A/N: It's easy to write these chapters and yet I feel tears soaking the keyboard. It floods the room and I feel even worse for being the bitch I am to write this. Sigh. I mean who writes about this stuff? You know, a single father (cause they're so underrated. Go dads!) and the struggles of raising a daughter (cause they're clueless about females). More comedic than sad...

Anyway, I'll just skip the blabbering say thanks to all you guys for reading, favouriting or following and tell you to enjoy this chapter.

So, till next time,

16th Year: Part 2 - Pregnancy Jokes...

Hey, Gwenny,

Last time I wrote was five years ago... My bad. I should've kept track. Hopefully Lilith's been catching you up while I was gone. I've caught her writing to you a couple of times and it's adorable, however it does make me think how much longer the good times are gonna last.

The years have flown by since I used to cradle her at night when there were thunderstorms. Something she still fears to this day. I'm glad that she's more independent now, but I feel like she's too independent. I mean maybe it's just my paranoia about become my bastard of a father, but I just feel like I barely know Lilith anymore. She's always got something to do, or has a new interest or something else. It feels like the old days are slipping further and further away...

Just like you did.

God, I sound so sentimental. I think Lilith and her friends are rubbing off on me. A few years back I definitely wouldn't have said any of that. I guess becoming a dad changed me; like you said it would. If anything I've just become big marshmallow.

However I'm not completely soft. I still have some boundaries with Lilith and the most important one is boys. Not that I have a problem with her hanging out with them, I'm not that bad, I just want to protect her from all the douches out there. Make sure she doesn't end up with some complete ass who won't treat her right. I also don't want to find out she's pregnant any time soon either.

Speaking of pregnancies, Lilith pranked me yesterday. She left me a note after saying she was going out with Ava. If you read what was on it, you'd be pissed. It was about how she managed to get pregnant and then contract an STD, she also spoke about how she'd be moving out and would stay with her boyfriend. I swear I was about ready to punch someone's lights out. So when Lilith came back, I ended up confronting her. She said it was a joke to get me back about grounding her unfairly. I asked for proof and she came back with a pregnancy test. It was hilarious.

Anyway, I let it slide before realising she had pregnancy tests. I bet you knew what I was thinking: 'Why the fuck would she have pregnancy tests if she wasn't having sex?'

Yeah, so that opened a whole new debate and I ended up believing her on the whole 'still being a virgin' thing. I'm still skeptical though. I'll definitely have to ask her boyfriend about that, or get my ma to do a polygraph on them. Just to scare them shitless. The second one sounds more fun.

Still, even with Lilith, I miss hearing your laugh and seeing your smile every day. You don't know how much she reminds me of you. Her interests, looks, mannerisms; everything reminds me of you. It's really making me consider dying to just to see you again, but then Lilith would be alone. We can't have that.

Hopefully Lilith doesn't wind up into too much trouble. We've still got two more years to go till she graduates.

Love you Pasty,

Duncan
