Long life update ahead - So this chapter was supposed to be out like a year ago but a lot has happened since the last chapter was posted and I have been slowly writing this chapter throughout it all, but if you're following my Facebook page and Wattpad or checked in via PM then you'd know I had my baby last year. I went a week over and on May 28th 2020 I was induced early in the morning after being admitted the day before due to the worst migraine I've ever had that left me dehydrated within a couple hours (My migraines are really bad in general and I was already being monitored because my symptoms are also symptoms of pre-eclampsia), Though I was already going to the hospital for a procedure type thing to see if my waters would break without me needing to be induced so it worked out well. So, 4 and a half hours after they broke my waters our little girl Rubie was born.

She's now over a year old, and the cheekiest little munchkin. She was actually a really good baby and still is however she has a temper like her father and we're already in the "terrible two's", she's now in daycare and has been since March, has been sick a few times which is to be expected really.

Like I said, I've been slowly working on this chapter from my phone as I've been having issues with my laptop and to be honest my laptop is horrible it basically works when it wants to so I need a new one. But while I've been away from writing aside from obviously having our daughter, I did a lot of things up for when she starts learning a bit more that we can do with her at home as well as whatever she does at daycare. I've also been reading a few of my books and catching up on fanfiction stories that I read from authors I follow.

We also had some medical things come up like my fiancé needing dental surgery but we had to travel to get it as the dentist he went to in our town wasn't comfortable doing what needed doing as it was close to the nerve and I then had some dental issues as well. I went back to work in January and it was hard because our daughter didn't get into daycare in time so I was home during the day and then worked small hours at night and all day Sundays eventually when she did get into daycare my manager gave me hours during the day on days our daughter was in daycare however that only last 2 weeks and then my hours were all over the place and I didn't have a sleeping pattern.

It also started being a not-so-great environment to be working in, the management was the main issue and a lot of pressure was put on me when I was a supervisor and I was essentially treated as if I hadn't been a supervisor for over year prior to being on leave and eventually others started to notice and started to complain to the store manager which of course he didn't do anything. My mum spent 2 months telling me almost every day on the phone that I needed to look for a new job and the final straw came when she said you need to leave otherwise, you're going to keep taking the shit until you've had enough and lose it which they aren't going to like (she was speaking from experience).

I finally did it and told my department manager I was fixing up my resume and looking for a new job though I only told her half of the reason which was I was sick of being there and wanted to actually use my degrees, it was also just time for me to leave. She was not happy but within a few weeks I had found a new job and have now been working here nearly 3 months and I finished up at my old job at the end of August and since then I've been so much happier. But we also moved house that same weekend of my last day and because I'd been doing so much over those 2 months my body ended up basically shutting down 2 days after I'd finished my old job and I was sick for about a week as well as our daughter being sick.

But anyway, I'm happy, I'm healthy, I'm thriving and I'm back to hopefully finish this story by the end of the year (at the earliest). I'm so sorry for taking so long to update but I wanted to spend as much time with our daughter as I could and then of course I just wasn't happy mentally because of my old job so didn't have the inspiration to write.

I hope you enjoy.

"I wanted you to know Dimitri that… I'm pregnant."

She burst into tears, time froze for a second and a quick glance at Dimitri showed his jaw had dropped.

Oh shit. I know Dimitri would have always been careful but even accidents happen sometimes, I couldn't be angry with him because we weren't together when they slept together and I knew if this baby turned out to be Dimitri's he would do the right thing and take on the role as father no matter what.

I grabbed Dimitri's hand and gave it a squeeze before getting up and going to her to pull her into a hug. I couldn't be mad at this girl either, she was obviously scared already and now knowing Dimitri was in a relationship made her even more scared of what the outcome would be.

"Hey come on now, it's okay. Everything is going to be okay."

She pulled back slightly to look at me, "Why are you being so nice to me? You should be angry or something." She started wiping her eyes.

"Because you're obviously scared already and even though you aren't sure who the father is yet I think you did the right thing by telling Dimitri. I can't be angry at you or Dimitri for that matter because we weren't together when you two slept together. Accidents happen and I know if the baby is Dimitri's he'll step up and take on the father role no matter what, and I know I don't know you but I'll be here too."

I glanced at Dimitri who had just pulled his head out of his hands, "Roza's right if this baby is mine, I'll step up because that's who I am. Have you told the other guy yet or just me?"

"Thank you, Dimitri, I know this must be a shock to you it definitely was to me when I found out. I'll appreciate the support from both you, and yes I saw Adrian before I came here."

Dimitri and I glanced at each other, "Adrain. You aren't talking about Adrain Ivashkov are you?"

Oh man I was going to give Adrian so much shit if this baby is his, he should know to be careful especially with how much of a manwhore he is.

"Umm yeah do you both know him?"

"Kind of hard not to, " Dimitri replied with a grumble.

"Yeah, we know him, Adrain tried to get with me when I first moved here and Dimitri and I sort of met when I came home drunk after the date."

"Oh wow, but I guess it makes sense, you're beautiful Rose and if I'm being honest Adrian is kind of a man whore."

Dimitri and I both laughed, "thank you, you're beautiful too. And yes, he definitely is."

"I'm sorry this is happening, but I just wanted to do the right thing by everyone. I don't know how you're being so cool with this Rose, if a girl appeared at my boyfriend's door saying she's pregnant and it could be his or another guy's I would be a mess."

I smiled, "In all honesty that makes sense, but Dimitri has stuck by me through all the things that's gone on with me over the last few months it makes more sense to return the support, and I'll 100% be there for you as well."

Dimitri smiled at me and grabbed my hand giving it a little squeeze, I could tell in that moment that he appreciated the support but I also knew he'd want to have a talk about this once we were alone.

"I'm going to get going and leave you both alone as I'm sure you've got a bit to talk about and I'll keep you updated on anything that goes on and any news I hear."

Dimitri walked her to the door while I sat on the lounge and waited for him to return. He walked to the lounge and sat down with his head in his hands, "I'm so sorry Roza, how could I have been so stupid."

I wrapped my arms around him, "Baby you have nothing to be sorry for. We weren't together when this happened and you weren't stupid, sometimes these things happen. Like I said I'm going to be here every step of the way whether the child is yours or not, until we find out I'm going to be here. I love you."

"I love you too Roza." I thought that was it but next thing I knew he was wrapping his arms around me and starting to cry. I didn't exactly expect this but I knew deep down Dimitri was a like a big teddy bear and this would be a huge thing for him.

I don't know how long we stayed like that but I didn't care.

A few weeks later

Dimitri and I had been spending a lot of time together and at the same time we had been spending bit of time with the girl who came by the other week, I actually never remember her name to be honest.

Dimitri was doing amazing despite the amount of stress I knew he was under, but he had just got a call from her and her and Adrain were coming by Dimitri's apartment for some sort of discussion.

Dimitri was getting some drinks organised when the bell rang so I went to let them in.

"Hey guys, come on in." They both stepped through the door, Adrain giving me a small hug as he passed by to go sit at the table.

"Thank you both for agreeing to this, I have news." Dimitri and I glanced at each other before turning our attention back to her.

"As you know I had an ultrasound just after I told you I was pregnant and that I was supposed to go for an ultrasound again this morning, unfortunately there was no ultrasound this morning as I presented to the hospital last night with bleeding."

Adrain had his arm around her, and both Dimitri and I reached across the table knowing what that may have meant.

"They did an ultrasound to find a heartbeat, however unfortunately I suffered a miscarriage last night."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, if Rose and I can do anything to help please let us know. We'll be here no matter what as long as you want us to be."

"Thank you, Dimitri, you're too kind. Aside from wanting to tell you what happened, I also wanted to let you know that they were able to determine exactly how many weeks I was and when the due date would have been. Through that information we were able to determine the father based off dates as while I slept with you two around the same time there was still around a week or 2 between."

I started to take a lot more notice of her, so before she even spoke next, I knew who the father was.

"Dimitri, you weren't the father."

Dimitri stopped blinking for a second before I heard him let out a breath. "Dimitri, I'm so sorry for all the stress I put on you these last few weeks. You and Rose have been amazing and supportive and I'm glad you two have each other."

"Don't be sorry, you were doing what you thought was right by telling me that you were pregnant and I'm glad you did."

They stayed for a little while longer before leaving and Dimitri and I started organising ourselves for dinner and a movie night.

Sitting eating dinner in front of the tv then snuggling up with Dimitri was a well-earned night off from studying and a perfect date night for us.
