Sorry about the long wait. I've been really busy, plus a really close friend of mine, Madison Davis, went missing 9 days ago. We've been trying to find her. We want her back safe and sound soon.

To olivia williams: Tasha will be showing her "bright side" shortly :/. To miclair: I'm trying to work on being more descriptive. To ItaSaku1: Thank you. Sdrian and Tasha are NOT working together. Adrian (in my story) hates Tasha. To VampireGirl1200: Thank you :).

Here's the next chapter. Enjoy :)

Chapter 18

"We need to talk," a menacing voice said, and I automatically recognized who it was.

It was Abe. And he didn't sound too pleased. When he sounded like this, you know that you are probably wanted by him. That he wanted to kill you.

"About wh-what, sir?" I asked, scared out of my mind.

"About you knocking up my seventeen-year-old daughter!" Yeah, this is bad. Very, very bad.

"Yes," I said, not wanting him to sense my fear, "what about it?"

"So it is true?"

"Yes."

He growled. "I swear to God, if you hurt her, I will be the one to kill you." His threat sounded scary.

"Yes, sir." I put on my cool façade to try to make sure the others, who were still staring at me, didn't sense my fear…and what he was threatening.

"Are you around other people?" he suddenly asked out of nowhere.

"Yes, sir."

"I need you to get away from them. Walk into a different room or something."

I did what he told me. Before I had shut Dr. Olendzki's office door, I took a glimpse at the others, who were staring at me like I was about to give Abe (who they didn't know I was on the phone with) some secret Mission Impossible details.

"Are you away from everybody?"

"Yes." I wonder what he wanted.

"Do you love my daughter?" he asked suddenly.

"Yes, I do," I replied immediately. "I love her more than anything else in the world combined."

"Would you hurt her at all?"

"Not at all. I wouldn't dare."

He was quiet for a long time. I though he might've hung up. But then, when he spoke again, it was real quiet. "Then I want you to take care of her. I'm trusting you with her. Don't let me down." He hung up.

I wondered what that was about. Did he just approve of me dating his seventeen-year-old daughter? I was so confused. I didn't get it at all. THE Abe Mazur just told me to take care of Rose. He trusts me with her. This was a lot to take in. when I had walked back into Dr. Olendzki's office, everyone was staring at me with wide and confused eyes.

"Well?" Lissa asked. "Who was it?"

I just shook my head. I still was so confused.

"What was it about?" Christian asked.

I took a deep breath. "I need some air."

They all nodded. Looking confused. Janine, on the other hand, looked like she knew what was going on. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. I wasn't sure.

I walked out of the clinic still in a daze. I went back over all of the things that has happened today. First of all, I was told I was a father. That, I was quite ecstatic about. I've always wanted a family of my own, ever since I was little, and to know that I can start one with the love of my life, I was overjoyed. Second of all, I had told Rose and she had believed me. at that point in time, I had loved my life. It was amazing. Then, it had started to go downhill. Almost as soon as I had told Rose, Tasha had to go and ruin it. She ruins everything. I wonder if her problem is jealousy. Third of all, Adrian warned me to stay away from Rose. He can't keep me away from her. He's insane f he does. Last, but certainly not least, Abe had given me the okay to date his daughter. I was overjoyed, but I have to go and see her. Hopefully she wasn't with Adrian because if she is, I'm screwed. But Adrian can't control her life. I have to make sure I talk to her. She's everything to me. If I could, I would marry her.

I sighed and ran my hand through my hair. Damn Moroi society, looking down upon dhampir-dhampir relationships. Why can't they just let up a little? I know that they can't have kids, but they deserve to be happy. Why can't anybody acknowledge that?

I looked up at the sky. It was getting light out. I was getting kind of tired. Maybe I can go talk to Rose in the morning. Maybe I can have Lissa help me; I know that she has to at least remember that Lissa's her best friend.

I hated amnesia. I wish it can go die. Hopefully I can jog her memory, at least a little.

I went up to my room and got into bed. I fell asleep fast, dreaming about my Roza.
