When I stepped out to the main room. I seen Adrian near the door looking around nervously. When his eyes landed on me he looked shock and relieved. I went over to hug him, and nearly tripped. He hugged me back tightly and I was so happy to see him I started to cry. Internally I scolded myself but I could stop. "Adrian how did you know I was going to be here, and why haven't you been visiting me in my dreams." I noticed and the mention of dream walking made Adrian's mood dropped slightly, he hid it well but I still seen it. "Adrian? What happened?"
"It doesn't matter, your father said I could come visit on the last day with the intention 'finding books in the school library about spirit'. I got a few about random somewhat related things and came as soon as I could." I processed yet another part of my fathers insane plan that was going pretty smoothly so far, but I quickly jumped back to the spirit thing.
"Have you been drinking again?" Adrian looked slightly offended.
"What?! Rose no, just drop it. I came to see you because I was given the opportunity, so just drop it." I was starting to get irritated.
"You could have talked to me anytime you wanted when I was asleep!"
"Fine, if you won't leave it alone I'll just leave! He turned around and just as he put his hand on the door nob it opened. Dimitri walked in and was clearly didn't know what to make of the situation in front of him. He placed to bag he had on the small counter next to him and closed the door.
"Adrian, um, what are you doing here?" I could tell he was trying to not set either of us off.
"Her, old man," he pointed toward me spitefully and I could tell it irked Dimitri. "Flew me here, on the plane that is taking the four of use back to court tomorrow, but I've decided to leave before she asks anymore stupid questions." It was moments like this that completely turned Adrian's usual charm into a trigger for my aggravation. Dimitri looked him up and down and seemed to reluctantly let him pass. When the door closed behind him he turned to me. He grabbed the bag he brought in, and sat on the end of the bed. He patted the spot next to him, but I shook my head.
"No I need to go get him." I turned and opened the door, but Dimitri closed it before I could step outside.
"Stay here, I'll get him." I knew I couldn't risk being seen, but I wanted to go get Adrian myself. Dimitri didn't let me argue though because he was out the door in an instant. I sat on the bed and started to eat the sandwiches Dimitri brought. After a while I heard the door nob twist and Dimitri walked in with Adrian thrown over his shoulders.
"Dimitri?! When I said I wanted to get I him I meant apologize for assaulting him with my hormones, not literally carry him back to the room!" Dimitri kicked the door shut, and put Adrian back down.
"Honestly, I don't know what you see in him Rose." Adrian dramatically dusted himself off before sitting next to me. I rolled my eyes at Adrian but then looked up at Dimitri. I silently asked for him to leave us alone and he nodded. He left the room after a quick glance at me. "So little dhampir, you're sorry? Never thought I'd here that from you."
"Save the speeches for you 'cousins' I wanna know why you wouldn't visit me if you weren't drinking." Adrian's expression immediately darkened.
"Why do you have to know Rose, what if I just found something to do with my life when you left. Mhh, and what if I think it's none of your business since you chose that cradle robber?" He nailed me right where it hurt and he knew he did because as soon as he said it he looked guilty.
"I wanted to know because I care about you a lot more than most people on this planet do, but since you don't think that's true leave. I'm done being your friend." Adrian looked like he wanted to apologize but I pointed to the door and nearly yelled. "Go!" As soon as his back was to me my eyes began to water up. He put his hand on the door, but he stopped. Adrian said something but I didn't hear him, he repeated himself more confidently as he turned to face me again.
"Sydney wanted me to take the medication too." I raked my brain to try to remember where I heard the name Sydney before. When I remembered she was the alchemist sent to 'monitor' my pregnancy, I was even more confused than before.
"Adrian I told you to take those months ago, why did you listen to her?" He sort of avoided my question.
"I did, Rose, I started to take the meds after the strigoi attack, but when your father said he was going to bust you out I stopped because I wanted to find you when you where sleeping. Then after you left I did visits at first, but Sydney told me I would be better off on the pills, and I refilled my prescription."
"I still don't understand why would listen to her, I'm one of your closest friends, and she's just an alchemist..." I noticed the slight change in expression, and recognized the look. "Are you? But she is a... When did you?" Adrian only nodded. He walked over and gave me another hug.
"Goodnight Rose." As he walked out I seen him nod his head and realized as Dimitri came in he was acknowledging him. The pair weren't as hostile toward each other now. I didn't realize I looked as baffled as I felt, until Dimitri pointed it out to me. He sat on the bed and wrapped his arms around me.
"Better?" I simply nodded. I didn't really know what to say and I also didn't know if Adrian's relationship was a secret, but I imagined he wouldn't be bragging about doing whatever he is, with a human. I found it ironic we were both able to figure out who we were after before anyone else, even if he gave me a few hints. I knew Lissa didn't know, so I doubted he would have told anyone else. A random thought popped into my head, and I was surprised it hadn't come sooner.
"How are your stitches?" Dimitri shifted a little.
"Fine, I had Dr. Olenski take them out this morning." I turned and seen the gash that was once there, faded into a small cut.
"You should cover that." I wiggled away from him and dug for the first aid kit I knew I put in his bag earlier. When I found it I sat back next to Dimitri and carefully applied the biggest bandage in the little box over the cut. Just for show I planted a loud kiss on top. He laughed and I smiled back, crawling back into the spot I was in previously. "I want to got to bed before our demon child decides it wants to practice backflips."
I pulled the covers out from under me and as if on cue I felt a little nudge in my abdomen. I groaned and rolled my eyes, before laying down in a huff. "You jinxed yourself." I didn't want to give Dimitri the satisfaction of a reaction so I stared at the wall and prayed I would get to sleep tonight. The lights turned off and I felt Dimitri wiggle into bed beside me. "Goodnight Roza." I think he was waiting for me to say something, because after a few seconds I heard him breath loudly. He moved behind me some more, and I felt his arms around me, at first I was stiff but I decided to just relax. After holding me tightly he picked me up and pulled me onto his lap.
After, Dimitri grabbed the pillows and piled them behind him. He lay back as if he was on a recliner, and held me as if I was a child. It was comfortable though. "Thank you." I was a little mumbled but he understood.
"Goodnight Roza." I continued groggily.
"Wait, are you okay sleeping like that, isn't it uncomfortable?"
"I'd rather be a little sore in the morning then find out you didn't sleep at all." I wanted to slide back to my side of the bed but I noticed the baby stopped kicking. I took Dimitri's hand under mine and placed it on my bump. I felt a nudge under his hand and smiled. "Goodnight Roza."
PLEASE REVIEW XOXO
