I scooted closer to Lissa and clutched her hands in mine.

"It's a girl."

Lissa and I screamed in joy. I was having girl!

Dr. Waskovska smiled. "Congratulations. She is very healthy. Just don't drink or smoke and you're baby will be fine."

I nodded with a huge grin on my face.

"Congratulations again. I'll see you in a month." She said, then left the room.

Lissa grabbed the picture from my hand. "We should celebrate! I'll call Christian and Mia and Dimitri and everyone and we'll eat at this fancy restaurant I know."

I patted her shoulder and put the picture in my pocket. "Calm down, Liss. I'm excited too!"

She chuckled then sat down next to me. "How about we meet at this Italian restaurant near the bistro? Tonight at seven."

I was about to agree, when something came back to me.

I groaned. "I forgot. My mom and dad are coming to Court. There probably gonna stay at our house so…"

She shook her head. "Then bring them! Come on Rose, nothing can ruin this night, not even your parents."

I thought for a moment. It wouldn't hurt, would it?

"Fine" I said. "Just don't mention either my pregnancy or the engagement, okay?"

She nodded enthusiastically. "You got it. I have to call tones of people to come. Come on, let's go."

Once we were outside, we immediately called Mia on speaker.

"Hello?" answered a very familiar voice.

"Mia!" I shouted. "It's Rose!"

"Omigosh Rose! I haven't seen you in forever!"

I smiled. "Listen, we're celebrating something and we want you to meet us at that Italian restaurant."

"Okay. But what are we celebrating?" she asked.

I paused then yelled into the phone, "I'm pregnant!"

She squealed into the phone. "Congrats! I'll be there."

Lissa jumped into the conversation. "Okay. Bring whoever you want."

"Alright. Bye! Love ya!"

We said our goodbyes then hung up.

"I'm going home to tell Dimitri. You could continue inviting people and we'll meet you there with my parents at six."

She nodded then gave me a hug. "OK. See you there."

I practically sprinted home.

Once I opened the doors to our house, I was greeted by Dimitri.

"So…" he asked.

I took a deep breath and smiled. "It's a girl!"

He smiled and took me into his arms. "That's great!"

I nodded in agreement. "And also, Lissa's throwing this huge party to celebrate tonight at six. I forgot my parents were coming so we're gonna bring them."

He grinned.

"How about your new job at Court?"

"I'm assigned to guard the whole Court and inspect the wards."

I bit my lip and gave him a kiss.

He placed his hand over my stomach and grinned. "You don't know how happy I am right now, Roza."

"Not as happy as I am for sure."

We took in the moment and sat on the couch, talking about the baby for an hour or so.

"What are we going to paint her room?" Dimitri asked.

I crossed my arms and leaned against his shoulder. "Anything but pink. I just can't stand the color."

He chuckled and put his arm around me. "How about yellow."

I nodded. "Yellow's cool. Liss and I could head down to the furniture store next week while you get the paint and stuff."

He agreed sheepishly, then his phone rang.

"Belikov." He answered.

He paused, apparently listening to the speaker.

"Okay, we'll get ready. Bye." He said a moment later.

He turned to me and shut his phone closed. "They just arrived. They're on their way here."

My eyes widened. "Who do you mean by 'they'?"

He took a deep breath. "Your parents."

All the worries suddenly came back to me.

"Relax Roza." He soothed calmly. "Go upstairs and change. I'll call you when their here."

I nodded miserably then headed upstairs.

My stomach was still flat, but it showed a very little bump that you could hide if you wore a loose shirt, which I did.

I changed into one of my big black t-shirts and jeans and tried to make myself presentable by brushing my hair up into a high ponytail.

Hopefully she won't think I'm dressed like a slut, I thought.

While examining my stomach in the mirror, Dimitri called out.

"Rose! They're here!"

I took a deep breath and headed downstairs.

My mother was in the middle of glaring at Dimitri when I arrived. My father, looking around the house, clearly amazed.

They all stopped once they saw me.

I waved at them awkwardly. "Um. Hi mom, Abe."

My mother nodded at me. "Hello Rose. You look good."

I said a quick thanks then looked back down.

My father came over to me and patted my shoulder. "Good to see you again, Rose."

Then he looked over and Dimitri. "But who's this?"

Dimitri smiled warmly. "I'm Dimitri Belikov. Rose's boyfriend."

I sighed in relief when he said "boyfriend" and not "fiancée".

Abe went over to him and shook his hand. "Pleasure to meet you, Dimitri."

My mother was still, at the moment, glaring at Dimitri.

"Are you keeping her safe, Belikov?" she asked, a little too harshly.

He nodded. "Of course. In fact I've asked Rose to—"

Things were going too quickly. So I cut him off, worried about my mother's reaction.

"Oh!" I mentioned, hoping my mother would fall for it. "I forgot. Lissa's inviting us to dinner. We don't want to be late!"

I had to admit that I said that a little too anxiously.

My mom lifted an eyebrow. "What's the occasion?"

"Oh you'll find out soon enough." I muttered, grabbing my gray trench coat and leading them outside.
