Dimitri - present day

Daddy? His first word was daddy...

My heart swelled as I imagined being there to hear it for the first time, picking him up and swinging him around in my arms, kissing his forehead lovingly,Telling him how proud I am...

Oh my son... and My Roza...

I pulled out my cellphone again and dialed Lissas number. This time she answered.

"Hello?"

"Vasilissa... its Dimitri."

There was a sharp intake of breath and some shuffling on the other end of the phone. I heard Lissa speak to someone and ask them to get her a coffee, I knew it was Rose she was talking as soon as I heard her answer.

"Dimitri, I take it you got my delivery?" She asked when she returned to the phone.

"I did..." I trailed off... I really didnt know what to say, so many things came to mind but none of them seemed the right thing to say... Im an idiot for leaving? Do you think she will take me back? Is he really my son? Does she hate me?

"And?" She sounded almost angry as she voiced that one word.

"And... I dont know what to do, Lissa I regret ever leaving, Ive wanted to come back but I thought she would have moved on, I had no idea she was like this... I ... I want her back.. But she would never forgive me... Ive done too much damage.." It all came tumbling out before I even knew what I was saying.

"Dimitri, she doesnt, Ive nev- sorry Ive got to go. Ill call you tomorrow or something." She abruptly broke off and hung up before I could say anything.

I just sat there staring before the frustration kicked in. I threw my phone at the wall, the sound off it shattering and falling to the ground was satisfying... only for a second.

"Dimka? Dimka what was that?" Tasha called from the living room.

"Nothing, dont panic."

There were only three letters left.. I picked up the next one and started reading.
