Chapter III
Christian's POV
When I could finally pull myself out of Rose's bed I headed back to my dorm to change clothes so I could head to the gym to get in my daily workout. Which consisted of weight training and defense training provided by one of the Guardian's my aunt had convinced to teach me. Took a lot of persuasion, but there was hardly an argument Tasha never won. After about three hours of weight training, running and parring with Guardian Gregory, I headed back to my dorm to clean up and go hang out with Adrian for a bit. Just as I reached my dorm I got a call from Rose.
“Hello Beautiful.” I said smiling as I kicked off my shoes by the door.
“Hey Pyro.” something was up, her voice sounded strain, and less than cheerful than it did when she left this morning.
“What's the matter Rose?”
“Is it okay if everyone meets up at your dorm this evening?”
“Everyone as in who?” I asked alert. There was one person that I knew she was going to mention coming by and I had no desire to be in the same room with her.
“Myself, Adrian, and Lissa. Before you say no it's important that we talk to you.” she told me with a hint of desperation in her voice.
“As long as she makes it quick Rose, I really have no desire to be in the same room with her at the moment.”
“I understand Christian, and I promise it won't take her long. Just hear her out, that's all we are asking.”
“Hear her out about what?” I asked cautiously.
“It's not for me to tell.”
“She'll have fifteen minutes.”
“That is more than enough.”
“I'll see you later Rose.”
“Alright Christian, we'll be there in about two hours, Lissa and I are still on the way from the Mall.”
“I'll be waiting.”
“Bye Pyro.” she told me before the line went dead.
I already knew that what ever it was I was about to hear from Lissa I wasn’t going to like it. And from the strain in Rose's voice it was as though she was distancing herself from me. Whatever Lissa had to say to me Rose was probably thinking it was going to change the relationship between us. There was no way in hell that was going to happen, no matter what I learned today.
After these thoughts I went to clean myself up. Forty-five minutes I was out of the shower and getting dressed and a pair of loose fitting jeans and a Theory of a Deadman tee-shirt and since I didn’t plan on going anywhere I didn’t put on any sneakers. The rest of the time I spent waiting for them I practiced with my fire abilities. My aunt Tasha had given me some exercises to go over just to keep me on my toes and they wouldn’t burn my dorm down. I didn’t think that the other students and the Headmaster would appreciate that to much. While I practice I hardly notice the time go by before there was a knock on my door. Whatever good cheer practicing with my element had on me disappeared as soon as the knock came. The only upside I could see to this whole thing was that I was going to see Rose.
When I opened the door they all stood there Rose and Adrian on either side of Lissa who took a quick glance on me than returned her watery eyes to the floor. What ever she was about to tell me had her nervous and upset. When I turned my attention to Rose she was looking at the spot to the left of my head trying to avoid eye contact with me. That made me raise an eyebrow. Adrian...well Adrian looked his usual self glassy eyed and completely unaffected by everything around him.
“Well Ozera are you going to invite us in or stare at us all day?” Adrian said being the first to break the ice.
“Her fifteen minutes start now.” I said as I moved aside to let them in.
“Do you have to be like that?” Lissa asked me as they moved into the dorm. There wasn’t much of a sitting area so I took the bed while Lissa and Rose took the chair and Adrian just leaned against the wall.
“What is it that you wanted to talk to me about Princess?” I asked her ignoring her question and watching as she played with the hem of her shirt and nervously bit on her lip. She opened her mouth many times to say something but nothing never came out, she looked like a fish that was fighting to breath. “Would you just say it already?”
“She's pregnant Christian.” Rose told me as she looked up towards me again not really looking me in the eyes, “That is what she is trying to tell you.”
“Shouldn’t you be telling your boyfriend this?” I asked switching my attention to Lissa who was looking down at her hands.
“The baby is not his,” She told me her voice barely above a whisper. “Aaron and I have not had sex.”
“We haven’t been together for almost two months now Vasilisa and with in those two months we were never together. And even before that it was weeks since we last did anything and it was always with a condom.”
“I am four months pregnant, I'll be five months in another week.”
That knock the air out of me. We were going at it like rabbits at that time, so that made this a definite possibility the baby was mine. “How long have you known?”
“Since the attack on the school.”
“You have known for almost four months and you never said anything to me?”
“After everything that I had happened I didn’t think it was a right time to tell you then with everything with Avery I forgot.”
“You forgot? How the hell do you forget you are pregnant?”
“She clouded my mine up Christian. There was a lot of things that went haywire during the time she was here. But that isn’t what is important. I need to know if you will take him.”
“What do you mean?”
“I can't keep him. There are only two options that I see, the first one is that you take him and raise him or I have to terminate him.”
“You will kill our son?” again I had the wind knock out of me.
“I am not ready to be a mother. There is no other choice. Those are the options he either lives with you or not at all.” I saw Rose flinch at that statement, I could see that she didn’t like that last option one bit.
“I don’t have much of a choice do I?” I said mostly whispered to myself. My kids life was in my own hands. I knew that what ever choice I made would effect my relationship with Rose. If I chose to keep my son I would be putting a strain on our new relationship that was still very much in it developmental stages. And if I didn’t chose him I wouldn’t be able to live with myself and I would most definitely lose Rose since it was apparent that she did not like the option of terminating the pregnancy.
“I am sorry that this has all been unloaded on you tonight Christian, but I am going to need an answer tonight so I can know whether or not to have things set up at the clinic.”
“If I am to take him in, what will he know of his mother?”
“Very little, he will see me on occasions most of the time would be when he is at Court with you or while at your home when I come to visit. I would like for him to know that I am his mother, and that I do love him.”
“And if I agree to these terms do you swear you won't change your mind and suddenly disrupt our lives?”
“I swear it. He is your son and will be your responsibility, I will have no say in how you chose to raise him.”
“And when I marry” I said as my eyes flashed to Rose who was no looking at her hand which laid in her lap. “He would most likely be very close to this woman and refer to he as Mommy, what then should he call you.”
“If he recognizes someone else as his mother than I would be Aunt Lissa. If you wish for him to know her as his mother then I have no say in the matter all my legal rights will be gone..
“I'll take my son. But I promise you Lissa, if you try to interfere with our lives and the choices that I make for him and with him, than there would be hell to pay.”
“I understand that Christian.”
“Your fifteen minutes are up,” I said as I stood from the bed and headed towards the door. “I would like to know the next doctor's appointment so when you find out call me, and I will get in touch with my families lawyers to draw the paper work up for you to sign. I am sure Adrian wouldn’t mind walking you back to your dorm while I talk to Rose.”
“No problem. Rose and I have already discussed everything we needed to earlier.” Adrian said as he took Lissa by the arm gently to lead her to the door. “I will see you both tomorrow.” than with that he and Lissa was gone.
“That was very noble of you.” Rose told me when I turned around to look at her, she still kept her eyes off of me, looking to the space beside my head.
“Will you look at me Rose?” I asked her as I walked up to where she stood beside the window when she got off the couch. Her eyes flashed briefly up at me than she looked back down at her hands.
“I was worried that you wouldn’t chose your son and change everything that I thought about you. I wouldn’t have been able to look at you the same, I can barely look at Lissa the same.” she said as she still kept her eyes from mine.
“Look at me Rose.” I said placing my hands on the walls on either side of her face.
“Do you know I watched Stogoi kill a pregnant woman while I was in Russia. I could barely get to her before they crushed her stomach. When I finally fought the last of them off to save her it was to late for her. I had to cut the child from her stomach, it was a little boy. He was the most adorable thing I had ever seen. He had eyes the color of honey and hair as black as the night. When I called the Alchemist they told me that they would find him a good home. I hoped that they did he had already lost his parents, his father who tried to fight off the Strogoi to protect his mother, but he was a human there was nothing he could have done.” She told me as she wiped away the tears that had escaped her eyes, and she had yet to look up at me.
“When Lissa told me that termination was an option for her, that memory came to my mind. Here it was the parents fought to the death for their baby to live, but she was going to end his because she wasn’t ready to take care of him or because of the threat of Strogoi. I understand what she was trying to say I truly do and I would have stood by her when she made her decision, but she wouldn’t be the Lissa I knew anymore because she so easily gave up a life that people would die and kill for. And if you would have just let hr go through with that option without barely a thought I would have thought the same about you. I think that would have crushed me more than either of us could ever know. The way I look at you is on a whole different level than anyone else Christian. And now seeing you step up to your responsibilities I have a whole different view of you.” She said finally looking up at em with tear filled eyes. “I am proud of you for doing what you did to day. But I am also a little bit scared as well. I fear for what our relationship would become once he is here. We haven’t even established real boundaries to our relationship and now, you are going to have a son, with my best friend. One that I can't even tell that I love you because she herself is still very much in love with you. And it is that reason she even thought of keeping the baby alive because he is yours.”
“You do not wish to tell her?”
“No I don’t I don’t want her to know until you have your son in your arms and you have those papers signed, so for what ever she feels about the fact that I am dating you won't hurt you and your son.”
“And after that would you then tell her about us?” I said as I pressed my body against hers and let one of my hand drop from the wall so I could run it along the side of her body before I placed it on her hip.
“And then I would tell her about us.” She told me just before my lips descended upon hers kissing her deeply and passionately.
She moaned into my mouth as I explored hers with my tongue, it was one of the most sexiest sounds I had ever heard and it traveled straight to my nether regions. Before we took a step that neither of us was ready for, and probably wouldn’t be ready for, for another couple of weeks in light of recent developments I pulled back from the kiss then kissed her gently on her cheek before I backed away from her.
“I'll walk you back to your room.” I told her after we both had a chance to catch our breath.
“Thanks.”
