Chapter 5

Previously:
I was laying on my bed for about 15 minutes after Dmitri left when there was a knock on my door. " hang on im coming." I got up and unlocked the door to revile the person be hind. "Mom?"

"What are you doing here?" she looked me up and down.

"Rose, I have herd some things around and I am hoping they are not true."

"What have you herd? I asked. I led her over to the desk chair and I sat opposite of her on the bed.

" I have herd that you are pregnant."

" yes I am pregnant." I said in a whisper.

" Oh Rose, how could you be so irresponsible. Do you even understand how you have ruined your life? "She was just rambling now. I had to get her to listen to me I don't know what I would do if she was disappointed in me

"Mom, please let me explain." I said as the tears started to flow. She nodded. " I am not the whore that everyone thinks I am. I have only slept with one person and only once. The reason we did not use protection is because we thought that it was not possible for us to get pregnant."

" Rose there is always a chance to become pregnant when with a Mori man." she explained.

" I know that but I have never been with a Mori man. I have only been with a dampair." She gasped.

" There is no way that is even possible."

" The only reason it is possible is because I am shadow-kissed. That means that in the car accident Lissa used spirit to bring me back to life witch in turn healed the mori part of me. This is why I am able to conceive with another dampair."

" okay. I guess that makes since but are you going to keep the baby."

" Mom I can't give him/ her up this is a miracle this should not even be possible. We are going to raise the baby together, him and I." I let out a big yawn and she sighed.

"I guess I should get going and let you and my grandchild get some rest." I got up and gave her a hug. "Rose, don't make the same mistake as me. Be there for him or her. I love you my sweet rose. Good night. She gave me one last hug and left. I got ready for bed. I went to sleep shortly after I fell to sleep.

My shift was almost over and I was tired. I had to wait until the next person showed up before I could leave. Spring Break was just around the corner and I had talked to Lissa about us going to Russia so that Rose could meet my family. We worked out the details of who was going and where everyone would be staying. My mothers house had been expanded recently and she has added a suite type of living space for guests so we decided to stay there. Roses birthday was on the third day of spring break and I was hoping to... I was brought out of my thoughts by the sound of someone walking up to me. I turned to find Janie Hathaway. Oh shit. " I am here to take over the next shift."

"Okay does Rose know you are here?"

"Yea I just came from there I'm guessing you know about her pregnancy and all?" she eyed me.

Oh god she's toying with me. She knows I am the father. I nodded. " Do you know who the father is?" She asked. She knows and is toying with me. She just wants me to admit that I am the father. I nodded again. " Then tell me who it is."

I took a deep breath. " I am." She looked at me wide eyed. Then I realized that she really didn't know and I just let the cat out of the bag. Her face turned red. " Guardian Hathaway please let me explain."

" NO!" she yelled. " You are seven years her senior,and if that was not enough then on top of that you are her mentor. I am all for dampair and dampair relationships but you could not have waited until she had turned 18?"

" It just happened." She shook her head.

" That was how it was with her father. I was just 18 and had got my first assignment in Turkey. That's where I met him. We hit it off and then I ended up pregnant. We had to give up our relationship because people did not approve of it. So we went our separate ways. I just don't want her to end up having to give up the life she wants with you."She took a deep breath. " Just promise me that you will not leave her and that baby. They need you.".

" I will never leave her she is my life and that little baby is our miracle. I would have given up having children to be with her. And now we don't have to make that sacrifice." She sighed. Then nodded.

"Take care of them." she said before she walked to check in for her shift. I slowly walked back to my room. I got to my room and Tasha stood at my door.
