Chapter 3
It was nice to see that Kirill was back. But I wanted to know more. I wanted to know how he… didn't die you know? This didn't make any sense to me at all. He seriously looked dead to me when I looked at him.
But that was all in the past now…well…I guess only two years. But how did this happen? How did he come back?

I got up early the next morning. I sat up on the bed and looked at Kirill. He was still sleeping. I went over to the crib and looked at Katarina,who was still sleeping,and smiled. You look so much like your father,I thought. I'm so glad that you actually to get see him now.
I picked her up and headed downstairs since she was about to wake up anyways. I didn't want Kirill to wake up. He needed his rest. The last thing he probably needed was to have his daughter wake him up. I didn't know how he was going to react.
About two minutes later I started hearing footsteps; Kirill was coming down the stairs.
"Nicole?"he asked as he stopped halfway down the stairs. He looked at me and smiled. "What are you doing up so early?"he asked as he came over to me.
"I didn't want her to wake you up."
He sat down on the couch next to me. Katarina looked at him and smiled. He put his hand out and she reached for his finger.
"Do you want to hold her?"
"Sure."
I then put her in his arms. He looked so cute holding here. Thank you so much for coming back Kirill,I thought. Thank you so much for not leaving me and your child. You have no idea how much this means to me.
About five minutes later he put her back in my arms. "She so beautiful,"he said. He moved over and kissed me.
"I'll be right back,"and I hurried back upstairs to put Katarina up in her crib and raced back downstairs.
"Will she be ok?"he asked.
"She'll be fine. She needs to get some more sleep."
"Ok."
"Kirill…I need to know something."
"Yes?"
"How are you…well…not dead?"
"I wasn't dead…I was just severely injured."
"But you didn't move when I saw you. I thought you were dead,"I started to sob softly.
He pulled me closer and put my head on his chest. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… It's ok." He kissed my forehead. "It's going to be ok."
"Why did you never call me? It's been two years Kirill. I never thought I was going to see you again. For two years I was scared because I never thought I was going to see the love of my life again… and here you are two years later and you think that everything's going to be ok!"
"But I'm alive and I'm here now Nicole. I promise not to leave you."
"You remember how you used to think it was always easy for me Kirill? This hasn't been easy for me. I still have flashback of what happened that day."
He sighed and didn't say anything.
"Are you ok?"
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said anything."
"It's all right Nicole. I understand."
"I'm just glad that my daughter finally gets to see her father."
"I'm glad that I get to see her too. But I'm mostly happy because I get to see you again."
"Please don't leave me again…"
"I promised you that I wouldn't Nicole. I love you too much. You know that."
I looked at him and smiled. He smiled back and our lips met.
"I never want to leave you again Nicole."
"Thank you…"I whispered as my eyes closed and I feel asleep.
