A full moon rose, just like it did, once every month, but something was different. Henry felt it in his heart, and he knew, something thing that could change everything for him, and for Vicki.

He was waiting for Vicki to come, but for some reason she did not come for a visit. He waited patiently until the sun rose, but nothing, no visitors, not a single one.

Vicki was late for work, and Coreen had been trying to call her all morning. She walked briskly through the door.

"Morning Vicki." Coreen said with a smile.

"Hi." She replied with a forced smile on her face. "Sorry I'm late, I overslept."

Coreen looked at her awkwardly, not believing the response from Vicki.

"Since I've been working here, you've never been late, and now all of a sudden, for the third time this week."

Vicki looked up at her from her desk. "I know you're right, I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I'm just so tired."

"Yeah, are you sure your feeling alright?" Coreen asked. Vicki put her hand on her stomach and replied quickly, "Ill let you know in a minute." As she ran to the bathroom, and threw up.

Coreen followed, "Vicki maybe you should go home, take the rest of the day off."

"Ill be okay, " as she threw up again. Just a little stomach bug, nothing I can't handle."

She threw up for the third time, and made her way back to her office, but instead of her desk she lay down on the couch. Coreen brought her some ginger ale and some crackers.

"Thanks, Coreen. Maybe your right, I need a day off."

"Don't worry I will call everyone and reschedule their appointments."

"Thanks, what would I do without you." She smiled. "You should go home, so you don't get sick too."

"Don't be silly, someone needs to take care of you. Ill just so some school work while you sleep."

After a few trips to the bathroom Vicki finally fell asleep, before they both knew it the daytime faded and night had taken over.

For the second night Henry waited for Vicki to come, but she didn't, so he went to see her.

Coreen heard a knock at the door, and she quietly opened the door. "Henry, Vicki isn't feeling well, she's been asleep all day."

He went over to her, and placed his hand on her forehead. "She's not running a fever. What's wrong with her."

"A really bad stomach bug, she's been throwing up, and sleeping. It not pretty."

"You look tired, Coreen, go home, I can take it from here, thanks." He smiled over at her.

"Okay, I will see you later, bye."

Henry sat on the couch next her, and he wasn't there ten minutes before she woke up.

"Hey Henry, what are you doing here?" He smiled. "Well when I didn't hear form you, I got worried."

"I'm just fine." She tried to force a smile.

"Not according to Coreen your not."

"Look, it nothing, just a little stomach bug." She shot up not realizing it was nighttime. "Have I been asleep all day?" she laughed. "Wow it's been a long time since that happened."

"Now you know how I feel." He joked.

She tried to stand up but the room spun around her, and she fell backwards. Henry helped her back down. "Maybe I'm not so fine."

"How long have you been like this?"

"Like, what?"

"Come on Vicki you know what I mean. Tired, nauseous…"

She hesitated as she really thought about it. "Uhm well, a week or so. I don't what it is, I just can't shake this. Hopefully it will go away."

"Yeah, hopefully." Henry said under his breath.

"You hungry, I'm starving, lets order some Chinese." She said grabbing her phone.

Henry mustered up the courage to finally ask her what he had been dreading for the past two days. "Vicki." He said.

"Do you like wings?" She asked.

"Vicki!" He said in a louder, more serious tone.

She was a little taken aback, but she was used to this tone.

"What?"

It took him a few seconds to organize the words. "Uhm…"

"Well, what is it, spit it out."

"Are you pregnant?" he asked very quickly.

"Am I what?" She looked at him with a shocked expression. "What? No, of course not, what would make you ask that."

"I don't know, it was stupid, sorry."

"Look, I have to go, but I will see you later, okay." She said grabbing her coat.

"Vicki, come on don't be like this." He said going after her.

Thoughts were running through her mind. "Could he be right?" She was too scared to find out for sure, even though she already knew.

"I have to go, Henry, and don't follow me!" She said as tears started to come.

"Vicki, what wrong? Please don't shut me out, I'm only here to help you."

"Well you can't help, you've already done enough!" She pushed him, and he held her, and she cried.

She looked up at him. "Your were right, I'm 2 ½ months along."

He let go in disbelief. Everything that he as a vampire stood for was gone.

Vicki gathered herself, "We had sex, and it was amazing, but you told me you that vampires couldn't have children." She started to cry.

"Vampires can't have children with humans, its not our way."

"Then what happened Henry, what changed!" She half-yelled at him.

"I don't know Vicki. Are you sure its even mine?"

"What? Of course I do, you're the only person, it could be. "

"I'm sorry, your right."
