My Guardian Rose

Chapter 146: What's the News?

Rosie slept for a while. A long while, almost comatose. We were all worried about her, but both Merida and Michael assured us that she was perfectly fine, more than fine, even. However, they said that we couldn't disturb her. "Oh, come on! It's been an entire month!!" I exclaimed furiously and Sandy gripped my hand. "Pitch, honey, calm down-" I shook him off. "No! I've had it!! I demand to see her, now!!" Merida actually flinched, as well as everyone around me. Michael cowered behind his mentor. After a few seconds, Merida tried to straighten up, but then stopped with a sigh. "Fine. You, only you, may come in." I nodded firmly, not glancing back once as I followed her in. "Merida, what was all that shouting...? It sounded like Pitch..." A voice yawned from the furthest room. Merida sighed again. "Yes, well... I know you said not to let anyone in... But this tall, pale fellow demanded to see you."
"Pitch...?" I pushed past Merida before she could stop me and made my way over to Rosie's voice. I stopped in the doorway, stunned by what I saw. Rosie was hooked up to an ultrasound... "You're... You're..." I couldn't even manage the word. She smiled bitterly and nodded weakly. "Surprised me too, Soldier... Surprised me, too... Ya shoulda' heard Onyx's tongue when she scolded me... Please don' tell anyone... Even Thorn didn' know..." I sat numbly beside her, eying both the monitors and the scar on her stomach. "H-How...?" She sighed softly, looking at the monitor. "I guess... It w's when Jamie an' I had sex... Since I w's technic'ly dead, we didn' think I could... I hadn't known... It w's when Merida w's checkin' the wound on m' stomach tha' she found out... She managed t' save both of us..." She set a hand on her stomach, only to wince. "And it's still alive?" Her smile returned as she nodded. "Yeah... Amazin', ain't it? I jus' can't... Can't really wrap m' head 'round it..." I huffed softly. "Believe me, neither can I." She chuckled softly at my comment. "Rosie, I have to tell-"
"No, ya can't!" She suddenly wailed, looking desperate. Merida rushed in to calm her down. "Please, jus'... No..." Rosie whimpered. "Can... Can I at least tell Mark and Ice? Those two have the right to know. Jamie has the right to know more than anyone, but I don't think he'd take the news very well when you're in this state." She nodded slowly. "Jus' Mark an' Ice... Don't tell Jamie... Don' tell... Anyone..." She breathed before letting her eyes close. She soon began to snore softly. I turned to Merida, who looked up at me from Rosie. "Tell me more about this." I demanded softly. "Well... It's developing very slowly. I'm guessing that it's been there since she and the prince... But that was a while ago, and it's only in the first month stage. She confirmed that she had no intercourse after that... It's just a theory, but... I don't think it's going to happen in the normal nine months. I think it's going to take twice that, since Rosie's not technically human." I nodded slowly, absorbing the information. "And it's health?" She smiled slightly. "It's very healthy," She glanced down at Rose and back up at me, "I think you should leave her to rest." I nodded heavily, standing up. "Thank you, Merida. I'm sorry for whatever grief I may have just caused you." She smiled and chuckled softly at my remark. "Well, there's no use being sorry for nothing then, is there?" I smiled as well, before nodding and heading out. Everyone was waiting expectantly. I stared out at them all, and my expression hardened. I turned, not even acknowledging Sandy, and walked away from the Medical Hut. They all stared at me in shocked silence, but I ignored them and slipped into the shadows, heading over towards Mark's house. He was the only one at home, so I knew that Ice would know I was there and most certainly follow. I arrived in Mark's bedroom, startling him. "Pitch, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly, noticing my stiff expression. Ice was in there immediately. "What's her condition?" He demanded and Mark's eyes grew wide. "You saw her? How is she?!" I growled, quieting them. "What I am about to tell you... You cannot tell anyone," I said firmly and they nodded, "I'm serious. No matter how much you want to, no matter who it is, no matter what it is, you cannot say a word about it." They immediately became more serious. "Understood." They both said, and I took a deep breath. Then I looked them dead in the eyes. "She's pregnant."
