DIMITRI

I went out and leaned on the door when I had to close it. Lissa and Christian were sitting on seats opposite the door. Guardians were already here.

"Is it over?" Lissa asked when she rushed to me. I shake with my head.

"They sent me out." I say and sit on the seat all sweaty and tired.

"What? Maybe I should help." Lissa said.

"She's not enjured. She's giving birth, Lissa." Jeanine said. She and also Rose's father came in with coffee. I took one and try not to fall asleep.

I can hear doctor saying push and Rose screaming from pain. I'm worried. Complication they said. What will happen? God, please protect them.

I only blinked and already I was sleeping.

"Roza." I blink and shake, spilling the coffee on the floor when I wake up. But I don't hear Rose anymore. I hear baby cry.

"Guys, do you hear that?" Lissa jumped of the chair. Doctor just came out the door. Everybody including me runned to him.

"It's a boy." he said. It wasn't that big surprise for me but still... I have a son.

"I have a nephew! It's a boy!" Lissa laughed but cried at the same time.

"How is Rose?" Abe asked. Doctor had a serious face and he was looking at papers so I couldn't read the answer.

"Well?" I ask when he doesn't say a thing.

"Oh, sorry, Miss Hathaway is going to be fine. She's just tired. She will be in this room." Doctor said and hand me a paper.

"Congratulations!" the doctor said.

When I came back and entered her room, there were flowers, toys, balloons everywhere. And I was missing only for twenty minutes.

Rose is sleeping in the bed and Lissa is standing next to a baby crib. She turned around when she heard my footsteps. She put her finger to her mouth showing me to be quiet and with other hand she showed me to come closer.

In the crib I see baby covered in a blua blanket with stars on it. My son. He was sleeping and his fast breathing could be heard if I really concetrated on it. His hair is dark and the nose... I would recognize that cute nose anywhere. It's just like mothers.

"He started crying like 15 minutes ago and I compelled him to fall back asleep... He's sleeping like an angel for then." she whispered still looking at him.

"You did what?"

"Just kidding." she smiled.

Rose started to open her eyes.

"As much as I want to celebrate with her right now, I'll leave you two alone. I'll be in the cafeteria with others." she said and left.

I sat on the chair next to her bed and put roses on the night-table. She turned her bed and her eyes opened looking at the crib. She smiled brightly looking at it. Now she turned her head to me.

"Morning." I said.

"Hi." she smiled at me. Then she looked at the crib. "My baby boy."

"He's handsome." I say.

"Would you bring him to me?" she asks.

I walk to the crib and carefully lift him. My son was resting in my arms. I could hear his fast breathing. His hair is dark and he reminds me of Rose. That nose… definitely Rose's. Look at those tiny hands.

After I knew that I won't be able to love anyone else then Rose, I was starting to accept that I won't have any children. But I always wanted a family.

And I have it now.

I just hope that Rose forgives my stupidity. I reget every single moment I didn't believe her. I am sorry for my every word that hurt her. I feel stupid, horrible, the worst for not being there with her while she was pregnant, while this angel was growing inside her.

"My turn now?" Rose said. I have no idea for how long have I been standing there looking at him and thinking. I walk to her and carefully give her our son.

"Hey you handsome. A player… I can see it already." she whispers. "I couldn't have him in my arms before because mom was here."

"Janine and Abe came when doctors sent me out."

"I was too angry in that time."

"You know that you won't be able to hate her forever, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, you will understand why she said it, because you are a mother now… bla bla bla, don't waste the time, both of my parents already had a speech about it." she said rolling her eyes. "Lets just not talk about it now…"

"Okay." I say and carefully move blanket away from my sons face.

Rose smiles.

"What?" I ask.

"That face he just did…" she said. He made a face because the light was disturbing his sleep. "It reminds me of… Mase. Mason. His name should be Mason."

"I think he should have two names."

"Yes? Tell me." she said looking at me now.

"Mark. I think it would fit him."

Rose nodded, "yeah… Mark Mason Belikov. I love it."

"Really?"

"Yes. The name really sounds catchy."

"No, I mean about the surname."

"What, Belikov? Of course, he is your son and he should have this surname… Or you still think it differently…"

"NO!" I say it quickly and too loud, I realize.

"No." I repeat. "I want him to have my surname. And I want you to have my surname." I say.

"Wait, is that proposal?"

"No. I just want to apologize for every… Or… yes! It's a proposal! Of course it's a proposal."

"Dimitri… you are confusing me."

"You are not the only one confused believe me…" I say.

Not a proposal that I wished for us but…

"Rose, would you marry me and take my surname?" I say. I have no idea how to propose someone in English. I thought I had still time when Rose said she doesn't want to get married untill she is at least 20.

Great time to propose… She is tired, I am tired, I have no ring to give her, I don't know what to say…

Rose was quiet.

"I know how hard it was for you, and I'm sorry. I am so sorry, Roza. I was the most horrible boyfriend and father. Please give me the chance to change and to help you raise our son. Please don't keep me away from him, from you both. I love you both so much and I would, I will do anything to protect you." I said and then I didn't know what to say anymore. Rose was giving me a look that she listens to me but not really wants to hear it.

"I was just waiting for that "Roza" coming out from your mouth… but…" she smiles, "Yes."

"Yes?"

"Yes, comrade. I will marry you."

How I missed her voice calling me like that.

I lean closer and our mouths collide. I missed her lips so much.

"Hold down horsie, we will crush our kid if well get that far."

We were sitting and watching at our son sleeping for a while but none of us got tired from it… We didn't even move.

"Tell me… what made you change your mind?" Rose asked quietly. "About Mark Mason being yours, I mean."

"Remember, when my grandmother called me to come closer, right before she died? Then she said something in Russian… Do you know what she said?"

"If that's the reason you changed your mind, does it look like I know what she said?" she asked sarcastic.

"She said: 'He will look just like you.' "

"So, you knew that our child is going to be a 'he' all this time and you didn't tell me?"

"You said that you want it to be a surprise…"
