Dear Comrade, I'm writing to you from the hospital in Missoula, but don't worry – Junior is fine. Who's not going to be fine is Blake Aylett when I get back on campus! I was in Townsend's class Friday morning, and we were doing upper technique sparring when he grabbed my hands and intentionally kicked me in the abdomen. It hurt like a bitch, and I thought I was going to lose our baby, but Dr. Olendzki sent me to the human hospital in Missoula to get checked out, and we're both ok.
So Alberta and Dr. Olendzki now know about Junior and that you're the father. I hadn't planned to tell them about you, but they needed to know your medical history and blood group. I'm not sure Dr. Olendzki completely believes me, but I know Alberta does. Mason and Eddie also know I'm pregnant, but they don't know about you. Dr. Olendzki wants to keep Junior's paternity a secret in case people try and run tests on Junior and me. So other than Alberta, Celeste, Dr. Olendzki, and Lissa when I finally tell her, I won't be telling anyone else here that Junior is our baby.
I had the twelve-week scan a couple of hours ago, and it was cool. Everything is as it should be, although the doctor did say that Junior is going to be tall. I wonder where he or she gets that from? He recorded it on DVD for me, so when you get back, we can watch it together. They've also taken blood to test for a whole heap of things, but that's routine.
I have to remain in the hospital until Monday, and then if everything is still ok, I can go back to St. Vlad's. I'll have to stay in the infirmary there until Friday, and then I need to get back into things. The Moroi doctor I saw said I can only train for another eight weeks, so Alberta is going to try and move my training up and give me my combat exams early so I can graduate. Just as well you trained me so well, because I'm going to need every advantage I can get if I'm to pass.
While it was wonderful seeing Junior, and to know he or she is safe, it made me miss you even more. I would have given anything to have you here with me for our first look at our baby. I haven't heard any news about you since you were deployed. I'm hoping no news is good news, but I worry. It seems all I ever do is worry.
Now Alberta knows, I've been thinking about telling my mother and yours. I know my mother will take it badly, but I don't know about yours. I've been putting it off thinking it's something you should tell your family because they probably won't believe me. That's assuming you believe me.
Everything seems so much more real now I've seen Junior. I didn't ask, and I don't think I want to find out, but I think it's a boy. I'm not really sure why. Maybe because I like the idea of a little boy who looks just like his Daddy? Celeste bought a baby name book downstairs in the gift shop before, so I'm going to read through that later and see if I can get any ideas. I thought I'd make a list of names I like so we can talk about them when you get back.
I miss you, Comrade. I wish you were here. It's hard doing this alone, especially when I want to share every thought and moment with you. The doctor gave me some photos of Junior which I've attached. I hope when you see these you'll be as happy as I am.
I love you, Dimitri. I miss you, and I can't stop wondering where you are.
You need to come back to us because you're everything to Junior and me.
Always your loving Roza
