Chapter 2
*Dimitri's POV*
I awake to Rose frantically saying my name and throwing water on my face.
"Dimitri! Damn it Dimitri, wake up! Dimitri Belikov, wake up this instant!" She yelled.
I opened my eyes and sat up, a dull ache in the back of my head, I looked at my Rose, into her beautiful eyes, and smiled slightly. I finally got a full view of her dress, It was the same dress from the night long ago when we almost slept together. She still looks beautiful in that dress. "Roza, you would never believe the dream I just had. You said you never believe the dream I just had. You said you pregnant!" I said with a laugh.
Her face looked troublesome. "Dimitri... It wasn't a dream I am pregnant." She whispered, obviously shaken.
My jaw dropped slightly, searching for what to say. I was at a loss for words. "W-Was it Adrian? Is he the father?" My emotions went from shock to fury. It must have been Adrian.
"What?! I would never cheat on you! Especially not with Adrian! And he's been in Palm Springs, remember?!" Rose yelled.
"Well it can't be my child! We both know dhampirs can't have children together!" I shouted. It's very rare I raise my voice, espiecially with her, but I was furious. My one love has cheated on me.
Tears were welling up in her eyes. "I would never cheat on you Dimitri Belikov. I can't believe you actually think... I thought you would help me find out how this is possible, but I guess I was wrong..." She got up from the ground next to me and ran off, still in her high heels.
I wanted with all my heart to go after her, but I could only hurt her more. So I got up, put out the candles from out uneaten dinner, and walk to the place with the person who could help me learn how to make it up to Rose. Queen Vasilisa.
I speed walked to the queens quarters. No one stopped me from walking into her room, where she was reading a book in bed. "Queen Vasilisa. I apologize for barging in, but I need help with Rose."
She looked up and put down her book. "First off, Dimitri, how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Lissa!" Lissa chuckled. "But what's wrong with Rose?" Worry was clear on her face.
"Right. Sorry Lissa. But Rose... She's pregnant..." I sighed.
Lissa's eyes widened. "Pregnant? But who's the father?!"
I ran my fingers through my hair. "I don't know. She insists that it's me, but it's impossible. It can't be Adrian's, he's in Palm Springs with Jill. I just don't know..."
"Oh Dimitri..." She got up from her bed and hugged me quickly. "She would never cheat on you. Not Rose. Not the girl who went on a journey to fid you when you turned into a Strigoi."
That memory made me wince. I know what Rose did for me. "But it doesn't mean she didn't cheat."
Then, Lissa did something I never thought she would do.
She slapped me.
I staggered back slightly, caught off guard.
"Listen to yourself! You know Rose didn't cheat! So just except that something crazy happened and you're going to be a dad! Now go and comfort Rose, because I know she is freaking out about being a mom this young, being only 19!" She said loudly.
"But-" I started.
"No buts Belikov! That's an order!" She said with a lot of authority.
I sighed and left her quarters and went to find Rose.
