Hot summer air blew through the window waking Dennis up with a groan. The young vampire man sat up, his uncovered back covered in sweat from the summer heat and stress of the situation, he and Winnie had their usual fight. It was a back and forth of more vs the risk of less, with a side of wishes vs demands, Dennis never raised his voice, but his pleas were like knives on Winnie's eyes.
Dennis put on a t-shirt and went out onto the balcony, and there she was, Winnie in a periwinkle nightgown, her fur was blowing in the wind. Dennis walked forward, but had to hold back a grumble, as he had done lately, for Winnie was smoking. He kept the steady pace despite the smell he hated so much, and wrapped her arms around the waist of his wife.
"So are we gonna talk about this or last night?" Dennis said eyeing the cigarette as if it was her secret lover.
Winnie sighed before flicking the cigarette away and taking his arms off him.
"I'm sorry," Dennis said. "I didn't mean to call you selfish."
"I want to give, when we get," Winnie said.
"We don't have to go such a dangerous way," Dennis said with a hint of his usual plea. "We could adopt."
"But I don't want anyone's child that isn't mine," Winnie said firmly as she turned to face him. "I can't love a child the same, knowing I wanted something else, that's just as selfish to the child, and having no child is selfish against you, and if i choose this one option, I'm being selfish against you still . . . How can I not be selfish?"
"Would you still love that child?" Dennis whispered wrapping his arms around her as he leaned in.
"I-yes." She said trying to avoid his eyes.
"Would you still love me?" Dennis asked trying to find her eyes like when they once zinged.
"Of course." She whispered giving in.
"Adopt a child with me." Dennis whispered firmly.
Winnie couldn't fight it and nodded, tears in her eyes as she pulled him into a deep embrace.
"I'll call the adoption agency immediately," Dennis said running to the phone. "Whoa, 6 voicemails? From Wayne?"
Dennis played one, he heard a shuddering voice and blowing nose of his father in law.
"Winnie? Dennis? Call me back, ASAP." He said.
Dennis put on another, it was nearly the same, but with more shuddering, and gasps.
"Fight or no fight, I put the landline on silent for one night of decent sleep." Dennis muttered in a worried tone as he called after the 4th voicemail.
"Ugh, Winnie? What took so long?" Wayne said through stifled yawn.
"Sorry Wayne, we had a fight last night so i set the phone on silent for some better sleep, what's wrong?" Dennis explained.
"It's Wanda, she's in the hospital." Wayne said urgently.
