~To all those who were wondering and didn't ask...when I was reading the books, it kinda got put in my head then that Ambrose was a possibility...not sure why though. It doesn't make sense to me why Richelle Mead put him in there without a purpose other than to be the queen's lover...there has to be another reason he is there. The fact that he is a dhampir who chose not to be a guardian, but still was trained as so kinda adds to that for me. Who knows...I guess we will find out if he really is the killer on Dec. 7th (hopefully)!~

I killed the queen. I am so sorry. I know that now you will be free and in a way, now I will too. Goodbye Rose, it was very nice meeting you. Have a great life with Guardian Belikov and congratulations.

Chapter 5

"Holy Shit!" I stared at the letter open-mouthed as I head Mikhail approach my cell. "Rose, is everything alright?" I looked at him with a huge grin on my face. "Now it is! I need Abe. NOW!" "Well, fist you have another visitor. Guardian Belikov is here to se you." I just felt like this was the best day ever. Dimitri walked into my cell and I couldn't help it. I ran up to him and jumped up into his arms. He held me tightly and spun me around…kissing me so intently, I forgot for a moment why I was so happy. I just held onto him tighter, not wanting this to end. I guess I finally got my head out of my ass! Before I could start this kiss turning into anything more, I decide to break away, gasping for air.

"Well, hello to you too, Roza." God I love it when he calls me that. "Hello, Comrade. Can we sit down for a minute? There are a few things I have to tell you." We go back to my cot and sit on it with me laying my head in his lap. I look up and stare at his gorgeous brown eyes. "You wanted to talk to me?" He snapped me out of my trance. I reached into my pocket and pulled out the letter from Ambrose. "Well, this is the first thing. Go ahead and read it!" It didn't take him long to read it over. The further down he got, the wider his smile got. "This is amazing Roza! You're free!" I bit my lower lip, preparing myself for the next bit of information that I have to give him.

Sitting up, I turn to face him and take his hands in mine…just staring at him while trying to figure out how to say it. "Well, I am not exactly free. Yea, I am innocent as far as Tatiana's murder goes, but now there is something else going on that is going to put me being a guardian on hold for a while." There is a look of confusion that is spread across his face now. "What are you talking about Roza? Is there something else that you did that is going to keep you in here longer or put you back on grounds keeping?" I shake my head and look down. He raises my head with his finger and stares into my eyes with nothing but love. "Please Roza, just say it. Whatever it is, just come out and say it."

I slightly nodded. "Dimitri, did you even think about having a family?" He nodded. "With me?" He nodded once again. "Where are you getting at Roza?" I took a deep breath. "Well, I am pregnant and that one time at the cabin is the only time I have ever had sex. I wasn't with anyone before that day and I wasn't with anyone after." I got up from the cot to pace around, wanting to give him a minute to process the bomb I fucking dropped on him, when he stands up and starts to pace around, making a point to not look at me. He suddenly stopped and is facing away from me.

Wow. I can't believe what I just heard. I am going to be a father. My baby is growing inside the most beautiful and loving woman I have ever met. Her baby is mine…and so is she. I have never felt like this before. Rose has always made me feel strange things, though…but this tops it all. All the other females I had been intimate with never really held a piece of my heart like she does. I have never loved anyone the way I love her. And now, she is making my life complete. I guess the next thing I should do is propose…but I have to wait. I can't do it here with her still being in prison. Sure, as soon as Abe reads the letter from Ambrose, she will be out, but I think I will take her out to dinner or something first. I am sure she is starving…I remember the food.

Rose snaps me out of my scheming. "Dimitri, please say something. Look at me. Yell at me…just do something. I didn't even know that it could happen. We are both dhampirs. I am really…." I spun around and cut her off. "Don't say you're sorry. You don't have anything to apologize for." I smiled at her and walked towards her. Cupping her face in my hands, I then kissed her with an intensity that I never had before. I had to break away so I could finish telling her what I was going to say. "The only thing I want to hear is that you love me and want to be with me. I am nothing but ecstatic at the idea of you having my baby."

Just then I hear a familiar voice that nearly scares the shit out of me. "What did you just say to my daughter?" It was Janine. Shit!

JPOV

I repeated the question just in case they didn't hear me. "What did you just say to my daughter?" Both Rose and Dimitri stared at me with their mouths hanging open. "I am going to rip your head off your fucking shoulders, Belikov. I can't believe you would touch her like that!" By now I am so furious that I am speaking through my teeth at him. Then it really hits me. Rose is pregnant….with a dhampir's baby. A dhampir that is 7 years older than her nonetheless! I thought that there my be something going on with them, but I had no idea it had gone this far…which means it happened when she was still 17! "Guardian Belikov, step away from my daughter. I don't want her to get hurt." "No, Mom. I love him and I will not step aside so that you can hurt him. He is the father of my baby and I will not let you do anything to him. Like I told Dad, I wanted to be with him just as much as he did. He had given me several opportunities to stop, but I wanted him to keep going. It is not just his fault…it is mine too."

Well, what the fuck? "I was hoping that you would be smarter than this, Rosemarie. I was hoping that you would learn from my mistake and not be so irresponsible. You are throwing away an amazing opportunity to be a guardian. What are you going to do now…become a blood whore until your trial?" I knew the last statement was more than a little uncalled for, but I had to make her realize that it is impossible to raise a child and be a successful guardian at the same time. That is why I sent her to the academy…so that I could do what I was trained to do without worrying about her being in danger. And now, here she is…just barely 18 and pregnant. Sound like someone? Damn subconscious.

"I have had a lot of time to think about this. I am going to keep training, but cut out sparring…to an extent. Then after I have the baby, I will keep the baby with me while I am here at court until he or she gets older. Then, they will attend school here while I continue guarding Lissa. I will request that she schedules me while my child is in school. Everything will work out. Lissa and I already talked about it. And besides, there won't be a trial." Well, I guess she did have it figured out then. Wait. "What do you mean there won't be a trial?" She handed me a letter and as I read it, I began to feel excited. As I was reading, I felt Abe's presence behind me. I held the letter open a little while longer so that he could read it as well, giving me a chance to read it again.

"Well, Rose. Let's get you out of here." That was all Abe said before he took off down the corridor. I assume he is meeting with the council about this. After all, our daughter was a free woman being held up in a cell.

Please review! The number of reviews I have received it what makes me update so often...so thanx!
