Hey, you guys! I'm back again! I know it's been over a week, but at least it hasn't been a month, right? Anyway, enjoy the chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Academy. :)


A few days had gone past and things were doing great. Everyone got along and with other people to entertain Anabelle, Dimitri and I got a few special moments to ourselves.

Dimitri had to convince me that it would be fine and that we could be quiet. He assured me that no one would notice. If anyone did notice, no one said anything.

Throughout the whole time, I kept wondering about what Yeva said. What did it mean?

I got woken up by a queasy stomach. Trying not to wake up Dimitri, I got out of bed. Hurrying to our bathroom, I emptied out last night's dinner.

When I finished, I stood up and realized that my futile attempts to not wake up Dimitri had failed. I wasn't surprised. Not paying any more attention to him, I got my toothbrush and cleaned my mouth from the horrid taste.

"Roza, are you okay?" Dimitri asked, worry laced in his words. When I had rushed out of the bed, it had caused him to become wide awake and filled with worry.

I didn't want him to worry. Turning to face him, I gave him a small grin. I walked up to him and put my arms around his neck. Automatically, he put his arms around my waste.

"I'm fine, comrade," I said, giving him a small kiss on the neck.

He pulled me back a little so that he could look me in the face. "Are you sure?"

"Completely. I probably just ate something that didn't settle right. It was just a one time thing, I feel perfect now."

He studied my face before giving up and giving me a kiss on the forehead.

"Okay," he started as he pulled me to the bed, "let's get back to sleep then. It's the middle of the night and we have to be up early."

He laid us on the bed, pulling me close. We both fell asleep quick, wanting to rest for tomorrow.

Dimitri was up before was, probably already downstairs. When I woke up, I felt sick again. It was the same as last night. As soon as I threw up, I felt normal.

I brushed my teeth and then got dressed, putting a swimsuit on underneath my clothes. We were going to go to a water park!

I walked downstairs and was greeted by an amazing smell. I made my way to the kitchen where Olena handed me a plate full of food.

"Eat up, sweetheart," she said.

"Thank you," I told her, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Sitting between Dimitri and Anabelle, I gave Anabelle a kiss on the head and Dimitri a kiss on the lips. Then, I dug into my food.

Dimitri was watching me, probably wanting to make sure I wasn't sick. After giving him a quick glance, I tuned into the conversation that was happening at the table.

"-and then we can go on the boats. Maybe I can race Dimitri and see if I can finally beat him," Viktoria said, giving him a challenging look.

Everyone was excited and full of energy. There was no doubt that today was going to be amazing.

"We'll get to everything, don't worry," Olena told them.

They continued on like that, explaining all of the rides and what they wanted to do most. Anabelle was listening in and looked so excited.

After a little bit, Dimitri sent all of the kids to help wash dishes. Then, he faced me.

"Are you alright, Roza?" he asked.

"I told you I'm-" I started.

He interrupted me. "I know that you said you were fine last night. How are you feeling right now?"

Truthfully, I didn't feel perfect, but I don't want to tell him that and have him worry.

"I feel great, Dimitri."

"Roza." he said in a warning tone. Obviously, he already knows that I don't feel great. He knows me well enough and can almost read me like a book. That doesn't mean that I'm going to admit that I don't feel well, though.

I stood up, grabbing my plate. "I'm fine, really." He gave me a look. "I am fine, and I'm going to go and have fun. I'll prove to you that I'm fine."

He sighed, but let it go, for now.

I put my dirty plate in the sink, and the kids soon finished doing the dishes. After making sure we had everything, we left.

Water park, here we come!

0000

"Here we are," Dimitri exclaimed once everyone was out of the cars. Everyone cheered and we walked inside the gates.

I made sure I was in the lead so that I could pay for everybody. It was the least we could do. They always let us stay with them while not expecting anything in return.

When Olena realized what I had done, she gave both Dimitri and I an exasperated look. Then she walked in after the kids, shaking her head. Sharing a glance, Dimitri and I both knew that she would try to find a way to pay us back, but we won't let her.

Trailing behind the group, Dimitri grabbed my hand. I held on tight as we both watched Anabelle. She was so happy and, without a doubt, loved her distant family very much.

The day was so much fun and went by pretty quick. Before we knew it, it was dark out.

We walked into the parking lot to our vehicles. There was nobody in the parking lot except us. At least, it was just us until ten strigoi popped out.

Dimitri and I, being the guardians we were, almost always had our stakes with us, like now. Pulling them out, we automatically went into protective stances.

The Belikov's went to get their stakes which they kept in the car today. Karolina and Sonya joined us while Viktoria, Olena, and Yeva – with their own stakes – stayed back protecting the kids who were put in one of the vehicles. With a quick glance to check on Anabelle, I fought.

I was doing fine until I got to my third strigoi. He hit me in the stomach just right. Immediately I didn't feel so well. I nearly doubled over, but I couldn't leave myself unprotected.

I had a hard time fighting the strigoi and, with hit after hit, he almost had me down. I couldn't fight, let alone stand, for much longer.

Luckily, a god in the shape of Dimitri came to my rescue. He moved in front of me, fighting my strigoi. I didn't want to let my guard down, but I soon had no choice.

Falling to my knees, I lost everything I had in me, quite literally.

The sounds of battle soon died, and there were hands holding my hair back.

"Roza, Roza, Roza," Dimitri kept murmuring.

When I felt like I had finished, I felt arms pick me up. I realized it was Dimitri, and he held me bridal style.

He looked frantic, barking out orders in Russian. In no time, we were in the car and heading to the hospital.

I felt better by the time we got there, but Dimitri wouldn't let me walk. I was in his arms again and he hurried inside. Nurses took me from him and took me to a room, letting him follow us.

They didn't knock me out, which I was happy for, but they did a ton of tests. At least, it felt like a ton of tests. They put me on IV, took some blood, and a bunch of other stuff.

Dimitri stood in the corner of the room the whole time, watching with undeniable pain in his eyes. When at last the nurses finally left, he approached my bed. Sitting down, he took my hand.

"Roza," he sighed. It hurt me to see him in such pain, and I could believe how he felt. I couldn't meet his eyes.

"Roza, why?"

"Dimitri, I-" I started.

He cut me off. "You knew something was wrong, but you just pushed it off like it wasn't there. Why would you let this happen to you? Why didn't you tell me? Don't you trust me?"

That last question came out as a whisper, and it broke my heart.

"Dimitri, I'm sorry, but-"

"But what, Rose?"

I flinched when he dropped my nickname.

I finally met his gaze and saw tears in his eyes. His free hand came up to wipe my own tears that were rolling down my cheek.

"I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry," I whispered, my tears coming down faster now. Dimitri pulled me close and held on tight.

"I know, Roza, I know." He rubbed my back and kissed my head. "I'm sorry for getting mad, but I just can't lose you again. I've already lost you so many times, I don't want to lose you for good."

"I know, Dimitri, and I won't let that happen," I told him, trying to reassure him.

"I know, Roza."

We held onto each other until we heard the door open. Dimitri backed off and faced the nurse, keeping hold of my hand.

"Your tests are back and we have wonderful news for you," the nurse said.

Dimitri and I shared a glance, both of us surprised. I come here after a fight, feeling sick to my bones, and puking, yet, everything is wonderful?

"What's the news?" Dimitri asked, curiosity filling his voice.

"Well, first of all, you are fine," she told me. "The morning sickness is completely normal and should be expected, although you did get it a bit early, but it's all good.

Morning sickness? What did she mean by morning sickness?

The nurse looked at our faces and laughed. "You guys really have no clue, do you?

We both shook our head, completely and utterly confused.

"Oh, well," she tried to think of how to continue on, "most people have at least some idea, even if they aren't trying."

I was still confused and she laughed again. Starting to get pissed off, I started thinking that if she didn't tell us soon, I was going to get up in whatever shape I was in and kick her ass.

"You're pregnant," she finally told us, laughing at our response. "Congratulations. I'll leave so that you two can have a chance to talk." And with that, she left.

Dimitri and I were still holding hands, and I could feel his tightening up. I was so shocked. I didn't know how to react.

How could this happen? It's not possible.

Dimitri turned to look at me and I didn't speak. It's not like I even could.


I hoped you guys liked it. How will Dimitri react, I wonder? Lol

Anyway, get ready for a Dimitri POV next chapter. I don't know if I'm any good, so I'm apologizing ahead of time.

Have a great day/night!
