I woke up suddenly. I felt like I only got to sleep for a few minutes before I noticed the sun was beginning to set. No I got up panicked. "Shit, did I miss the flight!?"

Lissa walked out of her bathroom with a slight look of concern on her face. Seeing her eased my panic a little. "Don't worry, Christian, Adrian, and Eddie took our stuff to the truck and said that they would text me when we needed to leave." She seemed to tense a little before continuing in a more hushed tone. "Adrian said you needed rest after what happened today, are you sure you can make the flight I can wait with you until you feel better. Or I can…" I cut her off.

"No I'm fine, honestly I feel much better after that nap." That wasn't entirely true I still felt a tired but I wasn't nauseous anymore. "I can eat something on the plane and nap some more if I need to." I could tell she wasn't very happy with that response but she waved it off and grabbed my hand.

"Come on then we have to make you look nice Tasha and Adrian's mother are going to get us at the airport." I was not too excited about that but let her finish anyways. "Were spending one night in Christian's town house when we get there. Our furniture is being assembled and our boxes won't get there till tomorrow afternoon."

Okay I really didn't like that but I still never said anything. Lissa stood up and went over to the shelf in the wall. She grabbed he a small picture frame and her phone. She was about to say something to me but her phone buzzed. I stood up and felt and little wobbly but Lissa didn't notice. She looked at the picture frame and then back at me. Lissa looked around the room one more time and began to head toward the door I walked ahead of her as she locked the door. I wanted to think of something to say but I didn't have to.

"Rose, what do you want to do tomorrow? I know you don't want to sit in Christian's house all day." I had no idea. So I shrugged my shoulders and kept walking next to her. I began to think of all the things I have been doing over the past year. I was brought back to the academy a little under a year ago and couldn't believe what has happened since then. I was deep in thought when Lissa grabbed my arm.

"Rose what has gotten in to you almost walked into that wall!" I quickly realized there was a wall with a painting of St. Vladimir's Guardian Anna right in front of me.

"I-I -I'm sorry" I mumbled. Lissa looked at me wearily. I was starting to hear her thoughts. 'I don't think you should...' I interrupted her thought "I'm fine the faster we get on that plane the faster I can take a nap I promise I'm okay." I felt bad I was using that same bitchy tone I had I used with Christian earlier that day. "Sorry Lissa, I just didn't sleep much last night." It was a lie but I didn't want to tell her about the pregnancy test until we got to court.

She gave me a small hug and we walked outside where we were greeted by Christian and Adrian. Christian said to everyone. "We have to hurry guys the want the plane to take off before sundown." Lissa and Christian got in the black van first. I was about to get in but Adrian grabbed my arm. I turned around and he just looked at me, He opened his mouth like was about to say something but he didn't. Adrian let my arm go and gestured for me to get in the van. I got in and was glad to see our driver was Eddie. I punched his shoulder and stuck out my tongue before I sat down quietly. At least I knew one of the guardians coming with us.

I fell asleep again on the way to the airport and started to wake up when I heard the van door slide open. Adrian's voice was quiet when he spoke. "Little Dhampir, you don't need to wake up Eddie said he can carry you to the plane." The offer was tempting but I rubbed my eyes and got out of the van. The plane was small but it was only for six of us however I still didn't know who the other guardian was going to be. Lissa and Christian were in the plane before I even got out of the car. Adrian put his arm around my shoulder as we walked down the runway toward the plane. I was drifting away again but Adrian squeezed my shoulder and asked.

"So whose is it?" It took me a moment to comprehend his question, the horrified look on my face must have confirmed any suspicions he had. "Don't worry the other two don't know, but they're going to figure it out soon." I stared at him for a while before I croaked.

"How did you-I mean- how…" he cut me off

"When I saw you earlier your aura was so strange even for you and then I saw you throw up and how tired you got and then." He stopped. I pulled on his arm so he would stop walking. He hesitated "and then Lissa told Christian how out of it you were, and how unlike you that is. She was worried you might be letting him hurt you again." By 'him' Adrian meant Dimitri leaving me. "The idea came to me while you were asleep in the car, but the look on your face confirms it." He pause and looked at me for a second. I was speechless.

I felt my eyes burn like I was about to start crying. I saw Adrian's calm expression harden. "He was the only one you ever… so you don't know how." He stopped walking and pulled my frozen body into a hug. He whispered into my ear. "Little dhampir, it will be alright we can figure it out once we get to court." I couldn't help it I started to cry. Adrian pulled away and wiped my face but I couldn't stop. "Well then, let's get you into the plane so we can clean you up."

Adrian put his arm around my shoulder again just as Eddie ran up next to me. "So are you guys…" he stopped. "Rose what's wrong.

"It's okay, I-I'll tell you g-guys once we take off." If we wanted to get out of here before the sun went down we had to be in the air in the next twenty minutes. Eddie regained his composure as we approached the stairs. Adrian told me to go ahead of him, so I slowly walked up toward the door only now realizing how much I dreaded telling Lyssa. I would never get to be her guardian if I was pregnant.
