I looked out into the night wondering when he would return. I have done this for the past week and I don't understand why. I knew he would be back before the rising sun but each night I watched and waited. I have never felt the impulse to watch for anyone in my life and now I can't do anything but watch. I forced myself to turn away. I looked in the mirror and giggled at the woman that stared back at me from the mirror. My long blonde hair tucked just over my shoulder so I could brush it and my bright blue eyes once again betraying the wanting in my heart. Tonight will be the night. I have to talk to him and settle this. That is when the door opened and all that courage I had built up had to come into play. I looked at myself in the mirror, gave myself an encouraging smile and headed to the living room.
He was standing in the doorway when I entered the room. He had black hair that tied behind his head in a beautiful ponytail and golden eyes that could pierce even the toughest of souls. He's a little shorter then I am but more muscularly built with intricate tattoos running along every part of that body. I started the conversation because if he opened his mouth it was over. I would never get out what I wanted him to hear. I slowly went over to him, gazed into his beautiful eyes, took a deep breath and began.
"Chow, I have to talk to you" I gave myself a mental pat on the back for getting this far and continued. " I want to go with you back to the bar because I am just sick of sitting around with nothing to do but stare out the window when the clock shows its almost time for the sun to rise." I took another deep breath and looked up at him and caught him sort of wide eyed and wondering what was going on. I couldn't blame him I mean it has been a week and I haven't said anything to him. I mean our lives changed dramatically a week ago.
One week ago while working behind the bar at Fangtasia I had gotten a rather strange phone call. It was the local doctor who took care of us "undead" folks with some rather strange news. I replayed the scene in my head over and over that week and it still didn't make sense. I once again went through that evening in my head.
-Walking over to the phone was becoming a chore, not because it was overly crowded but because I was feeling slower myself. I picked up the phone and said "Fangtasia, the bar with a bite how may I be of service" adding in a little giggle. I heard a little cough, felt pleased with myself, and listened for the speaker on the other end to begin. "This is Doctor. Ludwig I have some pretty interesting news for lady Pam." I almost laughed at being called "Lady Pam" but I kept my composure. "This is Pam" I said with just a hint of laughter still in my voice. "Pam, I have some great news. Now I would sit before I tell you what I have to say." She paused to allow me to sit, which I didn't do and continued when she was satisfied. " You my dear are pregnant. Now I know that it has always been believed that vampires could not reproduce, and for some it might be true, but for you and Chow it is truth. You are the first case I have ever seen and probably the only one the entire world as ever seen." At that I couldn't contain myself. I started laughing so hard that I almost knocked over one of the true blood bottles sitting on the counter. "You must be joking right I cant be pregnant, it isn't even possible." I said letting a bit of sarcasm into my voice. "Come down to my office dear and I will prove it to you" at that the doctor hung up without even a goodbye.
I must have had a weird look on my face cause both Eric and Chow came over to see what that was all about. I told them and Eric's face went dark and Chow stood with his mouth wide enough to catch a fish in it. Then before I knew it I was crying and both Chow and Eric were tying to comfort me, and it wasn't really working. I decided to call Sookie, my telepathic friend and Eric's "wife" and ask her to go with me. She agreed and we met up outside of office. She looked as shocked and confused as I was and we ended up walking hand in hand into that office.
"Please be seated" Dr. Ludwig said as though this was just a normal office visit. I sat down but didn't let go of Sookie's hand. "I know this must be difficult for you but it really is wonderful news" the doctor continued. I growled and she laid me down on the bed I had sat down on and got out the ultrasound equipment. When I saw that I almost dashed but luckily Sookie had her hand on mine, and that calmed me down. She put some cold gel on my stomach and started to use the machine and that's when it became real. There it was, a little person growing inside of me. I cried, Sookie cried, and even Doctor. Ludwig cried. At that moment I felt both excited and very, very scarred and that isn't a good feeling for a vampire to have.
