Christian was standing right behind me, starting right at the spot that magically combust a second ago. He snuck up on me and I nearly screamed. Three of the strigoi dropped to the ground and burned into nothingness. The other two backed away quick enough though and looked absolutely furious.

They charged the house carefully avoiding the flames. They both climbed the gutter and jumped onto the window ledge at the same time. Dimitri and my mother managed to stake one of them and it fell the floor with a loud thud. The other one had made it into my room. I felt nausea overwhelming all of my senses as the strigoi glared at me. My mother was leading Christian back into the bathroom and Dimtiri was getting up from the floor. The strigoi lunged toward me, and I tried to dive away but he slammed into my shoulder and pinned me to the ground. Dimtiri was swiping the strigoi trying to get its attention. I think he was hurt because his right arm was flying around aimlessly.

Then it bit me, I could see anything. I was swallowed into a hazy existence. I felt happy, I didn't want it to go away. The fangs in my neck were welcomed. I silently begged for this to never end. My high was short lived however. I seen the world slowly come back into focus. I seen Dimitri and the strigoi fighting. Dimitri was almost a match but was finally overcome and thrown toward the wall.

My mother came in and used her whole body to shove the strigoi off me. As she held him down Dimtiri staked him and the stogoi went limp. Dimitri tried to pull himself up but he lay on the floor holding his arm clearly trying to present himself as better than he really is. My mother came over to me and I couldn't read her expression. "Rose your bleeding again, you can't fall asleep." I simple command I was having a hard time listening to.

Dimitri had managed to sit himself up against the bed. Everyone came out of the bathroom, hesitantly. Sydney went over to Dimitri and told him to hold still. She looked at his lifeless arm and then jerked or in an unnatural direction. Dimitri grunted, swearing in Russian under his breath. The then went and got a towel from the bathroom. She made a makeshift sling and placed Dimitri's arm into it.

I was so busy watching that, I didn't even notice Adrian, Lissa, Christian, and my parents leaning over me until I felt someone take my hand. Adrian, he was healing me. I wanted to pull away but I couldn't, I found myself stuck still dazed in the high of endorphins. The gash that was reopened on my arm faded to nothing and the burning on my neck went away. I knew Adrain would pay for that later. Dimitri sat next to me, and with the help of almost everyone I managed to sit too.

About five minutes later the big group of guardians came into my room taking everyone except Dimitri and I away. Dimitri insisted over and over he was fine but he was brought to the hospital with me. I still felt very faint from what I assumed was blood loss. In the ambulance I heard one of the doctors taking to Dimitri about me still bleeding. I didn't get it though I was sure Adrian had healed everything. The ENT said something about my IV before I fell asleep.

When I woke up I was in a painfully sterile, white room. A hospital bed, again. Dimitri was sitting in an arm chair in the corner of the room with a much sturdier looking cast. He smiled when he seen me looking at him. He got up and came to the side of my bed. He pointed to the window and once again the sun was up, I will never have a normal sleep schedule. I turned slightly to face him more and my whole lower half felt like it was on fire. "OOOHHWW!" I lay back down and the pain slowly started to ease off. "What the fuck!"

Dimitri looked at me, his expression completely dropped. "You were bleeding, the doctors were afraid you might miscarry because of the stress and blood loss. First they numbed you to prevent you muscles from starting to contract. Then cleaned you and then they added this dissolving pin to basically keep you from doing something you don't want to. I don't know what it really does but you can't move until it completely dissolves. I'm sorry, I didn't know it would hurt you." I took his hand and exhaled loudly. I placed my hand on my belly and rubbed it.

"Looks like you're going to have another rogue Dhampir to look after." I trailed off at the that thought. A while later I blurted out. "Is it a dhampir!" I said it with a lot more force then I intended. "Sorry, um, is the baby going to be a dhampir?" Dimitri looked at me for a while

"Why wouldn't a baby that came from two dhampirs be anything else?"

"No, no, no that's not what I mean, of course it's yours but, but this has never happened before. What if?" Dimtiri squeezed my hand and I shut up my rambling all at once. He pushed the hair out of my face, laughing at me.

"Oh Roza, you worry about the wrong things my dear." A nurse came in with a tray.

"Ms. Hathaway, good to see your awake. Guardian Belikov, some people are waiting for you in the lobby." Dimitri kissed me on the forehead and then left. I ate the food they gave me. I didn't feel nausea at all but at the same time I wanted to ejected every bite I put into my mouth. When the nurse came back in I asked if she could see if Dimitri was still in the waiting area. She said she would bring him back if she seen him. About ten minutes later the nurse came back with Dimitri, a doctor and Adrian. Not the first person I would have thought to come visit me but I was happy to see him anyways.

Dimitri sped up when he seen me and got all worried asking if I was okay. I laughed at him now and mocked his earlier comment. "You worry about the wrong things my dear." The doctor came up to me.

"Ms. Hathaway, I know you know Mr. Ivashkov here so no need to introduce you." The doctor was a Moroi women maybe in here thirties. She had very pretty hair that reminded me of Lissa. Why hadn't I seen her yet. "Adrian has agreed to take the medications for his bipolar disorder, on the condition he can use spirit to heal you one last time." She has got to be joking. I laughed but no one else did. I looked at Adrian in total disbelief.

"After everything you've seen me go through with Lissa you're going to make me do this, you going to force me let you heal me, when I don't even need it. Are you serious!" Now I was angry with him all over again. I did not need this right now. Whatever my fave showed it looked like, Dimitri's was definitely way worse. I didn't want to let him heal me but I also wanted to see him on medications that could help him. He knew that, Adrian was not that stupid. "No, the doctors have already fixed me all up, there is nothing left for you to do." I glared at him. "Except take your meds." I finished smugly.

Adrian looked at Dimtiri. "What have you told our little dhampir?" Dimitri took my hand again.

"Everything she needs to know." I looked at Dimitri in disbelief.

"What are you hiding from me?!" I ripped my hand away and tried to not show how much pain it caused me. Dimitri looked at me and once again he looked sad and desperate like he had earlier. "Dimitri, please." I wasn't angry anymore, I just wanted to make him feel better again. No matter how stupid it sounded. Dimitri took my hand again and cleared his throat.

"I'll let the doctor tell you exactly what she told me. Im sorry Rosa, I just wanted to let you relax." The doctor stepped closer and and began telling me everything else about the pin and how it dissolves. Then she told me I may have a Placental abruption if I don't get proper bed rest and lower my blood pressure. I know I was stressed and who could blame me but the whole bed rest thing was exactly what I didn't want to hear.

"What is placental abruption?" I didn't want to sound stupid and I could guess but I wasn't sure. The doctor smiled at me.

"Don't worry it hasn't happened yet, it's when you placenta tears off. It can cause premature delivery or miscarriage. It is a serious problem that can occur when mothers let there blood pressure get as high as yours. I don't know yet because we can't give you an MRI until you pin is dissolved, but I believe part of it may have already torn." She paused for a second. "Until we know for sure and we see an improvement in your blood pressure we are going to have you spend probably a few days to a week here." God, was I going to get a break. I found myself at a loss for words.

"Okay, thanks." I starter fidgeting my fingers trying to not move anywhere that would hurt.

"I'll be back in a few hours to check on your pin. It won't be more than a few hours til it's completely gone. Now Mr. Ivashkov, does your offer still stand. I cannot make you take the medication but I strongly suggest you do." With that the doctor left the room saying something about five minutes with the nurse in tow.

"Adrian, you are not seriously going to make me chose between the two are you? You heard the lady no more stress." Adrian shook his head, I didn't like the look on his face.

"Little Dhampir, we both are holding something up to stop the other from doing what's good for them. You want me to go on the meds and I want you to stop getting you and your little demon child into trouble." He sounded like he wanted to laugh like what he just said was a funny joke.

"No, I can heal on my own. I can protect my baby all on my own. I don't care if you take those pills, I hope you go insane so they'll lock you up and I'll never have to see you again." I wanted to choke him but the slightest movement was going to hurt and I was close to crying. I felt Dimitri's grip on my hand tighten.

"Adrian leave, I'll come get you if she'll do it, but you should leave." Adrian looked between the two of us a few times and then left. Dimitri looked like he wanted to talk to me, but he stood with me in silence. I just started to cry.
