Loving all of your reviews people! Keep them coming! I know some of you are getting frustated with the whole "Rose's file" storyline, but it will be great reveal once it is revealed :D And also there will be other storylines to come as well as the Prequel!

I don't know when this story will end, I actually have an idea of how it will end but when. It could be up to sixty chapters before it comes to it's end, it could be that or less.

But I know after this story there will be an actually Squeal, not a Prequel. So lets get this straight, theres going to be a Prequel, the oringinal story and the Squeal, you see where I'm getting at? It will all make sense in the end. :)

Enjoy this chapter, I've made it as long as possible! :P

Chapter Twenty Six:

"What the hell is your Mom doing back?" Mason asked after the little Lissa's guardians meeting was over. Both Eddie and Mason stayed behind as - word travels around fast - they knew that my Mom is back in town. Both Mom and I got on...okay, but I've always gotten along with Dad much more better. We hadn't spoke really since I left the academy and started being Lissa's guardian. I was actually surprised she came to see me if she was on some kind of business trip.

I closed up the files with all the infos of Lissa's goings this week and looked up to the two boys. "How the hell should I know?"

Eddie put both of his hands up, "Hey! Don't have a go at us because your Moms back."

I rolled my eyes at him, "How do you want me to react? All sweet and happy?"

"Well to be honest Rose," Mason started, "That would worried us even more if you acted like that." I grabbed one of the files and hit Mason's arm with it. "OW!"

"Are you going to talk to her?" Eddie said, trying to calm me down so I wouldn't hit him either.

I breathed out, "Yep, I sort of have to really, I have to meet her in ten minutes."

"Alright then, you get going and we'll put the files away." Eddie said, jumping off the table while Mason was still rubbing his arm.

I smiled at Eddie, "Thanks and Mason," Mason turned to look at me as I headed to the door of the meeting room. "Tell Claire I said sorry for giving you a bruise."

Mason gave me a glare while Eddie just laughed and shook his head.

I closed the door behind me and was about to be on my way, but then I saw someone sitting on one of the waiting seats, someone I knew very well.

"Mia?"

Mia looked up at the call of her name and smile came on her doll face, "Rose," She stood up and gave me a quick hug. "How have you been? I haven't seen you since...well...you know."

I nodded,"Yeah I've been good. Dimitri moved in, been doing the cafe with Adrian and now my Mom's in town."

"What? You're Moms in town? How did that happen?" Mia asked.

I shook my head, "I have no idea, I'm actually going to meet her now." I turn back to Mia, "And what are you doing here?"

Mia struggled for words, "Oh, what, me? Well...I...I am just chilling out."

"Here," Mia nodded, "Outside the meeting room?"

"Yep." Mia continued to nod.

I narrowed my eyebrows and crossed my arms over my chest. "Mia, I bet even Scott could tell you lying out of your ass."

Mia sighed, "Fine! I'm here to meet Eddie."

"Eddie?"

Slowly nodding, Mia added, "We have lunch together...everyday."

"Right," That's not weird at all. "I'll see you later, have a great lunch."

"Thanks," Now Mia was blushing like a schoolgirl.

I was definally keeping an eye on them.

As I was walking to the guest houses, I heard someone call for me. I looked over my shoulder to see Lissa running towards me.

I stopped and turned around towards her. "Hey Liss."

Over the last two months her and Jill had been bonding and even though at first it was hard, for the both of them. They were now as close as Lissa and I, so everything was okay between them now.

"Hey," Lissa said as she caught up with me. "Where are you going."

We started walking beside each other, our hands in our own pockets as we walked outside.

"To the guest houses." I replied, keeping my voice light.

Lissa narrowed her eyebrows at me, "What? Why?" I guess word hadn't really gotten out about my Mom being in town.

"My Moms in town." I told her faking a smile.

She paused and I stopped along with her, Lissa's face held many secrets. "Janine's here?"

I slowly nodded, "Yeah, why?"

She struggled, "I've got to be somewhere." She said quickly, backing away. "But I'm going to see wedding cakes tommorrow, you want to come?"

Confused by the way she was acting, I nodded, "Yeah sure, text me."

Lissa nodded and ran off from the way we came from.

This day couldn't get more stranger.

I was finally at the guest houses, standing outside the front door of my Mom's guest house. I didn't know how to start this, it's not everyday I saw my Mom who left me at the academy without a single e-mail, it was shocker that I did a e-mail from her once at Christmas time. Slowly, I knocked on the door and waited.

The door opened quickly with Janine's...smiling face?

"Rose," Mom said and she pulled me into a awkard hug. "Come in."

Still in some kind of shock from the hug, I slowly walked into the guest house.

"Come on," Mom said leading me into the kitchen, "I was just eating some ice cream."

I paused as Mom sat down at the kitchen counter, "Ice cream?" I asked in disbelief. Mom nodded, "But you never eat ice cream."

Mom nodded again as she took a bite out of her - what seemed to be - chocolate ice cream. "Yeah, it helps with the sickness."

"Sickness?" Her head snapped up as she realised what she just said.

She pointed at the seat next to her and I sat down, "I didn't want to tell you like this."

"Tell me what? What's going on?" I asked, totally confused on where this was going.

"Well the main reason I came down here was to... drop my post."

"What, why? I don't understand." I said.

My own mother was smiling a bright and...happy smile. "I'm pregnant."

My eyes widened as I stared at her blanky. Pregnant? I thought when you're thirty six going on thirty seven you didn't get pregnant.

"Rose," Mom said a few minutes later, corncen in her voice. "Rose, say something."

I struggled for words..."H-how?"

Mom shrugged, "It just...happened."

I narrowed my eyebrows, "Is it...Dad's?"

Disgust was placed on her face for a second before she quickly hid it away and replied, "No! No...it's not his."

"Then whose?"

She paused before answering, "Someone you don't know."

I didn't ask again, instead I said. "So...I'm going to have a little brother or sister?"

Sadness crossed her face but like last time Mom quickly hid it and gave me a small smile. "Yes, how do you feel about that?"

I breathed out, "Okay I guess. I'm happy for you." Something came to me, "Is that why you're dropping your post?"

Mom nodded slowly, "I wanted to set things right you know...I know I wasn't the best...mother in your childhood, but I thought this time, I could do things right." I could tell she was being honest, but I had a feeling that she was still hiding something from me.

I smiled at her, "I completely and totally understand."

"Great," She pulled out another spoon. "Eat with me?"

"Completely and totally," We both laughed and dug into the bowl of ice cream. After a while, I had to to ask, "Hey, Mom, could I ask you something?"

"Go ahead sweetheart," Mom was totally lost in the ice cream.

"You did go to St. Vladmir's like me, right?"

Mom stopped eating and turned to me with a frown on her face, "Yes...why?"

"Oh, what I mean to say is that...well, I bumped into someone named Derek...he said that he knows you and that you went to St. Morgans." I told her. Mom had a slight smile on her face when I said the guy's but then it went back into a frown.

I could see her struggling but then she finally said, "Yes, I did got to St. Morgans...but only for a...month, because they're was a flood at the academy so we had to go there. Derek was in my Guardian classes." Something was off, I was sure of it.

"Okay," I wasn't sure whether I should believe her or not.

But thankfully she changed the subject, "So, what's been going on with you?"

I shut the door behind me after a long day spending time with my new found bond with my mother. I was glad to be home.

"Roza? Is that you?" Dimitri called from the kitchen.

I sighed, "Yeah it is." I said walking into the kitchen to find Dimitri, Jill and Scott eating dinner. And it was heathly stuff. "Wow, you kids are finally getting healthy."

Both Jill and Scott gave me death glares and said, "Shut up." And went back to eating.

Dimitri just chuckled and turned to me as I walked over to the counter. "Do you want some Roza?"

I shook my head as I took my coat off, "No, I'm still full from eating chocolate ice cream all day."

"Whoa whoa, wait." Jill started, "She gets to eat chocolate ice cream and we have to eat this?"

I rolled my eyes, "Eat." I ordered her and she continued eating.

"So, how was it with Guardian Hathaway?" Dimitri asked, being all formal.

"Good, better than I thought and I have some good news." Dimitri did that cool eyebrow thing and Jill was taking a slip of her drink. "My Mom's pregnant."

We all turned towards Jill as she spat out her drink and started to choked, clearly in shock. Dimitri helped her out by patting her back.

When Jill was finally able to breath, she looked at me and said with a choky voice, "Pregnant?"

I nodded, "Yep."

"Whose the father?" Dimitri asked with a curious facial expression.

"Is it our Daddy?" Scott asked hopeful.

I shook my head, "No it isn't our Dad's and I don't know who is the father, Mom didn't tell me."

Dimitri could tell there was more and raised his eyebrow higher.

"I'll tell you later," I whispered to him.

"So, is she going to do the same thing as she did to you? Dump you at an academy?" Jill asked honestly.

"Surprisingly no, she wants to move to New York and raise the baby there."

"New York? That's far." Scott commented.

I shrugged, "She sort of wants a new start, what better place to start than New York."

After watching a movie with Dimitri and Scott, I headed up to Jill's room where she went to instead of watching the movie with us. I softly knocked on her door before opening it half way. I saw her crossed legged on her bed drawing in her art book that she got from her Mom for Christmas.

She looked up with a slight smile on her face, "Hi."

"Hey," I closed the door behind me and went over to her bed, "What's up, you didn't feel like watching the movie with us?"

"Something like that," Jill said as I sat across from her.

I narrowed my eyebrows, "There's something else isn't there?"

Jill sighed as she dropped her pencil on her art book. "Well, let's just say you're not the only one whose mother has gotten knocked up."

My eyes widened, "Oh my god, Emily's pregnant?"

Jill nodded, "Yep, my step-father's dudes finally did what they were made to do."

I rolled my eyes, "And you're not happy?"

"I don't know, should I be?" Jill asked confused.

"Well, it demends, how do you feel about it?"

"Mixed," Jill explained, "I mean I'm happy for her, but sometimes...I feel like she has forgotten me, you know."

I grabbed her hand, "You do live at Court Jill." Little tears ran down her pink cheeks, "But hey. Look at what you got passed in the last months. You've gotten over you're eating disorder, passed the bullying back at the academy and you've gotten so close to Lissa, right?"

Jill smiled and wiped her tears, "Yeah I guess you're right and I love staying here with you, Scott and Dimitri. But now...I just don't feel like my Mom is my Mom, you know. She's just there."

I sadly smiled at her, "Yeah...I know how that feels." I looked over at the time. "Alright," I started, getting off the bed, "When you finish whatever you're drawing, go straight to bed, okay?"

"Yes Miss!" Jill joked and I went towards the door, "But Rose," I turned towards her. "Thanks, for talking."

I opened the door, "I'm always here Jill, whenever you need me." I stated and walked out of her bedroom, closing the door behind me.

I stared at the number on my cell whilst sitting on my bed. I didn't know whether to call or not. But what if I was over reacting? Or maybe I wasn't and there was something that Janine was keeping from me.

The bedroom door opened and Dimitri walked through, seeing me laid out on the bed, he came towards me.

"Scott's in bed," Dimitri told me as he took off his shoes and sat next to me. "What's wrong?"

I bit my lip, "Well, the other day I ran into this guy called Derek who said that he knows my Mom."

"That doesn't sound weird." Dimitri commented.

"I know, but he said that he went to St. Morgans, and that's how he knows my Mom."

Dimitri narrowed his eyebrows, "I thought your Mom went to St. Vladmir's?"

"That's what I thought too, and she said the same thing, that she went to St. Vladmir's, like me. But...I don't know...something's off."

Dimitri studied me, "What are you going to do?" I showed him the number on my cell. "That's the number to the academy."

I nodded, "I just need to be sure that what Mom is telling is the truth." I pressed the call and held up the cell to my ear as Dimitri watched me, running his long fingers through my hair, keeping me calm.

It picked up on the third ring.

"Hello 's, how can I help you?" God, I hated it when they said it in a very cheery voice.

I took a deep breath, "Hi, is there any chance that I could talk to Alberta Petrova for a moment?"

"Actually, she's just here, hold on." There was some mumbling.

"Hello," Alberta's firm voice answered.

I sat up, "Hi Alberta, it's me, Rose Hathaway."

I could hear her smiling thorugh the phone. "Rose! How are you?"

"I'm good thanks, yourself?"

"I'm well thanks, but I'm guessing you didn't call to catch up." Alberta said.

I shook my head, "No I didn't, I need to ask you a question."

"Ask away."

"I know this should be true, but I just wanted to make sure and I know you have been working at the academy for a every long time." I paused, "Was there a flood at the academy while my Mom was around that made you go to St Morgans for a month?"

There was silence until Alberta said, "Yes there was, it almost closed the academy."

I breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Dimitri, who smiled back. "Alright thank you Alber-"

"But," Oh god. "You're mother never went to 's."

My eyes widened, "What? Are you sure?"

"Yes, I remebered every dhampir student and she didn't come to this academy," I was about to say something until she continued. "I actually remember around the time your Mom would have left an academy, the guardians talked about how she was on the top of the class." There was silence again, "And she went to...St. Morgans, that's why I remembered her, I helped her with a blocking move once."

I held my breath, "Thanks for your help."

"Anytime Rose." Then we both hung up.

Dimitri leaned up towards me, "What is it?"

I was still in shock when I said, "My Mom lied to me." I looked in Dimitri dark deep eyes, "And I don't know why."

LPOV

I knocked on the door and waited. I know it was late but I needed to talk to her, I couldn't stop thinking about it since Rose told me she was around.

The door opened a few moments later, to Janine in her pjs. "Princess," She said, "What can I do for you?"

"Firstly it's Lissa." I said and looked through the house, "And can I come in for a moment?"

Janine nodded and opened the door fully for me. When I walked in, she asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

I turned towards her, making sure the door was closed before I said, "I will only take a minute."

Crossing her arms over her chest, "What is it then Lissa?"

I didn't know how to start so I said the thing I've been wanting to say for a long time. "I know..."

Janine raised her eyebrow at me, "Know what?"

I ran my hand through my hair. "I've seen Rose's file," I started and she frowned, "I know.." I repeated.

"Oh my god," Janine groaned as she put her hand on her forehead. "You haven't told..."

"I almost did," I said. "But she has a right to know...about both of them."

Janine stared at me as she bit her lip.

DUH DUH DUH! I'm sorry my dear readers, but that was another cliffhanger...I know right know you will be wanting to hunt me down and get answers, but you will have to wait until two more chapters. I hope you also choked on your drinks like Jill did when you learned that Janine is pregnant, tehe...What did you think about that? Did you see it coming? And also, Janine is lying to Rose and Lissa is in on the secret. What do you think it could be?
