Rose POV

When I woke up, I was laying in bed in my hotel room. I heard the quiet muffle of voices across the room. I turned over to see Dimitri, Lissa, and Mia standing together, speaking in hushed tones. None of them seemed to notice that I was awake, so I spoke up.

"Hey guys. Mind if I join the conversation?"

All three of them looked at me, startled, but before I could say anything, Lissa rushed over to the bed and engulfed me in a hug.

"Oh Rose! I'm so glad you are okay! When Dimitri called and said that he found you passed out in the bathroom, I didn't know what to think! What happened?"

"Panic attack." I knew that she would understand. When we were younger, I used to have panic attacks. My doctor told me that it was most likely a result in the emotion trauma that I experienced when my mother basically abandoned me at the academy so that she could work without having to take care of me. I have never met my father, so that didn't really help anything.

"I thought you stopped having those when we were 12. What happened to cause one?" She asked, clearly worried. "Did Dimitri do something that upset you?" She said, dropping her voice to a whisper. Thankfully Dimitri was still on the other side of the room with Mia.

"No. Well, maybe. It's more along the lines of something that he may not have done. Liss, I'm not on the pill. I don't remember using protection, and I don't recall seeing any used protection this morning. I panicked before I could ask Dimitri." I whispered back. "I'm not ready for a baby!"

I felt the effects of another panic attack coming on.

"Just talk to him. Maybe he will remember. If not, then we will have to wait to find out. If you do get pregnant, you are NOT alone. You have me, Mia, Christian, and all of our other friends." Lissa said, pulling me into another hug and rubbing small circles into my back. She always did that to calm me down during my panic attacks when I was younger.

"What if he leaves? What if he doesn't want to be there if I am pregnant? Lissa, I just met him-"

"Stop it. If he runs, he's going to get his ass kicked. No one messes with my best friend and gets away with it. Let's just talk to him."

"Okay." Lissa motioned for Dimitri to come over to the bed. "You don't have to stay, Liss. I'll be okay. Take Mia, and go have fun." After some persuading on my part, reluctantly, she agreed.

Once Dimitri and I were alone, he spoke.

"I canceled our reservation, and ordered room service. I figured that you would be more comfortable here." He admitted.

"Thank you. Dimitri, I have something to tell you, and a question to ask you. It's about last night." My voice was softer than I wanted it to be.

"Is this pertaining to why I found you passed out on the bathroom floor?" He asked. I nodded. He stayed quiet, so I continued.

"Did you... did we use... protection? I'm not on the pill or anything." I stammered. His face wrinkled in thought. Oh, no. That can't be good.. I can't take this silence. Please tell me that we used protection.

"Dimitri..." he looked at me, worry in his features. We didn't. I just know it by the look on his face.

"I.. I don't really remember, Rose. I'm so sorry. I don't think we did." He runs his hand through his hair. "This is all my fault. I took advantage of you, and I don't even remember if I used protection." He let out a string of words that sounded like russian. He grabbed my hands. Remorse filled his fearures. "I'm so, so very sorry, Rose. I'll do whatever I have to so that I can make this right." He pauses, so I take the time to interrupt.

"Stop apologizing, Dimitri. You did NOT take advantage of me, and you have been a complete gentleman this morning to make up for it. So, stop it." I said, slightly angry.

"Rose, if I got you pregnant, I'm going to be there for you and the baby. Even if you don't want to be with me romantically, I will be a father to our child if you let me." He was practically pleading to be allowed in our child's life, if I was pregnant. I sighed in relief. He wasn't going to leave.

"I guess we will just have to wait and see, comrade. I think it takes a few weeks for any test to register a pregnancy, so how about we just be friends until we know something?" I proposed, hoping that he was okay with that.

"If that's what you want, that is what we will do." I thought I seen a hint of disappointment on his face, but it was gone before I really had a chance to take notice of it. Just then, there was a knock at the door, and whoever was on the other side hollared "room service."

Dimitri answered the door, and tipped the guy bringing our food. Through lunch, Dimitri and I talked, getting to know one another a bit. He told me about his family, and I told him what little there is to know about mine; unknown father, absent mother, no known siblings. He, on the other hand, had a large family; mother, grandmother, 3 sisters, a niece and a nephew.

We talked about the academy where I grew up, when I met Lissa in kindergarten and how we became friends. I am quite proud to say that I threw a book at our teacher with perfect aim and called her a fascist bastard after she tried to make two kindergarteners write out their horribly long names.

He told me about the town he grew up in, Baia, and his life in Russia. He told me about his best friends, Ivan and Adrian, and how they moved to America to start a business together. Apparently, it's going really well for them.

It turned out that we both live about an hour outside of Vegas, but only about 30 minutes away from each other. That will make it easy to meet up if I do turn up pregnant. Maybe even if I don't end up pregnant.

Dimitri and I spent the rest of the day and part of that night together before we parted ways. I was leaving the next morning with Lissa and Mia to go home. I had to work on Monday, so I couldn't exactly prolong the trip.

Sunday Morning~(the morning that Lissa, Mia and Rose were leaving Vegas to go home)

Even though we had said our goodbyes last night, Dimitri met me in the lobby as we were getting ready to check out.

"Rose, I found this in my room. I didn't want you to leave it." Dimitri said, holding up my necklace. I had completely forgotten about it. My mother had given it to me on my 18th birthday, and said that my father had given it to her when she turned 18. I'm not sure why I kept it, because I'm not close to my mother, and I don't even know my father.

"Thank you. I completely forgot that I was even wearing it Friday night." I said, grabbing the necklace from him. As I did, our hands grazed one another, and the electricity that flowed through the touch shocked me. I looked up to meet Dimitri's eyes. It was evident that he felt it too.

Before I realized what I was doing, I wrapped my hands around Dimitri's neck, attempting to pull his face closer to mine. He responded instantly, crashing his lips into mine. The little spark of electricity that we felt a minute ago, easily turned into fire running through my veins. We pulled away at the same time, gasping for air.

"Your friends are waiting on you, Roza."

"I know. Will you call me?"

"Yes, I will. I promise. Now go, before I take you back to my room to keep you from leaving." He winked.

So I turned around and left the man that I had given my virginity to, could possibly be having a baby by, and just might possibly be developing feelings for. I just hope he calls like he promised he would.
