CHAPTER 9

ROSE'S POV

I woke up feeling a little queasy. I will be glad when this phase is over. Morning sickness totally sucks I thought to myself. So, I grabbed a few saltines crackers and started to make my way to the

shower. Kirova had agreed with Guardian Petrov that we could go to Missoula for shopping. I better start getting my ass in gear since I haven't washed and styled my hair and what seems like ages.

My looks have been on the back burner as of late. I was in desperate need of a little retail therapy and with Adrian's card…Well…Let the fun begin. I stood in front of the mirror and you can definitely

see the start of a small baby bump. Also, I've always had a big chest, but DAMN they were huge now. The Doctor has me at roughly 11 weeks and I should be due around December 3rd. I wish I

was 38 weeks and this would almost be over. I hurried through my shower, styled my hair, and got dressed. It was pretty late in the afternoon and I still haven't heard a word from Adrian yet. I wonder

if he had his meeting with the Queen Psycho Bitch by now. I wouldn't call him in the event he is still in the meeting. I made my way across the Quad and greeted Lissa, Alberta, and my all time

favorite, Stan Alto at the car. Lissa was with Christian. He had walked her over and was giving her a kiss good- bye.

"Hey Hot Stuff! How's it going?" I teased.

"Not much Rose, Take good care of my girl today." He smiled at me.

"What no smart ass comments today?" I asked him in a mock shocked voice.

"No, I just want you guys to come back safe." He smiled again. Damn it, Lissa told him. I am going to kick her skinny little Moroi butt. But, it will have to wait until later when we are alone.

"Hello Stan, What are you doing here? Do you need a new dress too?" I laughed out loud.

"No, Unfortunately your boyfriend called demanding you have an extra guardian with you and the princess." He snorted.

"HUH." I'll remember to kick Adrian's ass for that one later. My ass kicking schedule is filling up quite nicely thanks to Lissa and Adrian.

We loaded in the car and started on our way. I sat in the backseat with Lissa as we discussed our upcoming shopping trip. We decided on colors for our dresses. I was going to wear red and Lissa

was going to wear teal blue. We had finally arrived at the mall. Lissa grabbed my hand and sprinted towards the mall like they were giving dresses away that girl could be really quick when she wanted to

be. She was on a mission today.

" Liss, I found it." I called her towards me. It was a beautiful strapless teal blue, chiffon, empire waisted dress that stopped at the knee. It had a gorgeous silver sash at the waist. No doubt, Lissa will

be absolutely ethereal in that dress. All she needed to complete the look would be killer silver stilettos. We've always picked each others clothes, even when we were little.

"Rose, It's gorgeous. I love it." She beamed.

" I figured you would. Now go and find me one." I laughed at her.

Lissa was off on her mission again. After twenty minutes of racking diving she called out to me.

"Rose, This is the dress." she squeaked.

"Liss, Will I be able to breathe in that dress? I am certain everyone will know I am pregnant by the end of the night as tight as it is." I pointed out to her.

"Rosemarie Hathaway, When have you ever shied away from a tight dress." She teased.

"Give me the damn dress." I said as I grabbed it from her hands. I walked into the changing room. This was a beautiful wiggle dress with a mermaid hem bottom that started at the knees and ended

mid-calf. It was tight and fit me perfect. The color was red which happened to be Adrian's favorite color on me. I came out of the dressing room and Lissa was nodding like a bobble head.

"It's perfect Rose." She said.

"Let's find some shoes and go eat. I am so hungry it's ridiculous." My stomach growled.

We found our shoes and I told everyone I had one more store to go into. As I walked in Victoria Secrets, the look on Alto's face was priceless. I had to bust out laughing at him.

"When was the last time you got any Alto?" I giggled and punched his arm.

"Real classy Hathaway." He glared at me while his face was glowing red which only made me laugh harder.

"Lighten up, it's only a joke. Let's go eat lunch, my treat." I offered as I lead the way.


ADRIAN'S POV

The jet finally landed and I was in desperate need of sleep. I quickly called Rose to let her know I made it and check in to see how she was feeling. She had informed me that she was going to go

shopping and I definitely didn't want her guarding Lissa. And what I was about to do next will probably have her kicking my ass. I told her good night and hung up. But, I had to make another phone call.

"Head Mistress Kirova? This is Adrian Ivashkov. I understand that Princess Vasilisa and Rose Hathaway are due to leave the school grounds for Missoula tomorrow." I stated.

"Yes Lord Ivashkov, They are scheduled to do some shopping with Guardian Petrov." She answered.

" I would see it as a great personal favor if you could send another guardian to help keep watch over them. I would not want Miss Hathaway to be involved in any altercations whatsoever." I demanded.

"Excuse me, Lord Ivashkov, Did you say Miss Hathaway?" She acted as if she misunderstood.

"Yes Miss Kirova, I would respect your privacy on the following situation. However, Miss Hathaway and I are expecting a child and I will hold the school personally accountable if any harm should come

their way." I enforced.

"Absolutely, Consider it done." She promised.

I hung up the phone and finally made my way to bed for the evening.


The next morning I made my way to my Aunt's office. I knocked on the door and her Guardian, Nikolai lead me to her study.

"Ah, Dear Adrian, How wonderful to see you Nephew." The Queen said while air kissing both my cheeks.

"You also, Aunt Tatiana." I said kissing her back. "My I ask why you have called this meeting with me?"

"I see you are quite anxious. Would you not like to join my for some breakfast or tea first?" She asked. She was acting like a cobra gearing up to make its strike.

"No, Thank You. If you don't mind I am anxious to get back to St. Vladimirs Academy." I stated matter of factually.

"That is precisely why I called you to this meeting. I want you to put an end to this embarrassing affair you are carrying on with Rose Hathaway." She demanded as her face turned scarlet.

"DO NOT push demands towards me. You may be Queen and also my family. However, YOU must remember this is MY life that you are making demands about." I said with a low menacing voice.

"You were born into privilege and you will act as such. I will NOT tolerate your recent behavior, Adrian." She scolded.

"You're right, BORN into privilege. I didn't choose it nor do I need it. I did not ask for any of this." I screamed at her.

Her guardian Nikolai flinched and she waved him back.

"You would denounce your title and embarrass your family for this Blood Whore?" She insulted. I've had enough.

I stepped to the Queen and pointed directly in her face.

"DO NOT FUCKING CALL HER THAT AGAIN." I warned her with everything I had in me.

"So this is what you choose?" She asked.

"Remember you've started this, I did not." I reminded her.

"The future of this family is depending on you." She pleaded.

"Great, Maybe next time you will remember your place when it comes to certain things in my life. Also, Rose is completely off limits." I warned again.

"Why might that be Nephew." She questioned.

"Because Rose Hathaway is PREGNANT with my child." I said as I turned and walked out the door slamming it shut behind me.


OH SNAP! QUEEN B***H GOT TOLD. WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH HER IN THE FUTURE…KILL HER??? SEND HER TO PRISON??? LET HER APOLOGIZE????

REVIEW AND LET ME KNOW.
