Chapter 3

Rose POV

I couldn't believe it. I looked back down at the two pink lines to make sure I read it right. Yep. I was pregnant. Tears started running down my cheeks. Dimitri left me. He didn't want me. He wouldn't want this baby either. I couldn't tell him. He'd laugh in my face and say the kid wasn't his.

As crazy as it sounded, Dimitri was the father. He was the only one I'd ever slept with. I'd come close with Adrian, but never quite there. I threw the test in the trash.

I walked out of the bathroom and ran into Adrian's arms. I sobbed, ruining his shirt. He got the message. I felt him nod to Dr. Olenksky and heard him thank her. Then he walked me out of the building.

For a second, I wished Dimitri would come back. Then I remembered that even if he came back, he would be with Tasha. He wouldn't care.

"So what are you gonna do?" Adrian asked breaking the silence.

"I'm gonna keep him," I said rubbing my stomach. I wouldn't be able to get rid of my baby. Whether It was adoption or other means. I couldn't it was mine.

"I meant about Belikov. You going to tell him?"

"No. He wouldn't care. He didn't want me. He won't want this baby. I'm not going to put myself or my child through that rejection. " I wiped the tears that were still falling. "I got to go see Alberta. She's more worried about me than my own mother."

He let me go and I walked toward the guardian building. Alberta was in a meeting so I sat down and waited for her to get out. It seemed to take forever. I heard Lissa in my head. It startled me at first.

What's wrong?

Nothing LIss.

I can tell when you're lying.

I'll tell you later.

You'd better.

The bond had finally gone tow way about a week ago. Not completely. Lissa couldn't be in my head. But she could feel my emotions and we could communicate telepathically. That was about it. As far as I knew. If she could be in my head, I was screwed.

Alberta walked out of the room. When she saw me, she was instantly concerned. Did I look that bad? "Is everything okay?"

The somewhat control I'd kept slipped away. I shook my head then put it in my hands and started crying. Alberta helped me into her office.

Alberta was like a mother to me. Maybe more than my own mother. Ever since she left me, Alberta took her place. "What's wrong Rose? Did someone hurt you?" It was a stupid question. Who couldn't I take out?

I got myself together enough to look up at her with dry eyes. "I'm pregnant." Her eyes widened. Out of everything in the world Alberta hadn't thought about that.

"I told you to stay away from Ivashkov. Now look what's happened. He's gotten you knocked-"

"Adrian's not the father. Dimitri is." Her eyes opened even wider. I was preparing for getting yelled at for being with Dimitri. It never came.

"You must be mistaken. Dimitri's a dhampir."

"He's the only one I've ever slept with. The closest I've gotten to that with Adrian was when he cummed on me this morning."

"It must be another shadow kissed effect. Oh well. I'll get my phone."

"Why?" I started to panic. Dimitri couldn't know.

"To tell Dimitri to get his ass back here. He can't leave you to raise that ked by yourself."

"No. I can raise him by myself. Please don't make Dimitri come back here." Dimitri couldn't come back here. He just couldn't. Any progress I'd made would be gone. I'd fall right back into his arms just to be crushed when he leaves again. Alberta stopped looking for her phone and raised her eyebrows at me.

"You sure?" I nodded. She sighed. "Fine but if he comes back you have to tell him." I nodded again. The chances of him coming back were slim. "Now what to do about your combat classes? You can just come down here and hang out with me during those periods. I'll tell your teachers some excuse."

I smiled. "Thank you." She nodded and sent me on my way. I went to Lissa's room. Time to tell her. I knocked and it took a few minutes to open the door. "Wherever Sparky's at he needs to get out."

"Go on Christian. You've been caught." He came out of the closet grumbling. I laughed. "You just came out of the closet." He gave me a dirty look and left the room. When I finally stopped laughing, I got down to business. "You can't tell anybody what I'm about to tell you. Not even Christian." She nodded and I continued. "I'm pregnant."

"Does Dimitri know yet?"

"No why would he need to?"

"Because he's the father."

"How do you know that?"

"Because it can't be Adrian."

"And why not?"

"Cuz you haven't had sex."

"How would you know that?"

"He complains about it all the time."

"How do you know I've been with Dimitri?"

"Come on Rose. I'm not an idiot." She was right. She wasn't an idiot. Though it was times like these that made me wish that she was. It would be so much easier for her to be clueless. I could pretend this baby was Adrian's. Finish school. All of this without anyone the wiser. But she wasn't and she knew. "Why haven't you told Dimitri yet?" she asked quietly. I felt the threat of tears in my eyes again.

"He doesn't deserve to know. He left me. He doesn't want me anymore. He won't want this baby. If I told him he would laugh in my face and say the kid isn't his." Lissa handed me her phone.

"You at least have to call him and tell him you need him back here." I nodded and took the phone. I dialed the number I had most memorized. Dimitri.

It went to voicemail. I was halfway grateful that he didn't change it from the automatic message. I didn't need to be crying in this message. The beep sounded. "Hey comrade. It's Rose if you haven't already figured that out. I need to talk to you like really badly so call me back." I hung up and handed Lissa her phone back.

I had just quite possibly ruined all hope of me ever getting over him. But at that moment I had really quite caring.

And yet another chapter is done of this monstrosity. I've read all of your lovely reviews and my lama was very satisfied. But you know how lamas like to eat a lot. ^-^ so yes review. Don't worry all of you Dimitri fans. He's coming soon. Like next chapter soon. And sorry about the short chapters. Originally I hadn't even worried about chapters so I'm just separating it by POV's. LOVE Y'ALL!
