This is the shortest Chapter, but it needs to be because of the little cliffhanger ;-)

I'm sorry.

Dimitri Point of View:

I don't know what's going on exactly, I'm too far away. She looks happy like nothing could destroy that when she enters, after she takes few steps and reaches her classmates, her happiness fades, her beautiful face is emotionless.

"She's a shame for us! Pregnant and doesn't even know who's the father." One of the novices shouts, I know as a Guardian I should stay still, but this makes me furious. What was he? Did he ever had to do with real Strigoi, and kill them at the age of seventeen with a blunt sword? He didn't fought in the attack, that was my Roza, the only novice. I'm doing something new for me, I step in for Rose, as her boyfriend.

"She isn't a shame for us Guardians, without her we would have lost a lot more in the attack. She is the greatest win we can get. Did you ever faced a Strigoi, one who's not already staked? Guess not, because you're still sitting here and talking." I'm not even finished yet, I take all my courage together and take a deep breath. "She does know who's the father. Because I am." Okay, now he or others could report me and Rose, but I would figure out how to be together with her.

From the hall you can hear everyone gasps, even my Roza, she wasn't prepared for. It needed to be done, I see Guardian Alto's face when she entered, and he murmurs something but can't understand. So now he knows he's wrong. This novice doesn't answer anymore, I didn't expected otherwise from him. A scan around the room and I see 4 people are maybe proud? Guardian Hathaway, Ibrahim Mazur, even Guardian Petrov and most of all my girlfriend. I would expect a word from Stan, but he's also quiet, Alto knows exactly I would win in a fight, and I would fight for her.

"Back to the ceremony everyone. Tight schedule!" says Alberta with a loud voice to the crowd, and finally the Guardian starts tattooing the promise mark on Rose's neck. Took him long enough.

Abe Point of View:

As I hear this douchebag of a novice, I already have a lot of ideas how to torture this bastard, and after torturing, I'll make him disappear forever. This will be fun.

"No Ibrahim" whispers Janine all of the sudden and tenses up. This woman knows me to well, good enough to know I made a plan in my head how to get rid off him.

"I'll have a nice ch-" I get interrupted as Belikov stands up for my daughter, even tells everyone he's the father. I can't help it, I was proud. Even though he could loose everything now, except Rose. He'll have me behind him as an army, I don't care who's the threat, I can and will deal with them, in my Zmey way. And if it would be the Queen herself.

Janine Point of View:

I'm the first who claps as she was done, my daughter is now officially a Guardian. I hate to say this, but it was mostly because of Guardian Belikov's help. I'm so proud, even if I don't show it. And both will handle their situation, they're smart. The fact that Belikov stood up for Rosemarie made me proud and I realiz he's one of the good guys. They definitely got my blessing for everything what will happen next in their life, as for marriage, she should wait, if that's their plan too.

Rose Point of View:

The ceremony is finally over, I thought it would never end, after the incident with my classmate I just wanted to get out of there. A shame for us, how could he. And how could Dimitri! In some way it was nice and caring what he did for me, but inappropriate, I don't want him loose his charge, just because he stood up for me, and I can take care of myself, I could've handled this idiot.

Dimitri is the first to congratulate me, was to be expected. I love him, and his action even made a bit proud, but deep down I'm angry. At him? At me? At the world? I don't know. All I know is, he's my hot Russian god, nothing can change that.

"I'm so proud Roza. You're a Guardian now." I thought he would kiss me, but unfortunately he only hugs me.

"Thanks Comrade. Oh and, we talk later." He nods and takes a step to the left, now there's Alberta, I drag her to a corner and hand her the envelope.

"For you. You can open it, no letter bomb." I smirk, she believes my words and take out the small sonogram. "There are a few lines for you on the backside."

"Thank you Rose." She even smiles at me, an honest smile. Looking at the grey, black and white picture of my daughter before turning it backside and reading the text. I brought tears in her eyes, only with such a small text, how is that possible? "A girl? You must be excited. I'm so happy for both of you, and really I look forward to meet Rose junior in at least 5 years."

"Yes I am excited, but also scared. I'll be here every second week, in Kirova's office. Thank you so much."

At Court:

Everyone is also at Court from my friends, my mom and Old man also escorts us. I don't even need to attempt the ceremony for assignment's, I won't take any offers anyway. Taking my bag and heading to the room they got me. Such a beautiful dorm for one person, this is bigger than at St. Vladimir's, but back there I was a novice, here at Court I'm not a student anymore, I'm a Guardian. The room has a large bed, a beautiful bathroom with enough space for me, and the shower cabin is even bigger than at St. Vlad's. I love my dorm, I just wonder where Dimitri's dorm is. Hopefully not too far away from mine. I lay down on the comfortable mattress to try how comfortable the bed is, aa quality check, and until now I didn't realized how tired I really am from the journey and immediately fall asleep.

After an amount of time, maybe one hour, or two hours, I hear someone knocking on my door. I open the door to find Abe waiting. I hope he has a good reason, because I had a really good dream, including Dimitri and me, in a hot tube, naked. I almost reached my climax. Leaving me frustrated now.

"You woke me. What's the matter?" I'm pissed off, waking me up when I'm dreaming about such a wonderful thing, it would be about time for a second time. I can't get pregnant again right now at least, perfect timing.. Here are also stores where you can buy condoms for after the baby is born that is.. I hope.

"They got you another room Kiz. I came to tell you and show you. Pick up your stuff."

"Wait what? Another room? This one is pretty good." I pick up my stuff anyway, I know very well that I can't discuss with the old man, and he doesn't have any other informations, this time he's clueless, why should the Guardians work with him. After ten more minutes I follow him, but he leaves the Guardian dorm, now I'm the clueless one, where are we going? There aren't rooms for Guardians. Oh, I see, this is the area where Mia lives with her dad. I never visited her before but I know it's here.

"Go on, this one belongs to you. I can't let you live in a small room knowing you're pregnant, also you and Dimitri need a place for yourself, and my grandchild."

"You allow him to move in officially?" I laugh, my comrade would move in anyway, I don't care if he would give me his blessing or not. "It's a granddaughter, by the way."

"Only because he showed that he cares for you." Just now he realizes what I said and his eyes went wide in surprise. "You know the gender? Do you want pink tones for the wall in the nursery?"

"No pink tone. I hate pink, she'll too. Do you have the Keys?" I got the keys from old man and enter my new home. I have a home on my own, I guess it's possible if Zmey is my father. This thought hits me, I never knew how much influence he really has. 'Oh, God. I'm Zmey's daughter. Zmey Junior. Zmeyette, even'.

The house is small but it seems that there's enough room for 3 people. He thought of everything, the kitchen with every machine you want, even though I don't know how to cook. The wall is white and the kitchen it self is grey and Bordeaux, a small dining table made of glass for four people with fabric chairs, it's beautiful. The next room is the dining room, also white wall, a picture of a red rose hanging on the wall, I chuckle because it reminded me of the lust charm, the necklace Victor gave me was a rose. And I usually hate everything with a rose, there are maybe exceptions. This table is large, guess there's place for ten people, I don't even know that many. It's made of dark wood, and matching chairs. Such a gorgeous room, which I wouldn't use that often. The living room is large, a big couch, probably enough space for 2-3 adults. It's grey and the material is alcantara leather. How much money does my dad has? That's huge, and there are still room's left. He even bought a television for the living room. Does he want to pay me back for leaving me, but in his way? Did someone helped him? Or worse, did he used his Zmey influence to get everything he wants for free, did a Royal or another Moroi, Dhampir, had an open bill with him and he wanted furniture instead of money? I never asked how he gains his money, but it doesn't look to me like he would work at the wall street or in a bank. Even though I know him now for over a month. I carry on with my tour through my new home, upstairs is the bedroom for Dimitri and me, a king size bed with matching bedside table and wardrobe. Next to our room is the nursery, pale wood almost white, the wall is Smaragd colored. And a picture of St. Vladimir's standing on the window sill. Good Joke old man. Even without his 'reminder' I wouldn't forget this place.

"That's such a beautiful nursery. You didn't told me you're pregnant. Congratulations."
