Here's chapter 22! Despite being away from home most of the day, I'd gotten it finished :) 2 chapters in 1 day! How lucky are you guys? :) I know this one's a little shorter than 21, but I'll make up for it by doing a POV as the next chapter :) Enjoy chapter 22!

"Today was great," Dimitri said as we were laying in bed, about to go to sleep.

I smiled. "Yeah, today was great. I'm so excited now."

He was on his side, facing me. He reached over and slowly ruubed my stomach clock wise. I looked into his gorgeous deep brown eyes and smiled.

"We now know we have a baby girl inside of you, and your mother is going to be moving permanetly to the Court. I'm so happy for you, Roza."

I placed my hand on top of his. "Thank you, Dimitri. I'm so happy too. The extra help will be nice, especially since Lissa's pregnant too."

He chuckled. "Yeah. Hopefully she has a girl too so you 4 girls can have some girl time."

I smiled at the thought. "That would be fun. When they're around 4-6, have little sleepovers and do stuff like paint our nails and do our hair."

"Would fathers be aloud?" He said with a threat of a smile on his lips.

"If the fathers are fine with their nails being painted and their hair being played with, yes."

We both laughed at the thought of him and Christian with pink nails and their hair in piggytails, but all around their heads.

"I'm not sure if I want my nails to be pink."

I smiled. "Well then you and Christian can have a guys night."

"Oh, what? Watching tv all night or playing some video games?"

I laughed. "I guess. I don't know what guys do when they're hanging out."

He smiled and leaned down, his face inches from mine. I bit my lip and looked into those beautiful eyes of his. He grinned and closed the distance, kissing my lips deeply. I kissed him back and he let go too soon. I pouted.

He smiled. "Did I ever tell you pregnancy makes you so damn beautiful?"

I looked at him and blushed. "No you haven't."

He grinned. "Well, it does."

Before I could protest as to how my stomach getting bigger was beautiful, he kissed me again, this one deeper and more passionate than the first. He'd gotten off of his side and hovered above me, being careful so he wouldn't smush the little one, never taking his lips off of mine. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he rubbed my thigh, grabbing it and wrapping my leg around his waist. I broke off the kiss and he started to kiss down my neck.

"What about Demitra?"

He took his lips off of my neck long enough to answer. "As long as we're careful and slow, she'll be fine." His lips were on my neck again. I let out a moan.

"Please be careful of her.."

"I will."

He was now on my chest, getting ready to pull up my shirt and kiss down my chest and stomach. I ran my hands through his hair and grabbed it. He grabbed my leg and unwrapped it from his waist and with my help, pulled my shirt off and started kissing down my chest. Once he'd gotten to my stomach, he'd left one kiss on my stomach where the baby was. I wiggled out of my pj bottoms, with Dimitri pulling them off of my legs, and he kissed all over my thighs. Too soon he stopped and I looked down at him, confused.

"What's wrong Dimitri?"

"Are you completely sure you want to do this? I don't want to feel like I pressured you into this."

"Yes, I'm completely sure Dimitri. Besides, this could be our last chance. Soon the baby will bigger and we won't be able to do this."

"Alright, as long as you're okay with it."

We smiled at each other and he eagerly pulled my underwear off, kissing me in all the right places. I couldn't control myself, I pulled on his hair until he was done and smiled up at me.

"Ready?"

I smiled. "Yes!"

He helped me sit up and I pulled off his boxers, leaving us both completely naked. We layed back where we were before and slowly our bodies melted together, like I was an unfinished puzzle and Dimitri was the missing piece.

I woke up and it was morning, well morning to the Moroi. I'd caught the sunset before it went completely down. I smiled.

"Goodmorning Roza."

I looked up at my Russian god and smiled at him. "Goodmorning."

"The sunset's beautiful."

"Yes it is. I haven't seen it since Liss and I had ran away from the academy."

He chuckled. "Well I imagine, with us living on vampire time."

"A perfect ending to a perfect night.."

His arms around me tightened. He leaned down and kissed me softly. I kissed him back.

"Thank you for tonight, Dimitri. I needed that."

He smirked. "I needed it too. You're welcome."

I laughed. "Well now that we've had our release, how about some breakfast?" My stomach growled as soon as I'd said that.

He grinned. "Same old Rose. Let's get dressed and go fix breakfast."

"Okay!" I jumped out of bed the best I could, with being pregnant, and had put back on my underwear, bottoms and a sports bra.

Dimitri looked me up and down and I blushed. "Nice outfit."

I blushed more. "Thanks."

"Now I can see your stomach better," he said as he kneeled down and kissed my stomach, rubbing it slowly.

My blush was deeper. "D-Dimitri!"

He smiled up at me. "What?"

"You're making me blush, doing that."

He smirked. "I know."

My stomach growled, making him laugh again.

"You know, when you starve me..you're also starving our child."

"Oh really?"

"Yes. We're starving over here."

He grinned. "Alright. Let's go get some food."

He put back on his boxers and we went down the stairs to the kitchen for some food.

"What would you 2 like for breakfast?"

I smiled. "An omlette and sausage please!"

He smiled back. "Coming right up."

"What are you going to eat?"

"The same thing." He looked at me over his shoulder and grinned.

While he cooked the food, I'd gotten out the dishes and set the table.

"What do you want to drink?"

"Whatever you're having."

"Alright."

I grabbed the milk and poured some in both glasses. Once I'd put the milk back into the fridge, Dimitri was at the table, putting our food on plates. I smiled as he pulled out my seat for me, pushing me in.

"Thank you Dimitri. It smells and looks so good!"

"You're welcome. I hope it tastes as good as it looks," he laughed.

"I'm sure it will, you're great at cooking!"

I'd gotten one of his "rare" smiles (Not rare to me!) that had made me fall in love with him.

"So breakfast was good..You should cook all of the meals!"

Dimitri laughed. We were standing at the sink, me washing the dishes while he dried them and put them where they go.

"And then what will you do?"

"Eat the food, of course!"

We smiled at each other as I handed him a soapy plate.

"Oh, that's it? No cleaning or anything?" A smile played at his lips.

"Ohh I guess I could clean a few things. But I mean, that won't last long."

"And why not?"

"Well, once this child of yours grows more, I'll be too big to do a lot of things." I grinned.

"Oh I'm sure you could still do things."

"Like what?"

"Do laundry."

"But what if my feet swell and I can't do it anymore?"

"Then I'll have to do it," he fake sighed sadly.

I took a handfull of bubbles and blew them at him. He laughed and took some, blowing them back. About 5 minutes later we were finished with dishes and sitting on the couch.

"So what do you want to do today Rose?"

"You don't have to work today?"

"I do in the afternoon, so I guess what would you like to do this morning?"

"What do you have to do today?"

"Well since Lissa's noticeably pregnant, she's taken more sick days and I have to help Christian with some paperwork."

"Oh, that sucks."

"Well at least the 2 of you are being more cautious, with being pregnant. Especially her."

"Yeah. Imagine if everyone knew she was pregnant and people came, trying to take pictures and kill her or something."

Dimitri too ahold of my wrists. "They would never try to kill her Roza."

"But Tasha killed Adrian's aunt. Why wouldn't they try to kill Lissa for being Queen and being pregnant?"

"Because not everyone's psychotic."

You could see the pain in Dimitri's eyes from saying an old friend was crazy. I felt so bad for him. He's known Tasha for forever and know she's been sent away for killing the Queen.

"Do you ever miss her?"

"Tasha?"

"Yes."

"Sometimes. But none of that matters now. It's all in the past. I have a child to focus on now. And you, Roza," he said as he laid his hand on my stomach.

I smiled. "It's so exciting."

"I know. I can't wait to see her."

"Me either. I can't wait to see your reaction from holding her."

He smiled. "5 more months."

"It's weird, in my dreams, the little girl had said her birthday was in May. And I'm pregnant with a girl, but her birthday won't be in May."

He smirked. "Well you can't expect your whole dream to come true. Maybe we'll have another girl whose birthday will be in May."

I smiled. "Maybe. I want more children with you Dimitri."

He took my hands in his and squeezed them. "So do I. I want a big family with you."

I smirked. "No more than 3 kids. I don't think I could stand any more than that."

He laughed. "Good, I didn't want much more than that either."

I smiled and squeezed his hands. "When do you want to have a second one?"

"Maybe a little over a year after this one's born. I don't want them to be far apart from each other."

"Well maybe the third could be a few years younger than the second.."

He smiled. "Then the first 2 could have a young sibling to look after."

"I wonder how many Christian and Lissa want to have."

"I don't know. You could always ask her about that."

"Yeah. I might go over there once you leave."

"I can drop you off over there if you'd like."

I smiled. "Yeah I'd like that."

He placed his hands on each side of my stomach and leaned close to my face, his lips nearing mine. I blushed at him practically holding our child. I leaned in the rest of the way and kissed him softly. He kissed me back just as soft. Too soon we had to break off the kiss for air.

"Don't you need to start getting ready for work?"

He looked at the clock. "Crap, yes. Take a shower with me?" He looked at me hopeful.

I smiled. "Yes. I need one for the day too."

We got up off of the couch and I took his hand, leading him up the stairs to our room. We slowly took off each other's clothes and walked hand in hand into the bathroom to take our shower together. I smiled at how perfect my life was. I was with my perfect man, I was pregnated by my perfect man. My best friend was pregnant also, my mother will be moving to the court with us. God, life was just great for me right now. I wish I'd known better. Because boy, was life about to get hectic.
