"Please... just give me the chance to make things right. Give me the chance to try and make up for what Ive done, make up for the time Ive missed. Roza, believe me when I say that I thought leaving was what was best for you, If I had known that things would turn out like this I never would have even considered it. I wouldnt have lefy you to raise our son on your own, You know I would have come back, for both of you..."
"Dimitri... You know how I feel, you said you read all of my letters so you know. You know that Ive spent the last almost 4 years hurting over you, being in pain, I was never completely happy. You broke me, you left me on my own. I needed you, so many times I needed you and you werent there..."
"I didnt know... but Im here now, Im here now and Im never leaving again. Roza I love you."
She stopped breathing, her eyes flew open and she studied my expression. I had dropped my guardian mask, Im not ashamed to admit that I had tears in my eyes, I refused to look away from her as one slipped and fell down my cheek. I had been away from her for too long, I wasnt about to hide anything from her.
"Comrade... I ... I love you too." She sobbed as she reached up and pulled my face to hers in a soft, sweet, intense kiss. It was like heaven, like finally coming home after a long journey, like the first taste of water after walking the desert... It was everything I had been missing since I left.
When we finally pulled apart she bit her lip as she looked up at me, I couldnt find any words to say so instead I just smiled at her, my first real smile in a long time.
I would have pulled her into another kiss, her lips were just too tempting... but the machines around us suddenly started going wild.
We both jerked our eyes to the heart monitor Mase was hooked up too, it was beeping erratically.
"no..." Roza whispered, she rushed over to her son, putting a hand on his forhead, "no, no, no...Mase! baby please, wake up Mase!" She started getting louder.
Two moroi nurses suddenly burst through the door, going immediately to his side and checking him and the machines.
"Sir, could you please take Miss Hathaway outside!" One of the nurses asked without taking her eyes off Mason.
I moved foreward and wrapped my arms around Rose. She was screaming and crying, "Mason! No, no please Mason, come back, wake up baby!" as I had to drag her towards the door.
I took one last look back at my son before pulling Roza out with me, the nurses working over his little body as the machines continued to go wild.
I couldnt stop the tears as I looked at the son I only just heard about... but I loved him, I already loved him so much... But he might never know it...
He might never know that his father loved him...
