This takes place when Dimitri and Rose take the trip to Siberia to visit the Belikovas.

Rose POV

"Roza, what's the matter?" Dimitri mumbled into my ear as we sat on the plane. He seemed anxious about going to visit his family, even though we had talked on the phone with his family already.

"Nothing, it's just that… well I'm not sure how Viktoria will react. And Yeva, oh my God, your grandmother is terrifying." I replied, teasing him.

He mumbled something incoherent and in Russian into my shoulder as I shifted closer to him. The car ride from the airport was almost over and soon we would be back in Baia. If Dimitri was anxious, though, I was one hundred times worse, I had run away last time I saw is family and was worried about how they would react to seeing me again. But I would do it for Dimitri.

As the car pulled to a stop, Dimitri jumped out and almost ran to the trunk getting bags. I grabbed my duffel and suitcase from him as we walked towards his family's house.

The door opened before we could even get their and Olena came running out. If Dimitri was surprised to see his mother he clearly didn't show it. As she neared him, he set down the bags that he had been holding and embraced his mom.

"Mama, oh I've missed you," he whispered into her ear. His mother smiled in response, overjoyed at seeing her only son alive.
