It should be obvious of what happened. But just keep reading to find out, I promise it gets better!


Doctor Visit

"Are you sure?" I asked the doctor for the thousandth time. "Like are you really sure?"

"Yeah, all the tests say so," the doctor says as he looks at my worried face. "I'm sorry, but it'll all be okay. Just get some more rest than normal." Dimitri squeezes my hand as I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack. How could this be happening, and now of all time? How would I tell everyone? What will people think about this? I felt like I was dying. This is just too much.

"Come on Rose," Dimitri said while pulling me up from the chair. "We're about to be late for guardian duty." As we walked away from the doctor's office, it all hit me. I'm not ready for any of this. I should of had more time before this happened. Why me? Dimitri kissed me, soothing away my worry while we walked to the wall. We were actually on duty together today, which gave me a lot of time to talk to him about this. He hasn't even said what he thought, which really freaked me out. Would he leave me, or help me? Gosh there were so many questions that needed answered. "Roza, I love you, you know that right?" he asked like he was reading my mind.

"Yeah, I know. And I love you." I kiss him as hard as I can, bringing us closer together as we reached the spot that we'd be watching.

"You know you have to watch your surroundings, not each other," I hear a voice say in front of us.

As Dimitri pulls away, I just smile and say, "I know that, I was just giving him a preview for tonight," I say to Eddie as I wink at Dimitri.

"Whatever, I did not want to hear that Rose. Gosh. It's about time that your here though, 'cause I'm tired. So see y'all later. And remember to keep guard, no more making out. You're on duty now." He smiled and shook his head as he walked away.

"He's such a dork," I mumble.

"You should be talking!" Dimitri teased as he grabs my hand and we walked around, watching our surroundings. Knowing that I didn't want to talk about the doctor's visit, but needing to, he just kept quiet for the moment. I know the news shocked him as much as it did to me, it had to, but he never showed it, or I just hadn't seen it. But I was still way shaken up about it. I tried taking my mind off of the subject, but the only way to do that is kissing Dimitri, but we were on duty right now, so that defiantly wasn't going to happen. So I did what I normally did while on duty, just stare around until I saw movement.

"I know you don't want to hear this right now," Dimitri says, bringing me out of my thoughts. "But I just have to say it. Maybe it's a good thing this happened." I look up at him like he's crazy, and was about to say something as he went on, still not looking at me. "We could do something that we wanted to do but just haven't yet. Maybe it's a wakeup call." He finally looks at me, smiling and squeezing my hand a bit. "You never know."

I know I should of said something, anything, but I was speechless. He was actually going to go through with this with me! So I just smiled and said 'Maybe'.

After what could possibly be the worst guardian duty ever, with me not being able to concentrate, we walked to meet up with Lissa at her place. I was nervous as hell. How was I going to break the news to her? I could hardly believe it. I know I had to tell her now, before she found out later and got mad that I never told her. I just had no idea what to say, which is the first, 'cause usually I always have something to say.

As we got closer to her room though, I started slowing down. Dimitri noticed and as he turned to me, I felt a little better, just looking into his gorgeous brown eyes always helps. I picked my pace back up, hugging close to Dimitri so I don't chicken out. It's weird that if I had to face a pack of Strigoi, I'd jump at the chance, but tell my best friend some news that would freak her out, count me out. But Dmitri knocked on the door before I could turn and run.

Wishing that I had, Lissa opens the door and lets us in. She looks at me as I smile slightly at her, hoping that she doesn't notice that I'm sweating. But she doesn't say a thing as she walks ahead of us and makes us all a glass of tea, which always lightens my mood.

Dimitri and I sit on the couch next to Christian watching MTV. He looks at me and laughs, "Gosh, what's wrong with you Rose?"

"She got sick last night," Dimitri explains. "So she's not really feeling well." I look at him as he winks at me, knowing that right now isn't the right moment to tell them, not yet.

"Oh my gosh," Lissa says as she rushes over and brings us our tea. "Are you okay? I could heal you if you want."

"No," I say quickly. I didn't want her to use anymore spirit than she has to. "I'm fine now," I say even though I feel like I'm sweating to death, but knowing that it's because I'm nervous. I look at Lissa, knowing that she doesn't believe me, but not pushing me any further. So I just take my cup of tea and sip it, making me feel a little better.

As we watch MTV a while, making jokes about the TOSH.O that's on, I feel more and more relaxed. Dimitri looks at me and whispers in my ear that we have to tell them soon, before it's to late. So as I'm about to tell them, the front door opens as Adrian and Jill come in, holding hands. Oh. My. God. I look at Jill, seeing her get bright red. It shouldn't matter to me, but I don't know if Adrian's doing it to try to make me jealous, or if he might actually like Jill. I look back up at Dimitri, meeting his eyes with a worried look. "He'll need to know too," he whispered to me as Adrian and Jill plop down on the couch together.

When the TV goes to a commercial, I reach for the controller in Christian's hand and mute the TV. "Um, guys," I say softly, hoping they all heard me. When they turn their attention to me, I continue. "I really have some news to tell all of y'all that I found out this morning."

"What, did you finally realize you need to go to therapy to get some serious help with your attitude?" Christian laughs.

"Well as some of you know, I got sick last night," I continue like Christian never said a word. "And Dimitri and I went to the doctor this morning. And, well, um..." I want to tell them so bad, but I just don't know how. Dimitri squeezes my hand, giving me encouragement. "Well..," I start again, just as the door opens again, with my mom and Abe walking in.

"We got a text to come right over," my mom pants from probably running all the way here.

"I texted them," Dimitri whispers in my ear as I got wide eyed. "They need to know too." Speaking louder, Dimitri says, "Yeah, Rose has something to tell everyone."

"Is everything okay honey? Are you still sick?"

"I'm fine mom. If you'll just sit down, I'm about to tell everyone." She looks at me worriedly as she takes a seat. "Well, as I was saying," I say, once again nervous. "I got sick last night and we went to the doctor this morning and we got some news that's really shocking. I'm, well I'm.. um."

"Spit it out already Rose," Christian said. "I'm getting old here." Lissa glares at him, making him shut up as I try to continue.

"Okay. Well, the doctor told me that I..., I'm pregnant!"


Ta Da! Surprise! Well it's not really much of a surprise. But it's just one of many 'turning points'.
