September Rain
Chapter 14
Rose touched her baby's soft skin as she sat down in the hard plastic chair next to her incubator. She couldn't believe that her and Dimitri had made a baby so beautiful as she touched her baby's thick, curly hair making her baby turn her head and stare at her with those beautiful eyes. She hated it that she just couldn't take her baby home. She just wanted her to have a normal life and a happy childhood. She hadn't even known she could be a mother until a few years ago when Adrian and Sydney had told her and Dimitri that they could procreate. But now that she was one it scared the shit out of her. There was nothing she wouldn't do for this little girl and when she got out of this Rose would give September the life that she deserved.
The door opened as Rose turned her head to see Lissa coming into the room. Usually seeing Lissa would bring her such joy, but today it was a burden. All she wanted to do was spend time with September Even Dimitri had given them some space and went to go visit his family who had came to see the baby, but she could only have one or two visits at a time because her immune system wasn't up to par yet. Even Lissa being here would be a risk.
"How is she doing?" Lissa asked sitting down in the chair next to Rose.
"The doctors are saying that she's doing better, but she's not out of the woods yet. She has quite a road of recovery ahead of her."
"She'll make it. She's a Belikov after all."
Rose gave Lissa a hint of a smile as she took her eyes off September for a minute to look at Lissa.
"Was there something you wanted to tell me?" she asked.
"Yeah, but I don't really think it's appropriate right now." She said looking at September.
"Come on. Go ahead and spill. It might be a good distraction."
Lissa took a deep breath as a glorious smile crossed over her face.
"It looks like I'm joining you and Sydney in the club of motherhood."
"Do you mean-"
"I'm pregnant Rose. Me and Christian are expecting that and it looks like I'm not the only one."
"Oh my God Lissa. I'm so happy for you, but what do you mean you're not alone."
"Adrian just told me that Sydney is pregnant also. She just found out yesterday."
"Oh my God. This is so great!" She said giving Lissa a hug.
Jealousy filled rose but she ignored it. She really was happy for Lissa and Sydney, but she wished she had good news to share also.
Lissa's phone dinged as she dug it out sending Rose's nerves on edge. What if it interfered with her daughter's machines?
"Oh Rose, I'm so sorry I have to go meet Christian. But I promise I'll come see you and September soon."
"It's okay Lissa. Go to Christian. Me and September will be fine."
She smiled giving Rose a quick hug as she was left alone with her daughter once more.
