Chapter 38

Rose POV

2 months later

I had now moved back into mine and Lissa's old apartment. Abe had deemed it safe enough as long as Dimitri was with us. She had gone to live with Christian in his apartment seeing as they were engaged now.

Dimitri had also officially moved in, and it definitely wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. I loved having him with me. He would do anything for me.

And I mean everything.

If my back was sore, he'd give me a massage. If my feet were sore, he'd massage them for me. If I wasn't feeling well – which was often with my morning sickness – he'd create a little den on the couch where he'd snuggle up with me all day, surrounded by pillows and blankets, eating ice cream and making me feel better.

The newest thing, however, were my cravings.

I had woken up last night with the need to eat McDonald's fries. Dimitri had been sleeping soundly beside me and I wasn't going to wake him, but naturally, he realised I was awake and wouldn't stop pestering me until I told him what was wrong.
He was strangely ok with going out at half past 3 in the morning to find a McDonalds that would still be open.

It mustn't have been an easy task however, as he had only just returned.

It was just after half past 6.

I was sitting up on the couch, waiting for his return but I must have fallen asleep again. I woke by a gentle shutting of the door.

"Hey, did I wake you?" He whispered. He looked exhausted.

"What took you so long?" I asked him concerned. He seriously looked like he was about to fall asleep standing up.

"Couldn't…find one that was open." He yawned out the words and handed me a brown paper bag with the McDonald's logo on it. "Nearest one was an hour away."

"Dimitri, thank you so much, you should've just come home when you couldn't find one." I said to him, standing up and putting the bag on the coffee table. I had to admit it smelled good though.

I grabbed his hand and led him to our bedroom. I pulled off his shoes and jacket and helped him climb into our bed.

He was asleep in matter of seconds.

I went back out to the living room wearing nothing but Dimitri's shirt and settled myself on the couch again.

I devoured the food in minutes.

I realised I was starting to drift off on the couch when I was startled awake by a thump on the inside on my stomach.

"Oh my god, Dimitri!" I yelled for him loudly. He came rushing out of the room.

"What, what is it?" he asked, looking panicked and rushing over to me.

"The baby's kicking!" I grinned at him excitedly. I grabbed one of his hands and placed it on my fairly big stomach.

A grin broke out on his face when he felt the same light thumping on my belly.

"That's amazing." He whispered to me.

"That's our baby." I whispered back, feeling wetness pool up in my eyes.

Dimitri's eyes twinkled and he leaned in to kiss me gently, before both of us focused our attention back on the light kicks.

I wanted to ring Lissa, but Dimitri had insisted that it was too early. Even if he was right, Lissa was going to kill me for not calling her for the baby's first kick.

I lay myself down gently on the couch. Dimitri climbed in behind me.

"You should go back to bed." I said to him. The man was a god, yes, but even god's needed rest.

"I'm not tired anyway." He replied, and I could hear the happiness in his voice.

"I love you Roza." He said and kissed my neck gently.

"I love you Dimitri." I replied, my words slurred slightly as my own tiredness kicked in.

"Go to sleep Roza." Dimitri whispered soothing words in my ear, calming me and causing me to drift off once again.

Despite Dimitri's earlier words, when I woke up, he was in a deep sleep with his arms still wrapped around me. I doubted that it had taken him long to fall asleep after I had.

I removed myself from his arms so that I could call Lissa. I had been meaning to call her anyway to go shopping with me because none of my clothes fit me anymore. My current wardrobe basically included Dimitri's shirts, trackies and over-sized hoodies.

"Hey Rose." She said cheerfully when she picked up.

"Hey Liss, come shopping with me today?" I asked her straight out. It was already afternoon so I wanted to get a move on.

Lissa automatically brightened even more when I mentioned shopping.

"Of course! I'll pick you up ok?" She said excitedly.

"Sure. Liss, guess what?"

"What?"

"The baby kicked last night!" I said. I admit, I was more than a little excited.

"WHAT! Why didn't you call me sooner?!" She demanded.

I rolled my eyes, I knew her too well.

"It was way too early and Dimitri wouldn't let me." I explained.

Lissa huffed a little but brightened again when I started talking about the shopping trip today.

When we hung up, I went to have a shower and get dressed so that I'd be ready for her to pick me up.

"Dimitri?" I tried to nudge him awake.

"What's wrong? Are you hungry?" He asked as soon as his eyes opened.

I laughed gently at him.

"No, silly, I'm going shopping with Lissa. I'll call you if I need you ok?" I said to him.

"Ok, you want me to go with you?" he asked, his eyes closing again.

"No, that's ok." I smiled in amusement at him, he didn't look like he'd be going anywhere soon. "Liss and I need some girl time. See ya later." I said and kissed his forehead. He was already asleep.

I waited down stairs for Lissa and hopped into her car when she arrived.

We spent hours talking and shopping at the mall. I bought a lot of stuff. I mean pretty much everything. From cute tops and skirts, to maternity jeans and dresses that would show off my baby bump. I even bought some new fluffy socks. You gotta love fluffy socks.

"Rose, come on, let's go in here!" Lissa said, dragging me into Victoria's Secret.

"Fine but I'm not getting anything." I huffed.

"What? Why not?" She asked me surprised. I had always loved Victoria's Secret.

"Hello? Look at me Liss! It's easy for you, you're all skinny and gorgeous and I'm nothing but a fat cow anymore." I felt the tears coming on.

"Rose, you look beautiful!" Lissa said gently and stroked my hair. "Dimitri loves the way you look." What she said was actually true – Dimitri loved, and I mean, loved my baby bump. But I couldn't help but feel gross and icky and big.

Definitely not something you want to feel when wearing sexy lingerie.

Despite Lissa's efforts to comfort me, I found myself feeling depressed over the fact that I wouldn't get my figure back for another good few months, and how Dimitri probably wouldn't want to have sex with me now that I'm already massive.

I needed to see if I was right, so once Lissa dropped me off and helped me carry my bags upstairs to the apartment, I went to search for Dimitri.

I found him dozing on our bed.

"Hey," He said when he saw me. "Get anything?" he asked, looking around for a sign of a shopping bag. I had left them all out by the door.

"Hmm…" I didn't really reply and walked over to him, climbing up on top of him, my legs either side of his waist.

I started placing wet kisses up and down his neck and rubbing my hands up under his shirt on his chest and abs.

"Hmm, Roza? Can we not do this now? I'm still pretty tired." He said, moving my hands out from under his shirt.

"I knew it!" I burst into tears and ran to the bathroom and slammed the door behind me, sliding to the floor and letting the sobs take over.

"Roza?" Dimitri's voice sounded a little taken aback on the other side of the door.

"Go away!" I managed to choke out. I wasn't sure if it was coherent, but I sure knew what I had said!

"Roza?" Dimitri asked more gently, opening the door a crack and peeking in. As soon as he saw me in a heap on the floor, he opened the door all the way and fell to his knees beside me.

"I told you to go away!" I said, still sobbing. However, I put my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer to him, not really wanting him to leave me alone, despite my words.

"Roza, what's the matter?" He asked me, cradling me in his strong arms.

"You don't want me anymore now that I'm all big and fat!" I exclaimed and broke into a new wave of fresh sobs.

"What?" Dimitri said, looking incredulous. "How can you think that Roza?"

"Because I had a perfect body when I met you and now it's all big and stretched and you don't want to have sex with me anymore!" I cried.

"Of course I want to have sex with you Roza! You're beautiful, and I love you." He said and kissed me neck. "Come on then."

He picked me up off the ground and put me back on the bed in our room and started to remove his shirt.

"No!" I cried out. "I don't want you to have sex with me now because you feel bad! I don't need you to make me feel bad about myself Dimitri Belikov! So I've put on weight, deal with it! This is our baby that I'm carrying by the way so it's technically half your fault that I look like this now!" I was crying again by the end of it. Dimitri's eyes were wide and he looked like he was struggling for words.

"Roza, I-" He started. I cut him off.

"Don't Roza me! You think I'm fat?" I demanded.

"No! I-"

"Then why won't you sleep with me?" I demanded.

He groaned and put his head in his hands.

"Roza, would you just please listen to me!" He said, frustrated.

"Why would I do that when you're being such a pig!" I said, new tears forming. I was going to have none left by the time the evening was over.

"Ro-"

"No!" I screamed at him and this time, locked myself in the bathroom.

I slid down the door, more sobs working their way up my chest and racking my body.

Dimitri continued knocking on the door and pleading for me to open it for what felt like hours.

Eventually, it stopped.
