I storm back inside my house and Carol rushes to me wondering what's wrong.
"You are bleeding daddy! What happened?" She shouts.
"Go back to your room Carol, and you are not to talk to or meet Christian and Ana anymore. Am I crystal clear on that?" I ask her.
She looks too horrified to answer.
"but.... "
"But nothing! I will tan your ass with my belt if I see you doing either of those things. You don't want that. I promise you it won't be good."
She manages to nod solemnly.
"Go upstairs and take a nap. I have to go to Mr. G to get this fixed. I'll bring back lunch, okay? In case of an emergency, call Zack okay? Matt's daddy? Am I clear?"
She nods again.
"Words, Carol."
"Yes....yes daddy." She says and runs upstairs. For once I don't shout at her not to.
One hour later, I am coming back home with some burgers, fries and coke for lunch. I got eighteen stitches. But I'll be back to normal pretty soon. Vampire healing power and all. I hope I did not scare Carol much.
I come back home and go to Carol's room to wake her up. I see all the decorations and half made cards spread in her room. It tugs at my heart. I decide to ignore it.
"Baby, wake up. I got us food."
Carol wakes up immediately.
"You okay now daddy? Do you hurt? Do you have to get poked with needles?" She asks hugging me so tight.
I breathe in the strawberry scent of her hair.
"I am perfectly fine love. Your daddy is stronger than he looks!" I grin at her and that brings a smile on her face.
"I got us all the oily, unhealthy food for lunch that you seem to love so much." I say and kiss her.
Soon, we are at the table, eating and I find myself wondering about Grey. And Ana.
He did not go to Mr. G who is the only doctor of our community. He must be needing stitches too, I am sure. And Ana? I hope Christian doesn't punish her. He can be immature like that. But I made it clear that it wasn't her fault Now, did I not?
"Daddyyyyy!"
"huh?!"
"What are you thinking? I've calling au you from so long...! "
