Let's get straight back into it
Recap: Rose is now 12 weeks pregnant and she went for her first scan with Dimitri by her side. Rose was concerned about the type of mother she was going to be, she was worried about becoming like her mother but she was going to try and be the complete opposite of her mother. She knows that Dimitri is going to be a great dad. They still haven't told their families as they were waiting for the sonogram to make sure that everything was ok.
Thank you as always for your continued love and support! Please keep all of your reviews coming in, I love knowing what you guys are thinking of the story.

Surprise: Chapter 9: Reality Part 2
I can't believe how well the appointment went with Dr Henris today, Dimitri and I were so worried about everything, but seeing our baby on the screen for the first time melted all of our worries away. Dr Henris took a look at the baby and she said that everything looked perfect and there was nothing to be concerned about. As Dr Henris told us that everything was fine with the baby you could physically see Dimitri relax and the world was lifted off his shoulders, maybe he will allow me to do things like make my own food now. I doubt it but he might surprise me.
Since we got home I haven't been able to stop looking at the printed sonogram pictures. It was just such a strange thing to think that the baby in the picture is the baby growing in my stomach this very minute. I've studied every inch of this picture and to some it might sound crazy but I think the baby has my nose but Dimitri's lips, I told Dimitri but he said he didn't think it was possible to tell due to the small scale of the photo and it being in black and white.
I don't care what he says because I think I know what this baby might look like when it is born and I think it is going to be the perfect mixture of myself and Dimitri. Personality wise I have no idea who the baby will be more like, I kind of hope the baby is like Dimitri because he makes good decisions and is calm whereas I'm a little bit more out of control and I act on impulse whereas Dimitri thinks things through first. I don't want my child getting into the same kind of trouble I have been in but rather take a leaf out of Dimitri's book and be smart about things.
I know you can't tell this early but I was hoping Dr Henris might have been able to tell us the sex of the baby, I am dying to know if my dreams are right and we are having or girl. I feel like this baby is going to be a girl and I asked Dimitri what he thought but he doesn't know. Of course we are going to be happy and love this baby either way but I am just so excited to find out. I want to start buying clothes and toys and painting the nursery. I want everything to be done quickly and I want the baby to be here quickly too, I know I still have a long way to go but I am very impatient and I know that Dimitri is just as impatient about everything. He wants to get everything in order and ready for the baby as soon as possible.
Until we know the sex of the baby I don't want to start deciding on names; I have had a little look at some and I know Dimitri has too but we haven't come up with any actual names we want just yet. I know that I am only 12 weeks pregnant and we have a long time to discuss all of this and plan everything but like I said I'm impatient.
Along with the pregnancy book, Dimitri also purchased a baby name book and I have seen that he has marked some names and I am surprised at them, they are American / English names.
Oliver
Callum
Samuel
Zachary
Ashley
Courtney
Georgia
Samantha
I, on the other hand, have been looking at European / Russian names because let's be honest, not many American / English names go well with Belikov.
Alexei
Danila (See what I did there?)
Marko
Pavel
Arina
Alina
Darya
Nadia
Like I said, we still have a little while to decide on what kind of name(s) we want for the baby. It will be easier when we know if the baby is a girl or boy because it will narrow down the field for us.
"What are you thinking about?" Dimitri asked as he sat down next to me on the couch.
"Baby names" I replied.
"I've been looking at some" He said.
"I know, I saw the marks in the baby name book" I told him "I was thinking that maybe we should wait until we know the gender of the baby before we start making decisions on names. It will be easier for both of us and we can agree on what sort of name we want" I explained.
"What sort of names were you thinking of?" He asked with a quizzical look.
"Different to yours" I answered and he rolled his eyes as if he was expecting that answer and I giggled "I think the name is something that is going to take us a long time to agree on. Obviously we have very different ideas, and that is ok, but I think someone is going to have to compromise a lot... I have a feeling it is going to be me" He said in a half joke way.
"Dimitri" I grabbed hold of his arm "I would never name this baby something you didn't agree with or like. We need to do this together and both be happy with it" I told him seriously.
"I know" He leaned over and placed a kiss on my cheek.
Did Dimitri really think I wouldn't let him have much of a say in something as serious as the name? I feel awful, am I that mean? I know I can be bossy and sometimes a bit domineering compared to Dimitri but I really thought he knew I would want his say in the name. I want his say in everything! I want him to help me decide what clothes to buy, what colour to pain the nursery, what crib to buy and the birth plan... I want him to be as involved as possible. I'm worried that I haven't expressed how much I want him involved in everything, I didn't realise he felt this way.
"Dimitri, I am so sorry"
"What?" He questioned.
"I have been a bad wife" I admitted.
"No" He said instantly "No Roza, you have not been a bad wife... you have been the best wife I could ever ask for" He told me and grabbed hold of my hands.
"You think I'm going to make all of these decisions without you and that I don't care about what you think... that can't be further from the truth. I want you included in everything, I can't do this without you" I could feel the tears starting to well up in my eyes "Please do this with me" I pleaded.
"I'm here with you Roza" The tears fell down my cheeks, Dimitri leaned over and wiped my tears away with the pad of his thumb "I'm not going anywhere" He added.
Ok... not the best chapter but it was too long to have on the other chapter. The next one is also going to be split into two but it is for a VERY good reason, I am very excited about the next one. Rose and Dimitri have got a visitor!
