I felt time I was floating on a pool of black emotion. They weren't mine, and I didn't know where they were coming from. But I felt them all as I drifted through the endless abyss. "Rose! Rose!" I heard Dimitri but I couldn't respond. "Roza!" Light started pouring in all around me and suddenly I was back in the hospital room. Dimitri hugged me so tight it almost hurt. "Your breathing was so shallow, and your eyes, they, you looked..." Dimitri didn't finish. That peppy doctor looked grave and addressed me hesitantly.

"Rose, has that ever happened before?" I didn't really know how to answer her because I don't know what happened. I turned to Dimitri. "What did my eyes look like." Dimitri looked, scared?

"Bright green, but then the turned black until they turned to brown."

"It's the bond they turn green when I'm pulled into Lissa's head, but I don't know why they would turn black. I couldn't see anything I just felt like I was floating in a pool of nothingness." I ended up saying that more to sort my own thoughts but the doctor found this quite helpful.

"Ms Hathaway I would suggest you find a way to separate yourself from Lissa's mind for the rest of your pregnancy. Lissa. That didn't happen for no reason.

"I NEED TO SEE LISSA NOW!" Dimitri quickly sat me back down and I felt my head spin from the sudden jump.

"Rose, I will not let you leave this office till we fix this." He was speaking with a forced patience.

"Let me help myself by helping Lissa." I made weak attempt to get up again but Dimitri stopped me again. This time he rested his hand on my swollen belly and left it there.

"Roza, please." He pulled his hand away slowly and my mother chimed in.

"You wouldn't want to see her anyways." She's a bit of a mess right now.

"NO, I want to know why she's drinking with Adrian. What is making her do this." I was crying. The peppy doctor looked at my mother.

"Make another appointment for a week from now. She can go home, all she can do to help herself is rest. No stress."

The next week was anything but stress free. When I returned to my townhouse I could barely walk and Dimitri had to half carry me inside. Sitting in my living room I found some familiar faces I was not expecting. Lissa sat leaning against Christian, she looked like she had been crying and was clearly hungover. Her hair was a mess and the circles under he eyes were so dark.

Christian looked as unreadable as ever as he strokes Lissa's hair.

Sitting across was Adrian who was surprisingly sober. His hair was a mess but he looked focused. Next to him I was surprised to see my father sitting with a blonde girl who looked about my age. She was probably a dhampir, but she had a golden lily tattooed onto the side of her face. She looked terrified.

My father nudged the girl when he saw me and she looked like she just saw a ghost. She spoke hesitantly. "My name is Sydney Sage, I am an alchemist who has been sent here to document your pregnancy." Dimitri stepped in front of me completely blocking my view.

"Get out! None of your people are going to put a hand on her." My father pounded his cane on the floor.

"Belikov, calm down this young lady was chosen by me. I did her a um favor and I am going to make sure she tells her organization exactly what I want them to." Dimitri didn't relax, but I peer to the side and seen the poor girl looked like she wanted to bolt. Why, what could my father have possibly done to the poor girl. I walked past Dimitri up to Sydney. I extended my hand

"Rose Hathaway, nice to meet you." She didn't take my hand so I dropped it to my side. "Sorry about whatever my old man did" I said pointing at my father hoping to ease the tension. Nothing. "So what's an alchemist?" Dimitri groaned.

"How did you ever graduate, they are the humans who hide the vampire world from other humans. What they want with you I have no idea."

"I knew that." I said sarcastically. "I meant why are they here." Dimitri just shook his head.

I turned back around. The blonde girl took a second to chose her words.

While going through medical documents for sorting we came across your file and have studied you case because it's prior impossibility. My people wanted me to take a DNA test to prove or disprove your case."

"And that's were I come in." Adrian stood up from his spot on the couch and made a big show of it. "Your old man wants my venom mixed with Dimtiri's blood to make him a DNA match and also look like he's a Moroi." He walked over and put his hand on my shoulder and I quickly pushed it away. "Alright, I deserve that. You give your blood and when the REAL little dhampir arrives she can take some of his."

"No, no your not touching, no." Dimitri grabbed my hand from behind and pulled me toward him.

"Roza, it's okay." Although he wasn't agreeing or disagreeing with me I felt a little better. "How do we know this is going to work."

"Because the only thing in Moroi blood that makes them different from dhampirs if magic. Since her people believe magic is unholy and we are creatures of the night, they only look at the science part of it. The endorphins that are in there blood for when the feed are the only thing alchemist look for. If they found that in Dimitri's blood they wouldn't question you anymore." My father was pacing the floor after he spoke. I had to admit it made sense but it still made me uneasy. Now Christian joined in, he sat Lissa up and cleared his throat.

"Sydney has to stay and monitor you thought, she's going to be living in the sparer ohm up stairs in our townhouse."

I didn't say yes or no I just walked over to the couch and sat on the other side of Lissa. I pulled her toward me. She croaked out, "I'm sorry." Before she silently cried onto my shoulder. Slowly everyone started to leave the living room. First my mother and father left with the alchemist and a few suit cases.

Then Adrian and Christian soon followed. Dimitri sat in an arm chair in the corner and watched me. He was thinking, turning things over in his mind. He was troubling himself over something. When Lissa's breathing slow down again I turned her too me. "Why did you start to drink?"
