Hello again, I don't have much to say so I won't bore you. but I will wich u all happy "fat guy in a diper who shoots u with arrows" day. ^_^

Disclaimer own nothing it all belongs to the great J. K. Rowling, ( though I wouldn't mind owning Tom Riddle, Severus Snape, Oliver Wood, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Draco*The name of my dagger* Malfoy) . If you feel the need to sue me you will get empty cans of Strawberry soda and a phone in the shape of a pink Cadillaac that beeps when the phone rings.



When they returned to the suite Rosemary told the girls to get ready for bed, they both wined saying that they wanted to stay up but Rosemary threatened to ground them. They wished their mother goodnight, pecked her on either cheek, and went into their room. As they got ready for bed Rosemary wondered to the small kitchen and made herself some tea. After adding cream and sugar she sat down in the living area and she took a sip of her tea. As soon as the cup touched her lips she felt them tingle at the warmth. She closed her eyes and replayed the kiss in her mind over and over again. She saw him gently wrapping his arms around her waist, she saw herself running her hands through his silky black hair. The kiss only lasted a few moments but in her heart she knew it would last an eternity.

She felt like a school girl, lightheaded and giddy. She wanted to feel like that always but that can never happen. First of all she was married, second of all she didn't know how he felt for her, and third she was married. She somehow knew that she loved him, every time she saw her daughter she loved him more and more. She just hadn't realized it until today when she saw him talking to Lily. They were so similar and yet so different.

Rosemary sighed, when she thought of Lily she thought of Petunia also. The daughter she had because both her parents and her husband had pressured her into it. She loved her daughter but hated the fact that she didn't want her in the first place.

She didn't love Petunia until the day she was born, all through out her pregnancy she wanted nothing more to be someone else. But after hours of labor, she saw those big blue and felt a great deal of sorrow that she had rejected her. She spoiled her because she felt guilty about how she had felt.

When she finished her tea she went to the girls bedroom. There were two queen sized beds and they were each asleep on one. Petunia had hair down and fanned over her pillow. Lily had her hair in a braid and was hugging her pillow tightly. Each one of them had a smile on their face and Lily kept muttering about animals. Rosemary smiled at the sight of her little angels soundly sleeping.

She went to her own room and grabbed her suitcase. She went through the change of clothes she had brought with her. She found a simple black dress, it had a turtle neck, was long sleeved, and was knee length. It was made of thin material so it wouldn't bother her. She put it on along with black knee high boots. She pulled her hair up in a low ponytail and wore no makeup. She kept telling herself that nothing was going to happen and that they were just going to talk. Deep down she knew she was wrong.



It was five till when she entered the Hotel lounge. She saw that he wasn't there so she made her way to a small table in the corner. A waitress came up to her and she ordered an Iced tea, she didn't feel like drinking anything strong. After the waitress brought her the iced tea she did what she always did, she stared at it. She looked through the glass and stared at the reddish brown liquid. She had a million thoughts running through her mind but she wasn't able to grasp one long enough to understand it.

"I believe this is how we meet the first time, Rosemary."

She looked up and saw Tom. He was dressed in a black coat with a Green shirt underneath, and black slacks. As always he looked handsome, the green shirt brought out his eyes. He sat down in front of her and motioned for the waitress, he asked what type of pop they sold there. After hearing that they had strawberry flavored, he immediately ordered it. It came shortly afterwards and Tom gave her a big tip, paid for both their drinks, and asked not to be disturbed.

He took a long sip from his glass. "Ahh this my one weakness anything strawberry."

(AN bet you'd never picture him as the type ^-^)

"Is that your only weakness or your just afraid of me using it against you?" asked Rosemary with a smile on her face.

Tom smirked, (AN: sexy ^_^) "A little of both actually, your someone that I'd never turn my back on."

Rosemary visibly relaxed, she didn't feel tense around him as that morning. It was, more than likely, because of the fact that they were alone.

Rosemary smiled as she said, "I'm hurt Tom, are you saying you don't trust me?"

"I'm not telling you that, if I did I'd have to kill you." He looked serious for a second and it scarred her. But after a moment he smirked, showing Rosemary that he was kidding.

"You're evil, did you know that?"

Apparently Tom took that as a compliment, "That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me, thank you for the ego boost."

Rosemary just shook her head. She took another sip of her drink and got right to the point, "Lily can't know that your her father."

Tom frowned, "And why the bloody hell not?"

It was Rosemary's turn to frown, "You know perfectly well why not. She has a father who has loved her and provided for her. If she knew the truth it could hurt her mentally."

"So what am I supposed to do? Just sit back and see another man taking care of my daughter. Am I supposed to just watch her call him 'Dad' while I sit in the dark. And besides Lily's a mature girl she could handle the truth."

Rosemary put her face in both her hands and breathed deeply. "Tom I'm not doing this to leave you in the dark, if it were up to me you would be a part of her life." She then whispered softly, "And a part of mine."

"I don't like this Rosemary, not one bit. I want to be a part of my daughters life. I don't want to be like my father." The last sentence was said with a hatred she never knew a man like him could have. Rosemary felt terrible, she didn't know what to say, she couldn't think of a solution that could make him happy.

She didn't realize that she was crying until she felt his thumb brushing it away. He held her face with his long slender fingers, Rosemary shivered as he caressed her cheek.

"I know I'm putting you under a lot of pressure, Rosemary, but I can't go on with my life knowing that I have a daughter out there and know that I can't hug her or wish her goodnight." He grabbed both of her hands and gave them each a small kiss, "I've missed a lot of things already, please don't deny me the ability to catch up. I want to hear her call me Dad. Is that so much to ask?"

Rosemary saw the emotions that were very visible in his eyes. He was being honest with her, he was looking at her hopefully. His eyes were begging for her to reconsider. Rosemary bit her lip, she was thinking about what she was going to say. There was no way out of this, she had no choice but to decide.

She took a deep breath and said. "Tom, I've decided that . . ."
