Happy Accidents: Chapter 2: Medical
Rose
Once a year, every Guardian has to undergo a medical by the Royal Medical Team, just to make sure that we are still healthy and up to the job. There are all kinds of tests; blood tests, fitness, mental health and weight. A lot of people hate the medicals and see them as a waste of time but Dimitri and I like them. As head Guardian's, the medicals will show Dimitri and I who may need some extra work or who's standards are slipping. Over the next couple of weeks, everyone will get their medicals, but today it was mine and Dimitri's turn. Again, as head Guardians we were always seen pretty much first.
A plus side to my medical being today at the same time as Dimitri's, is that Lissa has been very kind and given both of us the day off so that we can spend some time together. It wasn't very often we had a day off together, so we're going to make the most of it! Our appointment isn't for another couple of hours yet so we decided to go out and eat for a change, again, something that we don't do very often. Dimitri normally does the cooking, mainly because I can't cook to save my life. Dimitri is definitely the more domesticated of the two of us.
Dimitri and I walked into one of the cafes at court and Dimitri held my hand as he led me towards a booth in the far left, away from prying eyes. We noticed a few of our colleagues in the cafe but we didn't pay them any mind and they ignored us in return, thank God! I really didn't want to speak to anyone work related until our medical appointments, today was a day off, the less work related chatter the better.
A waitress came over to the table and placed menus in front of us, we thanked her and ordered a couple of drinks before she disappeared. I already know what I wanted; a chicken and bacon salad with a side of fries. Dimitri studied the menu but I knew what he was going to order, a cheeseburger with everything with fries and onion rings, he always orders the same thing so I don't know why he's studying the menu so intently.
"You're staring" Dimitri said without looking up.
"You look cute when you concentrate" I answered.
"I'm not cute" He stated and looked up at me "Cute is what you call a puppy or a baby" He added.
"You're pretty hot too... really hot" I winked and he laughed, which in turn made me laugh "Did you decide what you want?" I asked.
"Apart from you on this table?"
A blush appeared on my cheeks and I looked at him in shock "Dimitri!" I exclaimed in surprise, making us both laugh "I can't believe you said that out loud" I stated as I looked around to make sure no one had heard him.
The waitress came back to the table and placed our drinks on the table "Are you two ready to order?" She asked.
"Yeah, can I get a chicken and bacon salad with a side of fries" I answered.
The waitress nodded and wrote it down on her pad before turning her attention to Dimitri.
"I'll have a cheeseburger with fries and a side of onion rings"
I couldn't help but roll my eyes at him, the waitress nodded again and wrote Dimitri's order down in her notepad before walking away from the table.
"You always order the same thing" I pointed out
"So?"
"So, why do you look at the menu?" I asked.
"You never know" He shrugged.
I sat back in my seat with a happy sigh as I finished my food, that was just what I needed and it was so fresh and delicious. Dimitri had already finished his but inhales food so it didn't take him long to eat anyway, he looked so full and content; he must have enjoyed his food. It was so nice to get out for a change, it felt like we were just a normal couple going about our daily lives and we're not just Lissa and Christian's Guardians.
I looked at my watch and saw that we had another 30 minutes until we had our medicals, and the medical building was only a couple of minutes walk from here so we didn't need to rush there. For once we can take our time and have a little stroll around court.
The bell jingled, signalling that someone was coming into the cafe. Out of curiosity, I looked over at the door and saw one person I was hoping to never met; Randall Ivashkov, Dimitri's father. Dimitri had his back to the door so he didn't see him but I think he's spotted Dimitri.
"Your father's here" I stated in a hushed tone, Dimitri turned in his seat and the two men looked at each other. Dimitri was quick to turn away but Randall started walking towards us "He's coming this way" I told him.
"Hello Dimitri" Randall greeted as he approached the table, he didn't acknowledge me and that was just fine with me.
Dimitri didn't say anything or turn to look at him, he kept his eyes on me and put his hand on top of mine, I gave his hand a gentle squeeze so he knew I was there for him.
"I'm ready to go when you are" I told Dimitri.
"Who are you?" Randall asked me.
"I'm his wife" I answered harshly.
Randall studied me for a moment "You're not Moroi" He declared.
"No, she's not" Dimitri replied in a tone that dared Randall to say anything about me.
"How are your mother and sisters?" He asked Dimitri.
"They're doing amazing" Dimitri said "Let's go Rose" He added.
Dimitri and I slid out of the booth and Dimitri took hold of my hand.
"I would like to talk to you" Randall stated.
"And I would like to kill you but it seems not everyone can have what they want"
Randall looked scared at the thought of Dimitri killing him, he could easily do it, Randall doesn't look that strong and at the age of 13 Dimitri proved that he could fight back. Now he was one of the world's most respected Guardians and he has a lot of Strigoi kills under his belt so Randall should be scared.
I tugged on Dimitri's hand as we walked over to the counter to pay our bill. Randall looked after us but Dimitri didn't turn back to face him and that was a good idea; if he did he might lose his cool and go back to him which would not end well. As the waitress rang up our order, Dimitri got his wallet out to pay and I just kept looking back at Randall and I was surprised at how much he and Dimitri looked alike, they had the same facial features but what struck me most was their eyes. Randall's eyes looked older and more tired than Dimitri's but they were a similar shape and the same colour. I'm guessing that back in the day Randall was quite the looker and that is what first attracted Olena.
Dimitri paid the bill and we made our way out of the cafe, Dimitri holding the door for me and I finally turned away from Randall. Although I'm sure Dimitri knows he resembles his father I'm not going to say anything to him about it. He hates his father and I hate him too after how he treated Olena, Dimitri and his sisters. Men like that are evil and why he decided to come and speak to Dimitri in there I have no idea but I'm glad it ended when it did before it turned into something and Dimitri and I got into trouble.
We held hands as we made our way over to the medical building, we were going to be early for our appointments but it was better than sitting in the cafe with Randall and it was probably better for Dimitri's heart rate that we go there now so he has some time to calm down.
"Are you ok?" I asked him.
"Of course I'm ok" He replied quickly.
He wasn't ok but he obviously didn't want to talk about it and I am not going to be the one to push him on it because that won't lead us anywhere and it will just shut him down more. He doesn't get like this over many things but his Randall just seems to get under his skin.
Dr Henris came into the room and smiled with a file in her hand; she sat down at her computer and started typing away. I hated it when Drs did this, I don't think that there is anything wrong with me and I am confident about my physical but I didn't like waiting, I'm an impatient person, I just want my results so that I can go home and see Dimitri. He went in before me to see a different Dr and I'm pretty sure he was finished by now.
Dr Henris turned in her chair to face me, she had a smile on her face but it wasn't a smile that made me feel confident. She crossed her legs and sighed as she opened the file she brought in, the file I am assuming is mine and she looked over a sheet of paper before looking back up at me.
"Rose, I'm not quite sure how to tell you this" She said.
"Oh my God, what is it?" I asked in panic.
"Well your blood tests came back with some surprising results" She replied.
"Am I dying?"
"No" She answered quickly "It's nothing like that it's just that... well according to your blood test results, you are pregnant" She told me and placed the file back on the desk.
"What? Of course I'm not pregnant. The only person I have ever had sex with is Dimitri and everyone knows that two Dhampir's cannot have children together" I ranted in panic.
"I'm just telling you what the blood test said" She said looking a little scared of me.
"Do it again!" I exclaimed.
"Ok, we can do a pee stick in here" She suggested and I nodded.
Dr Henris turned in her chair and opened one of the cabinets against the wall and produced a pee pot. I snatched it off her and left the office to go to the bathroom.
There is no way that I am pregnant! Dimitri and I can't have children together; we had prepared ourselves for this and we had come to terms with it. I had never really planned to have children anyway so I was ok but Dimitri had wanted children and although I know he loves me but he was also disappointed at the thought of never becoming a father. It took him a while to come to terms with it but he eventually said that he was ok with it. He said he had me and that was more than enough for him, I felt awful that I couldn't give him the child he obviously desperately wanted but now that we got over that I don't want to get his hopes up about this and it not be true.
I walked back into Dr Henris' office with my pot of pee and handed it to her. She had two white sticks sitting on her desk; I sat down in the chair next to her as she took the lid of the pot and dipped one of the white sticks in it. We sat in silence as we waited for the result to come in. Dr Henris looked at her watch and counted down from 5 then took the white stick out.
"Well...?"
"It's positive" She said.
"I swear I have only ever been with Dimitri" I promised.
"I believe you" She replied.
"Then how the hell can I be pregnant?" I asked.
"I don't know. I have never seen this happen before and I have been a Dr for twenty years" She told me.
"Oh my God" I sighed and I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes.
"I will help you in any way that I can" Dr Henris told me as she placed a comforting hand on my knee.
"Can we keep this a secret between us? Just for now, I have some things to think about"
"Of course"
I thanked Dr Henris for her help and rushed out of her office.
I got outside and took a deep breath of fresh air. I can't believe this. I don't know how this happened, what is Dimitri going to think? What is everyone else going to think? Dimitri is going to think that I cheated on him and I didn't. I have never been with anyone else but it's a fact that 2 Dhampir's cannot biologically have children together, many have tried and it doesn't work so how am I pregnant? The blood test and the pee test have to be wrong, I just can't be pregnant! No one is going to believe that this child is Dimitri's and everyone is going to think I cheated.
Dimitri said that if he was finished his medical before me, which I think he is, he would meet me at home so I can't go home. I can't go and face him because he will know straightaway that something is wrong and I don't know what to say to him, how am I supposed to convince him that I am pregnant with his child and I haven't cheated? I don't even believe it.
I'm not pregnant.
I'm not pregnant.
I'm not pregnant.
I'm not pregnant.
I'm not pregnant.
That's it Rose, keep saying it over and over again and it won't be true.
I found myself outside Lissa's residence and knocked on the door. Guardian Carey opened the door and looked at me in surprise.
"Rose" She started "I thought you were off today for your medical?" She looked confused as if she had the wrong date.
"Yeah I did. I've just got back" I answered "Is Lissa there? I wanted to talk to her about something" I told her.
"Sure" Guardian Carey opened the door wider for me to come in.
I followed Guardian Carey into Lissa's study and I saw her sitting at her desk and writing a letter, she was replying to her correspondence. She looked up at the doorway as I walked in, Guardian Carey left us and I walked further into the study and closed the door behind us.
"Rose" Lissa said in surprise "Everything ok?" She asked.
"Yeah everything is fine" I rushed "Look, I was wondering if you think you could get someone to cover for me tomorrow?" I asked.
"Of course, I can ask Guardian Carey to oversee your duties tomorrow" She replied "Are you sure that you're ok?" She questioned.
"I promise I'm fine" I answered.
I couldn't come to work tomorrow. I had some research to do and phone calls to make. There was so much to do before I spoke to Dimitri or anyone else about this pregnancy. I wanted to make sure I had all the answers to the questions he was sure to ask, a way to prove that I never cheated and this baby is 100% his.
Rose is pregnant! Isn't it just the best news for our couple? Rose doesn't seem excited about it, is she going to tell Dimitri about it and how will he react? Will he believe Rose when she tells him the baby is his and she didn't cheat? How did Rose manage to get pregnant by Dimitri when they are both Dhampir's?
Rose clearly wants some answers as to why she is pregnant. To find out if she manages to get those answers come back next week for an update! I am very excited for you to read the rest of this story.
Make sure that you all follow, favourite and review!
