Dimitri's POV
Tasha and I arrived and court and headed to the hotel we would be staying at. I was summoned back here because of the number of Strigoi attacks around court. All this time I've been with Tasha I've been thinking of Rose. My sweet and feisty Roza. I regret nothing more than I regret leaving her that night. I had to though. Someone had found out about us and they were blackmailing me. I was receiving threating texts saying leave or they'll tell Guardian Petrov. After resisting for a week or so I left. I couldn't risk Roza's future.
"Dimika I'll be in the shower then I have a few errands to run," Tasha said.
"Okay, I'll be with Hans," I left before she could try to kiss me. Tasha is a friend of mine, she's also my charge, but she wants there to be more between us and I only love Roza.
I walked swiftly to Guardian Hans's office. I was wondering why exactly I was chosen to be brought here. When I got there I heard him on the phone. I could only hear bits of the other person but I knew that voice. He was talking to Roza and she sounded upset.
"I'm sorry, Sir,…won't be in for…days," I heard Roza's sad voice say.
"She's in the hospital?" Hans asked. I didn't hear Roza's response but it wasn't good. "Give her my best and tell her Uncle Hans hopes to see her soon," Hans said.
"I will," Roza sobbed.
I started running. I hadn't even realized it until I was near the hospital at court. I kept going until I was inside. I saw Princess Dragimor walking inside with Lord Ozera. I knew they were married. Being Tasha's guardian meant I attended the wedding. What I didn't know was they had started a family. The Princess was holding a sleeping baby girl and her husband a sleeping toddler. I walked over to them hoping they knew what was wrong with Roza.
"Hello Princess. Do you know what's wrong with Rose?" I asked.
Lissa's POV
I fumbled my sleeping daughter when Dimitri came up to us asking about Rose. Where did he come from? How much does he know? I didn't want to answer him in case I let something slip. Besides he has no right to know after what he did to Rose. Leaving her pregnant and not answering any of her calls. What an ass.
"What do you mean? Something happened to Rose?" Christian asked. Dimitri looked confused Christian's plan was working until Rose came over here.
"Hey guys her rooms this way," she said and walked off. I guess she hadn't seen Dimitri because if she had she wouldn't be this calm.
I adjusted Emily into a more comfortable then followed Rose.
'Dimitri's here,' I said into her head. Rose stopped abruptly and I almost ran into her. She shot me an almost pleading glance. Begging me to tell her I was playing some sick joke on her. I shook my head. I would never do that. Rose let out a huge sigh and kept walking.
We walking into Katie's room and I almost started crying right there. She looked terrible. She was sickly pale and had dark circles under her eyes. Her dark hair, the same color as Rose's, had something sticky in had a pot next to her bed and in it was blood. Adrian was sitting next to her holding her hand. She was asleep but still holding his hand with a death grip.
Rose's POV
It hurt so much to see my angel in pain. She was finally asleep but you could tell she was still hurting. Everyone followed me into her room. I saw shock and fear cross everyone's face. I walked over to her bed and looked down at her. My baby looked like she was dying. She had fallen asleep clutching her stomach in pain. The doctors didn't know why it was hurting her so much. Their theory was since her blood wasn't clotting at all she was drastically losing blood which could cause her internal organs to shut down. They said if they didn't fix this in the next 24 hours my baby would die. I had to speak to Dimitri about his family medical history.
I walked over to Lissa and told her Dimitri and I had to talk and if Katie woke up to tell me. "Dimitri, we need to speak in the hall." I said curtly.
"Dimitri," I said. Now that we were here I couldn't think of what to say. I've been avoiding this for three years. I tried calling him when I found out I was pregnant but every call went to voicemail. "Dimitri has you family ever had any heart problems?" I asked.
"What why, Roza?" he asked confused.
"Just answer me it's extremely important," I said through clenched teeth.
"I really don't see how that's important at all. Who is she in the bed, Roza?" he asked.
"Stop calling me that. She's none of your concern. Just answer my question," I said getting annoyed now.
"What is going on here, Rose? Why were you talking about Hans saying you weren't coming into work? Why did Hans call himself Uncle Hans? Why do you want my family's medical history?" Dimitri practically yelled. I flinched he never used that tone with me.
"All you need to know is that girl is dying and you can save her life but right now you're being to selfish and pigheaded to do so!" I screamed. I was crying silently and swiping furiously at my tears.
"I don't understand, Rose. What's going on?" he asked.
I was about to answer him when Lissa yelled, "Katie's awake!" I swiped my final tears away then ran into my sick daughter's room.
"Mamma," she cried the erupted in a fit of coughing. I knew Dimitri heard everything she just said but that wasn't my concern right now. I ran up to her side and held the bowl in front of her as she coughed up more blood. I rubbed her back soothingly until she collapsed back onto the bed. "Mamma, I hurt," she started crying in earnest now.
"Oh, baby," I whispered. I sat down next to her and pulled her into my lap. "It's okay, momma's here. The doctors are going to make you good as new," I said.
"Rose," Dimitri's heavy Russian accented voice said, "I don't know why you need to know this but no. There are no heart problems in my family." I almost cried with relief. My baby can have her surgery, she can get better.
A/N A happy ending for this chap. But stick around more drama still to come. Review please I'd love to know what you guys think. Thanks guys.
