Chapter 15

*Dimitri's POV*

"Dimitri, snap out of it."

A pair of pale fingers snapped in front of my face, snapping me out of my daze. After blinking a few times, I was able to focus on everything around me. Christian was the first thing I really focused on. His black hair and ice blue eyes were very familiar.

"Sorry." I apologized hastily, embarrassed of being caught so off guard.

"Are you okay? You are really out of it." Christian asked as he sat down on the couch.

"Just some stuff with Rose. It's really stressing me out." I confessed with a sigh. Sitting down next to Christian, I ran a hand through my dark hair.

Christian gestured for me to continue.

"Something big has come up for us, huge actually, and planning everything is kind of crazy. I mean, we still have to go to Russia to tell my mother and sisters the news and find a way to tell everyone else." I was rambling, struggling to get out everything I wanted to say.

"What, so are you two getting hitched?"

"What? No, no we're not. I mean, I wish that was the news. Would be so much easier for both of us." I sighed. I knew Rose didn't want people to know the news, but Christian was one of the few people we could trust with the news that I could talk to without him turning all mushy. "Rose is pregnant."

I don't really know what I was expecting Christian's reaction to be. Part of me thought he would be judgmental. Part of me thought he would be full of questions.

"Congratulations I guess." Christian said with a small smile. "No wonder Rose has been acting more bitchy than usual. No offense."

"You're… You're not going to question me about who the father is?" I was both shocked and relieved at the same time.

"Well I hardly doubt she would cheat on you. Even if it seems to be impossible, I would guess the father is you. So again I'll say congratulations."

A smile snuck its way onto my face. "Thanks. It means a lot."

"No problem Dimitri." He smiled slightly, a rare occurrence. "Just remember to name him or her Christian or Christina."

"Roza?" As I entered Rose's room and saw the light was off, I was confused. I knew she was here because her shoes were on the floor near the door and her hoodie tossed on the couch. "Rose, are you here?"

Suddenly a bright light flashed through the room, making me have to turn my head to the side.

"Hello Dimitri." Rose says. As I look back to face her, I see her turning in a desk chair to face me. The only light that was on was a lamp that looked much like a lamp used during police interrogations on TV. "Have anything you would like to share with me?"

"No, not that I can think of." I replied.

"Nothing? Are you positive?" She got out of her seat and started towards me. As I opened my mouth to answer her, she put her finger to my lips. "Wait. Think for a moment before answering."

I racked my brain, trying to think of what I haven't told her. "Um… I ate the last pickle from the jar."

Holding back a laugh, Rose put her hands behind her back and began to circle around me. Her eyes were dark with mischief. "Wrong answer."

"Then what did I forget to tell you Rose?"

"Something very important. Something that you know I have been stressing out about for weeks." She hinted. I couldn't see her from where she was behind me, and that frightened me.

"Just tell me." I sighed.

"Think." She said sharply, her sharp nails digging into my arms from behind. "It has to do with a friend of mine. A blonde, royal friend to be exact." That was when it hit me.

"Lissa. You know that I was the one to tell her you were pregnant." She was going to kill me.

"Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!" She exclaimed in a murderous tone. "Now Dimitri, what would possess you to do that and not tell me? Why would you let your poor pregnant girlfriend stress about this for weeks? I get that she told you not to tell me, but you should have anyway."

"I promised. I never break a promise." She was going to kill me slowly and painfully.

"You do know that stress is bad for the baby. And, you kind of owe me for getting me pregnant in the first place. I think this kind of betrayal is worthy of a punishment." Rose let go of my arms and returned to standing in front of me, fire was evident in her eyes.

"And what kind of punishment would that be?" I asked nervously.

"You'll have to wait and see." She said in a sly tone as she smirked. Suddenly, the lights turned back on as if controlled by a remote. Rose turned and started back towards her bedroom. I followed her, kicking off my shoes and tossing my duster on the couch. "Ah ah ah, no sir. You can sleep on the couch if you want to stay here tonight. And if you do stay here I expect you to have a nice, big breakfast ready for me when I wake up. You know where the seats are."

I stood there dumbfounded as she swayed her hips walking into her room. I didn't realize until now that Rose was wearing the black dress that I love. "Roza, you're killing me. First you won't tell me what the punishment is, next I have to sleep on the couch, and now you're in that dress. That is just cruel."

"That's point. This is only part one of the punishment Dimitri. This is nothing compared to part two." She an evil laugh, she started to unzip her dress and kicked the door shut.

"Well, at least I have a nice final image to go to sleep thinking about."

I swear I could hear her giggle through the door.

Good chapter? I hope it was okay. Did you like part one of Rose's punishment? Just wait for part two of it! You'll laugh, you'll cry. It will be the feel good chapter of the year. Next chapter is Sydney and Adrian. I'll try and write it tomorrow! :D Please review and leave constructive criticism!

Love,
