Rose POV:

I couldn't help but feel nervous when the plane tyres touched down on the runway. Dimitri and I had just landed in Russia. It had only been a few weeks since everything had changed. But here I was, walking through customs alongside not only my personal translator and tour guide but the love of my life. As we left Moscow airport I wanted nothing more to do then explore the city with Dimitri. I had of course been to Moscow before with Sydney, but this was different, I wasn't trying to find my way to a place I couldn't even remember the name of with a human that knew everything about the world I come from, I wasn't in a state of depression, and more importantly I wasn't trying to hunt and kill the man I loved.

Dimitri took my hand in his and led me over to what looked like a taxi rank. While he put our bags in the boot and had a short discussion in Russian to the driver, I couldn't help but admire the architecture around me. So different to modern American buildings, the hand crafted paintings and carvings. Every building looked like it could belong to a king or queen. I made a mental note to discuss renovations to our own palace with our queen who happened to be my best friend and charge.

I smelt his beautiful after shave before I here'd him chuckle.

"We have a few hours before our train my Roza, I would love to show you around, there are much more beautiful places in Moscow than the view from the airport, but it does require you to get in the Такси"

"The what?"

"The Taxi" he said grinning while taking my hand and opening the door with his other. I slid in the seat, while Dimitri climbed in after me. I was pleasantly surprised when he cupped my face in his hands and lightly brushing his lips against mine before pulling away and whispering "welcome to Russia my Roza" in my ear.

I woke up to darkness, and the closing of a car door. I realized I had fallen asleep in the car from the train station, exhausted after exploring Moscow with Dimitri. This could only mean one thing. We were here, in Baia, at Dimitri's home. He carefully opened my door a helped me out of the car. A cool breeze past through me as I wrapped my light jacket closer to my body.

So there we stood on the front porch of Dimitri's house, the Beilkov's house. He looked just as nervous as I did. Dimitri had called and talked to his family since he'd been changed back, but this was still going to be a shock for everyone, after morning his death to seeing him in the flesh a few months later. They hadn't known we were coming, just we were planning on visiting before the uni semester went back, when Dimitri and I would be guarding full time.

I was so nervous (I know not the typical Rose Hathaway), I hadn't left this house on good terms, I hadn't even said good bye. Viktoria hated me, and Dimitri's witch of a Grandmother didn't think I belonged, though she was referring to a permanent stay I wasn't sure how she'd feel with just a visit. But their whole family had welcomed me and took me under their wing. Dimitri's mum Olena became a second mother to me. I loved her like one. What would she think of me now, after I just left without a word, I couldn't expect her to forgive me easily. I loved them all, I could only hope they would forgive me, like I said, I was nervous. Not to mention, what would they think about me being in a relationship with Dimitri, they had seemed fine at first, but that was different, in their eyes Dimitri was dead, but now here I was holding his hand, would they still accept me? Only one way to find out.

"You ready Comrade?"

He stood frozen for a few moments; I could only imagine what he must be feeling. I wound my fingers through his letting him know I was there for him. Then slowly he answered me by knocking on the door.

"Dimka!" Karolina screamed as she opened the door. Launching herself into Dimitri's arms. Tears slowly began to fill her eyes. The rest of the Beilkov's soon followed all latching onto Dimitri. I saw Dimitri himself tear up, I know how much his family means to him. When they all pulled back for air, tears of joy steamed down everyone's face, including mine. I didn't dare interrupt their reunion, having thought they lost Dimitri, it really was a amazing he was standing before them.

What do you think guys should I continue? Please Read and Review :)
