Sugar And Ice

chapter 33

"She's ok Dimitri, you don't need to worry. Everything is ok." I hear my mother's voice. I feel someone's warm fingers intertwine with mine squeezing me ever so lightly. Coming into focus i see Dimitri and smile at him. Glad to see him. He looks exhausted like he hasn't slept in days. Dark circles under his light blue eyes not his usual bright blue. His hair a complete mess, dress in his usual black. I try to get up but he pushes me down.

"Dimitri I'm fine." I groan.

"The fuck you are. You've lost alot of blood and been unconscious for a few of days."

Blood? I lean back in my pillow as we're in our bedroom I see. I've been out for a few days? What is he talking about? Getting flash backs i start to remember as it slowly starts to cripping in...leaving with Petal, killing her and blood, all that blood. I start breathing rapidly.

Seeing my reaction and realization that I've remember. My mother on my other side cups my face.

"Breath honey, breath." Her warm hands gently stroking my face.

Following her i calm down. "What's wrong with me? Their was so much blood. Elvira and Ivy? Are they ok?"

Smiling sweetly with only love in her eyes.

"Both Elvira and Ivy are ok. Elvira has healed completely. But one more thing..." She looks to Dimitri.

"You're pregnant." Dimitri whispers.

"What!" I turn to him my mother's hand dropping off my face, his face unreadable as I stare at him.

"All that blood..." I know blood is not good. Not good if you're pregnant.

"Everything is ok, you're ok and the baby is ok." I look back at her. "You had internal bleeding from what accord with Petal. Nothing to do with the baby." She reassures me. "Do you want need anything?" She asks.

"Something to eat would be great. Steak even better." As my stomach starts to growl at my request. Her face lights up. "Of course. " cupping my cheek leaning forward kissing my forehand. Giving me one more l motherly look, she gets up and leaves us closing the door behind her.

Turning to him, patting my side for him to come seat next to me. He gets up from the chair that his seating in. Settling down where I patted "Did you know?" I ask him. My scent most of changed when it happened. It would explain everyone acting weird, even my mother at the end must of notice a change in me.

"It changed about a month or so ago." Grabbing my hand while playing with my fingers. "So you didn't find it necessary to tell me." I tease him, not upset at him or anyone.

"I didn't want to tell you before you knew yourself and everyone I assume didn't want to tell you before you knew yourself as well."

"I suppose I can understand that..." My birth control? I know it can and does happen but I know it doesn't help if you continue to take them.

"I've been taking birth control Dimitri." Sensing my distress. "Sasha said everything is good, you and the baby." He reassures me. Resting his left hand on my stomach. Looking at it in worry. I bring my right hand on top of his resting lightly.

I link my mind to his showing him everything that happened with Edwards help, when I left with Petal until now. Wanting to show him all that happened.

"I'm still very mad even furious at Edward for helping you."

"Glad he did, no? If it wasn't for him, you wouldn't have found me. At least not quickly or fast enough for my liking." I state proudly. "I'm not fragile Dimitri."

"If anything had happened to you, to the both of you. I wouldn't have ever forgiven him. You're mine to protect. Your life is mine to cherish, to protect, that's my life's duty as your mate." I look at him with genuine love for this man. Who had lost the most important people in his life at such a young age. Who has lived fifteen hundred years by myself. No one to share his life with until now, until I came into the picture.
