Dimitri Point of View:

"I know it's impossible, but yes I am the father."

"She's my daughter, always doing the impossible."

"Ibrahim, you never talked to her, and you think you know her?"

"Well Janine, I have my sources. I found out a lot. I'm already proud to have a daughter who destroys school property, starting fights. I'm wondering what will come next. Blowing up the headmistress office?" It's hard to keep my Guardian mask on after what he said, he's right. What will come next? A prank on Guardian Alto?

"You're proud? I never heard of destroying school property. When was that? And how do you know that?"

"Long ago. Right before she and Vasilisa ran away. 2 and a half year or more. I read her school file. You didn't know I helped to get them back? I found out about Portland, the rest made the academy."

"That doesn't matter anymore," I point out "Rose made it trough her trials, these incidents are already forgotten. So any other questions?"

"I think it's enough now." says my Roza. Where did she come from? "Glad you're still with me Comrade." she grins. "So, Old man, I suppose you're the feared Zmey and my father? Can I ask you something first, please?"

"Old man? I'm not that old yet. Yes, what is it?"

"How the hell could you endure my mother?" I have a urge to roll my eyes, which I did, in the mean time it's typically Rose, but against her mother.

"It wasn't easy all the time." answered Zmey

Rose Point of View:

My father and my mother standing there next to me, realizing they had sex to get me. Gross. Why did this come to my mind now? I can't say much about him, but he sounds to be cool. I won't say anything about his look, golden earrings, golden chain, a black fedora, and a black pinstripe suite, black dress shirt underneath, to add his touch, he wore a lemon-yellow paisley tie. I'm wondering how he looks on other days, always pinstripes and fedoras? My mom and Dimitri are dressed in guardian suites, even though she's not on duty. All black. And for me, I still got my comfortable black legging jeans, almost black tank top, and a long sleeve shirt, to cover my small bump.

"So, Old man, are you really that feared in the moroi world? You don't seem to me to be feared in that world."

"How about finding out?"

"Ibrahim! No, don't give her any ideas!" exclaims my mother, but she should let him talk, I've got a brilliant idea. This man I'm talking about, won't be missed by anyone.

"I don't give her ideas, she has the Mazur fire in her since she was born. Am I right?"

"Unfortunately." says my mom.

"Hey, I'm not that bad, destroying school property was.. let's say, they were always in the way. Fighting with students, what should I do? I'm born to fight. Hamster and hermit-crab fight, to see who's stronger, hamster or hermit-crab. Breaking Mia Rinaldi's nose, she deserved it at that time."

"That's my daughter! Couldn't be any prouder. Hm, yes if you would blow up something as a Goodbye." He's really proud, I have a strange dad, every other father would have had an outburst, and he, he's proud. Strange, but cool.

"Kirova's Office? That would be a goodbye she would never forget."

"See Janine? She got the Mazur fire."

"I'm tired, can we catch up later maybe? Please."

"Sure." Abe and Janine are replying in unison. I drag Dimitri with me, but instead of going to my room, I take the lead to the infirmary.

"Everything alright? Why to the infirmary?"

"1. I want a check up, 2. we have an appointment. You're seeing your baby Comrade, and hear the heartbeat. You're in or out?" I grin at him like a child on Christmas. I am so ready to see our little miracle again, but I'm also nervous, what if there's no heartbeat anymore, if there's something wrong with our unborn child? I'm around 13 weeks pregnant now, if my math is correct, and I'm pretty sure I can remember the day I slept with Dimitri.

"I'm in. Totally." smiling at me. "Not the first ultrasound for you? I'm sorry I was a fool."

"You were, but you're here now."

Dimitri Point of View:

Looking at the screen, holding Roza's hand, and hearing the heartbeat. It's a perfect moment between us.

"It's beautiful, isn't it Comrade?" She's literally glowing when she's speaking about our baby.

And I still can't believe what I'm seeing on the little screen in front of us. I am speechless, he or she is currently sucking his thumb, so a small little angel, 2,3 inches and only 0.56oz can already do this. Wow. The world stops around me, there's only me and the little bean on screen.

"Comrade, you're still with us?"

"Hm? It is more than beautiful Roza." finally snapping out and hear her.

"I know. Our little miracle." she's looking at me, her hand now on my cheek and pulling my face to her. "The sexy Russian badass god has tears in his eyes, didn't expected that."

"The sexy Russian badass god?"

"Yup."

Dr. Olendzki Point of View:

When Rose and Dimitri came to the appointment together, I thought 'Okay, they are close, very close.' I mean everyone knows it. But I never expected him to be the father, he's a dhampir, she's a dhampir too. Now when I think about everything I saw, it's pretty obvious, to me at least. He never left her side, he stood up for her. I can still remember the attack, he got badly injured. She was heartbroken, it almost broke her too. She never left his side, for 3 days, even though Rose was also injured, not that bad. Princess Vasilisa had healed her, because Rose refused to get treated. The princess also tried to heal a few of Dimitri's injuries, a few got healed, not all, devastating. She could bring back Rose from the land of the death but she couldn't heal her Guardian. After, she was also weak, fed a lot this day, but she wanted to be there for her best friend. Vasilisa brought her something to eat and to drink for the 3 days. Rosemarie didn't slept, she looked like she didn't slept at all, didn't took a shower, her best friend brought her new clothes to wear, she put them on and immediately turned back again to guardian Belikov. If this isn't love?

Now they are in room 2, with an ultrasound. Looking at a little bean on the screen, for almost 10 minutes now. Lovesbirds. I need to go back, the next appointment is already waiting.

"Rose? Guardian Belikov? May I come in?" I ask quietly, I don't expect anybody to hear me.

"Yeah sure." I hear Rose's voice through the curtain, so I step in. What I see now aren't two guardians, or at least one guardian and a novice. A Loving couple, parents-to-be and happy about the fact. I saw a lot already since I work here. This is another level, like I would interrupt their privacy and their meeting with their child. I even feel uncomfortable being in the same room.

"Do you want some pictures of the ultrasound? If yes how many?"

"Yes please, is it possible to get 5? Please.. I know it's a lot." Rose literally begs, that's the first time she begs someone, the first time she begs me.

"Yes of course." I would even give her 10 pictures if she would want them. After a little while she gets the pictures from me, both saying goodbye and leave.

Dimitri Point of View:

"Why 5 pictures?" I ask Rose as we left the clinic and headed to her dorm.

"For my mom, Old man, one for Lissa. You and me." she grins at me. "I thought you maybe want a picture on your own? And bringing my mom and my dad one would maybe calm them down a bit, at least my mom, she's still pissed off but she doesn't show it. You know how Guardians are."

"What is that suppose to mean Roza? I show emotions."

"It took you long, and only with me." she smirks, but also my Rose looks like she's thinking about something "Dimitri, I want to go public. Why waiting? I'm eighteen, you're not my mentor anymore, soon the school will find out anyway. I'm ready."

Rose Point of View:

"You think? If you want, we can talk to Alberta. But even if we make us public, that doesn't mean we can walk around hand in hand, or kiss each other everywhere. I still work here until Lissa will graduate."

"I know what you mean, you're a respected guardian, and you don't want to lose that title. If we would make out everywhere and walking around hand in hand, they don't really respect you anymore, you're stamped as a lovesick. But I can steal kisses, I'm good at this."

"You're right, like always. More than good. I can still sneak into your room, or you into mine. There you can have as many kisses as you want."

"That's a deal."


4 Weeks later:

I'll finally get my promise mark today with all the other novices, they're having their trials right now, and I'm packing to leave with Dimitri and Lissa to Court. 4 weeks ago, Alberta told Dimitri and me to wait until my official graduation to go public. I'm still packing when I heard a knock on the door.

"Ready?"

"Hell yes I am. Oh uhm Lissa's waiting, she's coming with us. I promised her, she was with me when I had the first ultrasound." I know he's not pleased about the fact my best friend's coming with us, but I don't break my promises, never, at least not to Lissa and not to Dimitri. Yes it's an important appointment this time, so I want both with me, my best friend and the love of my life.

"Okay." I squeeze his hand and look up in his chocolate brown eyes, I could drown in them, they are so beautiful. It's been 4 weeks now, so we can go public, I take his hand, interlace our fingers. Even though I don't have my promise mark yet, but I don't care anymore. I mean what should they do now, suspend me? Kirova is glad that I'll be leaving soon, just like me. With our finger crossed together we're heading to the clinic where Lissa's already waiting, but with a few looks from moroi and even novices. In moments like this I wish I have a camera to capture their faces, they're priceless. I give them now 10 minutes until the rumors starts.

"Hey Liss, you're ready?"

"Yes, let's go." she's smiling and it also reaches her jade green eyes, I could feel through the bond how excited she is, almost more than Dimitri and I.

Fifteen minutes later I'm lying on the clinic bed, Dimitri is left from me, and Lissa right, both holding my hand, I wasn't that much excited before, but now I am. And nervous, like always, is my miracle alright? Still alive? Heartbeat stable? Dimitri pretty much always have the same look like me, he's also nervous and he's tensed, so much.

"You want to know the gender?" asks Dr. Olendzki, she puts cold gel on my belly, that always makes me shiver a bit, and starts. "First, your Baby is healthy, don't worry, growing normally, normal heartbeat. Everything's how it should be." I feel so relief right now. She also turns on the sound, there it is, loud and clear, the heartbeat, the best noise beside of Dimitri's smooth voice.

"Thank you. Happy to hear. Uh, yes please?" I look at Dimitri and at my best friend and both are agreeing with. I never talked to Dimitri about if he wants a girl or a boy, first of all, we want the baby to be healthy. Deep down I know he would want a boy, but would never admit it, like I would never admit, that I want a Mini version of me. I close my eyes and want to wait until the Doctor will say us the gender, doesn't happen. I feel joy, excitement, happiness and a lot more emotions through the bond, most importantly, all these feelings because she found already out what's the gender of the baby is. I turn my head to her and slowly open my eyes. I form the word Girl with my mouth, she nods while smiling brightly. It's creepy seeing her smiling this bright.

"Congratulations, Rose and Dimitri you're having a daughter." Dr. Olendzki is smiling at us, I'm so overwhelmed, we're having a mini version of me. I feel tears building in my eyes, and I let them out. Then it hits me, fuck, a mini Rosemarie Hathaway, I wasn't a good kid, not that much, had a lot to deal with Kirova. She will retire before my kid even arrives at St. Vlad's, or have a heart attack if she's gonna be like me. And I will sit in the headmistress office every second week, or in Alberta's office because of my daughter. But a mini version of me doesn't mean she will be reckless, stubborn, often impulsive like me, right? She could also be like Dimitri.. calm, thinking before doing, stubborn from time to times, not that often. It doesn't matter, we're having our own little princess, and I'm more than happy.

I pull Dimitri to me and whisper "We're having a girl" before kissing him, his lips tasted a little bit salty, they usually tasted never salty, he cried too. I was so in thoughts that I didn't realized he cried. "these are happy tears, yes?" It's not really a question, it's more of a statement.

Dimitri Point of View:

I'm having a daughter, is this reality or only a really good dream and I'll wake up soon? Having a child with Roza is the best I could ever imagine, since I fell in love with her I knew she would be the only one in my life. Yes I made mistakes like everyone, I'm not perfect, my mistake was Tasha, and Rose is making sure that I'll never forget that mistake. Seeing our daughter on screen is making it more real, I'm really going to be a father, and I make sure I'm 1000 % better than my father was.

"Yes Roza, you made me the happiest man alive."

"Rose, you want 5 pictures like last time?" Dr. Olendzki asks with her nice and caring voice.

"Is it possible to have 7 please? I know, I know it's a lot. The last 2 pictures are gonna be surprises." The doctor nods and prints the pictures without saying a word, she doesn't mind printing 7. I know exactly for who the sixth picture will be, but the seventh, I don't have a clue at all. I realize this is the last ultrasound and check up here at St. Vladimir's since we're leaving soon and heading to our new home, Court.

Finally outside of the clinic, this was probably the last time someone of us was a patient there. All of the sudden I remember all the moments I had with my Rosemarie when she was a patient, these were mostly private, nobody disturbed us. One of them I can remember the best, it was after the shopping trip when she was taken down by a bench, like she called it.

"When I saw you fall..." I started but didn't finished, I should have.

"You thought, 'Wow, she's a loser.'" She complained about her lipgloss being almost empty, so I bought her one at the mall in Missoula, when she hugged me, I didn't wanted to let go of her, hold her tight, but I got also so caught in surprise and tensed by the electricity I felt. Our last conversation before she got to the Princess, I'll also never forget. I guess she neither.

"You have a guardian angel."

"I don't believe in angels, I believe in what I can do for myself."

"Well then, you have an amazing body. For healing, I mean." My Roza has an amazing body, not in particular, it was something I couldn't tell her at this point.

Back in my reality I caught Rose's gaze, take her hand, they are warm and soft, like she wouldn't train or fight at all, mine are the opposite, completely. Now I'm still wondering why did she wanted a seventh picture? Janine, Abe, Lissa, Rose, Me, the sixth will definitely be Alberta, but the seventh? I don't know.

"Rose, why the seventh ultrasound photograph? For who?" Lissa already made her way back, her last test is now.

"For your family Comrade." She smiles up on me, completely happy. "You still didn't told them, I figured out sending them one, would be a great apology, they would accept, right away? Call them Dimitri, today. And send it without telling them. "

"There may be eventually someone who knows it, since a few weeks, Yeva, my babushka called me, told me several double meanings about a pregnancy."

"Your grandmother is or was a witch, a Vaja - whatever, you even believe every bullshit they're telling you. But, this time, Yeva already knew you're the father, even told you, yes in double meanings, but come on, Are you this dumb to not understand? Or are you playing dumb? And you still didn't believed me. You should understand your Grandma by now! I'm really curious what they are saying. From what you told me about her, she would kick your idiotic ass, a former guardian. Hope she doesn't finds out about the things you said to me, like me being a slut."

"Roza..it wasn't that easy, these meanings could have been for everyone... 1. You're having a second charge besides the Princess, for the rest of your life. 2. Life isn't going to be easy, but beautiful, and livable. 3. Your life will change, not as much as some other's life, you may think it's ruined, believe me, it will be even better."

"It's so obvious Dimitri.. second charge beside Lissa for the rest of your life, your baby! Think a second, life isn't going to be easy with a child, she's right. For the third, she's right too, You will stay guardian, I won't. That doesn't mean it's ruined. They don't always come first, you know what, our child will come first in five months when it's born." She's disappointed, and furious, I can tell that by her look. If I truly think about Babushka's predicts now, it makes sense.

"I'm sorry. I still believed in what I was taught and what's written in books."

"You need to go the ceremony now, I'll come soon." She doesn't even kiss me, turns her back to me and walks in direction of her dorm. Rose is definitely still pissed, she would have the opportunity to embrace me. As she said I head towards the ceremony and take my place near the wall, standing straight with a Guardian mask.

Rose Point of View:

I take out one of the pictures, searching a pen in the boxes and an envelope I should have labeled them, would also be lot easier when it comes to clear the boxes. After 5 minutes I find a pen, and start writing on the backside.

"Dear Alberta,

Thank you for everything in my years here at St. Vladimir's. You're like my second Mother, so I want you to 'see' your granddaughter. Yes, you're reading right, a mini Rosemarie Hathaway. One hell of a novice in a few years. I'll miss you Alberta. Oh, btw,: Don't cry ;-)

Rose."

It's the truth, I'll miss her, she's the person I'll miss the most from this academy. I grew up with Guardian Petrov, and she really is like my second mom. But now it's not the time for nostalgia, my ceremony is waiting. I'm run to the hall, with the ultrasound pic in the back pocket of my jeans. My Mom and Dad were sitting in the back, the Guardians are standing straight, like Dimitri too. I'm stepping forward and it begins, the whispers, even from my novices colleagues.

'Slut'. 'Someone like her shouldn't get a promise mark'. 'bloodwhore.' 'Poor child.' 'A shame for the guardians.' ,'with 3 moroi. I heard.' I try to keep a straight face, not showing other emotions. Dimitri is looking at me, every step I take, I guess he saw something's wrong, because I was happy when I entered, it all changed when I heard them, my so-called friends. 'Rose don't let you ruin your ceremony from douchebag's.' I act like I don't care what they're saying, or like I don't hear it, don't show them weakness. Rosemarie Hathaway isn't weak, but hearing such things from my own classmates, could make me weak, I'm also just an eighteen year old girl. It was my turn now, sitting on the chair, waiting for him to start tattooing my promise mark. The Guardian who's making the tattoos drowns the needle in black color, as he wants to start one of these douchebags shouted.

"She's a shame for us! Pregnant and doesn't even know who's the father."
