CHAPTER 8

ADRIAN'S POV

I can't believe that BITCH threatened Rose. I wouldn't have it. I have enough dirt on that old bag to make her a laughing stock. Rose pulled me out of my thoughts. "Adrian, What's wrong?

Who was that on the phone?" She asked.

I still had Rose in my arms and pulled her tight. "Little Dhampir, don't fret, it is nothing to worry yourself about." I lied while kissing her forehead.

"I don't appreciate you lying to me! I will knock you on your ass Ivashkov. Now, tell me who the HELL that was on the phone." Rose demanded.

"It was my Aunt. She requested me to be at Court for an emergency meeting tomorrow morning." I explained.

"What is the meeting to be about? When will you leave?" She asked with worry in her voice.

"She really didn't say what it would be about and unfortunately I have to leave now. I need to pack a bag and get going. My family jet is already waiting for me." I said.

I packed a quick bag and came back to the living room. I was ready to go, but I really didn't want to leave without Rose. I am pathetic. I hate to leave her even for a minute. I don't know how

I will make through the next few days. I grabbed her waist and pulled her to me.

"You need to go have some fun while I am gone. Graduation is only a week away and I know you're dying to get a dress for the after party. So, I want you to take my credit card and go shopping

with Lissa." I ordered her.

"Are you sure? You know Lissa and I can do some serious damage to your credit line! Rose laughed.

"You already blew half my trust fund, you might as well finish the rest of it. " I joked.

"Just for that I am buying two of everything, Smart ass." She stuck her tongue out at me.

"Buy whatever makes you happy and get something for the baby too! I said as I rested my hand on her stomach. "You can stay here while I'm gone if you want. If not, just lock up after you're

done talking with Lissa. She will be here soon. I'll see you in a few days and I'll call when I get there." I gently took her face into my hands and kissed her soft lips. "Be Good." I walked out the

door to face the Queens wrath.


ROSE'S POV

I wonder what that old BITCH wants with Adrian? I wouldn't doubt it if it involved me somehow. I would be willing to bet Adrian would never tell even if it was about me. He would either think it

would hurt my feelings or afraid I'd spend my life in prison for killing the old bat. Just then, I heard a knock at the door. I could sense that it was Lissa.

"Hey Liss, Come on in." I smiled at her.

"Hi Rose." Lissa replied.

I could feel through the bond that she was upset about something. I can only guess what that was. To be honest, I haven't been there for Lissa lately. We are graduating in a week and we've

hardly spent any time together. Maybe going shopping will be the perfect thing to do.

"So, What did the Doctor say?" She asked while making her way to the couch.

"Well Liss, Maybe it's best if you sit first. What I am about to tell you is something you would never except to hear from me." I said with a slight grin.

Lissa was feeling scared and confused as she reached for my hand. " Just tell me Rose."

"I am pregnant." I said while keeping my head down, not being able to make eye contact with her just yet.

Through the bond I felt so many emotions radiating from her. Shock. Worry. Confusion. Joy. She was actually happy for me. Maybe this could work out like Adrian said it would. "So, What are

you thinking?" I asked her.

"WOW, I don't know. A BABY." She hugged me. "Is Adrian happy?"

"That's the thing Liss, Yes He is happy. But, he's not the father." She looked at me in complete shock.

"Dimitri is the father." I whispered.

"It can't be. The last time you saw Dimitri he was a STRI…..NO!" She said as she brought her hand to her mouth. "Rose, Is it safe for you to carry this baby?" She asked seriously.

I proceeded to tell her the whole story about the time of conception. I believed it was the powers of SPIRIT that made it possible. I doubt that any evil could be present in my child. Since there wasn't

any present in Dimitri when he was wearing the ring and the baby was conceived. I have to believe that.

"I take it that Adrian wants to claim this child as his own?" Lissa asked as it was the obvious thing.

"He does and I have to admit I have mixed feelings about it. It doesn't seem fair to him. Also, We are only telling you the truth about the real biological father. No one can ever know. Not even Christian."

I explained.

" If this is what Adrian wants Rose then let him do it. He has changed a great deal. He would be good for the both of you. And I am definitely here for ALL of you. A baby? I am going to

be an Aunt." Lissa smiled her angelic smile.

"Yeah, I guess you are. Now can we please go get something to eat? I am freaking' starving." I laughed as we made our way to eat.


ADRIAN'S POV

As I boarded the jet I couldn't help to worry. My Aunt knew something. She would never request a face to face meeting with me unless she meant serious business. I was so tired and I figured

I could get some rest before we landed. God knows I'll need all the strength I can get. As I laid my head back and closed my eyes, I couldn't help to think how much my life has changed in the last

six months. I've went from hard partying, royal playboy to going to be a father. I smiled at the thought. Some may think it crazy, but I actually can't wait to be a father. Although biologically I am not,

it doesn't mean I can't be in every other way. And I loved Rose with every part of my being. With that thought, I drifted off to sleep.


ROSE'S POV

Lissa and I had our dinner and made our way through the last of our classes. We were finishing up our final exams. This was it. We were almost done and soon we would be off to live at Court. The thought

of Court brought Adrian to the front of my mind. I wonder if he's arrived? What did the Queen want with him?

"Rose?" Lissa asked shaking me from my thoughts of Adrian.

" Where is Adrian at today?" She questioned.

"The Queen summoned him for a meeting." I grimaced.

"Why would she do that? I don't trust the Queen's motives." Lissa admitted.

"Me neither. Adrian seemed really tense when he left. I know he's keeping something important from me. I'd rather not think about it right now. I just hope he calls soon." I sighed.

We started to walk towards the novice dormitories when I stopped Lissa.

"Hey Liss, Do you think you could "convince" Kirova into letting us escape to the mall tomorrow? I need to get a dress for the graduation party and something special to wear underneath it." I said with an

evil little grin.

Lissa laughed at me. "It's hard to believe you and Adrian never got together yet. So you think graduation night will be the night, huh?" She smiled at me.

"I hope so. I am finally ready to take the next step. We've waited long enough, I think it would be the perfect time to show him how much he means to me." I smiled at the thought.

With perfect timing the cell phone Adrian just got me was ringing.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Little Dhampir, Are you missing me yet? Adrian chuckled.

"Maybe…..Any news yet?" I laughed in return.

"No, I just landed and I am heading up to my apartment to get some sleep. I just wanted to check in on you. Are you feeling okay? " He asked.

"Yeah, just a little queasy. Nothing too serious. I am taking your advice. Lissa and I are going to go shopping tomorrow." i advised him.

"Good, I'll call you sometime tomorrow. Good night Sweetheart." Adrian said with a yawn.

"Okay, I'll talk to you later. Good night." I said and hung up the phone.

I hugged Lissa good night and we agreed to meet up at 5:00 tomorrow to go to the mall. Since it was just the two of us, I am sure we would only need Alberta to accompany us. It really shouldn't be too

much of a problem. Until tomorrow.


THIS WAS A BORING CHAPTER. HOWEVER, I HAD TO CUT IT IN HALF….SORRY : - )
