Chapter 3
The vampire day was just starting and the first class would be starting in five minutes. As always I was going to be late and guess who's class I have.. yep that's right Stan.. this is going to be fun. I walked across campus to where Stan's class was held. I tried to sneak in but as my luck would have it I was caught. " Miss Hathaway! What a wonderful surprise. You have finally decided to show up." He said sarcastically. I walked over to my seat. And let the torture begin. As class went on I was called on constantly. At one point I sort of yelled at him resulting in my dismissal from the class. As I waited in the hall I saw Dimitri coming down the hall.
" Rose what are you doing out in the hall?"
"Well I was getting picked on by Stan."
"Guardian Alto" Dimitri corrected.
"Whatever.. He would not stop calling on me so I my have voiced my opinion by yelling." I said lowering my head. He shook his head at me.
"What am I going to do with you? Come with me we have to go see Kirova." I started to panic.
" But we can't." I said grabbing his arm.
" That's not what I meant Roza. We need to tell her your pregnant and make sure we have everything set up for your classes." I slowly nodded and we continued walking. He smiled at me then as we neared Kirova's office he slipped a Guardian mask on. We walked into her office and for the first time ever I was afraid of what would happen.
DPOV
As we walked into Headmistress Kirova's office I took my spot by Alberta against the wall. " Miss Hathaway, why are you in my office." Kirova said. I spared a glance at Rose. I had told Kirova and Alberta that Rose had something she wanted to let them know about, but I did not tell them what it was about.
" I …. I 'm pregnant" She whispered. Beside me I heard Alberta gasp her guardian mask failing her. She shot a look at me but I kept looking forward.
" Are you sure?" Kirova asked. Rose just nodded her head. " Then I have no choice but to take you out of classes."
"What? You can't do that if you do I wont graduate." Rose shouted. Alberta moved from the wall and walked over to Rose's chair.
" I am sorry to interrupt but we don't have to do that. She can stay in classes and for her combat classes Dimitri and I can work with her with specialized training. We cant afford to loose a female guardian." Kirova nodded.
" I guess you are right the only thing about that is she will not be able to take her trials so she would not be able to graduate."
" She has real world experience she does not need the trials to say that she is capable of defending the Mori." Alberta stated.
"You are right. Miss Hathaway I suggest that you head back to your classes. During your combat classes Alberta and Dimitri will meet you in the gym. You are dismissed." Everyone nodded and stood to leave. Rose turned back to Kirova.
" Do you mind if we could keep this between us and the teachers and guardians?" Kirova nodded her head. Rose turned and walked to the door. Rose headed to her second class as Alberta and I headed in the direction of her office. We slowly walked through the commons to reach her office on the other side. When we walked in she sat behind her desk.
" Okay have a seat Guardian Belikov have a seat. We need to make a specialized work out. I can show you some of the workouts and training I learned while I was pregnant." My eyes must have been wide because she chuckled and then said " Yes I have been pregnant. The same thing happened to my husband and I though we didn't have the age gap as you and Rose." I just knew my mouth was hanging open.

" Are you saying you are shadow-kissed?" She shook her head.
"No but my husband is. It works both ways. There is the Mori part that is stronger in the ones that have been touched by shadows. My daughter was a surprise and we have to keep her powers hidden from the school. Your child will live a normal life but it will be tough." I nodded my head glad she decided I was worthy of this knowledge. " Now it's time for us to me Rose at the gym."We stood and proceed to go to the gym.
RPOV
The classes up until Combat where a blur. Eddie ran up to me, " Hey Rose you wanna be my partner today?" I shook my head no.
" I think I am training with Alberta and Dimitri from now on. I'll explain more tonight. You have to come by Adrian's room after school." We continued on to the gym. Once we arrived Dimitri and Alberta were waiting by the door. I told Eddie bye and walked up to Dimitri " Hey comrade, you ready. Where are we going to practice?" Dimitri walked to the second gym that was used when we practiced with steaks. Alberta walked over to the center of the mat.
" Rose I want you to stand in front of me. We will be doing low impact training. The first thing I need you to do is punch my hands then we will move to kicking your range should be fine but when you start to get a baby bump then your range of motion will decrease. The lesson continued on and Dimitri was a demonstrator. After all of that I was sore. I have one more class I just have to get through this class and then I would be home free.
