"D-Dimitri? H-how is this possible?" I stuttered as I took in his familiar frame, chocolate eyes and luscious brown hair.
"Roza?" was all he uttered. My mind raced. How could this be him? He and all the others on the mission were presumed dead. How is he here? Alive.
DPOV-(thought he was dead, huh?)
After all this time, I never thought I would see my Roza ever again. After everyone else in the group had been killed and all ways of contacting the court for backup destroyed, I had gone undercover as a police officer to complete the mission. The mission had been far from over and it's still not over. I will not rest until it's over. So I gave up all hope on ever seeing her again. And now she had a small child with her. She must have moved on.
"Dimitri," she said, "I thought you were dead." Dead? I guess that was understandable. None of the guardians at court knew that anyone had survived.
"I was the only one to survive a huge attack. But Roza, now is not the best time to talk. Could we talk later?"
"Y-yeah. Um...let me give you my number." She said, still in shock. I handed her my phone and she quickly entered her number. Handing the phone back to me, she gave me a small smile. "I'm gonna get Alex home. Thank you for bring me him." She said, a tear coming to her eye.
"No problem. I'll talk to you later." I told her. She nodded and with that, she walked out the door.

I was still in shock. Dimitri was alive. Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy that he is, but after believing he was dead for so long, it shocked me to see him standing there.
After I walked the mile and a half home with Alex in my arms, my heart had managed to resume a normal rate. Alex had fallen asleep shortly after being safe in my arms, probably exhausted from the trauma of the day. The whole town would probably take awhile to heal itself.
I laid down on the couch, Alex still tight in my arms. I gently grabbed the remote and turned the television down to a whisper so as not to wake Alex. I wanted to listen to the news to see what all happened. And what I learned was not good so far. The shooter broke into the already locked school by shooting a way in through a window, opened fire on the faculty and students, the first determined victims were the principal and school psychologist.
I turned off the t.v, not wanting to hear anymore. I decided to take a nap with my baby. That would be the only way to escape this nightmare. Was I ever wrong. My dreams only held more and even worse nightmares involving today's events. Nightmares that my baby never came home.
I woke with a start, thanks to the dream only getting worse and my phone ringing in my pocket. I swiftly pulled it out of my pocket and answered. It was Dimitri.
"Rose, I'll be over at 6 o' clock. I just need to finish up writing out the list and then post it in the fire hall." He said, despair evident in his voice.
"Okay." I agreed. I gave him my address and hung up. I looked at Alex and decided I better get dinner started. I looked at the clock. It was 5:00. Better make something easy. I tried to get up without disturbing Alex. It didn't work. He stirred and slowly opened his eyes.
"Hi baby." I said kneeling down by the couch, coming face to face with him.
"Momma..." he said in a whisper. "My friend got shot." He started crying. I wrapped him up into my arms and carried him into the kitchen with me.
"Alex, honey, it's gonna be hard but we'll get through this. It's okay to cry." I cooed, gently rubbing his back, trying to sooth his tears.
"Is the bad man gonna get the rest of us too?"
"I don't think so honey. The police will take care of him."
"Okay Momma. I'm hungry though."
"Well then we better get some dinner then. We'll get something easy. How about pizza?" I asked, remembering the frozen pizzas I'd bought on Monday. He nodded, rubbing the tears from his eyes. I set him down at one of the chairs and got the pizza out of the freezer and got it ready for the oven.
After the pizza had gone into the oven, I sat at the table with Alex and gave him a small smile.
"How would you like to have a visitor over in a little bit?"
"He's a good person, right momma?"
"Of course. He's the officer that brought you to me today. He and I are good friends."
"Okay." he said smiling. We sat there in silence as we waited for the pizza. After the timer dinged, I got up and grabbed a towel to get the pizza from the oven. I cut the pizza and got a plate out for Alex and I. We ate in silence. The days events had taken its toll on the both of us.
Just as we were finishing up, the doorbell rang. I slowly got up and answered it. There was Dimitri, trying to smile through all the pain of today. I stepped aside to let him in and thought to myself as he stepped inside, he'd know today that he nearly lost his son.
