First of all, I would like to thank Kure-ji Faia, K8ella, unnz4, KittyKat, Dimka's chick, loveyy10, lovedimitri, piper-tolkien, and gracefish 21 for your awesome reviews on the first 2 chapters.
Well, since it is my birthday and I can do what the fuck I want, here is another chapter! Once again, I would like to say I don't own VA!
I, Dimitri Belikov, want to marry that insatiable, wonderful woman…to make her mine and show her I will never leave her again and that I could never love anyone remotely close to how I worship her.
Chapter 3
LPOV
I was so scared for Rose, especially since she had just confirmed what Adrian and I had already known….Rose is pregnant. How, we still aren't sure. She is convinced that it is Dimitri's, but they are both dhampirs. Then it hit me…..she is shadow-kissed! That might have something to do with it! Before Dimitri had a chance to see it, I ran over and picked up the pregnancy test from the floor and slipped it in my pocket. I forgot about it while I watched him try to wake her up lovingly. Dimitri and I had already talked about the whole Rose issue. I knew he was still in love with her, but I didn't want to push her into taking him back until she was ready.
For a while, Rose wouldn't even come out of her room when he left. While hidden away from everyone, she had made several attempts at suicide. She slit her wrists, got ahold of some pills and overdosed on them, and had even managed to get ahold of enough liquor to put herself in a coma. Luckily, though the bond was still one way, I had sensed something was beyond wrong and managed to get to her in time with the cutting and the pills and was able to heal her before even she had realized what she had done. With the alcohol issues, she stayed in the infirmary. She doesn't remember most of what really happened, and I am not about to bring it up at all. She finally has gotten over that level of depression and we are all afraid that if it is brought up again, it might set her off again to do the same reckless behavior. Right now, that is the last thing she needs…since she is pregnant.
When we left, Dimitri followed me all the way to the entrance of my room. I didn't feel it was in my place to tell him anything and I figure that if Rose wants him to know anything, she could tell him herself. Not only that, but I didn't want him to beat himself up any more than he already has. I am sure that all this new information that Rose yelled at him was more than enough to start making him wonder if him coming back is really a good idea. They belong together and as soon as Rose gets her damn head out of her ass, they are going to have a great life together. I just know it.

I don't know how long I laid there after they left. All I could think about is that Dimitri just told me he loved me and I yelled at him for it. Once they had left and I had time to process everything, I felt bad. What I should have done is kissed him and tell him that I love him too. His damn aftershave is permanently embedded in my fucking head and now even my sheets smell like him. How am I going to tell him about the baby? I am sure that he would think it was Adrian's or some other Moroi's. He is the only one I slept with and it was only that one time. I don't want him to feel trapped or obligated in any way to be here for our child…maybe I will just find a way to escape and never look back. I don't even know what they are going to do to me. I need to talk to my dad. Yes, I admit I need my daddy. It still sounds strange to me. My mom is going to kill Dimitri. I feel bad for him.
Here goes nothing. Time to start telling people. "Excuse me," I yelled out to get a guard's attention. A guardian that I didn't recognize came over to my cell. "Can you please get Abe for me? I have something very important to discuss with him." With that, he assured me he would get in contact with him and walked away. A few minutes later, Abe came in with his own guardians, whom he left down the hall a little ways. He opened the cell and came over to sit beside me on the cot. "What is it, Kiz? You said you needed to talk to me about something important?" I looked down at my hands, unsure on how to tell my father that his 18 year old daughter was pregnant.
"I don't know how to tell you this, so please bear with me." He put his hand on mine, assuring that he was there for me and signaling for me to continue. "Dad, before I tell you, you have to promise me that you won't tell mom. I want to be the one to tell her and please, please don't tell Dimitri. Lissa already knows anyways." He gave me a look letting me know I should just spit it out already. Taking a deep breath, I told him as fast as I could. "I'm pregnant." It was silent for what seemed like forever; until he spoke first. "Kiz, why don't you want Guardian Belikov to know?" I looked up at his face to see the glimmer of anger in his eyes. "Is there something else I should know?" With yet another deep breath, I glossed over everything that had happened since Lissa and my return to the Academy…especially fudging over what happened at the cabin. My father didn't need to know the gory details, but at the same time letting him know that Dimitri and I had sex. I assured him that I hadn't slept with anyone, including Dimitri, since that one time…just to assure him that he was in fact the only possibility of it being his child.
After telling him everything, he sat there for a moment silently taking everything in. Then he rose from the bed in one swift move. I knew exactly what was going through his mind. I had to stop him. "Dad, please don't. It was just as much my fault as it was his. I wanted it just a much as he did. He gave me several chances to stop, but I just kept encouraging him to keep going. Please dad, don't tell him anything. I want to be the one to tell him, though I don't know exactly when or how, but I promise it will be soon. I know that if he hadn't been turned strigoi, things would be different now…better even." By the end of my speech, I was in tears and kneeling on the floor with my hands clamped together pleading.
He let out a heavy sigh and stared at the ceiling. "Fine, Rose. I will give you 3 days to tell him or I will. You also need to let your mom know. I don't want to be on the receiving end of that, so that is all you. I know that one will be a lot harder, so there is a 2 week limit on that one. With this new information, I need to get back to work finding out who really killed Tatiana and find a way to get you out. Remember…3 days and 2 weeks or else I will inform them myself. He has a right to know, seeing as he is the father and you mother will be more pissed if you don't tell her than if you do. I love you Kiz and I will get you out one way or another." With that, he turned and left the cell. I plopped myself down on my bed and closed my eyes as I tried to think of how to tell them. This was gonna hard, but I knew it had to be done. Maybe I could try to convince Abe for some more time by putting on my charm…yea right.
I had a dreamless night, though I was kinda hoping Adrian would show up. I would have been nice to know that we are still ok. I know I don't love him all like that, but I tried. Nonetheless, at least we are still good friends. I was hoping that he could help me figure a way to tell Dimitri…guess I am on my own with this one. I know…I will talk to Lissa! With that I sent for her.
Please read and review! Luv ya'll!
