IM SORRY BUT IM NOT GOING TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO UPDATE EVERYDAY :( I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF SOMETHING BEFORE I CAN GO BACK TO THAT SCHEDULE. HOPEFULLY I CAN HAVE 4 CHAPTERS A WEEK BUT ILL DO AT LEAST 2. SORRY

ENJOY

I got into the car slowly. I didn't really want to set off Dimitri. I tried to distract him from whatever had made him upset.

"Eight weeks down, thirty to go." I tried to sound excited but that didn't help at all. The car was running but I don't think Dimitri wanted to leave any time soon. I closed the passenger side door and put on my seat belt.

"Why Roza? Why would you let him do that?" I didn't answer him. "What would have happened if I wasn't there? You can kill an undead vampire like it nothing but you can't tell a man no." He was right. I was always used to attention from men, but no one has ever touched me or forced me into doing something I didn't want to.

"I don't know, okay." I said that a little harsher than I wanted to. "I screwed up again. I probably would have punched him if he did something really bad."

"No, you can't do that. You know what kind of reputation you would get if someone knew about that. It's going to be hard enough for you, when people find out about the baby. Don't let yourself get into that situation." He stopped and then continued with a calmer tone. "Promise me Roza that you won't just sit there if someone tries to do anything to you." I nodded. I was afraid if tried to say anything I would give myself away. Dimitri started the car and pulled out of the parking lot.

Dimitri was right, I would get shunned and called a blood whore if I didn't do anything. I putted the visor down and looked at my neck in the mirror. The burns were almost gone. All that was left was a faint redness in my skin. I was pretty impressed. I didn't feel the stiffness anymore. I leaned back into the chair and felt myself falling asleep, again.

I was woke up when I felt myself being shaken. Dimitri was sitting in the drivers with his seat belt off and door open. He was pushing on my shoulder quietly telling me to wake up. I felt a little dazed for a moment and then realized where we were. Guardian headquarters.

I took off my seatbelt.

"Come on Roza, I just have to turn in something. It's too hot for you to stay in the car." He kept calling me Roza today. And I don't know if I like it. I had forgiven him but I just want him to be my friend right now. I don't think I could handle having him as a romantic interest anytime soon. I got out of the car and followed him inside.

I saw Mia sitting behind the front desk. She didn't notice me at first, but once Dimitri walked into the back room she looked up at me.

"Rose, I'm so glad to see you. I didn't get a chance to talk to you last night. Eddie told me how you almost killed Guardian Belikov with a screw driver though and what Lady Ozera did you. Oh Sorry, sorry." I think my overwhelmed expression told her I wasn't really keeping up. "Are you okay?" I debated for a moment weather or not I should tell her I was pregnant but decided it wasn't a very appropriate time. Dimitri came back into the lobby with Eddie. I went over and gave Eddie a hug.

"Are you okay Rose, I mean you a lot better than you did last night. I'm pretty sure most people don't have holes burnt into their throat." I punched him in the arm. The thought of that made me nauseous. Eddies expression changed to a slight look of worry. "Are you okay?" I didn't realize my hand was on my flat stomach.

"Fine, fine. Same old same old." Eddie relaxed a little. "Do you want to come see the house after work?"

"I would have to go home before so I could get there at seven maybe." I smiled at him.

"That would be great." I leaned over the front desk. "Want to come too, Mia?" She finished typing something.

"I would love…" The phone rang. "Sorry got to get this." I held up the number seven and mouthed seven o'clock. She nodded and waved goodbye. Dimitri handed a folded piece of paper to Eddie and gave him a nod. Then he looked at me.

"All done here." I gave Eddie another small hug.

"Seven o'clock" I tried to see what was on the paper but I couldn't. I followed Dimitri back to the car. I was about to open the door.

"Rose." I looked at him. "Do you know how to drive?"

"No." He didn't say anything more, he just go into the car. I picked up my phone. I looked at the screen, no new notifications. I texted Lissa.

'Eddie and Mia are coming over tonight. Can you ask Pyro to make Dinner for all of us? Thanks'

'And Adrian' I never asked him but I knew he would. I opened his contact information and texted him.

'Were having dinner tonight at seven, please come.' I wasn't expecting and immediate response from him so I was surprised to see him typing as soon as the message was delivered.

'Of course, Is this a…'

'all ages party?' I rolled my eyes.

'If you really must, you can bring your own drinks'

He sent me a little party emoji and I tuned or my phone. I sighed. "Why am I always so tired?" I didn't realize I said that out loud until Dimitri answer.

"Because there's a baby inside of you." He reached into the back of the van a grabbed a backpack. "I guess you would rather sleep than use this." I looked into the backpack and saw my workout gear and some sweats.

"What about you?" He pulled on his duster to reveal a t-shirt and sweats. I was almost certain he wasn't wearing those earlier. "Alright, I guess we have time." I tried not to sound to excited.

We drove to the gym in silence.

Our workout was short and not very difficult. Dimitri refused to let me do anything he deemed too intense. I was glad he wanted to help, but if he was this restraining all the time I was going to go insane. After we changed. We went into the car and drove back to the townhouse.

PLEASE REVIEW XOXO
