Every single day since the hunt started, my thoughts turned to that golden ray of light. He was so fragile, so sweet. The day I left for that mission I never knew it would be my last day to be with him, to see his smile.
"Mommy, can you bring me back a monkey." He asked me, knowing how I always got him something on a 'trip'.
"Of course, Nickoli." Was my response. If I hadn't been ordered to have no contact with anyone on that mission, I might have found out that his condition was worsening and I would have rushed home to be with him, hoping that it wouldn't be his final breath.
After the mission was over and I got my sweet Nickoli his monkey, I checked my cell phone's voice mail.
"Irina, it's me Sophia. Nickoli's condition has worsened, I took him to the hospital. Call me as soon as you get this." A beep was heard.
"Irina, this is Doctor Tesila speaking. I'm sorry to inform you but you're son has been diagnosed with liver failer. He's on the list of donors. Call back as soon as you can."
A lot can happen in two days. My heart froze, no I can't lose my only child. The airplane landed in Russia, I went through customs with out a problem and drove home, hoping Nickoli was there.
I opened the door to find his nanny tear stained.
"Irina, I'm so sorry but Nickoli is dead. He died in his sleep whispering something about a monkey and how you would come home." I feel Sophia's arms encircle me, trying to hug a stone.
His funeral went by in a daze, as his coffin was being lowered into the Heaven's tear stained earth I broke down.
"Nickoli, sweetie, here's that monkey I promised you." I whispered as I gently placed the monkey in the grave.
Now, as the flames consume me. My eyesight is fading, watching Amy and Dan flee with Alistair.
"Mommy, thank you for the monkey." I hear a voice say as I slip into the haze known as death. Just as I closed my eyes I knew who it was. My golden ray of sunshine.
"You're welcome, Nickoli." I whisper as I die, seeing Nickoli standing at the pearly golden gates waiting for me.
AN: Takes place during the events of book six. Sorry if I spelt Irina's son's name wrong.
