A/N- Sorry I've been gone so long guys! It's been almost 2 weeks, oh god. I'm really really sorry now, I know how it feels to be waiting forever for an update. I'm glad you like it so far! It feels kinda weird trying to get back into writing. Thank you so much for all the reviews! You've all guessed right! ← I wrote this a week ago you guys should kick my ass for not updating because I meant to have this up before I went to retreat and state but then that passed and half the week's gone by before I finally got to this.

I'm a horrible person, I know.

guest: Sorry if the grammar mistakes annoy you. Just to let you know, I format it this way on purpose. I don't like it when its crazily spaced. Also about the Roza thing, its more how Russians always call her Roza, not so much sentiment any more. He's got other names for that.

Alright, enough of me, you guys have been waiting long enough →

Chapter 2: Surprise!

Dimitri POV

We walked in silence to the clinic. I wanted to pick Rose up in my arms and carry her there, especially with the way she was looking right now, but I knew that would draw stares and we couldn't afford any extra attention. It was bad enough we spent almost all of our spare time together. I wonder how much longer they'll let us have these practice sessions now that Rose is beginning to beat everyone in her classes.

When we got to the clinic I stood by the counter while Rose filled out a form. I tried to look more like a worried mentor than a hovering boyfriend but I couldn't help it. Rose spun the pen between her fingers and when it slipped I caught it out of the air. "Show off." she teased. I smiled, handing it back to her. "I could do this paperwork with my eyes closed." Rose said. I chuckled quietly. "I'm surprised they still have you fill it out. I thought you said you had your own room here." I teased her.

"I do, are you suggesting we go to my room and play doctor?" Rose said smirking. I couldn't help the blush that Rose up my cheeks. I should spank her for suggesting such a thing in public. Oh Roza, always trying to make me lose control. The nurse suddenly returned to the counter and I calmed down immediately. Rose was still facing me so I pointed behind her so that she would turn around. Rose handed her the forms and turned back to me. I smiled and squeezed her hand under the counter. "Tonight." I whispered. Winking at her before she was taken away. "I'll wait here."

I wanted to pace around the waiting room but I willed myself to stay still. It wouldn't be good for anyone to be suspicious of my behavior. I hoped Rose was okay in there. I wish I was able to be in there with her. Oh Rose, what have you gotten yourself into now.

Rose POV

After leaving the locker room Dimitri and I put some distance between us and walked in silence towards the clinic. I could see Dimitri wanted to help me out, I was moving at a much slower pace than I usually was. My cramps were killing me. When we got to the clinic I leaned against the counter and started filling out the check in forms. My pen slipped out of my hand and Dimitri caught it just in time. "Show off." I muttered. "I could do this paperwork with my eyes closed." I said, smiling up at Dimitri.

"I'm surprised they still have you fill it out. I thought you said you had your own room here." Dimitri teased. I had said that to him earlier when Victor was planning his little attacks. Every time I got hurt it seems as if Dimitri had to be the one to carry me here. "I do." I said smirking. "Are you suggesting we go to my room and play doctor?" I flirted. I saw Dimitri's face redden a bit before he calmed and pointed behind me. The nurse had finally come to the front desk.

As she looked over my papers Dimitri squeezed my hand. "Tonight." he whispered. I smiled. I couldn't wait. The nurse walked off and I followed her into the room and hopped up on the table. I hated these tables with their awkward paper that was laid out on them. I had the bad habit of ripping the paper in my hands when I was waiting. What could I say? I was an active person, sitting still wasn't in my strong suit.

"Alright Rosemarie. What are you here for today?" the nurse asked me. Didn't she read my sheet? I already wrote it down. "I'm moody, and throwing up." I told her exasperated. I already hated coming to the clinic, the Academy could bother to make it worth my time. The nurse stared at my stomach for a moment before she said, "I'll get you a test."

"A test for what?" I asked as I crossed my arms and looked at the nurse. More needles? I hated needles. "I'm sure you know dear." the nurse said softening her tone. "Your symptoms clearly say what this is." I laughed at her. I knew I had a bad reputation but what she was thinking was preposterous. " I've never been with a Moroi that way." I told her with a straight face.

"There's no need to be embarrassed dear." the nurse said as she handed me the box. "Now the restroom is down the corridor. I'm sure you know what to do." I stared at her blankly. She was kidding me right, there was no way I was pregnant. Dimitri was my one and only, and dhampirs can't procreate. That's what we were always taught. I don't know how long I sat there staring at the box in my hand. "Go on dear." the nurse said. "Don't worry there are directions on the box, just to double check alright. Now the clinic is nearly empty, go on no one will see you or the results."

I sat on the toilet and looked down at the box. I opened it and took out a small stick. Hmm. I read the box slowly.

Pee on small soft end.

+pregnant

-not pregnant

°not valid

It took awhile to get it done. I was too nervous to do anything right. After sometime the nurse knocked on the bathroom door. "Rose, dear, are you okay?" she called. I stared at the stick. Nothing had happened yet, but I could see the faint not pregnant line beginning to show. I let out a sigh of relief. Thank god, I did not want to get into that mess.

I stared at the test again before cleaning up and walking out. I handed the test to her. "Not pregnant." I said firming, reinstating my earlier claims. I don't even know why I was worried, it wasn't possible. The nurse looked confused at the object in her hand, I guess she didn't know why I was sick either, and then suddenly something beeped. The nurse looked back at the test again and then back at me, a little frantic.

"Rosemarie. I think we should do some blood tests." she said as she handed the test back to me. I started to go through my whole explanation again, but then I looked at the test in my hands. 'positive' There had been a pink minus sign, now it was a plus sign. "No." I said out loud. I was in shock. "It's invalid, there was just a...No. It's not possible. It's wrong!" I shouted.

"Shhh… Shhh…." The nurse tried to calm me, taking me into another room. I didn't even flinch when she found a vein and took some blood. And usually I was terrified of needles. It went with my whole hating to be in hospitals thing. "I'll be right back." the nurse said quietly. I sat on the table still shocked. "This can't be. Nothing like this could happen. " I spoke to myself staring at the test in my hands. "Dhampirs can't have babies together. That can't happen. Dimitri. He'll think. Oh nooooo..." I fell to my knees after crying out loudly. " I didn't. " I was hyperventilating, shaking, rambling.

I had wrapped my arms around myself and was rocking back and forth when I heard the door click open again. The nurse came and picked me up, got me back on my feet. "What's wrong dear?" she asked. "Are you alright?" I looked up at her. "I'm not. The test was messed up and its not real. It's not real at all...right?" I pleaded. "Not real. Can't happen." I said more to myself and the nurse. Instead of reassuring me, she shook her head. I barely processed her next words.

"Congratulations dear," the nurse said. "You're pregnant."

A/N- Woah. That took a lot longer to write than to think of. Sorry for the super short chapter. I want to get something up so you guys aren't kept waiting. I really will try to get the next one up sometime this week, if not by Sunday. Feel free to send me messages or reviews reminding me to update. It just slips my mind sometimes.

Ciao!
