Chapter 3

*Rose's POV*

"I can't believe he thinks it's Adrian's! Adrian, of all people! We've barely spoken in months!" I growled to myself as I sat in my room. It's been 3 hours since Dimitri found out I'm pregnant and stormed off. 3 hours and he hasn't come to apologize, beg for my forgiveness, or even talk to me about this!

"I hate you Dimitri Belikov!" I yelled, throwing one of my many pillows at the door. I threw it right at the moment it opened.

"I love you too Roza." The Russian man in the door way said. Eyes narrowed, I stood up from my lounging position on the couch.

"Well, look who finally decided to come. Look, go ahead and dump me. I don't care." I yelled at him.

Closing the door behind him, Dimitri crossed the room and sat on the couch next to me. "Rose, I'm not dumping you. I would never dump you, especially not at a time like this." Before I could come up with a snarky remark, he engulfed me in a bone crushing hug. "I love you. And I'm sorry that I blew up. I shouldn't have said you were cheating."

I pushed him away, slapping him in the face.

"What's with everyone slapping me today…" Dimitri whispered, shaking his head.

"You really think that I will forgive you like that? You said I was cheating on you with Adrian. Do you really think I'm like that?" Part of me wanted to cry. But the other part of me wanted to kick his ass.

"Well what else was I supposed to think Rose? Dhampir's can't have children together! You can't blame me for thinking something like this! Put yourself in my shoes Rose!" Dimitri demanded, raising his voice.

I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down. He's right; I need to put myself in his shoes. Okay, if I was him I would've thought the same thing…

I opened my eyes slowly, taking deep breaths. "Dimitri, I'm –" Before I could finish my sentence, a pair of firm lips were upon my own. His hands were on my waist, pulling me towards him. All thoughts of why I was mad at him left my mind. The only thoughts left were him and me and how much I loved him. I put my arms around his neck and deleted any space between us. He picked me up, putting his hands under my thighs as I wrapped my legs around his waist.

His lips never left mine as he took me to the bed.

If this was going to happen every time I wore this black dress, I'm going to start wearing it more often.

With my head on his chest, I risked the perfect moment to bring up our previous conversation.

"Dimitri, you are a sneaky little bastard." I stated, glancing up at him.

His chest vibrated with a laugh. "Oh really? Why is that?"

"You kissed me and slept with me just so I would shut up."

"Well, I hate arguing with you. And either way, neither of us are right. We both shouldn't have gotten mad. And we're both sorry, so it's okay." Dimitri said. He kissed my forehead and looked into my eyes lovingly.

"But… What are we going to do about a b-baby?" I whispered, barely able to say the word baby. In my mind, I haven't been able to really process that I'm…. with child.

"We'll figure it out Rose. I promise." He sighed.

"How are we going to do that?" I said, sitting up. "Are you saying you are willing to quit being a guardian to raise this child? I can't not be Lissa's guardian, and you can't not be a guardian. And I refuse to give my kid a life like mine, being raised by the Academy and never seeing its parents." I could feel my heart start to race, already imagining it. "I don't want our kid to hate us."

"Roza," Dimitri whispered, sitting up and pulling me into a hug. "We have time to figure this out. A whole 9 months. Well, maybe less… You won't be able to guard Lissa very well in your condition. And until we have everything settled, maybe we should keep everything a secret. This would be big news and I don't want people going to the same assumption I came to."

"Agreed on the last bit… But…Maybe I should get an abortion… It would be for the best." I whispered very quietly.

Dimitri pulled away from me, gripping my arms tightly. "Rosemary Hathaway. Don't even think about doing that. We will find a way to make this work. One way or the other, we will find a way to have this child and be a family."

"Dimitri, I-"

Again, I got interrupted. On the night stand next to the bed, my cell phone was exploding. My mind instantly went to the worst case scenario. Lissa was hurt. I snatched my phone off the table and answered whoever was calling me at the moment.

"What!" I snapped.

"Rose." a snarky, but angry, voice said.

"Adrian?" I asked, surprised. He hasn't called me in months.

As I listened to Adrian speak, my eyes widened. I turned to Dimitri, pulling the phone away from my ear for a second. "I think our 'keeping my condition quiet' idea is not going to work anymore."
