THANKS EVEYRONE FOR REVIEWING! I LOVE LOVE LOVE REVIEWS! And I'm so glad you guys enjoyed the first chapter! The second chapter is slightly shorter, but I hope it's not too bad , here you go...
Dr Olendzki told me that my baby was fine, I didn't have any serious injuries apart from a few huge bruises on my back and legs. Dr Olendski sent me back to my room after prescribing some prenatal vitamins and ordering Dimitri to make me rest in bed for at least two days. But of course, I didn't listen to her.
"Roza. Are you done?" Dimitri asked, he was standing next to my bed with his back to me while I took off my red dress and shuffled through my closet for something casual to wear.
"You don't have to turn away. It's not like there's anything you haven't seen." I told him, purposely taking my own sweet time shifting through each of my clothes one by one.
He cleared his throat and kept quiet.
I rolled my eyes and quickly slipped on a tight black tank top. "Pass me my leather pants please, it's next to you on the bed."
Dimitri turned around slowly and gawked at me.
I smiled at him "See anything you like?"
"Roza." His voice was strained and he avoided my half naked body, fixing his gaze somewhere over my head. "Um. Your leather pants , yeah." He mumbled something in russian and quickly grabbed my pants, tossing them to me without looking.
"Geez." I pulled my pants on and walked over to him. "I'm already pregnant with your baby, what else can happen?" I trailed my fingers over his amazing biceps and felt him shiver.
"Rose." He suddenly seized my wrists and looked into my eyes with a grim look. "We have to keep this a secret until you graduate , ok?"
"Of course. I know."
"You know we can't be together." I was taken aback by that.
"But why? You said you'd never leave me!" I leaned closer to him."Please Dimitri, I need you."
"Rose. Stop. Do you still want to protect Lissa? If you do, do you want to be like your mother? Do you want your child to feel unwanted and resent you? Stop being so childish and think for a second ok?" His words hit me like a punch in the gut.
Leave it to Dimitri to say all the serious crappy negative stuff. Of course I still wanted to protect Lissa. Ofcourse I didn't want my child to feel the way I felt. But the thought of having a little Dimitri in my arms sent a little warm flutter through my heart. It would part of me and part of him. But looking up at Dimitri's serious mentor face, it seemed like he didn't want our baby. Since I love him, I wasn't going to force anything on him.
"So… You, you think I should get and abortion?" I whispered, my voice cracked at the end. Stupid hormones.
Seeing that his words had hurt me , Dimitri sighed and put a hand on my cheek. "I'm sorry Roza."
I swallowed and nodded, enjoying the warmth of his palm and resisting the urge to kiss him.
"You know." He said gently "I used to think that my job was everything, that I should always put the moroi first, that only they're important. But now, you're the most important thing in my life. I tried to fight my feelings for you, really hard." He kissed my cheek softly and caressed my face with both hands. "I love you Roza and i'd happily give up everything for you and our baby."
I felt like crying but managed to stop myself. "How about Lissa?"
"You'll have to choose one. Either have the baby and we'll get married or you protect Lissa and I protect Tasha."
I frowned " Why Tasha? Can't we both protect Lissa?"
"You know why we can't." He let his hands drop to his sides and walked to the door of my room. "Think about it , it's your choice."He said and left the room.
I sat on my bed for a long time, just gazing out the window. Suddenly, I was sucked into Lissa's mind.
Ugh. I've got to figure out a way to control this stuff.
"Lissa." Christian whispered. He was holding her hand and they were walking through some forest. "You sure you don't want to go back? I'm sure Rose can take care of herself."
What the hell?
"Look." Lissa turned to him angrily "You don't have to be here if you don't want to. I know you don't really like Rose but she's run away and…" She huffed, rubbing her eyes wearily." Pregnant. Gosh. I can't believe she didn't tell me."
"It's dangerous here. It's still night time and there may be strigoi lurking around here." He warned her.
With that, I was out of her mind and running out of my dorm to Dimitri's room. I knocked on his door and it swung open, he wasn't inside. Not bothering to wait for him, I grabbed the silver stake that I had learned from past visits was in his drawer and sped off to the school's East entrance. I knocked out the two guardians guarding the gate once again.
I could feel Lissa near me as I tore through the forest. "Lissa!" I shouted. "Lissa!"
A scream broke through the silence in the forest and I picked up my speed. The scream wasn't Lissa's though, it sounded like a boy… Christian.
I found them near some creepy willow trees. Christian was trying to burn a strigoi with fire and Lissa was staring at them wide eyed. The strigoi didn't look very old or strong, he was just slightly taller than me. Without thinking, I ran up to him and shoved the silver stake into his heart.
"Rose!" Lissa cried.
"Hey." I say, dropping the stake to hug her. "You ok?"
She pulled back and smiled at me "Of course i'm ok. You always keep me safe."
I smiled back at her, immediately feeling better.
"Rose…." Lissa said uneasily "Are you…um pregnant?"
I suddenly felt super self conscious and shrugged. "Yeah , it's no big deal. Im going to have an abortion." Which of course was untrue but I didn't want to make a big deal of it in front of Christian , I was going to talk about it with Lissa later but infornt of Christina, I was staying badass just incase Mia asks him about me.
There was a loud thud behind us and we looked back at Dimitri. His face was shocked and a silver stake lay by his foot.
"Dimi-" I started to say. He held up his hand and turned to Lissa and Christian.
"I'm here to take the two of you back to school."
"Di-" I started again but he cut me off.
"Ms Hathaway, is there anything you want to add to what I just said?"
"Um. No."
"Good, then stop talking." He took Lissa and Christian's arms and dragged them back to school. The sun started to rise when we were back inside school grounds , so Lissa and Christian hurried back to their rooms, leaving me and Dimitri standing alone outside. "So, abortion huh?" He said after awhile of uncomfortable silence which was rare between us.
"No, Dimitri, I-" He cut me off again.
"You don't have to explain."
"I do, Dimi-" He cut me off again.
"I told you. It's your choice, you don't have to explain."
Why does he keep cutting me off? I was getting super pissed at him. "Dang it! Will yo shut the hell up and listen to me for a minute?" I shouted. Anger swelled up in me threatening to cause me to harm someone but then faded and I started tearing up. "I already told you that I love you! You promised that you would stay with me! Why are you so eager to let me go huh? I guess after all this time you still think of me as a student, as a child , or maybe you're just bored of me. I bet you've never even loved me." I knew I was being a little overrated and the furious look on his face proved it.
"Stop!" He growled. "Don't tell how I feel!" He seized my arms and pushed me against the wall, his lips crashing down onto mine. I kissed him back , feeling his anger and smelling his after wash , my hands slid down his soft brown hair, releasing the ponytail. I was the one who pulled back.
"I've made my decision." I told him.
