"So Mister Dim..Dim…Mr. Giant. Why don't I know you already?" Alexz asked Dimitri bluntly. I was in too much shock not knowing how or if I should get on to him. He did have a point he knew everyone else at the table.

"Well I have been away for a really long time for work."

"What do you do?" Alexz asked him. One thing is for sure my kid was not shy.

"I'm in the marines. I walk around with a big gun making sure my crew is safe," he told him leaving out most of it since Alexz is only 4.

"Oh cool. Do you know how to fight?" Alexz asked him.

"Alexz, be polite, you have to let Dimitri eat, quit bombarding him with questions," I told him.

"Sorry, I was just asking," he said annoyed. I hid a chuckle because he seriously had an attitude just like me.

"Watch your tone mister," I warned him. "Start eating and stop talking."

I knew once he started eating all questions would stop. He was also like me when it came to food. I sat in silence for a little while before Dimitri spoke up.

"So Rose, how have things been with you?" he asked. I honestly wanted to get pissed but couldn't find it in me. he really had no right asking how I've been but honestly I was just happy he was still alive, Olena had told me he has been stationed over seas where all the fighting was. It was a relief to know he was still here with us, even if he wasn't with me.

"Good. You?" I replied a little shorter than intended.

"Can't complain, I'm alive," he said with a small smile. I almost smile with him but quickly shook my head to clear it. What am I doing? I can't be sitting here making small talk with the man that nearly destroyed me. It was silent before I looked at Lissa.

"Would you mind if we headed out early? I'm not feeling very well," I told her giving her a look pleading with her to say it was fine and nothing else.

"Of course I won't mind. Do you want me to pack you some food for later?" she asked.

"Not thanks I'm just going to take my dishes to the kitchen," I looked down at Alexz and laughed out loud. He had spaghetti sauce all over his face and his plate was completely empty.

"Were you hungry lil man?" Adrian asked him. He just nodded and smiled a big toothy grin.

"Let's get you cleaned up big boy," I told him grabbing him. Then putting his plate on mine, but before I could grab them Adrian got them for me.

"I'll help you," he said giving me a no arguing smile. We walked in the kitchen and I set Alexz on the counter then grabbed a paper towel and wet it. Adrian set the plates on the counter then helped keep Alexz distracted so he didn't get into everything on the counter.

"We really do have this routine down way too well," Adrian chuckled.

"Just think it's practice for your future children…you'll be an expert by then," I told him with a smile.

"Thanks," he muttered. Soon enough Alexz was clean so I set him back down and told him to go play in the play room until I came and got him.

"How are you Rose?" Adrian asked as soon as Alexz was out of earshot.

"I'm fine," I tried lying knowing it was useless. He just raised an eyebrow at me. "OK! I'm not fine, I'm pissed and I'm hurt and just want to run as far away from here as possible. I can't sit there and make small talk…I can't pretend that he didn't break my heart, that he didn't almost completely destroy me when he walked out. I can't sit there while he pretends we have no history, like we're just old friends, like he doesn't care."

By that point I had tears welling up and a few spilled over. Adrian just looked at me with sympathy in his eyes before wrapping his arms around me. trying to soothe me.

"Why doesn't he care? Why do I still care so much?" I asked Adrian softly.

"Because even though you say you won't forgive him and as much as you're still hurt, you love him. You probably always will, just hope that someday the pain starts going away so you can move on. I can't answer for him. he's the only one that can answer that, but I for one think he's an idiot to let my little sexy momma go," he said the last part with a smile.

"Pig," I told him with a smile trying to pull away and pretending to hit him. he held on tight so I couldn't go anywhere and laughed at me. Suddenly somebody cleared their throat from the doorway. I instantly froze and by my freezing Adrian immediately understood who it was.

"Can I talk to Rose for a minute?" Dimitri asked still standing in the doorway. Adrian looked at me and I just nodded. He leaned forward and whispered 'I'll be in the dining room if you need me,' before kissing my forehead.

"Ewwwww Boy cooties!" I told him with a smile. When he was gone I turned to the dishes Adrian had put on the counter. I put Alexzs' in the sink then took mine to the trash can and scraped off the left over spaghetti.

"Rose can you stop for a second so we can talk?" Dimitri asked.

"You can talk, I'm almost done and really have nothing to say," I said taking my plate to the sink and rinsing it off, I then grabbed Alexzs' and put them both in the dishwasher. I stood up an faced the wall trying to come up with something else to do to help distract me from looking at him.

"Are you finished with the distractions now?" he asked slightly annoyed. I turned to face him getting pissed at his annoyed tone. I ignored him for5 minutes, he abandoned me for 5 years, he had no right to get annoyed.

"Maybe, I'll let you know," I told him coldly.

"Are you and Adrian together?" he asked with a look of hurt on his face.

"It's absolutely none of your business," I told him harshly, angered that he would even consider asking me that.

"Look I know you're pissed and honestly you have every single right to be,"

"Damn right I do!" I cut him off.

"But, can you give me a chance to explain?" he asked. "I think I deserve a chance to explain."….Completely wrong choice of words.

"You DESERVE nothing Dimitri Belikov so don't pretend you do. What are you going to explain? Tell me how you could leave your fiancé as soon as times got hard? I don't think I want to hear your excuses or whatever you want to call them," I told him fighting the urge not to start crying again. Ugh how I hated this man! He leaves me pregnant and alone only to return 5 years later and within 5 minutes of being alone with him I was already wanting to cry. I hate crying! I don't cry and haven't cried since I ran out of tears about a month after he left….until he came back.

"Roza I know deep down that you still have feelings for me. If you didn't you wouldn't be so upset with me still. Please just give me a little time to explain, and beg for your forgiveness."

"I might still actually care about you but I don't think I can forgive you or hear your bullshit excuses. You hurt me too bad."I told him honestly.

"Give me one chance, please. One night to try and talk to you and if you decide you never want to speak to me again I will not so gladly walk away and leave you alone. Just give me one night to try and change your mind," he begged. I was about to say hell no when Yeva's words popped in my head, 'Say yes,'.

"Fine, one night but that's it!" I warned him.

"Thank you," he told me looking relieved.

'What did I just get myself into?'
