Sorry guys that it took me a while to update. I started reading secret circle and couldn't stop so after reading both books and zipping through 350 pages of Thirst I finally stopped myself and started typing. I already started the next chapter so make sure you review and I will put the next chapter up ASAP. I definitely recommend both of these books very good.

"Hurry up or we are going to be late" Adrian yelled at me from the living room.
"Does it matter if we are late, it is a private jet it is not like they can leave without us" I hollered back at him as I attempted to zip my over packed suitcase. I hated packing and I hated it even more now that I was pregnant. So now I had an over stuffed suitcase with maternity outfits and sweatpants. For the most part I did not care what I looked like as long as I was comfortable. Once I finally got the bag zipped I went to pull it off of our messy bed, glancing at the disheveled bed I had to laugh, he was yelling at me to hurry when it was his fault we were running late. Ok that is a lie it was just as much my fault as it was his.
"I will grab that" Adrian said from the doorway walking toward the bed to grab my bag.
"Thanks" I said placing a gentle kiss on his lips before I started to make the bed. I knew the maid that came once a week was going to change the sheets and wash the comforter but I didn't want her thinking I was a slob. I had protested about having anyone come in and help with the house, but I gave in quickly when I realized how fat I had gotten and I still had three months to go.
It had been a month since Adrian used compulsion on Dimitri in my dream and although Adrian was reluctant to let me fall asleep to see if it worked he eventually gave in when I told him I could do it with him around or wait until he went to work.
"You are being ridiculous you risked your life attempting to do something that you did not know would work. Now all I am attempting to do is see if it did indeed work" I said sitting down on the bed. Oksana and Mark had left the day before so it was our first day to have the apartment to ourselves and all we had done that day was fight.
"Rose you can't keep throwing that in my face. I said I was sorry and if I remember correctly you forgave me" he said raising an eyebrow at me, most likely recalling that night and how it ended.
"We have to do this. You can wake me up after a few minutes" I said grabbing his hand to pull him toward me so he could sit next to me on the bed.
"Ok, but I am not joking Rose no more than two minutes and I am waking you up" he said tracing the outlines of my fingers with his own.
"I love you" I said pulling his chin toward me before kissing him.
"I love you more than life itself. Promise me you will be careful" he said pulling away slightly.
"Promise" I said before laying back slowly before closing my eyes letting my body and mind fall into darkness.
The darkness did not disappear, nor did it grow darker. The dream was plain there was no one else but myself. It was weird because I don't recall the last dream I had that did not include Adrian, Lissa, or Dimitri.
I felt the dream slipping as Adrian was shaking my body.
"Little Dhampir" he said into my ear speaking a little bit higher than a whisper.
Without opening my eyes I reached up and grabbed his hand. "It worked" I said still not meeting his eyes.
"It worked?" he said so close to my face I could feel his breath on my check. "Yup" I said opening my eyes to only be meet with Adrian standing over me his face so close to mine that all I had to do was sit up an inch and our lips would be touching and that is exactly what I did.
"Did you pack everything you will need" Adrian said a little louder.
"Sorry" I said pulling myself back to the present time. "Yeah I think so, if not then I guess I will have to survive without it for a few days" I said grabbing my purse heading for the door.
When we pulled up Lissa, Christian, and Eddy were already waiting next to the plane. I still had three guardians which by now was driving me crazy, I tried to talk to my dad when he called about cutting it down to one but he would not agree and Adrian didn't like the idea either so I was stuck at the moment.
"Hey, running a little late this morning" Lissa said smiling at me.
"I can't wait until you get pregnant so you can see how hard it is to get up and around. Now leave me alone I am tired and fat and I don't need any crap from any of you" I said stomping up the stairs to get onto the plane. I flopped down in one of the large seats toward the back of the plane closing my eyes. I was tired I hated getting up early before I was pregnant and now it was some form of torture. I cut my classes to half days since with each passing day I couldn't do more and more. Eddy was getting help from another guardian until I could come back full time.
"You are beautiful" Adrian said kissing me lightly behind my ear. I opened my eyes to look up at him. It amazed me how much I loved him and how safe I felt with him.
"You make me feel that way" I said pulling his face to mine, the kiss was slow and passionate the opposite of what the morning had brought but I enjoyed it just as much.
"Do you guys do anything other than make out?" Christian said taking the seat a couple of rows in front of us.
"Clearly we do" Adrian said rubbing my stomach throwing Christian a wicked look.
As soon as the plane took off I fell asleep, Adrian had shifted his body so I could snuggle up to his chest and spread out a little more. Although he didn't come into my dreams all the time when he was asleep he was there unless Lissa asked if she could. She had finally learned to let me know when she was coming into my dreams after she walked in on Adrian running to the ocean naked. I was sitting on the beach watching him laughing my butt off.
I woke up to Adrian mumbling something to Lissa, when they noticed I was awake they both stopped talking and looked very guilty.
"What are you guys talking about?" I asked glaring between Adrian and Lissa. Neither of them were looking at me and they defiantly were not telling me what I wanted to know. "Adrian" I said looking at him waiting for him to tell me, but he remained silent. I fixed my eyes on Lissa, she was weak and had a hard time keeping a secret even when you didn't ask her about it.
"Lissa, you know we don't keep secrets because it is not very nice" I said shifting my body so I was no longer laying on Adrian's chest. She looked like a deer in headlights staring at me with huge eyes before glancing over at Adrian hoping he would help her out.
"Fine" Adrian said sighing. "We were discussing what we thought we could do to protect you while we are at the academy" he said grabbing my hand to hold in his. I glanced up at Lissa to see if there was any truth to his statement. I tried to feel her emotions but had no luck there. While Oksana was here she helped Lissa learn how to block me, I was grateful not to feel her emotions all the time but now I was a little annoyed.
"Why would I need more protection when I have three body guards, the school is warded, and no offense to you and Lissa but what could you two possibly do if there was an attack?" I said looking at both of them although I could not feel her emotions something on her face told me that what Adrian had said was not truthful.
"I am going to go sit back with Christian" Lissa said getting up from her seat quickly walking the few feet to sit down with Christian.
"So" I said staring him down, I didn't need compulsion because I had an evil eye that terrified people.
"Do you really want to know?" he asked not being phased by my look. I nodded but remained quiet. "Fine we were talking about having a baby shower, I know you said you didn't want a party or anything but Lissa and I thought it might be nice to have something even if it is small" he said.
"Oh" I said sitting back in my chair I felt bad they were trying to do something for me and I ruined the surprise yet I didn't feel to bad because I hated surprises. "That is sweat of you guys to want to do something but I am not really in the party mood. As long as I have you guys, Eddy and Christian there I am happy" I said bringing my lips closer to his. Stopping right before they could touch "and cake" I said closing the space between our lips. My hormones were going crazy as we deepened the kiss I pulled my hand from his running it down his chest. I could feel his abs that he had been working so hard on getting and it just caused me to want him even more. My hand continued down his chest as he tangled his fingers in my hair. When I reached the quickly growing bulge in his pants Adrian let out a soft moan into my mouth.
"I want you so bad" I said feeling like my body was on fire.
"We are on a plane surrounded by people, two of them work for your dad by the way" he said squirming under my touch. "Bathroom" he said quietly.
I couldn't help but laugh. "Adrian I am huge I can barely fit in the bathroom to pee, we defiantly can't do what I want to you right now in that tiny thing" I said bringing his lips back to mine to let him know how badly I wanted him. I put a little pressure on the bulge to give him a little more reason to think harder.
"Sleep" he said pulling his mouth from mine. "You want to go to sleep instead of this" I said kissing his jaw line down to his neck. "No if you dream I can come and we can do what I have been dying to do again since you put your clothes on this morning" he said moving his head to the side as I kissed his neck slowly.
"How long until we land, I don't want to be woken up in the middle of something" I said honestly.
"Over a hour" he whispered into my ear. I didn't respond I just closed my eyes knowing he would understand.
"Wake up love birds" Alec said poking my shoulder before slapping Adrian in the arm. I reluctantly opened my eyes to see the smile on my guardians face. When I realized the guardians were going to be part of my life for the time being I figured I might as well get to know them. Alec was awesome he was from Iowa and had gone to an academy that was from his mouth in the middle of the hicks surrounded by corn and flat land. He told me how he would often sneak out and go to Chicago when he didn't have school. It made me laugh to realize that we had a lot in common when it came to school and sneaking out I figured that is why my dad picked him. He started to work for my dad over five years ago after his partner was killed, the Moroi they protected was saved from the attack but very unappreciative that his partner have given his life to save his. He said he couldn't protect someone that cared so little for what was lost. He found out about my dad and set up a meeting with him and had been working with him since then.
Eric on the other hand was not as willing to open up about his life. Alec told me to not take it personally that was just the way Eric had always been. I got a little information from Alec, Eric was born in Sweden and had never worked for another Moroi other than my father. Alec said that he had never married and didn't have a family that he spoke of, which was not surprising most male Dhampirs don't ever marry or have children unless it is with a Moroi to make more guardians.
Michelle was the worst and I figured the queen did it on purpose to drive me crazy. She never spoke, most of the time I couldn't tell if she was actually awake because how still she would stand and the lack of any emotion that she showed. Alec always looked happy but hard and ready to fight at the drop of a hat, Eric looked mad all the time but under the anger I could see pain. Something had happened to him that broke him, I just wasn't sure if I would ever know what. I decided I would ask my father about it the next time I spoke to him. Like I said Michelle showed no emotion and was a mute.
"Are you jealous the only person on the plane you got to cuddle up with was Eric?" I asked Alec as Adrian helped me stand up and work my way out of the seat and into the aisle. Adrian laughed grabbing my purse from the overhead compartment.
"Guardian Hathaway I can not wait for you to have that baby so we can finally duel" he said giving me a smirk before patting my belly lightly. If I was a royal physical contact would not be permitted and this action would be frowned upon but I enjoyed the fact that Alec and I had become friends.
"Why are you in that big of a hurry to get your butt kicked" I said following Adrian down the aisle to get off of the plane.
"Still so cocky and I just hope I don't feel to bad beating a mom up" he said attempting to follow me down the stairs but stopped when he realized I was no longer moving. "You ok?" he asked gazing around to figure out what I was looking at.
"I'm fine, it has just been a while" I say finally moving forward to let the rest of the people off of the plane. I was surprised to see Kirova standing next to Alberta and Stan who had returned to the academy after a few months when there didn't seem to be an impending threat.
"Oh my, Rose look at you" Alberta stepped forward to give me a hug. "How have you been feeling?" she asked pulling her arms from me to give my body another look.
"Good, tired and fat but overall the pregnancy has been good. I am sure Adrian has the latest ultrasound picture handy if you want to see the little monkey that is making me cry at lame sappy movies and pee every ten minutes" I said glancing over my shoulder to see Adrian pulling his wallet out to show her the picture. Everyone laughed at my comment and the fact that Adrian was proudly showing off the ultrasound picture.
"You look well" a familiar voice said coming from behind Stan and Alberta. Stan shifted revealing my mom. After we left I hadn't spoken with her, my dad would occasionally tell me that she had asked about me when he spoke with her but she hadn't made any effort to contact me not that I ever expected her to.
"Thank you" I said shifting from one foot to the other. I could have spent the whole trip without seeing her yet she is waiting for my plane to land for what purpose I do not know nor do I care.
"I am sorry to land and run, but like I said I pee every ten minutes and I am not sure how much longer I can hold it" I said smiling at Alberta as she beamed at the ultrasound picture.
"Rose do you mind coming to my office to speak with Stan and I about the graduation ceremony and a few other things once you get settled in, you should accompany her too Princess Dragomir so we can speak about your speech for the Moroi graduation" Kirova said glancing over Alberta's shoulder to look at the ultrasound picture. "You two will have a beautiful child" she said smiling at Adrian and I.
"Thank you and I will come once I get something to eat and I shower" I said smiling at her. It was weird to think how much I hated her and Stan and now I would rather spend time with them than my own mom.
"You ready?" Adrian asked grabbing my hand walking toward a car that was waiting to take us to the guest housing.
"Yes, I am starving and I have to pee. Maybe you can be a good boyfriend and grab me something to eat while I shower" I said smiling at him.
"Are you sure you won't need any help washing your back?" he asked with a seductive smile. I definitely had to think for a minute but hunger won out. "Maybe after I eat we can finish what we started on the plane but this baby is demanding food and who am I to deny this little monkey" I said patting my stomach with my free hand.
"Why do you insist on calling our child a monkey, it is worse than Lissa's pookie bear. I have no clue where you two got your nicknames but I pray to God that you both drop them before the baby comes" Adrian said opening the door to the car.
"Rose" my mother called to me before I could climb in. I debated on just climbing in and pretending that I didn't hear her but she was persistent and I knew I couldn't avoid her the whole trip.
"Guardian Hathaway" I said turning to give her a frosty stare. Her faced dropped momentarily when I addressed her as Guardian rather than mother. She quickly shook it off putting the hard cold mask back on.
"I was hoping that you and I could speak alone" she said closing the distance that separated us. "Anything you have to say you can say in front of Adrian" I said knowing she would not like what I was saying but I really didn't care. We didn't keep secrets and this would prevent me from having to do a play by play when we got back to the room.
"Rose it will only take a minute" she said almost pleading me to.
"Just go I will wait" Adrian said letting go of my hand. I knew that he wanted me and my mother to have a relationship since his family was close but after everything she had done and said I was done trying to incorporate her into my life that she so openly disapproved of.
"Fine make it quick like I said I have to pee and I am hungry and that generally does not put me in a good mood" I said walking past her so we were standing ten feet away from everyone else. I watched Lissa, Christian, and Eddy get into their car and drive away. Lissa glanced at me and smiled, I knew she like Adrian wanted me to mend fences with my mom.
"Rose I just want you to know that I am here for you" she said hesitantly reaching out to touch my arm. When I didn't pull away or object she rested her hand there. I was surprised and emotional I was fighting my body's natural reaction lately and that was to cry. I was thinking that maybe we could actually have some type of relationship that was until she opened her mouth again. "I am sure you feel trapped right now and that you have to stay with Adrian because of the baby. You may even believe your life as a guardian is over, but I want you to know that is not true. I will help you with the child until it is old enough to enroll here and then you can return to be Lissa's guardian like you always planned to. A child is no reason to stay in a relationship, and I spoke to the queen and she said she would help financially if need be. You do not need to worry about him being a Royal and the fall out you may think will come if you were to leave him your father and I will make sure you are ok" as she said the words and I was surprised by my restraint not to interrupt her or hit her because they both sounded good right then.
"You are unbelievable, why don't you ever listen. I am not you nor will I ever be. I love this baby and Adrian more than being a guardian more than anything actually so for you to sit here and tell me that you will be here if I chose to give them both up is crap. You want to look hurt when I address you as Guardian Hathaway instead of mom this is why. You either have no clue what I want or need or you just don't care but your help is definitely not it. Now if you will excuse me Guardian Hathaway" I said pulling my arm from hers before striding back to the car. Adrian was still standing outside the door having a conversation with Alec they both were laughing until he turned toward me hearing me approach. The smile that was on his face moments earlier was now gone.
"Are you alright?" he asked looking at my face before glancing over my head where my mother was still standing.
"I am fine can we just go" I said climbing in the door that Alec was now holding open. "Of course" Adrian said climbing in behind me. As soon as the door closed I let go of all of the emotions I had been holding in. "Gosh I hate her, I know that is not what you want to hear but I am so tired of her. She doesn't listen and she doesn't care what I want. Her mother must of dropped her on her head when she was a baby because there is no other way to explain it" I said staring out of the window as we drove to the guest housing. The school hadn't changed at all. As we passed the gym a small pang of pain went through my chest, Dimitri not showing up in my dreams was nice but I still knew he was out there and right now there was nothing I could do to help him. By the time we pulled out to guest housing I was practically climbing out of the car before it stopped.
"Hurry up and what room are we staying in?" I yelled over my shoulder. "Two twenty-one" Adrian said laughing as I sprinted toward the room. The door was thankfully unlocked.
"I will be happy when I don't have to do that anymore" I said walking out of the bathroom. Adrian was lounging on the couch smiling up at me. "I am sure it will happen with each pregnancy, so you should get use to it" he said pulling me onto his lap when I was close enough for him to grab.
"How are you honestly talking about me having more kids when I haven't even gotten the first one out. And please enlighten me on how many kids you believe we will be having" I said laying my head on his shoulder. I normally would have over reacted and freaked out but I learning to control myself and I knew I would be going on the pill as soon as the baby came.
"I was thinking enough to have a soccer team, but if you would prefer a football team I would be ok with that" he said as his fingers glided across my neck to move the hair away before kissing it. "You look so beautiful when you are pregnant and your hormones are quite delightful" he mumbled as he ran the tip of his tongue up my neck before stopping to gently nibble on my ear.
"You better enjoy my pregnancy beauty while you can because it will be a while before you see it again if ever. With us two as parents who knows what kind of havoc this little one is going to cause" I said closing my eyes to enjoy the pleasant sensations that Adrian was sending through my body. He chuckled in my neck, sliding his hand around my belly.
"You will be a perfect little angel won't you little baby Dhampir" he said gliding his hand under my shirt. Like always the baby responding kicking his hand.
"I don't get it, I talk to her all day and barely ever get a response and you say ten words to her and she kicks. Maybe you will be the only one that she will want to feed her in the middle of the night too" I said moving my hand to rest next to his feeling the baby kick my hand most likely telling me that wouldn't be the case.
We sat there in silence just enjoying the moment when my stomach growled. "I need food" I said attempting to stand, when Adrian's hands pulled me back down. "Alec is getting the food. We can make out to pass the time until he gets here" he suggested earning him a slap in the arm. "Is that all you think about?" I asked turning my head to see the smirk on his face.
"It is hard not to think about it when you are so beautiful and well placed on my lap" he said pulling my face to his until our lips were moving together. I shifted my body until I was straddling him the best I could without my stomach getting in the way. Slipping my hands under Adrian's shirt I pulled it up over his head immediately bringing my lips back to his while his hands worked my shirt over my head. One hand snaked around my body stopping at my bra clasp releasing it and pulling the bra off quickly. Each time he touched me I felt like my body was on fire and there was only one way to put it out. As Adrian's hands hand moved to my breast my hands moved down south attempting to get his pants unbuttoned.
The knock on the door brought our actions to a quick stop. "Did you lock the door?" I asked reaching to grab my shirt to pull over my bare chest. "I think so" Adrian said laughing when he seen the panic on my face. One of our friends seeing us in a compromising position was enough I definitely didn't need a fellow guardian that worked for my father to see my half naked.
"Hang on, I am coming" Adrian hollered while I climbed off of his lap pushing the bra that I hadn't put back on under a pillow and throwing Adrian his shirt.
"I am sure you are" Alec called through the door causing my face to instantly start to redden. This would have been a good time to have a normal guardian relationship when he would have been expected to stay quiet. Adrian apparently thought it was funny as he laughed and pulled the door open.
"You know she is going to remember all of this after she has that baby. I hope you don't like your face to much because I think that remark probably just earned you a broken nose at least" Adrian said grabbing the food from Alec. "Thanks by the way. You going to join us to eat" Adrian asked setting the food on the small table in the living room.
"I was actually going to check out the rest of the academy and see the points of entry and check in with the other guardians. Plus I am sure you will want to get back to what you were doing before I interrupted" he said looking past Adrian to me.
"I am thinking it will be the jaw that way he can't talk once I am done" I said flashing him a smile that I hoped told him I was not joking. Alec chuckled before walking out of the door. Before Adrian could sit down I had the bag of food in my lap and was pulling out a cheeseburger and shoving it into my mouth. Adrian grabbed the other bag and pulled out a few fries. We ate in silence like we normally did because I was so wrapped up in eating that there was no point in trying to have a conversation with me. Once I was done I leaned back rubbing my stomach wondering how something so small could cause so many changes.
"Rose" Adrian said using my actual name something he rarely did unless it was something serious or he was upset. So I immediately wondered what was going on. He seen the change on my face. "I just wanted to see if you wanted to talk about what Guardian Hathaway said. I figured maybe it would be good for you" he said, I was surprised to hear him refer her as Guardian but I was sure after today he knew not to call her mom. I knew he was right it was part of an exercise Mark had showed me. The less negative energy I had the better off I would be.
I was hesitant to tell him because what she had said was not only hurtful to me but to him implying that the only reason I was with him was because of this baby. How I longed for the woman that let me cry on her shoulder when I got back from Russia, the woman that told me she wouldn't stand in my way of dating Adrian that was until I got pregnant apparently.
I told Adrian everything she had said watching his face drop as I continued I knew that he wanted to see the good in my mother but she had none when it came to being a parent. The fact that my "Mob" like father was doing a better job being a parent. It was surprising and funny. Just last week he had sent us a onesie that said I love my grandpa and another one that I am assuming he had made that said mess with me you have to deal with grandpa. Adrian and I couldn't help but laugh realizing that he was probably not joking. Then we made a pact not to tell Abe if the baby ever had trouble with another child when he or she started school.
"I am sorry that you have to deal with her. I am sorry that you don't have her to lean on while you go through this. But she is wrong, if you ever decided that you didn't want to be with me I would never cut you off financially and I would never go out of my way to make your life difficult to be vindictive" he said pulling my hand to his mouth kissing it lightly. "I love you and this baby more than my own life and your safety and happiness is all that matters to me, even if that means not being with me" he said.
"I don't need her, just because we share the same genes it does not make her family. You, Lissa, Christian, and Eddy are my family. She is the one that is going to miss out and for that I truly feel sorry for her. Everything she said is ridiculous I know you would never do that and I don't worry about that because I am not going anywhere because if I haven't told you enough I am madly deeply in love with you" I said bringing his hand to my mouth copying the gesture he had made earlier. "I need to shower so I can go meet Kirova" I said making a move to get up. Adrian stood helping me off of the couch. Standing on my tipy toes I gave him one last kiss before turning toward the bathroom.
"Have you written your speech yet?" Lissa asked me while we walked toward Kirova's office.
"A little I should probably get around to doing that at some point" I said knowing that Lissa most likely had five different speeches prepared she was just having a hard time figuring out which one to use.
"Rose it is in two days, you better get it done" She said smiling at me when we heard someone laugh. I didn't need to turn around to know who it was "Alec you are begging for a broken jaw and nose" I said as I continued to walk, Lissa laughed at our exchange something she did a lot when Alec was guarding me.
As soon as we walked in we were ushered into Kirova office. She was sitting behind her desk while Stan sat in a chair across the desk from her. When they noticed us enter the both stopped speaking and stood to greet us.
"Guardian Hathaway, Princess Dragomir thank you for coming if you want to have a seat we can discuss a few things and give you a detailed schedule of the graduation so you know what time you will need to be there and when you will go up on stage" she said grabbing papers from her desk to hand us. We spent the next hour discussing details about both graduations. As Lissa and I stood to leave Kirova asked that I stay behind for a moment. Lissa whispered she would wait for me as I retook my seat and she walked out of the office.
"Stan you may leave too" she said gesturing to the guardian that was still sitting next to me. He stood and walked out without a word. Generally when I sat in this office alone it was because I had done something wrong and was here for punishment. Although I knew that was not the reason for being asked to stay I found myself thinking about my actions since I had arrive that she may want to talk to me about.
"Rose I know that we have not gotten along in the past. Although I admit some of that was because of me I have seen how much you have grown up since you returned from Russia and it has surprised us all and has made us extremely proud. With that I wanted to talk to you about what your plans are once you have the baby" she said leaning toward her desk closer to me.
Her words caught me by surprise so it took me a moment to realize that she actually just complimented me. "Um thanks, and to answer your question I am not quite sure what Adrian and my plans are. I have given up being Lissa's guardian and have decided that I will not be anyone's guardian once I have the baby. I am sure you think that is cowardly or irresponsible to my duty to protect Moroi but I refuse to leave this baby motherless because I am protecting someone else" I said realizing how true the words were. A few months ago I was still unsure of what I wanted to do and still thought about being a guardian but now it didn't matter because I wanted to be a mother above all else and I didn't care what people would think about my decision.
"I understand, I was assuming that your plans would not involve you being someone's guardian that is why I wanted to speak to you about returning to the academy and taking a more active role with the students" she said smiling at me waiting for a response.
I sat back in my chair attempting to think about her offer. We had never planned on staying at the Royal Court forever but now we started making a life there. We had our wonderful apartment, Adrian had a job he seemed to love and Christian seemed like he was warming up to it. The decision was not mine alone to make anymore.
"It sounds like a wonderful opportunity but I would have to speak to Adrian before I could give you an answer" I said hoping she would understand. To my surprise she told me to take as much time as I needed and excused me from her office.
I walked out of her office to find Lissa and Alec sitting on the stairs in deep conversation.
"Hey" I said grabbing their attention.
"What was that about?" Lissa asked standing up as Alec stood and stared at me waiting for an answer.
"She wanted to offer me a position to work here after I have the baby" I said walking past them toward guest housing.
"She what? What did you say?" Lissa said trying to catch up with me.
"I told her I needed to talk to Adrian, but I wanted to talk to you, Christian, and Eddy to see what you guys wanted to do. This is not only my decision, I promised to never leave you behind and I don't plan on breaking that promise" I said smiling at her. She smiled at me looping her arm about mine. The rest of the walk we discussed the babies room and how Adrian and I were going to decorate it.
"Well we actually decided to buy two different sets. One is for a girl and the other a boy so when I have the baby we will have someone come in and paint and set everything up while I am in the hospital that way it is ready by the time the baby comes and we don't have to decorate the bedroom in something that is not gender specific" I said.
"Have you picked the sets out yet?" she asked a look of hurt on her face.
"We have narrowed it down but I wanted to get you opinion on which two you like the most."
She beamed at me and told me she would come over tomorrow and help me look through them and that she had actually found a few things that she thought we would like for the room.
We said a quick good bye while she walked to her room and I walked to mine Alec remained at the end of the hall. I flashed him a smile before I walked into the room. I was surprised that all of the lights were off.
"Adrian" I yelled running my hand along the wall trying to find the light switch hoping I didn't bump into anything and thinking how I was going to have a word with Adrian how pregnant chicks in the dark is not safe. Once my hand finally came to rest on the light switch I flicked it on and looked around. The suitcases remained where we had set them down, the bags of food were still on the table.
"Adrian" I yelled again walking into toward the bedroom wondering if he had fallen asleep but he wasn't there. I was about to panic and get Alec when I noticed the piece of paper on the kitchen counter. I immediately grabbed it and started to read. My eyes filled with tears before the paper fell to the floor.
Remember to review. :-)
