The phone rung three times before it was answered. "Hello?" a voice came from the other line.

"Hello is Mary Nash there?" you questioned the women on the other line.

"What is your relationship to her?" the women questioned

"I'm her younger daughter Rose," you said.

"Yes she is."

"What exactly is she there for?"

"For having a child; a boy named Nathan." The women said

"Her condition?"

"Not good I'm sorry she doesn't seem like she is going to make it," she said with sympathy in her voice.

"Can you patch me through to her room?"

"Yes one moment." The phone was quiet for awhile before it was picked up and a weak voice answered it, "hello?"

"Hi mom, it's Rose." You said lightly

"HI baby how are you?" she questioned

"I'm fine; I'm married to someone from the school. Rachel is married to Michael and they have a son named Nic." You said lightly to her

"Yeah, that's good."

"Mom you need to write a dying declaration about what my step-dad has done and that he is to have no rights to Nathan," you said it was quiet on her end for awhile.

"Ok sweetie I'll do that."

"Ok… Bye mom I love you," you said gently to her.

"I love you to sweetie tell your sister I love her as well."

"I will," you said and then you heard her hang the phone up and you hung your phone up as well. You wouldn't know if she actually wrote it for awhile. You where down in your room and you had leaned against the wall while you had been talking to your mother. After you hung up the phone you slid down to the floor and close your eyes trying to keep the tears from falling. You heard the door open and then the harshness of it being closed. You opened your eyes and looked at Severus walk into the room taking off his clothes as he headed to the shower. When he came out of the shower and came out of the bathroom dressed you where still on the floor. He looked over at you and walked over to you.

"Rose, you going to get up anytime soon?" He questioned

"Maybe," you said lightly.

"Is this where you went while everything was going on outside?"

"I made a phone call."

"To who?"

"My mother."

"It couldn't wait till afterwards?" he questioned

You met his eyes quickly and there was slight irritation and frustration in them and he could see it, "No Severus it couldn't wait." You then got up and left the room. You walked till you where in the teacher's lounge and you sat down on the couch. You leaned back against it and closed your eyes. You opened them when you heard the door open.

"You're in here early Rose," Dante said.

You looked at him, "What time is it?"

"It's about seven am. Have you been down here all night?" Dante questioned

"Apparently," you said leaning back against the couch.

"You and Severus get into a fight?"

"Not really a fight I just walked out of the room and came here."

The headmaster then came into the room. "Rose come with me you have a letter."

You stood up and followed the headmaster back to his office and on your way to the office you passed everyone. You didn't give them a look. You sat down once you got into his office. He grabbed the letter and handed it to you. You took it and opened it up.

"This is a copy of what was sent," the headmaster said.

Dear Rose,

Besides this going to the police office I am also writing this second letter for you. For them to give to you, I have the nurse writing this because I am too weak. Just through the first letter she was already shocked enough to know what has happened. When I told her I wanted to write a letter about my husband's abuse she called the police. She is the witness to the letter as well as the police officer in the room. I love you and your sister very much. I am proud of both of you as well. Your brother Nathan I am leaving in your care to choose what is best for him. Either way I know you will make the right choice for him and for you.

Love Mom

You put the letter down and looked up at the headmaster. "I will give you some time off so you can deal with the passing and to help in family affairs." He said lightly to you

"Thank you," you said getting up and heading towards the door. You left the room and then left and went back to your bedroom. You pulled out your suitcase and threw some clothes into it. Severus then came into the room.
