This is my story entry for the Christmas New Year Contest by LFMH-A VA Lovers Group.

Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Academy. I only own the plot. LFMH- A VA Lovers Group made the cover/banner.

So I'm sick :( and have time to write so I will try to update tomorrow also, but it depends on how I feel.

To everyone who keeps saying that they hate Dimitri leaves Rose for Tasha stories, Dimitri is with Tasha stories, etc. I will assure you that this IS a Rose/Dimitri story, it will make sense soon as to why he is with Tasha.

To the guest who said it was an over-used plot to have Dimitri leave Rose pregnant for Tasha, it was in the summary that Dimitri was with Tasha and just to remind you that they were drunk and he can't really remember anything except that it was Rose who he slept with. He had no idea that she was pregnant when he left.

I don't mean to sound rude and stuff, but if you don't like it, then don't read it.

Vampiregirl2014- Haha, I am not too fond of Tasha either. I also get very into stories also lol!

Thank you to everyone who read/reviewed/favorited/followed! It makes me really happy and means a lot!

CHAPTER 4

RPOV

"You," I breathed the answer to his question.

I heard his breath catch in his throat as I told him.

"What?" He whispered.

"You. You are her father."

"That-that's impossible! When? How?" He was in shock.

"The night of the party. I was drunk and you were to and you had a fight with Avery, and then this happened."

After a few minutes of silence he spoke.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You left. I didn't know any way of contacting you. I didn't even know until three months after we…" I trailed off.

"Does she know?" I knew he was talking about Emily.

"No. I told her that her daddy had something important to do and could not be here right now."

He stayed silent.

"Would you like to meet her… I know you just already met her, but meet her as a father?"

"I-Not tonight. Not with everyone around. Give me your address and I will show up sometime this week."

"What do you mean you will show somewhere next week?" I heard a voice from the side of us.

"Tasha." Dimitri took his hands away from either side of my head and placed them by his side.

"I-" Dimitri began, but then stopped. It seemed like he didn't know what to say.

DPOV

I had an idea that Emily was my daughter, I just didn't expect Rose to come out and say it like that.

I was speechless and didn't know what to say.

My shock increased as Tasha appeared.

What do I say to my girlfriend? That I apparently have a three year old daughter that I never knew about and I have to help her and her mother out?

Tasha isn't the one to take things lightly. I was scared. But not for me.

For Rose and Emily.

"Nothing. Just business." I answered Tasha after a while.

She looked at me skeptically before nodding and walking away.

I looked back at Rose once more before walking towards the kitchen, her in tow.

I silently grabbed a pen and paper and handed it to Rose.

She wrote her address down and handed the paper back to me.

"I'll come by this week."

RPOV

It's been two days since the party at Christian and Lissa's house and I couldn't get Dimitri off my mind since then.

"Momma," I turned to look at Emily.

"Yes, baby?"

"I know it's late, but can you help me with my letter for Santa." I smiled. I thought it was cute how she was always trying to be good for 'Santa'. Of course… that meant I had to spend more money pretending that it was Santa's presents… but I would do anything to make her happy.

I smiled said yes, following her to the living room. I grabbed a pencil and paper on the way.

Sitting down next to her she began to talk.

"I only want one thing for Christmas this year. I know it might be hard for Santa to bring it, but I believe that he can. He is Santa after all." She started.

"What is it that you want baby? I will write it down." I asked.

"I want my daddy."

I'll write another chapter soon. Sometime today hopefully.

So what do you think about Emily's Christmas wish?

Review please :)
