Gone

A Week Later

"Mommy, how much longer are we staying with grandpa?" Devin asked me. We've been in Texas for a week now and it was killing me as much as it was killing him. The only time Dimitri ever called was to talk to Devin and then ask when I was coming home.

"I'm not sure." I told him. I wanted to go home, trust me, but I felt like Dimitri didn't want me back home. I felt like he wasn't fighting for me to come back.

"Mommy, why you leave daddy?" Devin asked as he played with one of his toy trucks.

"We were just having a fight." I told him "We just wanted some time apart."

"Every time I talk to daddy on phone he says that he misses us, I don't think he wanted us to leave." Damnit Dimitri. "I miss daddy." Devin whispered

"I know you do sweetie, I do to." I told her. I could feel tears threatening to fall.

"I bet the baby misses daddy too." Devin pointed out. I looked at my little son as he played with his toys. He needs his dad.

Lissa POV

"Go away." I said quietly to Christian as I sat in our bedroom. After I had blown up at Rose I had gone to the beach, Christian had found me and dragged me back home.

"I'm just here to give you this." Christian said walking in and setting a bowl of soup on the table next to the bed. "Lissa, we have to talk."

"No we don't. I know what you're going to say. Just give me some time, okay?" I told him "Just give me a day before you do it."

"Do what?" Christian asked sitting beside me.

"Break up with me." I whispered "I know you don't want a baby and I am so sorry that this is happening but I refused to get an abortion."

"Lissa, if you would stop worrying for five seconds and listen to me you'd know that I'm not mad at you for being pregnant. I will not break up with you, ever." Christian told me.

"But you said you don't think we're ready." I reminded him.

"I know what I said, and guess what, I regret it. Because you're going to make an amazing mother to this child and I will do everything in my power to keep you and the baby safe. Understand?"

"I understand." I nodded.

"But what you said to Rose, was so uncalled for and disrespectful, that as of this moment I can't fully forgive you."

"I know," I whispered "I didn't meant to yell I was just so angry at her I couldn't control myself."

"Okay," Christian said setting the soup in front of me "eat." I picked up my spoon and did as he told me. I need to start apologizing to everyone. Especially Rose.

Rose POV

"Rose," my dad called from the kitchen "can you come here for a second." I walked into the kitchen to find my dad reading the paper at the table.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"I have to leave for Chicago in a couple days and I don't want to sound mean, but you have to leave."

"Why do we have to leave? Why can't we just stay here?" I asked him.

"Because I look at you every day and I see how much it kills you to be away from him. I know you miss Dimitri, and you need to go back to him." my dad explained.

"I'm not ready." I told him "I still need time."

"No you don't." My dad said smiling "You're just so stubborn that you don't want to admit you've already forgiven him and you want him back."

"Dad," I sighed

"You're pregnant, and you have a four year old son, who needs his dad. You're going back , Rose. Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" I shouted a little bit too loud.

"Yes, I already have your tickets for you."

"Dad, I want to stay with you. I missed you and it's been amazing being back with you."

"I know Rose, but to be honest, I like living alone. It's not that I don't like living with you but I'm old and I like being alone." My dad laughed.

"I understand," I smiled at him "we'll leave tomorrow."

"You're a brave girl." My dad said standing up "And an amazing mother, I love you."

Dimitri POV

"Rose is coming back tomorrow, and I'm going to go pick her up from the airport." Karen told me as I paced around my living room. I had just found out that Rose and Devin were coming home and I couldn't be more happier.

"Why can't I go?" I asked Karen

"Because she might not want to see you right now, plus you have work. I'll get her and bring her home." William walked into the room and jumped up on the couch. Thinking back to when Rose got me him was happier times.

"Fine, you get her but I want you to call me once you guys are home. I'll get off and come home then." I told her.

"Dimitri, you need to stay at work. You can't come rushing home. You still don't know how she feels about seeing you so rushing home might put pressure on her."

"Fine," I sighed sitting on the couch next to William "I just want to see her."

"I know you do, but you have to take it slow." Karen repeated to me. I agreed with her "I'm going to go home, the boys should be home soon but just call me if you need anything okay?"

"Alright, thank you for everything Karen." I told her as she left. Then I was alone. The house was to quiet. I needed the chatter of Devin, I needed the clinking of pots and pans as Rose cooked. I needed Rose back.

Rose POV

"Karen," I sighed as I hugged my friend. Karen had come to pick Devin and I up from the airport and I can't explain how much I've missed her.

"I missed you," Karen said pulling away "the boys have missed you." She ruffled Devin's hair.

"Where's daddy?" Devin asked looking around for Dimitri.

"He's at work." Karen told us. "Come on, let's get you two home." The ride home didn't take long, and once I entered my house I felt like I was finally home. Except there was no Dimitri, and I needed him.

"William, Bruce!" Devin charged after our dog and cat. "I missed you."

"You going to be okay? I have to get back to work." Karen asked.

"Yeah, of course." I told her "Thank you for everything." After Karen left I finished un packing out bags and made Devin and I dinner. We sat watching the television when we heard a car pull in and the front door open.

"Daddy!" Devin shouted and ran towards Dimitri. Devin threw himself at his dad and Dimitri picked him up and hugged him to his chest. Dimitri looked different, he looked tired. He had a beard , yet he was still as tall and muscular as I remember. I missed him.

"Hey buddy, I missed you." Dimitri said resting Devin in his arm.

"Grandpa Abe took me to the zoo, want to see what I got?" Devin asked.

"Sure, go get it." Dimitri set Devin on the ground and he took off upstairs. Dimitri looked at me and walked over. He sat on the table across from the couch. He was so close, I had missed him.

"Hi." I said quietly.

"You left me." Dimitri said.

"I know."

"Don't scare me like that, please." he begged "I can't take it." I leaned forward a little and took his hand in mine.

"I am so sorry, Dimitri." I said. He moved to sit next to me.

"Don't say you're sorry. I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have yelled at you the way I did, it was wrong and it must have freaked you out."

"I deserved it." I told him "I lied to you again, and I just didn't know what to do. It was your sister and she begged me not to tell you."

"I shouldn't have gotten so upset over that, you were just trying to help my sister out and look what happened."

"Yeah," I sighed "she pushed me. Thank god Karen was there or I would have fell-"

"Wait, Lissa pushed you?" Dimitri asked sounding more pissed then I've ever heard him. I nodded. "I can't even take her right now."

"I'm fine though," I told him "no damage done to me or the baby." Dimitri placed his hand on my growing stomach. "Kiss me." Dimitri smiled and leaned in closer and kissed me. It was the most loving kiss he's ever given me.

"I love you." he said once he pulled away.

"Are you two still fighting?" Devin asked from the doorway. He stood with three huge stuffed animals in his arms.

"No sweetie, we're not fighting." I told Devin. He smiled and ran over with his stuffed animals. He explained each of them to Dimitri and then told him their names.

"Wow, it sounds like you had fun in Texas." Dimitri told Devin.

"Yeah, but I missed you." Devin told Dimitri.

"I missed you too." Dimitri picked Devin up and set him on his lap.

"I kind of like the beard." I said running my hand over Dimitri's face. "Hey, were is William?"

"Outside." Devin told me. I got off the couch and walked back out on the porch, Dimitri followed after me.

"William!" I shouted. It was getting cold.

"He couldn't have run off, he never does that." Dimitri said walking out into the yard. Dimitri whistled a couple times and finally William ran out from the woods. "What were you doing back there?" There was a crash from inside the house and Dimitri went running in. Once I reached the living room it took me a second to take in the scene.

Front door open, splintered wood. Devin. "Dimitri, what's going on?" I asked when he ran back inside from the front door.

"Bo has Devin." he said reaching for his phone and dialing numbers. I felt numb. I sat down on the couch and started at the wall. "Rose, look at me."

"Kill him." I whispered to Dimitri. Bo had my son, I wanted him dead.

"He was too far away once I ran out the front door. I saw Devin with him." Dimitri told the cops that had showed up at our house. Along with twenty cops our family was also here. I sat in the kitchen with Olena, I really couldn't take in what was happening.

"We've got cops looking everywhere for him." Mike, the captain said.

"Alright, are you guys searching around town?" Dimitri asked and Mike nodded "Alright I'm coming with you." Dimitri walked over to me. "I'm going to get him back, okay?"

"Please, please make sure he doesn't hurt Devin." I whispered to Dimitri.

"I just got you two back, I'm not going to let anything happen to him." Dimitri kissed me and left with the rest of the cops.

"You okay sweetie?" Olena asked rubbing my arms.

"No, I feel sick." I told her. I slowly walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. One of Devin's stuffed animals sat next to me and I picked it up and squeezed it to my chest.

"Hey, Dimitri is going to get him back." Olena said as she sat next to me. "I promise."

"I can't do this." I said Olena. The baby was starting to kick and it really hurt.

"Want to go to the hospital, just to be safe?" I nodded. I know it was just the baby kicking but it was making me nervous.

Dimitri POV

"We checked everywhere." I yelled as I stormed into my office at the station.

"We're going to keep looking." Luca said.

"The whole town is on god damn lock down, where the hell is he at?" I punched my desk.

"Hey, look you can't lose your cool right now. You're son is missing." Lucas yelled at me. I took a few deep breaths to calm myself.

"Alright look we need to check everywhere. See if he has another house somewhere, anywhere we need to check everywhere."

"Alright, we're on it." Luca said walking to the door "Dimitri we're going to find him."

"I know." I told Luca. I know

Rose POV

"Everything is okay, right?" Olena asked as she walked in my hospital room.

"Yeah, she said the baby was just excited because I was getting stressed and she started kicking." I told Olena. "They just want to keep me overnight to be safe."

"That's good." Olena said sitting in a chair next to my bed

"Have you heard anything new? Did they get any new leads or anything?"

"I haven't heard anything-" Olena was cut off by the door opening and Dimitri walked in.

"I came over as soon as I heard you were here, is everything okay? Is the baby okay?" Dimitri asked walking over to the side of the bed.

"I'm fine, the babies fine. She was just kicking really hard and I was getting nervous." I told him.

"I'll leave you two alone." Olena said walking out of the room.

"I'm fine, I promise." I told Dimitri. "Do you have any new leads on where Devin is?"

"No but we're looking everywhere." he told me. "Rose, I am so sorry."

"Stop , this is not your fault." I told him "I can help."

"What do you mean you can help?" Dimitri looked confused.

"Bo doesn't want Devin, he wants me. We can do some kind of trade thing I don't know but we'll get Devin back."

"Are you crazy? There is no way in hell that I'm letting you ever near Bo." Dimitri told me.

"Dimitri, think about it."

"I'm not thinking about it because it's not happening. I'll figure it out, I'm going to find him. I love you." Dimitri kissed my head "I have a cop outside the door so don't try anything funny."

"I love you." I told him and he left.
