Chapter 9 :) and thanks to WolfPackMamafor the review :) i just want to say, i'm so glad and relieved that the americans have killed osama binladin. i'm glad he had paid the ultimate price for all the terror he enflicted. i also think it was very big of the americans to give him a proper islamic funeral, and i commend their choice to burry him at sea. if his body had gotten into the wrong hands, he would have been made a martyer, or humiliated, like hung dram and quartered or something. the americans have gone up in my 'books' for being the bigger person, and realising that everyone deserves to be laid to rest, and let whatever is waiting for us after this life deal with the consequences of your actions; no one should try and play god. anyway, here it is :) sorry it took sooooo long in uploading, my laptop had a REALLY bad virus and i had to wipe all the software, and reinstall everything. hope you like it :) x

Bella's POV

Minutes passed, and Dimitri hadn't said a word. "Dimitri?"

"You're pregnant?" He whispered. I nodded, unsure of his reaction.

"I'm...I'm going to be a dad?" He whispered again, a small smile on his face. My answering smile was huge. "Oh, Bella!" He grabbed my hand and pulled me down to him again and kissed me until I was breathless. He rested his forehead against mine whilst our breathing evened out, and I saw tears running down his face. "You have made me the happiest man alive." He released my hand and placed his on my stomach.

"I'm only a few weeks, there won't be a bump yet" I smiled.

"Are you sure? Defiantly?"

"The test said its right 99% of the time, but I want to make a doctor's appointment just to make sure. I'm pretty sure, I mean, I'm three weeks late, and I just feel...odd. Not bad different, just different." I explained, smiling.

He grinned, and tried to sit up again. In doing so, he winced, and I remembered his injuries.

"Oh, gosh I'm sorry honey, I forgot. You must be in so much pain! Do you need some more pain meds?" I reached over and pressed the button on the wall, calling the nurse.

"It's not too bad. And besides, the pain meds make me feel drowsy, and I don't want to go to sleep just yet." He said, smiling.

"You need to rest. Go to sleep, I'll be here when you wake up." I said, kissing him again.

The nurse came in and injected a clear liquid into his IV tube. Dimitri's eyes drooped instantly.

"You sure you'll be here when I wake up?" He slurred.

"Of course," I said, placing my hand over his, which was still on my stomach. "We both will."

He grinned and kissed me again, before kissing my forehead and closing his eyes. A few seconds later, his soft snores filled the room, and his mouth fell into the pout he wore when he slept. Ever since I could remember, Dimitri could always fall asleep on will, even without drugs. I rearranged his oxygen mask, and went back to holding his hand.

I watched him for about an hour before there was a soft knock on the door, and Doctor Olsen popped his head in the room.

"I was just checking in. How's he doing?"

"Great. He woke up about an hour ago. He was speaking, smiling and breathing without his oxygen mask. I put it back on him when he fell asleep, but I'm not sure if he needs it."

"Oh, wonderful." Dr Olsen replied, smiling. "Give me a buzz when he wakes up again, and I'll check his chest. For the time being though, I would like him to sleep with the mask on. Now, I have a visitor for you."

"Oh?"

"Yes, the paramedic who found you. He wanted to see how you were doing. Could he come in? Or shall I tell him to come back later?"

"Now is fine." I said, looking at Dimitri who was in a deep sleep, not likely to wake up for a few hours.

"Ok, great. He's outside. I'll send him in. Oh, and Bella? Give me a buzz if you need anything"

"Sure thing, Dr Olsen." I said. The doctor disappeared and I turned back to Dimitri.

I heard the door open, and I turned around again to greet the paramedic.

I froze.

"Hello Bella."

I know it's a short one, but I had to cut it off here, or else it would be tooooo long :)

You know what to do...
