I WAS LITERALLY LIKE O.o

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!

Here the next chappie!!!!!! The one after this might skip ahead in time to where rose gets assigned to her Moroi.

Rose's pov

I could feel myself waking up. I had the feeling I'd been asleep for a long time. I felt really disorientated. Where was I?

I opened my eyes and saw I was in the school medical clinic—again. How did I get in here? I groaned. I really hated this place.

'Rose?'

I looked around the room and saw Adrian sitting next to me. I smiled at him. He looked truly worried. There was no trace of his lazy smirk.

'Hey. Why am I in here?' I asked him curiously.

He frowned. 'Listen Rose,' he said, and I knew what he was going to say was serious. He never called me Rose unless he had something important to say. 'I want you to tell me everything you remember.' He took my hand and traced small circles on it. They sent shivers down my spine, but in a good way.

'I woke up.....and then Lissa was freaking out over something.....I'm not telling you what though.' I said, giving him a nervous glance. 'It was just girl stuff.....and then I threw up.....then I talked to Viktoria.....then the dorm matron gave me a package and—Oh God.' I suddenly remembered.

In the package had been a silver stake and a note from Dimitri. He was coming for me. He wanted to kill me or make me like him. But I had a feeling he was over trying to reason with me. He'd want to kill me now. I chocked on my sobs.

Was I ever going to get away from him? What if he found me before my baby was born? It'd be stuck inside me forever. Or it would die inside me.

A new, sickening, cold feeling engulfed me. What if he found out about my baby? What if he found out he was the father? Would he try to kill it? Would he try to take it away from me?

Adrian's arms wrapped around me. I buried my face into his chest. I needed him. I didn't want to ever let him go. He hugged me tight. My sobs ripped from my throat. I'd never cried in front of him before. And I didn't like it. I was crying so much lately. Probably the pregnancy hormones mixed with spirit's darkness, I thought bitterly. Crying made me feel weak and useless. And I didn't want to feel weak in front of Adrian. I wanted him to think I was strong. I didn't want him to think I was useless.

'He's never going to stop is he?' I cried. Adrian hugged me tighter.

'Who isn't?' he asked.

'Dimitri.' It didn't hurt saying his name anymore. 'He isn't dead. He's going to kill me Adrian. Why didn't I kill him?'

'Oh, Rose.' He sighed. 'Don't worry he isn't going to ever hurt you. I won't let him. I'll kill him myself before he gets to you.' The fierceness in his voice made me stop crying.

I looked up into the emerald eyes I loved so much. 'Why would you do that?'

'Because I love you, Rose.' He said quietly. His eyes had a vulnerability I'd never seen before.

I smiled. For what felt like the first time in years, my heart was beating fast. But not from fear or anger. From a nervous excited feeling. I couldn't believe it. Adrian felt the same way about me that I felt about him.

'I love you too.' I said, and then I kissed him. It was a fast and passionate kiss, one that had me breathing heavy when I pulled away for air.

'Rosemarie Hathaway!' came a voice from the doorway. When I turned my head I was expecting to see Lissa standing there. I still didn't entirely know why I was in the medical clinic, but I figured it must have been serious.

I was not, however, expecting to see my mother.

'Mum?' I asked, confused. 'What are you doing here?'

'I'll give you a moment alone.' Adrian said and then hurried out the door.

My mum walked over to me, a dangerous glint in her eyes. I shrunk away, instantly scared. When she was close enough she slapped me across the face. I was too shocked to do anything but stare at her.

'That was for getting pregnant and trying to kill yourself!' she yelled at me. Then she sat in the chair Adrian had recently occupied and pulled me into a hug. The last thing I had expected her to do. 'Oh, Rose.' She said in a strained and exasperated voice. 'What have you gotten yourself into now?'

I hugged her back, feeling comfort from my mother's arms. A moment later she pulled back and stood up, going back into "Janine Hathaway" mode. She folded her arms across her chest. For such a small women she could be insanely frightening.

'Explain.' Was all she said. She had a look in her eyes that told me she did not want a short blow-it-off answer.

So, with a resigned sigh, I told her everything. And I do mean everything. I told her about Lissa bringing me back from the dead and how that had made me shadow-kissed. About seeing ghosts and sensing when the undead were lurking about. I told her about how Lissa's magic was leaking its potentially insane dark side into me through our bond. About how I'd fallen in-love with my mentor and we'd kept our relationship a secret. How I could never tell Lissa. How we knew our relationship was never going to work. I nervously told her about the night in the cabin, skimming over the details. Her eyes tightened at this but she said nothing.

I told her how after the attack on the academy, Dimitri and I were going to try and make our relationship work out. Then I told her how much it hurt when I couldn't get back to him in the caves when I could still see him clearly. I told her why it broke my heart when I'd found out he had been turned into a Strigoi. I told her about the conversation we'd had, when we'd told each other we'd rather be dead than become a Strigoi. I told her how I felt like I had to honour those wishes. I told her about the fight I'd had with Lissa. I told her about my time in Russia. How Abe kept following me around, demanding to know why I was there. I told her about staying with the Belikov's and the unpromised dhampirs. I told her about the deal I'd made with Abe.

I told her about how I'd hunted and tortured Strigoi until I found one that knew Dimitri. I told her about being kidnapped by him. About hesitating and ending up in Galina's estate. I told her about Dimitri wanting to awaken me so that we could be together forever. I told her about how I had seriously considered it. I told her about how he kept biting me, making my decisions less and less rational. And the hardest part, as she'd had an Oscar-worthy glare on her face, I told her how I'd slept with him. Then I told her how I felt stupid about it after the drug haze wore off. I told her how I'd managed to make a wooden stake out of the chair leg, and how I'd escaped. I told her about staking him with a real stake and how I'd thought he had gone from the world forever.

Then I told her about coming back to the academy and finding out I was pregnant. About my crazy mood swings, and about the letter I got from Dimitri.

'That's the last thing I remember by the way. I don't know how I ended up in here.' I said. I then remembered what she'd said before she'd slapped me. 'Did you say I tried to kill myself?!' I shrieked.

She looked scared for a second. 'It's okay Rose. Stay calm. I'm not going to hurt you.'

'Why are you talking to me like I'm a psychopath? Tell me what happened? I wouldn't have tried to kill myself! There must be some kind of mistake. I wouldn't do that to Lissa.' I rubbed my little bump, suddenly feeling very protective. 'I wouldn't do that to my baby.'

'You did Rose.' I looked at the doorway and saw Lissa standing there. Her face was the perfect mask of terror. She rushed over and hugged me. 'Rose, don't ever do that again! Do you know how scared I was? I thought you were dead Rose!' she looked up and I saw she had tears in her eyes.

My eyes widened. 'I don't know what you're talking about.' I said, but my voice was shaking.

'I got a rush of emotions from you, and then you were just so calm. It wasn't right. I came to find you and when your dorm matron and the guardians wouldn't let me in I got into your head. Your thoughts scared me Rose. You kept thinking how you wanted it to end. You didn't care if your baby died. You just wanted to kill yourself before he did. I didn't know who he was at the time, but I do now. I read the note that was in your hand.' She gave me a said smile. 'Christian told me about how me using spirit could make you insane. So I'm going to stop using it.'

I shook my head, still trying to take in everything she said. 'You can't stop using it Lissa. You love using it.'

'I love you more and I don't want my best friend to keep trying to kill herself because of me.' She said, with an edge to her voice.

I was struck by an idea. 'Liss, maybe if you just don't use it while I'm pregnant. I have all these crazy hormones in my system so I think that having extra darkness will really help. Especially with my emotional roller coasters and—oh my God, I almost forgot!'

I concentrated hard on the bond because I had something important to ask Lissa. And I knew she wouldn't feel comfortable if I asked this in front of my mum. Did you take a pregnancy test while I was out?

Yes, I did. And it was positive. Lissa sighed. Can you believe it? We're both pregnant at the same time. Wow, what a scandal. The last Dragomir and her best friend/future guardian both pregnant while their still in high school. I reckon Mia would have gotten a kick out of that if she still hated us.

Well, we'll help each other through this. We'll work it all out and help each other out.

We smiled at each other. My mum, understandably looked confused but didn't say anything.

Hope you liked it

In case anyone was confused, rose didn't remember trying to kill herself because she had an emotional overload and went a little out of it from spirits side effects
