Well I've been in school for 2 days now. (BOOO!). But I haven't really had any homework other than 2 easy worksheets, so I was able to finish chapter 27 :) Someone mentioned Adrian, wanting more on him and the new girl. WELL...with it brought to my attention, I'm considering starting another VA story..but about Adrian and this new girl he was seeing a little in my POV that sucked -_- I also want to do a sequel to this when I finish it, but I dunno O.o Buuut I hope you guys are somewhat enjoying school (if you've started yet). I know I sort of am. Some of my classes suck (No friends to talk to), but I'll survive! Enjoy!

"Well what do you want to do now?"

It was now noon. We'd just gotten out of prenatal yoga and was now sitting in the car. My mom was looking at me for an answer.

"Well I'm worn out so I'm thinking about going home, taking a shower and getting into bed for a nap."

"I was thinking the same thing," Lissa said agreeing with me.

My mom laughed. "Now I see why you take a lot of naps!"

"Things wear me out easy. I can't help it!"

"I know. 3 more months and it'll be over."

"But I'll still be wore out from the baby and taking care of her."

"True. But you'll have Dimitri and me to help. We can't help carry her but we can help raise her."

I smiled. "Thank you."

"Just call me when you need me!"

"I will, promise."

We pulled into the driveway and put the car in park.

"Well you guys have a nice nap. I'm just a phonecall away."

"Okay. Thanks mom!"

"Yepp. No problem. Need anything else tomorrow?"

"We could do the upstairs too?"

"Sounds good! Just text me when Dimitri leaves for work and I'll be right over!"

"Thanks!"

"Bye girls!"

"Bye!"

We got out of the car and walked up to the front door. We waved goodbye as my mom pulled out of the driveway and left for her house. I turned back around and took my key out, unlocking the front door. We immediately went to the kitchen to get a drink. I got us glasses of water and we sat down at the little table in the corner of the kitchen.

"You know, I love your kitchen."

I laughed. "Why? Yours is bigger."

"It's small and homey. As nice as it is to have all of the kitchen space for parties and stuff, I'd love a kitchen like this."

"Trade?"

She laughed. "Maybe. Dimitri should do some interior decorating in here."

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe change the counter tops, paint the doors to the cabinets, stuff like that."

"We could make it really pretty in here."

"Yeah. What colors would you guys do?"

"Well he'd tell me I could pick any colors I want like he always does, so I guess I'd want to do a pastel yellow and white."

"That'd look really nice."

"Yeah. Yellow cabinets, white marble counter tops. It'd look great. I have an image in my head now," I laughed.

"Well maybe that's something you and Dimitri could talk about after Demitra comes."

"Yeah. Once we're both working again, we could save up to do some major work on the house."

"I could come help you guys if you'd like. Christian too."

"That'd be nice, thank you," I said smiling.

"That's what sisters are for."

We smiled at each other and drank our water.

"So are we really going to take a nap like we told your mom?"

"I am. If you don't want to that's fine."

"Oh, I do. I'm wore out. And I can't think of anything else to do to pass the time while waiting for the boys to come home."

I laughed. "True. Want to sleep in that or borrow pjs?"

"Would you feel weird if I slept in my panties and bra?"

"Of course not! Whatever you're comfortable in."

"Okay that's what I'll sleep in."

"I'll probably just sleep in a t shirt and undies."

She laughed. "You mean panties?"

"Yes, undies."

She laughed harder. "Say it."

"No!"

"Why?"

"I don't like that word!"

"Alright, alright. Let's go upstairs."

We got into what we were going to wear to bed and got under the covers.

"When does Dimitri get off?"

"3 like always. What about Christian?"

"Around the same time. Sometimes later."

"Wanna stay over 'til he gets off?"

"Oh, no it's fine. Thanks though."

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay."

"What do you think would be a good name for the baby?"

"Hmm I don't know. Whatever you and Christian like best. You guys need to look through baby books and find out a name for him."

"I think he's getting mad that he doesn't have a name yet," she laughed.

"Kicking?"

"A little bit. It's not bad though."

"She kicks sometimes. Sometimes I forget she's there, then she moves," I smiled.

"When's your next appointment?"

"In a few weeks. What about yours?"

"Next week."

"Make sure you ask about your flip flop problem."

"I will mother."

I hit her arm and we laughed.

"At this rate we'll never get to sleep Liss," I laughed.

"Well then let's stop talking and go to sleep!"

"Okay, night Liss!"

"Night Rose!"

After a bit of moving and shuffling around, we both finally had gotten comfortable and fell asleep.

~ 2 Hours Later ~

I woke up, feeling strong warm arms around me and smiled. Wait, strong warm arms? What? The smile faded and a wave of fear came over me. The person must have felt me tense up, because they let go of me and I felt them sit up in the bed. I slowly sat up, my back to them. I felt their hand on my back, an equally strong and warm hand. I turned and sighed with relief when my eyes met Dimitri's warm brown eyes. He had a smile in his eyes.

"Did you think I was someone else? Expecting another man home?"

I laughed. "No, I was just confused. I fell asleep with Liss and woke up to a man's arms around me."

"I'm sorry for confusing you Roza."

I smiled. "It's fine. I'm glad you're home. Where's Lissa at?"

"Well I'd gotten off early, so when I came home you were asleep and she wasn't. She was in the living room watching tv and I told her she could stay here if she wanted to."

"Did she stay?"

"Yes. Until Christian had gotten off."

"What time is it?"

"About 3:30."

"God, I'd slept for over 3 hours."

He chuckled. "Worn out?"

"Yes. We went to another yoga session. And the cleaning wore me out. I couldn't do it like I thought I could."

"What do you mean?"

"Halfway through vacuuming the living room, my back was hurting and my ankles were swollen. I was hurting too much to finish."

"Really? Downstairs looks wonderful. Doesn't look like you were hurting too much."

"Oh, I'd called my mom and she'd done all of the kitchen and vacuuming."

"That was nice of her."

"Yeah it was. She said to call anytime we needed anything."

"I can do the cleaning."

"I know, but I'd rather you not have to stress about the house. My mother and I can take care of it."

"I can still help some."

"How about you do the laundry?"

He laughed. "Sounds good."

"So Lissa said she'd talk to your boss about getting at least a day off each week."

"Really? Did you tell her too?"

"Oh, no. She was just asking about us and I'd told her about how we don't have time to talk about things and she said she'd talk to your boss."

"That was nice of her."

"Yeah. I really hope they agree to it. I miss you. We have a lot to talk about that we don't get to talk about."

"Like what?"

"Baby stuff. What we're going to do once she's born."

"What do you want to do when she's born?"

"Well I was hoping that maybe you'd take like 6 weeks off of work to help me then I could work for a little bit while you're at home with her."

"Sounds fair. I know it has to be killing you, not able to work or do much."

"It is. I'm so bored. Hey, did you talk to your boss about we working there?"

"Yes. They won't need help for another month or 2. Do you think at 8 months you'll be fine enough to work?"

"Yeah. I mean it'll just be desk work. Not a lot of walking. I should be fine."

"Just don't take a lot of hours okay?"

"I won't. I'll take about 5 hours a day or every other day."

"Just don't over work yourself."

"I won't, I won't. I promise."

"I know, I'm just worried about you and her."

I smiled. "We'll be fine."

He smiled back. "Good."

"So what do you want to do for the rest of the day?"

"Well I could always take my gorgeous wife out to a lovely dinner.."

I smiled and blushed a little. "Really?"

"Really!"

"But I don't really have anything nice that fits.."

"Oh I'm sure you do Roza!"

He got up from the bed and walked over to the closet, opening it. He rummaged through my clothes, looking for something. After a minute, he pulled out a blouse and some of my stretchy leggins.

"Here, wear the nice red blouse, some stretchy black leggins and some boots."

I smiled. "Thank you Dimitri."

"You're welcome. I told you you had something nice to wear!"

"Is it real cold outside?"

"A little bit. I'll grab our winter coats."

"In November?"

"It's pretty cold. I don't want us to freeze."

"It's not too cold for leggins?"'

"As long as you have a coat and boots, no."

"Okay, good. Thought you might be plotting that my legs would freeze."

He laughed. "No I don't want you to freeze."

"So what are you going to wear?"

"Nice pants and a button down shirt."

"Cute. What restaurant do you have in mind?"

"Maybe Olive Garden."

I smiled. "Really?"

"Yes. But we need to hurry before they get real busy."

"Okay," I said as I pulled off my t shirt I'd slept in and changed into what he picked out.

Dimitri picked out some clothes for himself and got ready with me. While I swept on a little makeup, he was starting the car ahead of time so it'd be warm when we got in to leave.

"You look stunning."

I was finishing up my makeup and turned around to Dimitri in the doorway, leaning against the wall.

"You don't look so bad yourself."

He smiled. "Compared to you, I'm alright. Nothing special."

"That's a load of bull."

He chuckled. "Pregnancy's beautiful on you, Rose. A beautiful face, a beautiful body and a beautiful pregnant stomach."

I blushed. "You think so?"

"I know so."

He walked over to me and wrapped his arms around my abdomen, running his hands along my womb. He kissed the top of my head.

"I love you," he murmered in my ear.

"I love you too."

I turned around and he leaned down, kissing me softly on the lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and deepened the kiss.

"We can finish this later," he said against my lips.

I smiled and let go. "Okay. Let's go."

We left the house, locking it, and sat in the car.

"So where would you like to go?"

"It doesn't matter to me, you pick." I smiled.

He smiled back at me and started the car, backing out of the driveway.

"Where are we going?"

He grinned. "You'll see."

"Really?"

"Really. It's a surprise."

I sighed. "Okay. No hints?"

"Nope. None at all."

"Not even what direction it's in?"

"Nope. It's a secret."

I leaned back in my seat and looked out the window, trying to figure out where he would be taking me. There's so many places in the Court, it's hard telling. And it's Dimitri. He never fails at surprising me. I was still looking out the window, lost in my thoughts.

"We're here Rose."

I snapped out of my thoughts and looked through the windshield. And holy shit. This place is SO expensive. CAN WE AFFORD IT?! (Can't think of a name and all of that, soo I'm skipping dinner lol).

~ After Dinner ~

"God, I'm stuffed. Thank you Dimitri."

He smiled. "You're welcome. We never go out, so I figured we should and I'd take you somewhere nice."

"Well it was great, I loved it."

"And yes, we could afford it."

I laughed. "How'd you know I was thinking about that?"

"The look on your face when you saw where we were eating," he smirked.

"Well it's expensive!"

"I know. We're the Queen and King's guardians. Not to mention, you're her best friend. We get a biiiig discount. No big deal."

"As long as we'll be okay.."

"We will be. Don't worry."

I smiled. "Okay."

He drove us home, neither of us saying a whole lot on the way home. Just how good the food was and how nice the night was. He pulled into the driveway and we got out. As soon as the door was unlocked, we were upstairs, changing into our pjs.

"So are you still up for finishing earlier? Or are you hurting right now?"

"I feel fine. Are you still wanting to?"

"Yes."

"We can, just be easy on me. I don't want to hurt her."

We both laughed. "I won't hurt her."

"Good. This'll probably be our last time for the next 4 months."

"4 months?"

"Yes. After birth I need to rest and heal."

"Well that sucks."

I laughed. "You'll live. You had to refrain from messing around with me back at the academy. You can handle it."

He smiled. "True."

We got into bed, getting snug under the covers. We kissed, turning this good night into a great night.

Please review :)
