I woke up in the infirmary yet again. My head was spinning and I felt dizzy. I sat up slowly and looked around the room. I was alone in the room. I grabbed my clothes that were lying in a night pile on a chair and quickly got dressed.

My head started to spin as I slipped on my jeans and I felt arms wrap around me. "Rose, please sit down."

I turned around to see Lissa was the one holding me up. I sat back down on the bed and pulled my jeans up. I put my hand over my belly as the baby started kicking wildly. "Where's are the boys?" I asked and she looked at me, her eyes wide with shock.

"Adrian is seeing if Tasha is asleep so he can catch her in a spirit dream, Christian and Dimitri are trying to get a list of places she could be." She stood up and motioned for me to follow her out the door.

"Are you sure they are ok?" I asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Yes I'm sure. They are perfectly fine. But are you sure you feel stable enough to be walking?" she asked and I glared at her. "Right."

We made it to the room the boys were in and I ran right to Dimitri. "Are you ok?" I asked and pushed a stray strand of hair behind his ear.

"Shouldn't I be asking you that question?" I glared at him. "I'm fine." I threw my arms around his neck and gave him a quick kiss.

"But I want to know what's going on." I felt my throat close up and stared at him for a moment.

"What do you mean?" I asked. Nice one, Rose.

"You have been acting strange the last few days and I want to know why. And don't say nothing." His gaze was all seriousness and I looked down at the floor.

"Robert Duro's back." He looked at me in shock but didn't say anything. "I've seen him a few times in the last few days. I've been having some spirit dreams with him and once in the woods. When we were at the beach." I waited for him to get angry, to tell me I was stupid, anything. Instead he just stared at me.

"Have you lost you fucking mind?" Christian was the one who had responded. "This is something we need to know. This isn't just about you! You are putting Lissa at risk too!"

"I know this! I'm not stupid enough to think he's just after me. He wants revenge for what happened to his brother. He wants me to suffer and that means he could hurt any of you. He knows I'm pregnant and has told me some ways he could take care of the baby."

I refused to cry. If Robert was watching there was no way in hell he was going to see me cry. Christian stared at me for a minute and then had a sad expression come across his face. I couldn't be angry at him. He just wanted her safe and that was what I wanted more than anything.

"I'm sorry." He said and Lissa put an arm around him.

"It's ok. If we're going to find Robert we're going to have to work together. I promise, I'll do whatever I can to keep her safe." I swore. I was her guardian. She was my first priority and I wasn't going to let anything happen to her.

I looked to Dimitri who looked calm but I knew him better. His face and body may not show it, but his eyes were full of worry, fear, and anger. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"We'll rest tonight. Get up early in the morning and then scope out for places he could be." Lissa's voice was calm, despite everything that she'd just heard.

She looked like she wanted to argue about this but I was her guardian first and for most. I wasn't going to stay on the sides when it was my duty to protect her.

I nodded once before walking out the door. I told two of the guardians to stay at her door and if anything out of the ordinary happened to let me know. Dimitri and I walked in silence for a while before I couldn't take it anymore.

"I know what you're thinking, Comrade. But I can't stand by and not help. It's my fault we're in this mess and I'm Lissa's guardian. I have been for almost two years now. There is nothing you can say to change my mind about this." I tried to keep my voice calm but I couldn't help the rough edge that came out.

"I know you want to help but things are different. You're pregnant and we need to keep Lissa safe but you need to think about the safety of this baby too. Rose, you're used to being able to jump into the situation but if you do…" he paused for a minute before continuing. "If you do we could lose this baby."

"I know. I want this baby safe more than anything. They come first. That's how it's always been and that's not about to change." I said the words, I even felt them, but in that moment there was nothing more I wanted than the safety of our baby.

If something happened to this baby I couldn't live with myself. I knew it would kill Dimitri if something happened to this baby. But, maybe, if we stopped Robert we wouldn't lose anyone.

"I love you." He said, pulling me out of my thoughts. He put his hand over our baby and soft kicks hit where his hand was. "I just want you both safe."

I kissed him softly, reveling in the feeling of his lips against mine. I pulled back and he rested his head against mine. "I love you. I want everyone safe and I'll do what I can to make sure that that happens." I told him and he smiled sadly.

"I know." We walked into our dorm and headed to bed.

His arms were wrapped around me the moment we laid in bed. I put my hand over our baby and my last conscious thought was a promise. A promise that everything would be ok. A promise that I hoped I would be able to keep.

***Ok everyone. I hope you are all still enjoying the story and I love all of the reviews. Please let me know this though: The sex and name of the baby. I'm leaving that up to you guys and I'd love to hear what you think. R&R and have a lovely day
