Chapter 12: Rose's POV

"Dimitri, do we have everything for the trip?" I asked him. We were packing for our trip to the Court. Our flight on the school's private jet was in an hour. The flight would be about three hours long. We were only going to Court for 3 days but we wanted to make sure we weren't forgetting anything. Lissa was going with us. My cousin and her boyfriend, Christian was tagging along with her.

"Yes, I'm just waiting for you to finish getting ready!" Dimitri replied and laughed. He was constantly making fun of me for how long it takes me to get ready for something.

"I'm sorry for wanting to look good for the queen!" I laughed. I was straightening my hair and putting on my makeup. I used eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow. For my outfit, I decided to wear a cute but casual dress. It was maroon and it showed off my nice legs. It also hid my pregnant belly very nicely.

Dimitri pouted. "Here I thought you were looking nice for me." I laughed again.

"What would give you that idea?" I winked at him.

An hour later, we were sitting down in the plane. Dimitri put up the armrest so I could lie against his chest. No one cared or protested against it. Everyone was so used to seeing us together. After awhile of talking to my Dimitri, I fell asleep.

Mommy! You're in danger!

Mommy! Don't listen to her! You're fine! Just keep going!

No! She's trying to trick you! It's a trap!

Who are you going to believe? I guess your other daughter is your favorite!

I woke up instantly. I breathed deeply. Who were those voices? "Roza, are you okay?" Dimitri also woke up from his nap. He looked at me with concern.

"Yeah, yeah I think so." I looked down and rubbed my belly.

"Tell me the truth." He said stiffly.

I took a deep breath. "I think I heard the twin's voices. They were fighting. One of our daughters was accusing me of picking favorites." I said very quickly. I couldn't understand this.

"Well, just don't worry about it. We're here at the Court now. We will talk about it tonight. I promise!" He kissed my forehead and helped me up. Being pregnant made it harder to stand up on my own. I'm only 4 months pregnant, but being pregnant with twins made it show a lot sooner than a normal single baby belly.

"Good morning, Princess Rosemarie. How are you?" One of the royal guardians asked me.

"Fine, thank you." That made me sound like Sandy from Grease.

Dimitri, Lissa, Christian, and I were led to meet the Queen. Lissa and Christian went off to find their rooms. I was told that I was to meet Queen Tatiana as soon as I arrived at Court.

"Princess Rosemarie Hathaway and Senior Novice Dimitri Belikov have arrived!" One of the royal guardians announced. It was weird being treated like a royal.

"My darling Rose, how nice it is to see you again!" Queen Tatiana spoke powerfully. Her aura radiated power and confidence. How nice she was to me made me question if it was out of the kindness of her heart or her just trying to get in good with me.

"Hello, your majesty." Dimitri and I said at the same time.

"Rose, let's get down to business. I know you're pregnant with twins. Normally, I would frown about this kind of thing but that can't be the case for you. You're the last of your line as you well know. You need to rebuild your line and you're just getting started early." She said formally.

My eyes widen. "Are you expecting me to give birth to ten kids?" I still wondered if I could even handle twins!

She laughed. "Oh goodness no! But just understand that the guardians at your school will be looking out for you even more than before. I demand that Mr. Belikov here must be with you at all times. The guardians around campus will watch over you but we need to protect the little Hathaway's."

"Sounds good to me, but if you don't mind me asking, why do I have to be here for 3 days?" I asked without thinking it through.

"First, I wanted to have this little meeting. Second, with the pregnancy and all, I figured you would want some time off from school and just relax! You are welcomed to eat whatever you would like, get a manicure and pedicure, and shop. Third, I request that you attend the Council's ball. It's a tradition for the Moroi Council to attend along with a date or their spouse. I'm hoping you will come." She smiled at me.

I sighed. "I guess I can since I'm already here." I looked at Dimitri. He shrugged.

"Excellent. You will wear a dress customized specifically to your family line. Tradition, of course." She stood. Dimitri and I looked at each and did the same as her. She walked off into a private room. Dimitri and I walked out to go find some food.

A/N I'm sorry its really short but its just setting up for the next chapters.
