Well I have some bad news for you guys :/ Chapter 35 is going to be the last chapter! :'( I know, I'm just as sad as you. I really enjoy writing this story! As soon as I finish this one, I'm going to have to think up a new one and get on to it :) I'm probably going to have Chapter 35 longer than these have been. Like these have been in the 2 thousands, and Chapter 35 will probably be in the 4 thousands I'm hoping. I'm not sure yet. But if I do write another story, I won't be starting it until Homecoming's out of the way. And Homecoming for me is from October 9th to the 13th. Homecoming week then the dance is on the night of the 13th! But I will try and get another story out there soon. Follow me on Twitter (Link on profile) or press "Follow Author" on here so it'll update your email inbox when I post a new story :) Have a lovely day/night!

My imagination seems soft compared to the real thing. I'm a 10 and ready to push this baby out of me. The doctor and nurses are telling me to relax and breathe but honestly, how in the hell do you relax when you know that you have to push a freaking BABY out of yourself?! I had Dimitri to my left, holding my left hand, and Lissa holding my right hand. Dimitri was leaning down near my ear, trying to get me to relax. My grip on his hand tightened.

"How am I supposed to be calm when I have to push a baby out?!" I hissed through clenched teeth.

He kissed the place on my neck below my ear. "Calm down. You're going to stress the baby out."

After hearing him tell me that, I immediately calmed down. I don't know if it's true because the doctor didn't mention that, but I still calmed myself down. I didn't release my death grip, but I calmed down some. My mom was near the doctor. She couldn't completely see me down there, but she could still see her first grandchild being born. She was silent this whole time, but her being here for me helped without her saying anything to me. Of everything to happen to me in my life, this is something I want her to be here for. Forget my childhood, I want her here for my child's life.

The doctor brought me back to reality. "Alright Rose, it's time to push. Are you ready?"

"I think so," I said nervously.

"Deep breaths. Push with all of your might when I say push. Got it?"

"Got it. Wait, Lissa are you fine with me squeezing your hand or do you want me to let go?"

"I don't mind, Rose. Just focus on delivering your baby," she smiled.

"Okay," I smiled back.

"Okay Rose. Deep breath."

I breathed in as much air as I could and held it in.

"Now push."

I pushed all of the air I breathed in into my push. I focused on pushing the baby out and pushed with all of my might.

"Good, Rose. Another big push."

I breathed deeply and gave another big push, feeling my face turn hot and red.

"Good job Rose," I heard Dimitri murmur to me.

"One more big push Rose."

I breathed deeply and pushed again.

"Come on Rose, bigger. I know you can do it. It's the last one."

I pushed even harder, feeling like my head would explode. About 5 seconds later, you could hear a baby crying. Mine and Dimitri's baby girl. I smiled and fell back, trying to catch my breath.

"Would you like to hold her, Rose?" I heard the doctor ask me.

"Ye-e-e-s," I said as I slowly fell asleep from exhaustion.

~ 2 Hours Later ~

I woke up in a completely different room. I was confused, but then my instincts kicked in and I sat up in bed quickly. The movement hurt from the stomach down, so I laid back down. I realized Dimitri was sitting next to me, but he was asleep in the chair he was sitting in. I thought about waking him up so I could know what happened, but then I took a look at how peaceful he was when he was asleep. I smiled and tried to relax. I remember giving birth, but then the rest was blank. Did I fall asleep? Or are the drugs keeping me from thinking clearly? I heard someone walking in the hall outside of my room and then a woman walked into the room, startled that I was awake.

"Oh! Good morning, Rose. Good to see you awake!"

"How long was I asleep?"

"I'm not completely sure, but I know it was quite a while. You were asleep when they brought you in."

"Brought me in?"

"Yes. They brought you here after you gave birth to your daughter."

"When did I fall asleep?"

"I think they said after birth. You were really tired."

"Where's my baby?"

"Down the hall with the other babies. Would you like to see here? Right now you can't hold her, but you can stand in the window and look at her."

"Yes, please."

"Alright, let's get you going. How much pain are you in?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you in too much pain to walk?"

"I don't know."

"Let's try. Hold on to my arm and try to walk."

"Okay," I said as I got off the bed and on to my feet.

I was a little wobbly, but I could manage.

"It's not too bad. I can walk."

"Alright, let's go see your baby! Do you want to wake up your husband?"

"Oh, no. It's fine. I'll let him sleep."

"Okay," she smiled as we left the room.

My room wasn't too far from the baby area. We reached the window and I stood in amazement, looking at all of the babies.

"Which one is Demitra?"

"Who?"

"Oh, Demitra's the name I'm giving my daughter."

"Oh! She's right there. Third row, only one with a pink blanket."

I looked in the direction she was pointing and there was my baby girl. I immediately knew it was her. She already had hair, my curly dark brown hair, and her eyes were open, Dimitri's beautiful brown eyes. I was in awe of her.

"She's so beautiful," I whispered.

The nurse smiled at me. "She is."

"When can I see her?"

"In a few hours she should be ready. We'll wheel her into your room and you and your husband can spend some time with her."

"How long?"

"Until you're ready for bed. Or when she falls asleep."

"Can I put her to sleep?"

"Of course!"

I smiled and kept staring at her. I felt strong arms wrap around me from behind. I stiffened, but then relaxed when I heard Dimitri's voice in my ear.

"Beautiful, isn't she?"

I nodded. "Very."

"Just like her mom."

I smiled and turned around to look at him.

"When did you wake up?"

"Probably like a minute after you left. I worried when I didn't see you in bed, but then I figured you'd be down here to see her."

"Have you seen her already?"

"Not since she was born. I saw her briefly before they took her away to clean her off and send her to the hospital."

I leaned back against him. His arms tightened around me.

"I'm ready to take her home," I whispered.

"Me too. More friendly help and privacy."

"More friendly help? Are the nurses rude to you?"

"Not completely. I just mean family's more compassionate than strangers are."

"Oh I know what you mean. When's all of your family going to be here?"

"Tomorrow morning. Mom insisted that she get the house ready for us."

I smiled. "I've missed her."

"I've missed her too."

"Do you think they would move here"?

"No, but it'd be nice if they did. It gives us a reason to leave the country though." I could hear the grin in his voice.

I grinned too. "Very true. I'd love to go to Russia again. And not on such serious terms."

He stiffened. Crap. I shouldn't have brought up him being a Strigoi. I tried changing the subject.

"So we get to see her in a few hours."

"That's good. I can't wait. Are you hungry?"

"A little."

"I'll take you back to the room then I'll run downstairs to the cafe and get you some food."

"Okay."

He took my hand in his and we walked back to my room. He helped me back into bed and kissed me on the forehead.

"I'll be back soon."

"Okay. Don't take too long."

He smiled. "I won't."

He left and I was immediately bored. Everyone was at home, so I had no one to talk to besides Dimitri and the hospital staff. I really hope these 2 hours go by quickly. I want to see Demitra. Soon a nurse came into the room and smiled.

"Hello! I'm Audrey. I'm going to be one of your nurses for a while. Would you like to see your baby? She's ready earlier than we thought."

"Yes, but can we wait until my husband comes back? He wants to see her too."

"Of course! I'll wait with you for him then I'll bring her down."

"Thank you!"

"Of course! So is there any problems? Anything you need?"

"No, thank you. Everything's fine."

"Good. Don't hesitate to press the nurse button when you need something."

"I won't. Thanks."

Minutes passed before Dimitri came back. He looked confused when he came in and saw Audrey in his chair.

"Oh, Mr. Belikov! Turns out your daughter's finished early. Rose wants to see her. Fine with you?"

"Of course."

"Good!" She said as she quickly left the room.

Dimitri looked over at me. "Nervous?"

"A little. But I can't wait to see her."

"Me either. And hold her."

"Do you want to hold her first?"

"No, you can. Take as much time as you want with her. I don't mind it. You deserve it," he laughed.

I smiled. "True. I did have to pop her out."

He smirked. While we waited for Audrey to bring her back, we ate a little bit of the food he brought up. An idea came to my mind and I quickly pressed the nurse button.

"What are you doing?"

"I thought of something."

Soon another nurse came into the room. A male one this time.

"Hello, I'm Blake. What's the problem?"

"I was wondering if you could, I don't know, somehow keep my family from coming into my room for a while."

He looked at me confused. "Why would you want your family to stay away?"

"Oh, I just want some privacy with my husband and daughter! They can come later, I just want to spend time alone with them."

"Oh, okay. Can you give me pictures of them so I know what they look like to stop them."

"Oh, of course! Dimitri, can you hand me my purse?"

He got out of his chair and grabbed my purse, handing it to me.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

I quickly dug for my wallet and produced a picture of my mom, Lissa and Christian.

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Thank you for agreeing to keeping them away."

He laughed. "Not a problem."

He left and I smiled over at Dimitri. He smiled back at me.

"Wait, when do we get to name her?"

He smiled. "Whenever. Would you like to do it while we have her and the nurse in here?"

"Please."

"Okay, I'll go tell her."

He left me again to go hunt down Audrey. I pulled out my cell phone from my purse and looked at it. There was 5 calls, 7 text messages and 3 voice mails. Who in the hell wanted to get a hold of me that badly? First I looked at the text messages. The first was a "Congratulations!" from Lissa and Christian, the second and third were from Viktoria, telling me congrats and how excited she is for me and Dimka. I chuckled. The fourth was from Abe, congratulating me and saying how proud he was and how he would visit his grand baby soon. I smiled. The fifth and sixth were from my mom, telling me how proud she was then when she would be over to see the baby. The last one was from Adrian. A surprise. It said "Congratulations," but I'm glad he'd decided to text me. I wonder when he'd left the secretary building..I went to my calls and 3 of them had a European caller ID. Must be from the in-laws and/or Abe. I smiled. The last 2 were from Lissa and my mom. Everything was from 2 hours ago. They must have wanted to see if I was awake and doing well. I went to the voice mail and listened to it. It was all of the Belikov's, telling me congratulations, how they missed us and how they'd be over soon to see us. Their voice mail put the biggest grin on my face.

"What're you smiling about?"

Dimitri was back in the room. I smiled at him.

"Come listen to this voice mail."

He came over and I put the phone to his ear. He smiled.

"You miss them a lot, don't you?"

"Very much. But I have my own family here. I'm fine with being here."

I smiled and hugged him tightly. He hugged me back, rubbing my back with one of his hands.

"We'll have to visit soon."

He smiled. "Really soon."

"As soon as she can go on planes and stuff?"

He grinned like a little boy. "Yes."

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in!"

Audrey's head popped in. I smiled at her as she smiled at me.

"Are you ready to see your adorable baby and name her?"

I grinned. "Yes!"

After I answered, she opened the door all of the way and pushed in a thing that almost looked like a plastic drawer hooked on to bars with wheels. I smiled as I saw a pink blanket. She pushed it into the middle of the room, in front of my bed.

"And here's your baby! Time to name her!"

Please Review! :)
