So sorry for not updating for a while. I've been bummed about school starting this Monday. So I've been in a bleh mood the past 2 weeks. This will probably be my last update for about 2 weeks, maybe less. I want to give myself some time to get settled into school and the whole routine. But I promise I'll have the next chapter up by the begining of September. But if something does come up, getting in the way of writing the new chapter, promise I'll put up an AN and Tweet about it. Please follow me for more access to me! Link's on my profile! Enjoy!
So how was yours and Lissa's prenatal yoga class?"
Dimitri and I were sitting at the table in the dining room, eating dinner. Liss and I finished Billy Madison then halfway through The Vow, Dimitri was home. Being the kind of guy he is, he agreed to watch the rest of it with us.
"Oh, it wasn't too bad. It was a great workout. I'm feeling more relaxed."
"That's good. How often are the classes?"
"They're daily. You can go whenever you're free."
"Maybe 1 day I could come along and help."
I smiled. "That'd be great, Dimitri. Thank you."
He smiled back at me. "You're welcome Roza. I wouldn't want to miss seeing you in spandex, anyways."
I laughed. "You are such a guy!"
He grinned from ear to ear. "I know."
"Think you could talk Christian into going with too?"
"Yes. But I'm sure he'd go anyways for Lissa. I probably won't need to talk to him about it."
"True. You'll need something comfortable to wear when we go."
"They're going to make the husbands do yoga too?"
"Somewhat. But mostly help us preggo women."
He laughed. "What kind of help?"
"Well when we're laying on our backs, the guys bend their legs and help pull our hamstrings and stuff."
"Is it hard for you to do things yet?"
"Not quite yet. I don't have that big of a belly. But my mom thinks I'll grow big in the next 2 months like she did with me."
"That sucks. You won't have a cute baby belly for long."
"Sucks for you. I'm glad. All of that weight'll hurt my ankles and feet."
"True.."
"Why'd you do this to me?"
He laughed. "Do what?"
"Get me pregnant and gain all of this weight."
"Ohhh that wasn't all me.."
I leaned over the table and smacked his arm. He smirked when I missed.
"It was so all you."
"It was not."
"It was your grandmother who gave us the herbs."
"But you didn't object."
I sighed. He'd gotten me. "Still."
"Still nothing Roza."
I wanted to smack the smirk off of his face.
"Go lay down while I clean up the kitchen Roza."
I scoffed. "Just because I'm pregnant, doesn't mean I can't do things!"
"I know. I just want you to relax and be comfortable.."
"I'm sorry I snapped at you.. I just hate being worthless."
"You're not worthless Roza.."
"I am. I sit at home all day, everyday. I hardly do anything and I'm always bored. I take about 3 naps a day."
"Even with Lissa here?"
"Even with her here. She takes naps with me or watches tv while I'm asleep."
"Do you want me to see if there's an office job or something for you to do?"
"Please..I'm so bored in the house Dimitri."
"Alright. Tomorrow at work I'll ask around."
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
"Do you think they'll let a 6 months pregnant woman work though?"
"They should. I mean, all you'd be doing is sitting 90 percent of the time. I don't see why not."
"Would I be near you?"
"Sometimes. With you being pregnant, they try to keep me near or inside the Court just in case something happens to you."
"What if you're away from the Court and I need you?"
"I'm always just a phone call away. I questioned them with this possible problem, and they said there would always be a SUV for me to drive back to the Court."
"Sorry for all of the questions. I just want to be sure."
"I know Roza. It's fine." He wrapped his arms around me tightly. "You have nothing to worry about. Everything will be fine."
"How can you be so sure?"
"There's a lot of guardians in the Court. They will protect you like you're a Moroi."
"And they're all okay with that?"
"Yes. You're a famous guardian, not to mention the daughter of Janine Hathaway. I'm sure there's a lot of people who'd like to ruin your chances of a good life."
I laughed. "Yeah there probably is."
"Now go lay down while I do the dishes."
"Alright," I said in defeat.
~ 2 Hours Later ~
"Dimitri?"
We were now laying in bed, getting ready to go to bed. While he was as comfortable as can be, my pregnant ass was tossing and turning, trying to find a comfortable position without squishing the little one. At this point I was ready to give up on sleep and go downstairs to watch tv.
"Yes?" There was a hint of sleep in his voice.
"Do you think it'd hurt the baby if we...you know..." I was so glad it was dark. Dimitri couldn't see my blush.
"I don't know what. Tell me?" I could hear the smirk in his voice.
"You know what I mean...fool around a little"
He laughed softly. "I don't know Roza."
"Can we try?"
"What if the baby gets hurt?"
I sighed. "I don't know. What if we're careful?"
"I dont' know if I can be careful.."
I smacked him. "Seriously!"
He grinned. "I have to work in the morning Rose. How about tomorrow night?"
"I want to do it now. I can't sleep."
"Uncomfortable?"
"A little."
He sat up in bed then stood up.
"Where are you going?"
"Getting you a heating blanket."
"What's that going to do?"
"Soothes pain in your back. It should help."
"Are you sure it'll help?"
He laughed. "Roza, I've lived with 3 pregnant women since I was little. I know a thing or two."
I smiled. "Just making sure."
He walked out of the room and down the hall. I sat up in bed, waiting patiently for him to come back. A minute later he came back in the room with a big baby blue blanket in his hand.
"Get up real quick so I can lay it where you're going to lay please."
I got up and he layed the blanket on the bed, flattening it. He plugged it into the wall and turned it on medium.
"Lay down and tell me if that's too hot for you."
I layed down and gave him a thumbs up.
"Can you turn the A/C on though? I don't want to get really hot in the middle of the night."
"Why don't I turn the blanket on low instead?"
"No, medium feels great. Turn the A/C on please."
"Alright," he said as he walked over to the A/C and turned it on high.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Dimitri got back into bed and got under the covers.
"Goodnight Dimitri."
"Goodnight Rose."
"I love you."
"I love you too. Sleep well."
"You too."
I could tell Dimitri was getting a little tired of me complaining and wanting things a different way. Part of me felt bad, but the other side didn't. He doesn't understand what it's like to be pregnant and have all of these problems.
~ The Next Morning ~
"Goodmorning."
I could hardly sleep, so I'd spent most of the night watching tv in the living room and straightening things up. Once it was 6, the time Dimitri usually wakes up, I had coffee ready for him and started fixing breakfast.
"Goodmorning Rose. You didn't have to get up early and do this for me."
"Oh, I actually could barely sleep, so I was up most of the night watching tv and straightening things up."
"You should've woken me up."
"It's fine. You have to work. I didn't want you to be up all night with me and be tired today."
"Wake me up next time, please?"
"But what about work and being tired?"
"I'll be fine. Trust me."
"Okay. I'll wake you up next time."
"Thank you. What're you making for breakfast?"
"I was thinking some scrambled eggs, toast and sausage."
"Sounds good. Want some help?"
"Sure. You can cook the sausage while I cook the eggs."
"Alright."
He went to the fridge and got out the sausage and got out a skillet.
"So what're you going to be doing today?" He said while he was cooking the sausage.
"Oh, probably just going to do some cleaning and hang out with Lissa."
"What about prenatal yoga?"
"Maybe. Depends on how much there is to clean and the times."
"What're the times?"
"I'm not sure. I know there's one from 11-12. The one we'd gone to."
"Maybe you could take a break from cleaning and go to that one and come back and finish cleaning?"
"That sounds good. I'll have to ask Liss about that."
"Don't work yourself too much cleaning please. I don't want you hurting yourself."
"I won't, don't worry."
"I always worry about you. I can't help it."
I smiled. "Really?"
"Really. Even when you weren't pregnant, I was worried about you. I don't want anything bad happening to you."
"I worry about you too. I don't want anything happening to you."
"When would something happen to me?"
"Well at work. One day a guardian could knock on the door and tell me you've died. Or that Strigoi took you again."
I choked up at the end. Damnit. Dimitri came over to me and hugged me tightly.
"Nothing's going to happen to me. I promise. I'm always careful."
"Still. It could happen again."
"Don't worry yourself like this. It's not healthy for the baby. Just relax. Nothing's going to happen to me."
"Oh no!"
We both looked over at the stove at the burnt food. I groaned.
"Oh shit. I'm sorry Rose."
"It's not just your fault. We both didn't watch the food," I laughed.
"How about I go get us some donuts?"
I smiled. "That'd be great."
"Alright. Be back soon!"
He kissed me goodbye and left to get the donuts. I sat down on the couch, waiting for him. A minute later my phone chimed from a text message.
Are you awake?
Lissa.
Yes. Could hardly sleep what about you?
I slept okay. Can I come over soon?
Yes Dimitri went to get donuts then he'll be leaving at 7. Are you okay?
Yes. Christian left a little bit ago and I'm feeling lonely.
Want to come over now?
No, it's fine.
I can tell Dimitri to get more donuts so you can have some too?
No, but thank you.
Text me when you'll be on your way here.
Ok.
I set my phone down on the table, thinking to myself. I really hope Lissa's okay. I wish she would've agreed to coming over right now. I'll have to get it out of her later..
"I'd gotten a dozen chocolate donuts for us Roza. You're favorite!"
I looked up quickly, almost peeing myself. I didn't even hear him unlock the door and open it.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes. I was thinking and didn't hear you come in. You scared me."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"It's fine. Ready to eat?"
"Yes," he said as he carried the donuts to the kitchen.
I followed him in and we sat down at the table with the donuts and pot of coffee. We both took a mug of coffee and 2 donuts.
"So what were you thinking about when I'd came in?"
"Oh, Lissa said she was lonely but didn't want to come over until you left. I was hoping that she was okay."
"Where's Christian at?"
"She said he'd already left for work a while ago. She said she was lonely."
"She should've came over here with us."
"I know. I'd told her it was fine if she did but she refused and said she'd wait until you left for work."
"Maybe she has to tell you something she only wants you to know and not me."
"You mean girl stuff?"
"Yes."
"Maybe. But I don't know what it'd be."
"Guess you'll have to ask her about it later."
"Hopefully she'll tell me."
"She should."
~ Half An Hour Later ~
"Well I'll be off around 3. I'll see you then."
"Okay. I love you."
"I love you too."
We kissed and he left, me locking the door behind him. I went to get my phone and called Lissa.
"Hey Rose."
"Hey. Are you still coming over? Dimitri just left."
"Yeah, I'm getting dressed now."
"Alright. I'll see you then. The door will be unlocked for you."
"Okay, thanks."
"You're welcome. Bye."
"Bye."
I hung up and looked around the house, finding something to start on. Maybe I could vacuum all of this carpet. It's been a while. I grabbed the vacuum from the closet and plugged it in, starting my hours of cleaning. Yikes.
Please review!
