Dimitri came into the bathroom with a worried expression. "Roza, what's wrong? You have to tell me."
I leaned my head against the wall and closed my eyes. "I don't know."
He placed his hand on my forehead and pulled it away. "You don't seem sick…let's go the hospital."
I shook my head. "Nooo. I don't want to."
His voice was stern and serious. "We have to. You threw up twice already."
I looked up at the clock. It was 3:00 AM.
I really didn't feel like arguing so I nodded once and rolled my eyes.
He took me into his arms, carried me downstairs and rushed me out of the house. There was a little hospital the next street away, and I knew if he was running for my life, we would be there in a few seconds.
I didn't know why he was making such a big deal out of this. The pain in my stomach had stopped already, but I knew it was still there somewhere.
I opened my eyes and found myself in a white room sitting on a small hospital bed.
A doctor with short, cropped black hair came in and shooed Dimitri to the waiting area. I would laugh if there wasn't so much tension on what was wrong with me.
She gave me one look and stepped forward. "Hello, I'm Dr. Minoskovsky. And you must be Rosemarie Hathaway."
I gave a little nod. "Rose."
She smiled at me and scribbled something down on her clipboard. "So what's wrong?"
I told her everything that had happened the past day and she listened carefully.
As soon as I was done explaining she took out something from her pocket and clutched it in her hand. She hide it too well, I couldn't see what she had.
"Rose, when was your last period?"
I counted in my head how many days late I was. "One and a half months ago when I graduated."
"When was the last time you had sexual intercourse?"
I gave her a weird look. "Uh…last week."
"And the time before that?"
"Two days before that."
"You say you have been having stomach pain?"
I nodded. "Yes."
"Have you been eating more then you usually do?"
I nodded again. Where was this leading to? Suddenly, something clicked in my mind. But I knew it was impossible.
"Any emotional acts?"
I recalled when I had pushed Dimitri aside and shot him a mean statement.
"Yes."
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly.
"Rose, I think you are pregnant."
And those were the words I thought. Third surprise was here.
My mouth dropped open. "Bu—but that's impossible. I only did it with another dhampir."
"Yes, but this has to do with you being shadow-kissed. Therefore, you may conceive a child with another dhampir."
I was in pure shock.
She unfolded her clenched hand and revealed a pregnancy test. "I just want to make sure."
I hesitated in taking it, but took it anyway and walked to the bathroom.
The results confirmed it. I was pregnant.
I gave the test back to Dr. Minoskovsky.
She smiled. "Well congratulations. Would you like me to give you some tips on pregnancy?"
I nodded slowly.
"Okay, first you will have cravings but don't get those too out of control. And you will be dramatic so be careful. And try not to have any hard intercourse while you are showing—"
"When will that be?", I asked, my voice crackling.
"You will be showing in a matter of eight to nine weeks."
Great, there goes the wedding plans.
I nodded. She said her final advice asked me if I wanted her to tell Dimitri.
I shook my head and left without another word.
As soon as I got out, Dimitri rushed to my side, but stopped as soon as he saw my expression.
We were quiet as we walked home.
I had the pregnancy test in my pocket. I really didn't know how to feel. I felt happy, nervous, excited, everything but angry. I didn't know how to tell Dimitri. What would he say?
Once we got to the house, I went upstairs with Dimitri trailing after me.
We were laying on the bed, still silent, until I decided to tell him.
I sat up, clutching my stomach, then pulled out the test, giving it to him.
"Positive." I whispered.
I was ready for a mad outcome but was surprised by his reaction.
His eyes widened by the sight then he looked at me with the same love and passion as always. "Why didn't you just tell me?"
"Because I thought you would treat me differently. That you would hate me because I'm pregnant. Do you want this baby Dimitri?"
He stroked my hair with one hand and put the test aside. "Of course I do, Roza. I know I'll love the baby and I'll never hate you. Actually, I would say I'm sorry for getting you pregnant, but I'm not."
I smiled. "So what are we going to do with the wedding?"
He thought for a moment. "Well…"
Something came to my mind. "Can we have the wedding after I give birth? I mean, I don't wanna walk down the aisle looking like a balloon."
He grinned. "Sure. So we'll stay at Court until your done, then we'll come back."
I nodded. Things were working out better than I expected.
I woke up extra early to tell Lissa that I was expecting.
It surprised me that I found her in the kitchen helping Olena with breakfast.
"Lllllliiiiiiisssssssssaaaaaa!!!!! Guess what! Guess what!"
She turned around. "What?"
"I'm pregnant!"
She squealed.
Olena's eyes widened in excitement.
Lissa gave me a big hug and started jumping us up and down. "Omigosh Rose! How? When? What? Where?"
I smiled. "I'm shadow-kissed! And Dimitri and I agreed that we would stay in Court until I'm finished, then we would come back and get married."
She screamed and hugged me once more.
Olena came over and hugged me too. "Oh congratulations Rose!"
I was so happy to be surrounded by people who cared. It made me feel…special.
Dimitri, his sisters, and Christian came down a minute later, wondering why Lissa and Olena were so excited.
Dimitri kissed me for a minute then turned to everyone else. "Rose is pregnant."
They all scream (except for Christian-but he was shocked) and attacked us with hugs and kisses.
"So is it a boy or girl?", Karolina asked.
"I don't know yet. I'm probably going to know when I get back to Court."
We all ate and talked for a while, then Dimitri and I went upstairs to pack.
Christian and Lissa didn't have to pack because they had only been here a day and they didn't have a chance to unpack. Poor Christian.
We finished packing at 9:00 PM. Which gave us time to have a little last "fun" in Russia.
Once we woke up, we headed downstairs were everyone was waiting for us.
"Goodbye, Rose, Dimka. It was nice meeting you, Christian and Lissa.", said Olena.
We said our last goodbyes then piled into the cab, where we started talking about what we would do when we would get back to Court.
"Rose." Lissa said to me while Dimitri and Christian were involved in their own conversation. "Remember those lines of shops near were Mia took us once to see her 'boyfriend'?"
I nodded.
"I just remembered that they had this boutique for wedding dresses. Maybe we could find your dress there!"
I lifted both my eyebrows up. "Slow down there. We have almost a year to plan the wedding. Remember? Pregnant." I said rubbing my stomach.
I wasn't showing yet, but if you felt around, you could definitely feel a bump.
Lissa's face fell, but recovered and turned into a sheepish grin. "Right…"
"But you could go ahead and buy yours."
She gave me a confused expression. "What do you mean?"
I pretended to look stunned. "I thought you would want to be my bride's maid or something. It's okay if you don't, I'll ask Mia."
Her face lit up instantly and pulled me into a tight hug. "Oh Rose! Thank you so much! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
I patted her head and sat back. "That's what best friends are for."
