September Rain
Chapter 11
There was nothing Rose liked more than sleeping in on a Saturday morning. Unfortunately this was not one of those Saturdays. One moment her and Dimitri were snuggling on their bed the next minute, Lissa was there waking them up with a blow horn. Rose sat up ready to kick Lissa's ass. Who was dumb enough to wake up a seven month pregnant woman that way?
Rose gave Lissa the death glare and got out of the bed wobbling with determination. If she wasn't her guardian she would be holding Lissa by the hair at the moment, but she had to try and stay calm.
"Lissa, What the hell are you doing?"
"You forgot already."
"I'm sorry. Maybe it was the blow horn that scrabbled my brain a little. Why don't you try an alarm clock next time."
"Sorry, I'm just excited."
"For what?"
"It's your baby shower today Rose."
"Where's Dimitri?"
"He's helping us set up. All you have to do is show up."
"Fine. Let me get dressed."
Lissa squealed as she left the room. Rose rolled her eyes and rummaged through her closet. Lissa had had her baby shower a few days ago so of course Rose would have hers in the same week. Even if she was only seven months pregnant. She sighed and threw on her cutest outfit before leaving the room. Presents filed their living room and Dimitri helped Rose to the couch. It was one of those days where Rose didn't really feel great. It had been that way for a week now. Rose didn't know exactly what was wrong. She would go to the doctor tomorrow if she had time. Today she was just going to try and enjoy her baby shower.
First they played a few games which Rose admitted were fun, but the pain was still there. What the hell was going on?
She shook it off and went to the couch to open presents. First was Mia's present. It was a package of diapers, which Rose was grateful for.
"Thanks Mia."
"You're welcome."
Next up was Jill's present. Rose was just happy that Jill could have been there. She had been through so much since they found out that she was Lissa's sister. She just hoped that Jill had fun. Rose picked up the little socks and shoes and smiled to herself. This would be cute on the baby. She thanked Jill and went onto Sydney's present. Sydney had a baby boy of her own to take care of so Rose was happy to receive any gift that Sydney thought might help. Rose smiled as she looked at the baby monitor. That would be helpful seeing how much she loved to sleep.
Sydney hugged Rose and she took a deep breath as a sharp pain went through her. She gritted her teeth as she grabbed the table. Dimitriwas by her side within a minute.
"Roza-" he said looking at her.
"I'm just having these cramps. It might be braxton hicks contractions. I read about them online."
Dimitri looked at her as if he was unsure. He put his hand on her stomach as the pain became more intense nearly making her double over in pain. He pulled her into his arms as Lissa kneeled down putting her hands on Rose'sm stomach. She knew Lissa was trying to heal her but these pains just wouldn't lay off.
"Lissa, Stop. It's not helping." she said through gritted teeth.
Lissa looked at her hands as Dimitri sat up.
"I'm taking you to the hospital. There's no ins ands or buts about it."
Rose nodded as she sat 's when she felt the trickling of water down her legs. What the hell was happening. She looked down at the puddle on the floor as she looked back up at Dimitri. No. It was too soon.
"Rose, what's wrong?" he asked unsure.
"My-My water just broke. I-I think i'm going into labor."
