. Making me more dhampir than moroi." I told them. I was really getting sick of telling that story. Maybe I will make a sign saying Im shadow kissed, and yes this child is the idiot's next to me!
"Oh. right of course." She said. We continued the tour showing them the gym, the classrooms, the dorms, the commons, the cafeteria, and finally dropping them off at Kirova's. Man, those kids were getting on my nerves. They kept asking questions about Dimitri and I's sex live. What the fuck was that? Who asks things like that?
By the time the tour was over it was four o'clock and i was dead beat. My feet were swollen, my back was aching, my breast were tender, and Serena was kicking the shit out of me. Dimitri ended up giving me a piggy back ride to our apartment. He gently sat me down on our large couch and headed over to our little kitchen.
"What'd ya want for dinner, babe?" He asked.
"Comrade." I groaned and got up off the couch. I went over to the kitchen and stopped Dimitri. "Thats more my department." I told him waddling over to the pantry and grabbing a box of pasta out of it. Dimitri took the pasta from me and set it on the counter. He pinned me there and leaned towards me. he picked me up and set me up on the counter. He kissed my lips for a while before moving to the fridge and grabbing some chicken.
"I will make it and I promise you can correct me on anything I do." He told me ask he got to work boiling water for pasta and heating up the chicken while I watched. He actually did the dinner just fine and I was shocked. We ate together in peace. But as everyone knows there is always a calm before a storm. And that storm was Lissa. She whirled into the room like a tornado, wedding magazins and all. She immeadiatly began talking.
"... Alright so I want my color theme to be light pink, peach, and cream, and maybe some light brown accents since it is a fall wedding. I already booked flights and the queen insists that the wedding takes place in the main royal garden with the reception in the grand ballroom. The flowers in the gardens are being died peach, cream, and light pick as we speak... Oh Dimitri! Your family is being flown out to the royal court, they will arrive thursday morning, one day after we do..." She trialed off setting all the magazines on our coffee table and taping madly on her iphone. I looked at Dimitri with wide eyes and mouthed help. He chuckled and scooted me towards the living room.
"She's all yours, Lissa. I'm heading to the gym." He said before giving me a peck on the lips and strolling out the door with his gym bag. "Bye baby." He called as he shut the front door. I huffed. This is going to be a long night.
As I said I am so so sorry for the long wait. I really just didn't have the time or the resources to get to a computer. This chapter is a little choppy because, well, I am trying to get it up as soon as possible. I will be writing the next chapter once this one is updated. I know its been a long time coming. Updates will be regular from now on :) I didn't mean to upset anyone by the long wait. I still love you all! REMEMBER TO REVIEW!
