ROSE

"If I'm crazy? You just jumped in front of the car! Get out!" I yelled back at him.

"Turn around." he said to the driver.

"Don't you understand?! I have time till midnight. If I don't come there in time he'll kill Lissa and Christian."

"We still have lot of time. And you're not going anywhere."

"Don't tell me what to do!"

"What about our baby?"

"It's Lissa that is in..." wait. Did he say 'our' baby? "Wait..what?"

"Rose I..." he looks at me "I'm so sorry."

"For what?"

"For everything. Not trusting you, telling and doing-"

"STOP THE CAR!" I yell to the driver and he pressed the brakes hard. In the second the car stopped, I ran out and started to walk down the street.

But of course Dimitri couldn't just go. He had to follow me.

"Where are you going?" he said while following me, because I don't want to stop walking.

"I don't know. Anywhere, just away from you. So, stop following me."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to listen to you."

"You don't want to listen me apologize?" he asks. That was when I stopped walking. And I turned around.

"Yes. Do you think that a simple sorry will make me simply forgive you? Dimitri, I was treated as a worst woman ever. I was the one who cheated on one of the best guardians, while he was working his ass off. I was the bitch that ran away when they found out about me being pregnant with my lover. I was the one who made a lot of people's pain."

"But I would live through that. I wouldn't mind if people would say that about me. I don't care what other people say. But you are not other people! You are the love of my life! You are the father of this baby! You are the one that should be believing me when I said that it's yours!"

"I do believe you now."

"Now! You believe me now! What about those 8 months? I lived unhappily, disappointed, alone, miserable..." There were Oksana, Mark and Konnikov brothers with me but... he knows what I mean.

"I know. And I'm sorry. I was stupid, and blind and deaf... And Mark was right. In that time I didn't see how much I was hurting you."

I didn't know what to say or what to do. Dimitri is saying sorry and telling me how he realized, how awful he was acting to me. He wants me to forgive him but I...

"Rose, I'm begging you to forgive me. I can't live without you. These past months were torture for me. I love you. I never stopped loving you even though I thought you know... And all the time I knew I won't be able to forget you, I knew that I will love you for the rest of my live. With us being together or not. Please, Roza. Please."

I was quiet for some time there, just standing there, collecting all the words that he said. I felt how sorry he was, but in the back of my memory I was remembering all of our fights and all the times I've spent crying.

"Dimitri... I love you. But my trust to you is gone. I can't forget those horrible moments we spent yelling at each other and I don't know if I'll be able to forgive you."

Then his face that begged me to forgive him turned to a face of a desperate, broken hearted man that regrets his doings.

"I... I understand." he said.

My back started to hurt and I went to sit on a bench. The sun was warming my skin but I felt cold. I had a feeling I lost something. Now forever.

"I do want to save Lissa... but I don't want to die. Not now. Not like this. Pregnant." I say sitting and watching kids play on the playground. Dimitri kneeled beside me.

"Let me take you back. We will make a plan that will save you, Lissa and Christian. If you forgive me or not Rose, I won't let anything happen to you." I remembered the time in the cabin when he said those words to me for the first time. And still thinking about it, Dimitri stayed in Russia with me and protected me, that means that he didn't break his promise.

"Or the baby." he finished. I didn't know what to say but I knew, I am going to listen to him. I'm going to follow their plan and hope that everything ends well.

It's 5 in the evening and we have 24 dhampir that are prepared to help me and the Queen. Olena stayed home to protect children and Oksana stayed with her, but others (Karolina, Victoria, Dimitri, Mark, Konnikov brothers) are coming. We also got six guardians from Baia neighbourhood that are close to Dimitri's family, Kaya, that is actually only a good friend with Dimitri, and three of her co-guardians with her protecting Alexander Zeklos, five Mark's relatives and Nikolai with his brother Denis and friend Tamara.

The sun is not down yet and that means the best way is for others to go to that address and hide around the building.

Oksana is still here with me waiting for the cab. Both of us are nervous sitting in the kitchen, drinking some water.

"Everything is going to be just fine, you'll see." Oksana tries to calm me down.

"Fine... Why have I even accepted and went back? Now many people are in danger."

"Do you think that he would let the Queen go then? of course not. He would just know that you are coming. And he would win."

"Do you think he's alone there? He probably has a whole army hiding in that building, hungry for blood."

"No. Don't think this way. Think positive." Oksana bursted. I probably made her panic too now. Great.

The cab came and it's my time to go.

"Thank you for everything." I say to Oksana.

"No... don't thank me. It was an honor to have you here." we hug and I sit in the car.

That drive was the worst roller coaster of emotions that I ever experienced. I was shaking, breathing deeply and crying thinking of losing any of these people that are here to save me and Lissa. I felt guilty, unhappy, scared and I was worried. I felt my heartbeat in every single part of my body.

Where did my courage go now? I used to be badass and fearless, not afraid of death.

But I know the answer of this question. It's not mine life that I'm afraid for. But my child's.

I felt cold and hot at the same time. I felt sick, sitting in the back of the car but I couldn't even throw up because I didn't eat anything. I couldn't.

The car stopped.

"We're already here?" I ask the driver. I wish that he would say no.

"Yes. Money." mister says. He probably only knows how to say that. I give him the money and step out.

On my left side there are bank, post and a bookstore. All written in Russian but I can see what the buildings were because of the display windows. This clearly isn't the place.

When I turn around I see a big building that clearly used to be a hotel. Now it's empty and falling apart. People now only use the parking lot and the walls for graffiti. This is the place. I give a last glance around thinking that I would see some dhampir figures to thank them for everything, but I didn't see anyone. They are hiding, God knows where.

Now I start walking slowly towards the entry. I put a hand on my stomach.

I'm so sorry, my love. I wish I could give you the life that you deserve. I wish I could meet you, give you a name, raise you and teach you how to kick some butt.

I wish you could meet Lissa. She is a great friend. I wish we could tell you all the adventures we went through. She loves you even though she never met you.

I wish you could meet your father. He's a well respected guardian and he's even called a God. I wish we could tell you how we met, how much we love each other and how much we love you. I know that you felt my pain, stress and I know how many bad words you heard me say. But all this time, somewhere deep in my mind I always knew your father still loves me. And he loves you. He's going to do everything in his power to save you.

And I... I really hope you can hear me right now. I hope you can hear me because I want you to know... mommy loves you. Those kicks you gave me, were painful but I know you just wanted to make me know you're here. You wanted to listen to my voice.

I love you, my child.

I slowly entered the building with my hand still on my stomac
