"Mummy, who's that?" asked the small boy sitting on the floor of a manor house in Eastern Transylvania, pointing towards the crumpled picture of four people standing together in front of a large stone castle.
"Who, darling?" asked Magda Westenra, walking over to where her four year old son was sitting, holding a crumpled picture. Her heart wrenched at the sight of it. The picture was about six years old, but it still seemed like just yesterday. There was Countie, spreading his cape around Vladimir in order to keep him warm. There was Magda herself, standing tall and proud, with her arms wrapped tightly around her beloved Ingrid. It was the only picture that Magda had kept of her family and she hadn't looked at it for years, yet now she felt as if she could never bear to let the picture go.
"That's your Uncle Count, darling."
"I didn't know that I had an uncle, Mummy." replied the boy, who had been affectionately named Wolfie.
"He's not really an uncle, more of...a friend."
"And what about the little boy and girl?"
"They're your brother and sister. My other children. Vladimir and Ingrid."
"I have a brother and sister?"
"Yes."
"Why don't yours and Daddy's children live with us, Mummy?"
"They're not Daddy's children. They're Uncle Count's children. Uncle Count's and mine."
"Why aren't they Daddy's children, if they're your children?"
"I used to be in love with Uncle Count, but then I met Daddy and...well, I didn't like Uncle Count any more."
"Alright." he finished reluctantly. He started playing with his doggy, while Magda wrapped her arms around him.
"Mummy?" asked Wolfie.
"Yes?" replied Magda, rather more gently than an average vampire would.
"When can I meet Vladimir and Ingrid?" asked Wolfie, having slight difficulty pronouncing his siblings' names.
"Oh, don't you worry, my sweet." said Magda. "We will be meeting Vlad and Ingrid...very soon."
A/N : This end bit leads up to the third episode of the third series, when Magda returned with Wolfie.
