The next morning, Rose woke up to Arabella jumping up and down on the bed. Her mood had improved from last night, which made Rose happy. Dimitri had left the bedroom some time ago much to Roses disappointment. Rose smiled and tickled her daughter before she got dressed into a short light grey sweater dress with knee high woollen socks- she didn't want to wear any shoes. She was just planning to lounge around Janine and Abe's house with Arabella. Dimitri came back into the room as Rose was tying the end of Arabella's braid. Arabella ran over to her father and jumped into his arms.

"Your mom said breakfast was ready." Dimitri smiled over at Rose as he started to tickle his daughter.

"I thought you left," Rose mumbled as she trained her eyes to the ground and pulled at the end of her hair. She didn't notice Dimitri walked over to her until she seen the top of his socks on the ground in front of her. He grabbed her chin and lifted her face.

"I made that mistake once, I'll never do it again," Dimitri closed his mouth onto hers. Rose smiled as she pulled away and wrapped her arms around his waist while Arabella wrapped her arms around Rose's neck.

Dimitri put his child down on the floor and the three of them left the room together. Arabella ran ahead and hopped down each step quickly before freezing and running back up the stairs to Rose and jumped on her mother, wrapping her legs around Rose's waist and wrapping her arms around her neck tightly while burying her face into Rose's hair using it as a shield. Dimitri and Rose made it to the bottom of the stairs, where he put a hand on his daughters back.

"Can you just leave? You're just trying to cause trouble," Christian grumbled as he tried to shoo Tasha out of the living room and out of the house. No one invited her, but she since Christian and Lissa left from her house early that morning to go to Rose's, she tagged along in her own car. Eddie let them in and before he could close the door after Lissa stepped in, Tasha was barging her way in. They didn't want to be rude and throw her out of the house, even though that's what everyone wanted to do so they tried to convince her, but that wasn't working very well.

"Ah Rose! And who is this little one?" Tasha asked, taking a step closer to the little family. Rose tightened her hold around her daughter as a warm wet patch started to form on her dress. Arabella whimpered and tightened her grip, not leaving the security Rose's hair had. Rose tightened her jaw.

"Get out." Rose said as coldly as she could.

"What are you even going here Tasha?" Dimitri asked. No one in the room knew the full extent of why Rose was so angered with Tasha. All they knew was that Rose nearly broke her nose during the party and almost strangled her the night before. Basically, no one wanted that to happen again, but they still didn't know why it was as bad as it was.

"What is going on here?" Abe questioned as he looked at his daughter and then at Tasha. He just wanted an excuse to through the annoying women out of his house.

"She needs to leave." Rose responded coolly, continuing to tighten her grip on her daughter.

"Well I'm no-"

"Get out of my house Natasha." Abe responded as he walked her out. All he needed to hear was for Rose to tell her to get out, so he had his excuse so he did what was asked. Tasha pouted and complained but walked with Abe. Once Rose heard the door close, she put Arabella to her feet after clawing her legs from her sides.

"She's gone baby," Rose brushed the tears from her daughters face and ignored all the stairs.

"I wee-weed myself," Arabella sniffled.

"Oh baby, don't be upset," Rose stood up and took her child with her. "Let's just get you cleaned up huh?" Rose walked up the stairs. Everyone watched as she slowly walked up the stairs, no one knowing what had happened. Dimitri followed Rose up the stairs. Rose already had the bath run and was just putting Arabella in when Dimitri knocked on the bathroom door.

"Hey," Rose gave Dimitri a small smile as he opened the door and entered the room. "Can you watch Ari so I can go change?" Rose asked. She was suddenly exhausted and all she wanted to do was to go back to bed and sleep for another 12 hours.

"No! Mommy!" Arabella started to splash around in the water. Rose rubbed her eyes.

"Alright baby," Rose slumped on the floor beside the bath pulling still in the urine soaked dress. Dimitri copied her.

"What was that about?" Dimitri asked wanting to know what had his daughter so terrified. Rose looked at him with tired eyes and a ghost smile.

"Can we talk about it later?" Dimitri nodded. Once Arabella was cleaned up and redressed, Dimitri took her to get some breakfast in the kitchen so Rose could have a shower and get dressed. She leaned against the cool tiles ad closed her eyes, before turning of the shower and wrapping a towel around herself. She managed to pull on one of Dante's sweatshirts that she robbed and jeans, not ready for the full day before her; it was only 9 am after all.

Wow. A lot can happen early in the morning.

Arabella was finishing her breakfast and talking to Lissa who nodded and smiled and sometimes responded when she could. Rose stretched her back as she went for the fridge, grabbed an apple and bit into it. Dimitri walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her shoulders as she leaned into him and finished her apple.

"Mommy, can Grandma and Grandpa bring me to the park?"

"Sorry sweetheart, we've to go to work now." Janine patted her granddaughters head as she pouted.

"Can Aunty Lissa?" Rose nodded at her enthusiastic daughter as she darted for her jacket.

"I think you'll have to run to catch up to her," Rose laughed as she watched Lissa jump off her chair and follow her daughter, calling for her to wait while Christian rolled his eyes and followed Lissa out the door. Rose grabbed the dirty plates from the table and started to wash them and put them to the side. Knowing she had to talk to Dimitri but not wanting to bring it back up again and make Dimitri angry at the fact that Rose couldn't look after her own daughter-protect her like a mother should. Dimitri followed Rose over to the sink and took the recently clean dishes from Rose, tried them and put them back into their respective places. After the last dish had been cleaned, dried and put away, Rose started to play with her nails as Dimitri closed the cupboard door. He leaned into her, placing both hands on either side of her on the counter and looked into her eyes.

"You're going to have to tell me what's happened," Dimitri whispered, not wanting to push Rose but wanting to know why his daughter was so afraid, she soiled herself and was having recurring nightmares. Rose felt guilty for not being able to stop it but there was nothing she could really do except get her child to see a child therapist. Dimitri pulled Rose chin gently so she was looking at him and not their feet on the tiled ground. Rose placed both her hands on his chest, willing them not to shake.

"Natasha tried to kidnap her," Rose whispered. She could see the sudden change on emotion in his eyes as it went from confusion, hurt, denial and then anger. Rose moved her hands from his chest to his arms as he clenches his jaw and gripped the countertop, so tight; his vain were popping out of his arms.

"What?" Dimitri didn't know what to think. He had known Tasha for a long time and couldn't believe that she would do such a horrid thing, but at the same time too, all he had to do was look at the women he loved and his daughter and know that Rose was telling the truth. You can fake a lot of this; lie about a lot of this, but not this. Besides, Rose was the most horrible liar.

"When we were in America last time," Rose whispered. She was afraid of Dimitri in that moment. Not in a way where she would have to leave and never come back because she was too terrified to be around him but in the way where she was afraid of what he was going to do. His hands were still gripping the side of the counter, his jaw was still tightly shut, and his eyes were balls of fire. Rose looked up at Dimitri, portraying her worry and fear. He sighed and pulled her to his chest.

"I'm sorry," Dimitri whispered as he kissed her on the top of her head and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. Rose wrapped her around his waist. He unwrapped himself from the warm embrace and cupped her face in his hands.

"I'll be back soon," He said, kissing her on the forehead before walking away.

"Where are you going?" Rose asked, following him as grabbed his dusters and opened the front door.

"Nowhere, go back inside. I'll be back later." Dimitri made his way to his car, unlocked it and hopped into its leather seats. Rose closed the door, in her bare feet, ran to the car, and opened the passenger side's door just before Dimitri had enough time to drive away.

"Roz-"

"No Dimitri. I'm not going to let you do anything stupid." Dimitri gripped the steering wheel, but didn't say anything as he blindly felt around it he back seat of his car for a jacket. He handed it to Rose. She smiled gratefully and wrapped his around herself before doing up her seatbelt.

Ten minutes later, Dimitri stopped the car outside a house and got out. Rose followed suit, regretting her decision for not grabbing shoes as she left because the ground was cold. All Rose could think about was Lissa not having Arabella out for much longer because it was getting colder and colder. Dimitri banged in the door. Tasha opened the door, wearing next to nothing and smiling brightly at Dimitri. He just clenched his jaw and made his way into the house. Rose followed, much to Tasha's dismay.

"What is she doing her?" Tasha snarled as she looked at Rose.

"Don't talk about her," Dimitri gritted his teeth as he looked at Tasha. "Stay away from me and my family from now on. If I see you again, I'm calling the cops." Rose gripped Dimitri's arm. He was not the type to go around and hitting women but she knew he was really close to it by the way he was balling his fists and digging his nails into his palms.

"What has she said-"

"It doesn't matter what she has said Tasha. I never want to see you near me, my daughter or Roza!" He pulled away from Rose, stomping over to the door and pulling it open. Tasha was standing by the fireplace, not knowing what to do. Rose just followed Dimitri, putting her hand on his arm trying to calm him down.

"She's a whore Dimika! Why can't you see that?" Tasha yelled. Dimitri stopped dead in his tracks. Rose pulled on his arm.

"Come on, Comrade. She's not worth it." Eventually Rose managed to coax him to the car, get into the driver's seat, and speed away from Tasha's house.

"I'm sorry," Rose said as she slumped into the seat.

"What have you got to be sorry for?" Dimitri responded, slightly shocked.

"I couldn't protect her," Dimitri shook his head and put on hand on his girlfriends.

"You protect her every day," Dimitri smiled. "You just don't need this stress right now. You start work tomorrow."

"It's been a very full weekend."
