Chapter 27:
Weeks and days had passed and today was the day for the baby scan. We were all going. Mum, dad, Dimitri, Lissa, Christian and of course myself. It turns out Dhampir births are a lot quicker than human babies and the baby will be due in a few months. Today we get to see if the baby is a boy or a girl. To be honest, I don't really mind what the baby is, but I think Dimitri would like both. Of course, that wouldn't happen seeing as it isn't twins, and I doubt other people would give us a kid.
But Dimitri and I didn't mind what the baby was. We had decided on Stefan Shane Belikov if it was a boy, and Christian Bree Belikov if it was a girl. My parents didn't mind that we wanted the last name to be Belikov, because Dimitri and I were eventually going to get married. But I was going to change my name to Hathaway-Belikov so I can keep the name Guardian Hathaway. That way we don't get confused when someone asks for Guardian Belikov.
We were currently waiting in the waiting room, waiting for my mother's name to be called out. We hadn't been waiting around very long, but I could tell my mother was getting bored. Always so impatient.
"Janine Hathaway," a lady called, in a nurses uniform. We all stood up and went to the room where my mother laid down in one of those weird chair/bed things. She pulled her t-shirt up, high enough to reveal her stomach, and the nurse put some cold jelly thing on her belly.
"Ok Miss Hathaway, I'm just checking for the babies heart beat and then we will be able to see if it is a boy or a girl. a\Any preferences for the sex?" she asked my mother.
"Actually, my daughter and her fiancé can't have children so they are going to adopt this baby. We don't really mind what the sex is—as long as it is healthy—and neither do they," my father added in to the conversation and nodded in our direction when he mentioned Dimitri and myself.
We both smiled politely. The nurse stood up and excused herself for a moment. She still hadn't found the heart beat.
"There is something wrong with the baby. She can't find a heartbeat!" I panicked quickly. Dimitri rubbed soothing circles on my back.
"It's ok, Rose. Nothing is wrong. They will find the heart beat," Dimitri said, trying to stop my worrying.
The nurse came in again with a doctor following her. The doctor finally found a heart beat, but it was very faint.
"I'm afraid to tell you that the heart beat is very faint, and we are worried that the baby may be a still born," the doctor said. It was then that I noticed he was a Moroi and the nurse was a Dhampir. That's when Lissa went up to my mother, shoved my father out the way and knelt down. Her hand was placed on my mother's stomach, and that's when I realized she was going to try to heal the baby to make it strong again.
Before anyone tried to stop her using up her magic, I felt the burst of joy I always feel when Lissa uses her spirit magic. I could feel it. Picture the baby growing stronger and healthy as Lissa carried on healing the baby. Then the joy feeling stopped and Lissa stood back up.
"Search for the heart beat again," Lissa told the doctor and nurse. The nurse looked skeptical but looked for the heart beat anyway. And that's when I heard the most precious sound: A strong, healthy heartbeat. Mine and Dimitri's baby's heart beat. I turned around to give Dimitri a cuddle and he hugged me back, kissing the top of my head, and I could feel the growing grin from his lips.
I looked up to him and smiled at his cheesy grin. Dimitri leaned down and kissed me quickly.
"That is very strange, but the baby's heart beat is stronger now, and probably isn't in any danger. Would you like to know the sex?" the nurse asked us.
We nodded our heads and waited for the result.
"The baby is a…."
Ok what shall it be? Review and give me your opinions. Can I just give a big thank you to JACOBS-GURL-FOREVER as she gave me this idea and I want to thank her very much! xxx
