I sit on the couch, stroking the top of Diego's head in small circles, as I lean my head back on the couch, closing my eyes, drifting in and out of sleep. Diego suddenly shoots up and heads over to the front door, laying down sniffing under the door, whining. My eyes can't help but fill up, knowing just how desperately he wanted Faith to walk through the door.
I stand up and open the door for Diego. He runs to Faith's bike. Sniffing all around it, looking back at me. Surprisingly he didn't cock his leg on it like I thought he would. He goes over to my car and cocks his leg on my front, left wheel. -Nice boy, Thanks for that, still Faith's boy I see- I say, chuckling softly. I motion for him to come back inside, and by no surprise he doesn't listen. I roll my eyes softly, coming back inside, leaving the door slightly open so he can come back in when he wants to.
Once back inside, I look over at the computer desk's chair, seeing Faith's leather jacket draped over it. I swallow, as I blink, tears run down my cheeks. I take her jacket, walking back to the couch sitting down with it, inhaling her scent that still remains on the collar. I put her jacket over me and the bump, looking over at our wedding photo above the fire. I suck my lips in and my face scrunches as I can't help but cry.
The continuous crying causes me to shake, sobbing and sniffing as I lose control on my emotions. Diego comes running back in, jumps up, putting a paw either side of me, he puts his head on my tummy, then looks at me, putting it back down again. Almost as if he was trying to tell me something.
I feel the sudden sensation to use the toilet, I try stand, as I do Diego starts performing, jumping side to side, jumping on the couch and pulling on my jumper, trying to get me to sit back down. -What's the matter boy- I ask with a confused look on my face. I take a step, as I do an agonizing, crippling pain hits me in my tummy. Diego starts howling as it crumbles me to my knees. I lay on the floor holding my tummy, praying everything is alright with the twins. As my head hits the floor, I pass out. Diego lays next to me, nuzzling his nose on the bump, pawing gently at my thigh, trying to wake me up. I lay on the living-room floor, with the front door left wide open where Diego had pushed it to come in.
My Dhampyr mother, whom was at a meeting at the time, felt a sudden sensation to her heart. The kind that alerted her to her only daughter being in some kind of distress. Without hesitation, she cleared the room. Both hands spread on her desk, her body slouching, head hang. -Not my darling daughter- She muttered to herself, not knowing yet what had become of me and my twins that lie within me. As soon as she gathered herself together, she used her ability of "Vampire Speed" to get to me as quick as a flash of lightening to the naked eye. She swooped me up into her arms, and lay me to rest in the comfort of my bed, laying her healing hands upon me. There she learned the twins were fine, but my Placenta had dropped, touching my Cervical Os, which would have proven problematic for me now, or in delivery.
