-3 DAYS LATER-

I was five months along now and was constantly wondering the streets of Las Vegas, where we'd met Robert the first time. I hoped he was here but I had to admit I also hoped he wasn't. I hadn't really thought the plan through. All I knew was that I wanted my family safe and if they couldn't find him then I was going to have to do this on my own.

I hoped and prayed Dimitri wouldn't be too angry when I got back. A light kick made me look down to my stomach and I realized that I still hadn't thought about a name. I rolled my eyes at the thought. Nothing would stick and I wanted something unique, something that would mean something.

I walked into one of the small coffee shops and pulled out my phone. 33 messages, 12 voicemails, 19 missed calls. Lovely.

"Hey, little girl. What are you doing in Vegas?" I was about to tell whoever was talking to me to fuck off but when I looked up I smiled.

"Hey old man." I looked behind him to see my mom. "Hey mom."

"You ran off again?" she asked. Same old mom, jumping right to conclusions. Only in this case she was right.

"Yeah." My dad looked like he was about to argue with her, but stopped to stare at me.

"Really?" he asked and I looked down at my hands as they slid into the other booth.

"Yeah. Tasha sent him a letter and I got pissed. I let him walk me to the prison and kind of locked him in there." My parents looked at me for a minute before my dad shook his head.

"Why did you do that?" he asked and I rolled my eyes.

"He wasn't going to let me go on my own. I am not about to let him do something as stupid as come with me." I growled and he simply smiled. "You know, I hate you sometime."

"I know you just want him safe but you can't just take off. You're pregnant and this is the second time you have put him through this." my mom was straight and to the point and I couldn't help but feel bad.

"I know, but both times were for his sake. It's not like I'm going to bars and sleeping with a bunch of random strangers." I growled and started to stand up but my dad stopped me.

"We're just worried about you, Rose. You seem be more reckless now that your pregnant. Which isn't very smart." I rolled my eyes but he laughed. Mom reached over and punched him in the shoulder.

"We just don't want to see you or this baby hurt." I smiled and put my hands on my stomach, placing them over where the baby was kicking.

"I know. But something has to be done about Tasha and Robert." I told them and Abe smiled.

"Come back to the hotel with us and we'll discuss this more." he looked around at some people who were standing around the small deli. I shrugged and followed them out.

I yawned lightly before looking back down at the map that was in front of me. The same map that I had been looking at for three days. I marked yet another place off the list that I knew she wouldn't go.

"Did you sleep any?" Lissa asked as Christian set a cup of black coffee in front of me. I took a drink of it before answering her.

"No, not yet." I looked back down at the map and looked up at New York. Would she really go there though?

"At least you shower." Christian joked, trying to make the situation a little lighter. I smiled before looking back down at the map.

I finally closed the book that the map was in and threw it across the room. I sat down and put my face in my hands. "This is hopeless."

"Dimitri, she'll turn up sooner or later." Lissa put an arm on my shoulder. Christian smirked.

"Rose is a mean little bitch. You're not going to find her unless she wants to be found." I heard the door open and close behind me but didn't look up.

"She's with her parents." Adrian's voice was the last thing I expected to hear. I turned around and glared at him.

"She called you?" I couldn't keep the irritation out of my voice and looked back down at the table.

"You need some sleep and no. I pulled her into a spirit dream and asked if she was ok." I relaxed a little before looking back up at him.

"Did she say where she was?" I asked and he shook his head.

"She said to tell you guys not to worry. That she's fine and so is the baby. She also said to tell you specifically to go your ass to bed and quit worrying so much." I smiled and Lissa and Christian laughed. So like Rose. Worry about someone else first before even thinking about herself.

I took her advice though and crawled into bed, not even bothering to strip down, before crashing. I dreamed of her and what our baby would look like.

~RPOV~

"Mom, how many times are you going to tell me I'm an idiot before you realize that I know this?" I asked. I'd told her about my plan to find Robert and how I'd locked Dimitri in the cell. I left out the details of the blowjob I'd given him before locking him up but smiling at the thought of it.

"You fought to keep him and you have left him. Not once, but twice. Rose, your pregnant. He needs you there and you, running off to find the very person who wants to kill you is extremely stupid." She said and I rolled my eyes. Abe stayed quiet as he listened and I couldn't but laugh.

"Ibrahim tell your daughter that this is serious." She growled and he held up his hands in surrender.

"Rose, what your mother is trying to say is that you're a guardian but you boyfriend, who loves you very much, is the one you should be with. I understand the want to keep him safe but do you honestly think you can do this on your own?" he asked and I glared at him.

"What the fuck is that supposed to mean? That now that I'm pregnant I can't handle myself?" I stood up and my baby kicked, reminding me that I couldn't get too angry for his or her sake.

"No. It's late. We'll talk about this more in the morning. Go get some sleep and don't even think about sneaking out of the house. We're both light sleepers." My mom said and I rolled my eyes.

I walked into the small room they had and crawled into the bed. My thoughts went to Dimitri and I hoped Adrian wouldn't pull me into another spirit dream but in a way I wished he would. I wished that me and Lissa still had the bond. It was irritating not knowing if they were all safe and I needed to know if her and Dimitri were ok.

My baby kicked against my hand and I smiled. "You're your father's child. Comforting and energetic." I laid back on my bed and closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

I was right though. I was pulled into a spirit dream but as I turned to tell Adrian hi I realized Adrian wasn't the one who had pulled me into the dream. Robert had and he was standing with Tasha by his side.

*** I hope you guys are still loving the story. the reason I haven't been able to update in a while is because my dad had a heart attack two weeks ago and we have been in the hospital ever day since. between that and school I haven't been able to update. but I will try and update more often now that he is doing better. R&R and I love you guys and thank you for all the awesome reviews!
