I hit the ground as Rose's boot connected with her face and I felt a glimmer of hope at seeing she was ok. I saw Robert running at her and went to go after them when I felt my oxygen cut off. I fell to the floor and started gasping for air. I saw Lorraine hit the floor with a bit of blood coming from her head and saw Janine standing over her. I nodded my thanks as I felt the air return to my lungs.
I started to run toward the door where Rose had gone through only a few moments ago, but a wall of fire blocked the door. I turned to see Tasha, bloody and angry, her gaze fixed on me. Abe and Janine started to run to us but were cut off as a wall of fire blocked their path to us.
"Tasha, please. Don't make me hurt you." I growled as I pulled the silver stake from the sheath in my belt. She rolled her eyes.
"You've already hurt me. You can't seem to keep a woman safe. Your mother, me, Rose. We've all been hurt and you didn't do anything until it was too late." Her blue eyes glowed with anger and then under that I could see hurt.
"Tasha, things aren't meant to be between you and me. I love her and I would've gladly stayed friends if you would have let me." I growled but tried to keep my temper intact. I saw Lorraine get up and Janine lunged at her, whereas Abe was nowhere to be seen.
"How could you tell me to be friends with you, when you are the only thing that matters to me? If you had chosen me instead of Rose, none of this would be happening. You would've never been turned, Rose wouldn't have been hurt, and Tatiana would still be alive. All this pain and suffering comes down to your decisions." I felt a slight pain in my heart as I realized she was right but I covered it up.
"I made my choices and you made yours. I don't regret anything I have been through and I don't regret choosing Rose." I growled and heard the truth in my words. If we lived through this, I was definitely going to have to start making some better decisions for Rose and our baby.
She smiled before the flames started moving closer to us and I felt heat on my back and my vision started to cloud a bit from the heat. I had to do something quick so I lunged at her. She moved quickly but my stake hit her ribs. She screamed in pain and fire filled her hands as she put her hands on my ribs and I got the other side of hers before the heat put me on the ground.
I felt weight on my body as I saw her straddle me and pin my wrist with her hands. She leaned over me and smiled. "At least I know this is the last you'll ever have." I was about to tell her to go to hell, when she pressed her lips to mine. A small burn started in my lungs and then started subtly growing until I started seeing shapes again.
Then they were gone. So was Tasha. I coughed as I got on my knees and when I looked to Tasha I saw a silver stake in her back. "Well I had to give her some mercy. Rose, wouldn't have." I looked up and was met with Abe's smirk. I pulled myself to my feet and looked around again, trying to find Rose.
"Where is she?" I asked as he pulled the stake from Tasha's lifeless corpse.
"They can't be far." Janine answered and though she was bloodied and bruised, she'd won. Lorraine lay motionless on the floor with a stake in her throat. I shook my head at the loss but they'd made their choice. A scream pulled me back to our present situation. Not just any scream, but Rose's scream.
I ran off in the direction of the noise, followed by Abe and Janine.

I hit Robert across the face and heard a slight crack as my fist made contact with his jaw. I pulled the knife from my leg and dropped it to the floor. I tore my shirt and wrapped it around my leg to stop the bleeding. I got to my feet and put a hand over my stomach protectively as I reached for the gun in my belt. It may not kill him but it would slow him down for a bit.
I went to aim it when I was knocked back to the floor. I started kicking, not really caring where I hit and bit into his wrist. He growled at the pain and slapped me. I turned to hit him again when I saw he had the knife pointed directly at my stomach, the edge slightly digging into my skin.
"I'm going to make you suffer, just like you made me. I would've preferred to drag this out a little longer but I guess we can't do that now can we?" he asked and slight spark of insanity was in his eyes. He'd truly lost it.
"Sorry to ruin you plans." I growled and felt the knife dig in a little further. He moved his hand up to cup my face softly.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of your baby." he said and raised the knife to my throat. "Any last words?"
I swallowed my fear and glared at him. "Yeah, go fuck yourself." He raised the knife and I closed my eyes waiting for the impact.
But it didn't come instead a gunshot did. I opened my eyes to see the knife was gone and it hit the ground right next to my head. Robert turned to the noise and I grabbed the knife and pushed it into his heart. He struggled as I pushed it in deeper, until he finally stopped and fell to the side.
I lay there for a minute and stared at him, when I felt someone smash their lips against mine. I didn't have to wonder who's they were instead I kissed him back. Dimitri had come for me and this was over. He pulled me to him closely and I tangled my hands in his hair.
He pulled away enough that I could still feel his breath when he said "I love you, Roza." I kissed him again and repeated the words to him.
"Kids, can you continue this after we get back to court." I turned my head to see Abe's smug expression and my mother's relieved look.
"Fuck off." I got off the floor and pulled Dimitri with me. I smiled at him and kissed him again. Our passionate kiss started to turn into more when I pulled away. He looked at me confused and then looked down and realized why I'd pulled away.
My water had broken.
