September Rain
Chapter 2
Lissa dragged Rose out to the Limo as she entered she noticed a few of her friends were gathered around. Mia, Sydney, Viktoria, Sonya, Angeline, and Jill were all gathered around as they drank champagne. Mia handed her a glass while Rose accepted it.
"What's on the agenda?" she asked.
"Strip club." They all said laughing.
Rose nodded and drank some champagne this would be a long night.
"Don't you think I'm a little too old for strip clubs?"
"Come on Rose. Let loose and party for once in your life. You only get a first marriage once." Lisaa said.
Rose looked at Lissa and noticed something. She wasn't drinking like the others. Instead she was sticking to water. Rose knew that Lissa had been sick for a while, but she hadn't known that she hadn't been drinking either.
"Why aren't you drinking?" she asked curious.
"I don't want to spoil your big day Rose. Just enjoy it and I'll tell you later."
"Vaslissa Sabrina Rhea Dragomir, You will tell me this instant or I will get out of this car. Don't forget I know how to tuck and roll."
"Fine, I'll tell you all."
Even Jill had perked up to hear this news.
"It looks like Jill and I won't have to worry about being the only Dragomir's in our bloodline anymore."
"Lissa, Are you saying that you're-"
"Yes Rose I'm pregnant. Christian and I are going to have a baby."
The girls squeled in excitement as Rose just sat there silently. She didn't mean to be rude to Lissa and her great news, but Lissa's news had just reminded Rose of the jaw dropping news that Adrian and Sydney had given her a few years ago something that Dimitri and her had chosen to ignore until now. She had remembered receiving the news as if it had just happened yesterday.
"You two might want to sit down for this" Adrian had told them one day.
They sat down eagerly awaiting the news that they were going to share. After all Declan had been a big shock to them, but what they were about to hear next was the most shocking thing that Rose had ever heard.
"How often do you two have unprotected sex?" Adrian said.
Dimitri had given him the evil eye as she scoffed. Looks like Adrian was still being Adrian despite having a wife and a new son.
"I'm not saying it to be a pervert. I have something very important to tell you two."
"Then get to it. You don't need to know about our sex life." Rose had snapped.
"Alright. Alright. I need to tell you two something about Declan."
"What about Declan?"
"He's Olive and Neil's son."
Her eyes had gone big as she gave off a small laugh.
"Very funny Adrian now tell us what's really going on."
"I'm not lying Rose. Declan is really Olive and Neil's son."
He handed her a note as her jaw dropped. She couldn't believe it.
"How?" Dimitri asked after he was done reading the letter himself.
"Another side effect from you guys coming back from the dead. Well strogoi state to be exact. Which means you two will probably have to be careful from now on. It must be by some miracle that you haven't already got Rose pregnant yet."
Rose looked at Dimitri as he looked back at her in astonishment.
She returned back to present times and smiled at Lissa. No matter what her dilemma was she was still happy for Christian and Lissa. She just wondered if Dimitri would ever want kids in the nearby future. They were both in respectable points in their careers, but could they really have a child without huge consquences. If people started questioning their child then they would start to question Sydney about Declan and that sweet baby boy didn't deserve that, but as she heard her friends gush on about Lissa's pregnancy. She realized all she wanted was to start a real family with Dimitri and she knew that's exactly what they wanted to.
She would have to find some time to ask Sydney about it later. As they approached the strip club Rose rolled her eyes as they pulled her in. She laughed as Mia had paid an attractive male to give Rose a lap dance, but Rose didn't seem that impressed. She laughed it off as she started chatting with her friends and drinking just having a good time. That's when she found the perfect opportunity to talk to Sydney. She dragged Sydney to the surpringly empty bathrooms and took a deep breath.
"I want to ask you about Declan."
"What about him?"
"Do you ever regret having him as your son?"
"Not for a second. What brought this on?"
"Lissa's pregnancy news got me thinking-"
"About the night that Adrian told you and Dimitri you could actually have kids."
"Yes. How did you know?"
"I'm not an idiot Rose. Tell me what's on your mind."
"I want to give Dimitri what he always wanted."
"You're already marrying him Rose."
"That's not what I meant."
"You mean you want to have a baby with Dimitri?"
"He's the love of my life Sydney. I would do anything to make him happy."
"Have you really thought this through Rose?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Let's just put aside the whole everyone would treat them as a science project thing. Let's just focus on the fact that you're doing this for Dimitri."
"He's always wanted them Sydney and now I can give him what he wants."
"But is it what you want Rose? Taking care of a baby is hard work especially if there circumstances are a little different and they're unexpected."
"I guess I never really thought about if I wanted kids or not."
"Well I suggest before you take this huge step with Dimitri in your life you carefully think things through first. You have to both want this Rose or else you'll be miserable."
Rose nodded and hugged Sydney.
"Thanks for the advice."
"It was my pleasure."
They exited the bathroom door and returned to the party. They had partied until they couldn't any longer. Lissa took Rose home and she past out on her bed eager that she would be marrying the man of her dreams tomorrow.
