It's been 9 months since Winnie told me she was pregnant. The time had finally come.
I was pacing back and forth outside the room Winnie was in. My Mom, Dad, Grandpa Drac, Aunt Wanda, and Uncle Wayne were with me.
"You need to calm down a bit Dennis." Mom told me. I looked at her.
"It feels like it's been forever. I hope everything's okay." I replied. Right after I said this, the doctor told us to come in. Winnie was lying in the hospital bed, holding our child wrapped in a silky cloth.
"Say hello to your new daughter." The doctor told me. I walked up to Winnie's bed and looked at our daughter. I saw two beautiful blue eyes looking at me. She was mostly werewolf in appearance.
"She's beautiful." I said. Winnie smiled.
"She sure is, my zing." She replied. Our little girl looked around a bit, wondering who all these people staring at her were. I then saw her paw reach out and point at me.
"I think she wants her daddy." Winnie said. I nodded.
"Okay." I said. I held out my arms and Winnie gave her to me. I looked at our baby girl.
"She looks just like you, my zing." I told Winnie. She smiled and nodded.
"Well, she does have your blue eyes." Winnie said. I nodded.
"That she does." I replied. A thought then came to my mind.
"Is she a full werewolf?" I asked. Winnie shook her head.
"No, the doctor said she was 3 quarters werewolf and 1 quarter vampire." She replied.
"Really? I wonder if she'll have fangs when she gets older." I said.
"It's possible." She said. I looked at our baby girl again. I brought her closer to me and she started licking my face. Winnie saw this and smiled.
"I think she likes her daddy." She said. I smiled.
"That's good." I said. "So, what should we name her?" Winnie thought for a moment.
"Well, how about Wilma?" She said. I smiled at that.
"Wilma, I like that name." I said.
"Wilma it is then." Winnie said. Mom and Dad then walked up to me.
"We're so proud of you Dennis." Mom said hugging me while I was holding Wilma.
"Yeah, congrats little dude." Dad said. Normally, I didn't like Dad calling me little dude, but I let it slide this time as I was overjoyed that I was a father now. Aunt Wanda and Uncle Wayne then walked up to me.
"She's so beautiful." Aunt Wanda said also giving me a hug.
"That she is." Uncle Wayne said. Grandpa then smiled.
"Congratulations Denisovich!" He said. I then walked up to Winnie's bed and wrapped my free arm around her.
"I love you both so much." I said. Winnie smiled.
"We love you too." She said. We then kissed. I was looking forward to being a father.
[5 years later]
I couldn't believe my little girl was 5 already. She now had her fangs.
I was with Winnie in her room. She was sorting out her clothes. We didn't look any different than we did 5 years ago, other than we were taller and looked older. I was now 20 and Winnie was 22.
"Want to go on a date?" I asked her.
"Sure." She replied. We left her room and went to the lobby. Just as we were about to leave, Wilma ran up to us. She wore a pink baby shirt like the one her mom used to wear, except hers had an image of a spider web. She also wore a collar like her mom's except the pendent had an image of a skull and crossbones and she had her hair tied in pigtails like her mom used to.
"Mommy, Daddy, where are you going?" She asked in a worried tone. I picked her up.
"Mommy and Daddy are going out. We'll be back, don't worry." I said. I then went to find my mom and grandpa and found them talking with some of the patrons.
"Mom, can you and Grandpa watch Wilma for me?" I asked.
"Sure." Mom replied. I put Wilma down and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Behave yourself okay?" I said.
"Yes Daddy." She said. I went to Winnie and we left the hotel. After walking through the forest we came to the cliff overlooking the town.
"I have something to ask you." I said.
"What is it?" Winnie asked. I got down on one knee and presented her with an engagement ring.
"Winnie my love, will you marry me?" I asked.
"I think you know the answer." She said smiling. She pulled me up and hugged me so tight, I couldn't breathe.
"Winnie…can't…breathe." I said gasping for air. She giggled.
"Sorry." She said letting me go. I fell to the ground, still trying to catch my breath.
"Are you sure you want to marry me? I am a werewolf after all." She said. I got up and looked at her.
"Winnie, I don't care what you are. I want to be with you forever." I said. I wrapped my arms around her and gave her a long passionate kiss. After what felt like a long time, we parted and started heading back to the hotel. We eventually got back and went our separate ways to tell our parents the news.
"Mom, Dad, I've got something to tell you." I said when I found them. They were talking with some of the guests. Mom turned to look at me.
"What is it?" She asked.
I took a deep breath. "Winnie and I want to get married."
Mom gave me a happy look. "That's wonderful! I always knew you two were perfect for each other."
I blushed when she said this and she laughed. Once again, my dad was not so surprised.
"But she's a werewolf." He said. I gave him an angry look.
"Dad, we've been through this before. So what?" I said.
"Shouldn't you marry a human or a vampire?" He asked.
"You can't tell me who I can and can't marry. I want to marry Winnie." I said. I then went to find Winnie. On the way, I ran into Crash and his girlfriend Alessa. Alessa was a female werewolf who came to live at the hotel 2 years ago after moving to Transylvania from Italy. They developed an attraction to each other almost instantly and were both 22.
"Crash, I've got some great news. Winnie and I are going to get married." I said.
"Cool man. I'm happy for you." He said.
"That's wonderful! Congratulations Dennis!" Alessa said.
"Thanks." I replied. I left them and continued looking for Winnie.
"Hey Winnie, what did your parents say about us getting married?" I asked when I found her.
"Well, Dad didn't like the idea at first, but Mom convinced him it's okay." She said. "What about your parents?"
"They agreed." I said.
"Wonderful." She said. She gave me a kiss and we went to the lobby. We sat down at one of the tables. After a bit, Grandpa appeared holding Wilma and put her down.
"Grandpa, is it okay if I have my wedding in the hotel?" I asked.
"Sure that's…wait what?!" He asked surprised.
"Didn't anyone tell you? Winnie and I want to get married." I said.
"Why, that's wonderful! Of course you can have your wedding here, Denisovich." He said. He then walked away.
"What does married mean?" Wilma asked. Winnie picked her up and put her on her lap.
"It means Mommy and Daddy want to be together for a long time." She explained.
"Is that good?" Wilma asked. She was too young to understand what this all meant.
"Yes it is." I said smiling.
"Okay." She said. Winnie put Wilma down and she ran off to play with Winnie's younger brothers. We looked at each other and smiled.
"I can hardly wait." I said.
"Me too." She said. We shared a long passionate kiss.
