Dimitri looked at me for a long time, his expression unreadable. I felt my heart pounding out of control and it got hard to breathe. I thought Dimitri would've been comforting me, saying it wasn't my fault and I did what I had to do. But he just kept staring. And staring. And the look on his face almost made me feel like everything that just happened was my fault. Getting kidnapped twice, making Dimitri risk his career and life for me, everything that happened between us. I looked away from him.

I wish I never met him, I thought bitterly, but instantly regretted it. Before I met Dimitri, everything was so simple. All I had to do was make sure Lissa was safe and we didn't run into any Strigoi, now it's all about prophicies and babies and olden-day suicides and all these things I can't quite comprehend. I didn't like it. I'm not saying I don't like my baby, cause I really do, but being pregnant so young, and practically being forced to have a baby so young, infuriates me. I always thought I'd have a baby when I wanted to have one, if I ever decided to have one once I was old enough.

But now? Being pregnant with the child that belongs to a man twice my age? It's...strange. Unreal.

"You're regretting this," Dimitri said softly. I looked at him, his eyes were down. "You regret everything we did, don't you? I can see it on your face." My heart stopped. The look on Dimitri's face was so sad I wanted to bawl my eyes out.

"I—"

"Don't." Dimitri stood up to leave but stopped when I grabbed his wrist.

"Please stop," I said tiredly. "I'm sick and tired of all this drama. I don't regret anything. Sure, I'm sad I have to give up the rest of my childhood, but I never once said I regret anything."

Dimitri looked at me blankly. He pulled his wrist from my grip and walked away.

DPOV

A feeling of sadness washed over me. She regretted everything. I thought that maybe everything would be simpler once she got pregnant, but everything became more difficult. Something horrible was always happening, Roza was always being threatened. I sighed. I knew I had to stay with Roza, I knew that I loved her unconditionally, but it made me feel horrible.

I stood outside and took a deep breath. I checked my phone and noticed over a dozen missed calls and texts. I sighed, knowing more than half of them were probably from Alberta. I turned my phone off and went back inside. Roza was sitting on the edge of her bed, a nurse stood in front of her. She looked miserable.

The nurse saw me and left without a word. Roza didn't look at me. Her hands were on her belly, rubbing absently.

"H-How's the baby?" I asked.

"Now you care?" she asked dryly.

"I always cared," I said firmly.

She grunted.

"You don't believe me?"

"With everything that's going on, I have a reason to believe so." She glared at me.

My anger exploded. "I wouldn't have risked my life to find you if I didn't care about the baby! I will protect it and I will protect you!"

She looked at me blankly. "Get out."
