It was the next day, I woke up extra early. I knew this because Dimitri wasn't even up yet, and he was always up before me. I looked up at the alarm clock. 5 in the morning. I groaned and got out of bed, walking to the bathroom. I was getting ready to go when I eyed the 2 pregnacy tests on the counter. I thought for a second, grabbed one and shut the bathroom door. After I went, I stayed in the bathroom, sitting on the side of the tub. I constantly shook it, waiting for the results. I sighed impatiently. This was taking forever. The test beeped and I jumped. Dimitri must have gotten some tests that beep when they're ready, the first didn't beep. I inhaled deeply, building up the courage to look at it and find out if I was pregnant or not. I exhaled slowly and inhaled another deep breath. I can't do this. To try and build up the courage, I set the test on the shelf and got in to the shower. After about 10 minutes of sitting on the floor of the tub, letting the water fall on me, I finally got out and wrapped a towel around my body. I took a deep breath and a second later there was a knock on the door.
"Rose?"
"Yes?"
"Are you okay? You're up early."
"Yeah. Just woke up all of the sudden and decided to get in to the shower and relax a bit."
"Oh. I need to go to the bathroom, can I come in?"
"Hold on."
I looked around the bathroom frantically, looking for a place to hide it.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes, just give me a minute."
"Okay."
I kept looking, there was no where to put it. I grabbed Dimitri's robe from the hook on the door and replaced the towel with it. I put the test in the pocket and unlocked the door, getting out.
"Good morning Rose."
"Good morning."
He went in to the bathroom, shutting the door. I sat on the bed, waiting for him to get out. After he finished, he came out and layed back in bed.
"I'm gonna sleep for a little while longer. Are you gonna be fine?"
"Of course."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too."
I went back in to the bathroom and sat on the side of the tub. Great, I lost the courage to look as soon as Dimitri knocked and said my name. I took a deep breath and sat on the floor against the wall. Time to build that courage back up. It took about 10 minutes to build it back up. I took a deep breath and got the test out of the pocket, feeling somewhat brave.
"Here goes nothing."
I looked at the pregnacy test and saw the results.
"So what do you want to do today?"
Dimitri and I were eating our breakfast, discussing what we would do today.
"I don't know, maybe we could walk around, see everything. It's not everyday that we get to go to Florida, being guardians and all."
He laughed. "Very true."
I smiled. "So do you want to?"
"Yeah. Maybe we could even go to the carnival?"
"Yes!"
He smiled. "Okay. It's all set. I'll call your mom at her hotel once we're finished."
"Alright."
When we finished, I took the dishes to the kitchen and quickly rinsed them out and put them in the dishwasher. Dimtiri was already on the phone with my mom.
"Yes, that'd be great. See you soon, bye!"
"So...?"
"She's coming with, and she offered to buy us lunch."
"Aww, that was nice of her."
"Yeah. We better start getting ready before we're late."
"Okay."
I got out of my pajamas, pulling on a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt. I sweeped my hair up in to a ponytail and sat on the bed cross-legged, waiting for Dimitri to finish getting dressed.
"Ready yet?"
"Almost."
"Hurry up Mrs. Belikov."
I could hear muffles, he was trying to hold in laughes. "You said you wouldn't bring that up."
I smiled. "I lied. At least I didn't say it in public or in front of anybody we know."
"True."
I went to sweep on a little bit of makeup to pass some time. Once I was finished, Dimitri was also. He hugged me and we grabbed a hotel key and left.
"So where should we start?"
"How about the line of shops?"
"Sounds good."
He took his hand in mine and we started walking.
"Oh my god, can we look inside of this shop?"
"Which one?"
"The bookstore."
"Okay."
We walked in and I imediatly went to the young adult shop.
"You're an adult, Rose."
I laughed. "I know. There's a new book I want to check out."
I looked around until I found the one I wanted. I flipped through the pages and decided to go buy it.
"Here." Dimitri gave me money.
"I can pay for it."
"I know." He smiled.
I took the money and bought it. "Thanks Dimitri."
"Your welcome."
I smiled and we walked to the restaraunt we told my mom we'd meet her.
"How many?"
"3, we're waiting for someone."
"Alright. What's her name?"
"Janine Hathaway."
"Alright. Follow me."
We followed her to a table and we sat down.
"Do you want to wait or go ahead and order drinks?"
"We'll wait."
"Okay."
She left and Dimitri looked back at me.
"So, I found a busted pregnacy test in the bathroom this morning. Want to explain?"
I played with my napkin, avoiding his eyes.
"Rose? Please?"
I still kept my eyes on my napkin. "I busted it this morning."
"And why did you do that?"
"I just did."
"What did it say?"
I played with my napkin again.
"Rose, plea-"
"Sorry I'm late!"
My mom came over to the table, hugged me and sat down beside me.
"It's alright mom, at least you made it."
She laughed. "Yeah. It took forever to find this place."
"Yeah."
The waitress came back. "Are you ready to order drinks?"
My mom ordered first. "Yes. I'd like an iced tea."
"Same for me."
"Same for me too."
"Alright. I'll be back with those."
She left and my mom looked back and forth from me and Dimitri.
"You guys okay? You looked mad when I came in."
I tried my best smile. "It's nothing, trust me."
"Better not be. I don't want my grandchild coming in to a world of fighting parents that'll end up in a divorce."
I looked down, hoping Dimitri doesn't say a word. But, when he has the chance to, the waitress comes back with our drinks.
"Ready to order?"
I answer, "Yes. I'd like just a basket of chicken fingers and fries please."
"Alright. For you, ma'am?"
"Just a fully-cooked steak, please."
"Okay. For you sir?"
"Medium-rare steak and fries, please."
"Alright. Order should be done in a little bit."
She took our menus and left. I drank some tea out of my straw.
"Do one of you mind telling me why it is you guys are so quiet?"
"I'm sorry, mom. Just been tired."
"You sure it's not from earlier before I got here?"
"Yes mom."
"Okay."
We all quietly drank some of our tea and sat in silence.
"So how much longer is your honeymoon?"
I looked at Dimitri.
"About 2 more weeks, unless Rose wants to go home sooner."
"I like Florida. We should stay until the end of the 2 weeks."
He smiled.
The waitress came with our food.
"Thank you."
"Your welcome."
As my mom and Dimitri ate, I sat there and thought. It felt like everything was eating my insides. I must have looked green or something because Dimitri was looking at me funny.
"Are you okay Rose?"
"No."
"What's wrong?" My mom wrapped an arm around my shoulders.
"I have something to say to you guys."
"What is it?"
I put my elbows on the table and layed my head in my open hands.
"Rose? Are you okay?"
I didn't realize I was crying until I felt something warm on my hands.
"Rose! You're worrying me, Are you okay?"
I wiped under my eyes and messed with my napkin again, not looking at either of them. It took a minute to look up at Dimitri.
"You know the smashed pregnacy test?"
"Yeah, what does it have to do with-" His face went blank. He must have gotten it.
My mom was now looking at him weird. "Dimitri? What's wrong?" She looked back at me.
"The test in the trash was an unused test. Here's the real one." I handed her the test out of my purse.
She looked at it, and her eyes widened. "Rose..."
I messed with my silverware, looking everywhere but her eyes.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I was going to...but I got nervous and lost my courage to do it."
She handed the pregnacy test back to me and shut her eyes for a moment.
"Are you okay mom?"
"Yeah...I just can't believe it."
"Believe what?"
"That it actually worked."
"Oh..."
She got up and asked the waitress for boxes and the check.
"Leaving so early?"
"Yeah. Something came up."
"Oh. Well here's your boxes and check. Pay up front."
"Thanks."
She started putting all the food in boxes and went and paid the check. I looked at Dimitri. He looked back.
"My mom is going nuts over this.."
"Yeah."
"I wonder why."
"We'll discuss it later."
She came back and picked up her stuff. "Well I need to head back to my family and you need to go back to the Court. I love you." She hugged us both tight and left.
I looked at Dimitri, the threat of tears in my eyes.
"Are you okay Rose?"
"No. I need her and she's gone. She left."
He hugged me tight. "It'll be okay. We'll go back to our wonderful house and start all of this planning. As soon as you see Lissa, you'll feel better."
"I hope."
We were sitting on the airplane, going back to the Court. I leaned back in the seat and shut my eyes, wanting to sleep away all of my worries.
"Is everything okay Rose? Do you need anything?"
"No, I'm fine. Thanks Dimitri."
"Your welcome."
I layed my head on his shoulder.
"Why didn't you tell me this morning?"
"I was too nervous. It took a lot of courage just to look myself."
"Oh.."
"You seem upset, like you didn't want me to be pregnant."
He gave me a look and honestly, it scared me a little. "Rose. I want this baby as much as you do. You know that. That's all I want. That's what I want for us. This baby is our future and I intend on having a healthy baby in 9 months and living for the rest of my life as a father to that baby, standing by your side, you being a wonderful mother. I know this is sudden and almost impossible for us to have a child, but I do want him or her with all of my heart. I promise. I won't leave your side."
The threat of tears came again. "Thank you Dimitri. I love you."
"I love you too. You should sleep, I'll wake you when we're close to landing."
"Okay."
"Rose...we're landing in about 5 minutes." Dimitri was shaking me awake gently.
"Okay.."
I slowly sat up and yawned.
"Good nap?"
"Yeah. I needed it."
"I bet, after your mom and everything."
"Yeah"
"So are you ready to see Lissa?"
"Yes. I miss her SO much."
"I bet. And since your mom's no help, she'll be helpful."
"Yeah."
The plane landed and we got our luggage and headed out of the plane and in to the Court's airport. I looked around and smiled. It felt so good to be home.
"Ready to go to our house? There's still basically nothing in it."
I laughed. "Yeah. We should set it up soon." I patted my stomach lightly.
We walked to our house and Dimitri unlocked the door. We stepped in to our empty house and I suddenly felt like I wasn't home anymore.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Just doesn't really feel like home to me."
"By the end of the week, we'll have it finished and we can even paint every room whatever color you want if you'd like."
I smiled. "Sounds good. But we need furniture."
"Already got it covered."
"What do you mean?"
"Down in Florida, I called a furniture company and a guy should be coming over soon with a bunch of catalogs and as soon as we find everything we want, he'll get the stuff and help up set it all up."
"Really? That's great!"
"Yeah." He smiled.
"So when should he be over?"
"In about an hour. Are you hungry?"
"Not really. Maybe we should call Liss over."
He laughed. "But there's no where for them to sit."
"True."
"Maybe we should go over there?"
"Yeah."
We left the house and walked over to the Royal building where they were at. Dimitri took my hand for support and we knocked on their door. It took about 2 minutes for someone to answer. Christian.
"What're you guys doing back so early? You're not due for another 2 weeks."
Dimitri smiled. "We know. We have something to tell Lissa."
"What? She's not here."
"Where is she?"
"She had a court date in the Hall."
"Oh."
"Yeah. So what is it?"
Dimitri looked at me and I nodded.
"Rose is pregnant."
Christian had complete shock on his face. I looked at him, waiting to unfreeze and say something. But he didn't.
"Christian? Are you okay?"
He nodded his head slowly. "I never thought it'd be possible."
"Neither did we. But we have proof, the pregnacy test."
I pulled it out and showed him.
"There it is. Positive in the pink, bold letters."
He gave it back and he let us come in. We sat on the couch and he sat in a chair.
"How long have you been pregnant?"
"We don't know yet. We plan on going to a doctor sometime this week and seeing. A few days ago it was negative, so it couldn't have been that long ago."
"Yeah. You still wanting to tell Lissa or should I?"
"I probably should. She'll probably flip, hearing it from you and not me."
He laughed. "True."
"We'll probably go home in a few minutes. Can you call us when she's home? We might be a while, so please don't give any signs that you know something."
"I will."
"Okay, thank you."
"Your welcome."
We left and walked back to our house.
"When do you think the furniture guy will be here?"
"Soon."
"I can't wait."
"Me either. What all are you wanting exactly?"
"Just some really pretty stuff."
He laughed. "That narrows it down."
"We'll need safe stuff, no glass furniture."
"Yeah. Cross that off our list."
I laughed.
"Want to take a nap until he comes?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. Goodnight."
"Goodnight."
I walked up the steps and layed in bed, rubbing my stomach slowly until I fell asleep. Halfway asleep, I heard someone ring the doorbell, but I didn't want to get up and see who it was.
Make my day, review ;D
