Day Meets Night Chapter 2:

Erica's POV:

It had been two weeks since I moved in with Owen, and everything was going perfectly, except for the strange amount of weight I had gained, and the constant throwing up. As I woke up on the 14th morning of Owen and I living together, I noticed the bulge in my stomach, and ran to the bathroom to take the one test I never wanted to take at 16. "Owen!" He came running into the bathroom to see me staring at the small positive symbol on the pregnancy test.

Then, Owen smiled and rubbed my tummy "Wow! A baby! I love babies..." He kissed my belly and nuzzled his cheek against it. I was shocked by his reaction because most guys freak when they get a girl pregnant at this age, we were 16 for crying out loud, I mean sure this was exciting, but I was scared to death of what was going to happen, because I could already tell this was not a normal pregnancy. After a few days I had grown to look full term, and Owen seemed like he didn't notice.

A few days later, poof, my water broke while Owen and I were sitting on the bed watching TV. Owen looked at me and started yelling stuff at me. He calmed down and then quickly preformed a home birth; how he did it by himself I don't know.

An hour later he stood there holding our newborn baby boy, Tobi. The small little boy rubbed his eyes and looked at me; I smiled as he reached his little hands towards me. I took him from Owen and rocked him, smiling at Owen whose expression was nervous and scared. "What's wrong Owen?"

He just shook his head. "I'll tell you when the baby is asleep." He said.
When we got the baby too bed I looked at Owen. "What's bothering you?"

He sighed. "I'm not what you think I am Erica. I'm not human and neither is Tobi, well he's half-human, but I'm a vampire, and I've put your life in danger. Vampires aren't supposed to mate with humans it's a law in our world, and they are going to come after us and kill us now. My family isn't even safe. They're going to kill my whole family."

I frowned. "They who?"

"The vampire Council they run our world and create our laws, they've been doing that since before I was born."

"How long ago was that?"

"Over 300 years ago"

I gasped. "You can't be serious Owen your only 16."

"Just physically mental I'm 556." I heard someone walk in downstairs and heard Owen whisper. "Stay quiet."

Downstairs I could hear a man yelling. "Owen I know you're here so just bring me the girl and baby and I'll let you live!" Owen ran downstairs and I could hear the two arguing, apparently the other guy was Logan and they were old friends or something but Logan worked for the Council and had come to kill me and Tobi, or take us to the Council. I took Tobi up to the attic and hid, but my hiding spot didn't last long because Logan found us after 5 minutes of searching the upstairs rooms. Tobi started crying as Logan attacked us, but the attack was blocked by Owen who had appeared out of no where. Logan hissed at him and then the two men became quiet like they were telepathically yelling at each other. Owen pulled Logan into the other room and I could hear them fighting in the bedroom. Tables and chairs were knocked over and I could hear one of them fall to the ground and I hoped it was Logan as I heard the standing man pull the other outside into the front yard. When I thought it was safe, but someone, I assumed Logan knocked me out and I fell to the floor of the bedroom.

When I woke up it was dark out, I assumed that I had been unconscious for a couple of hours. "I'm glad your okay." I turned to the black haired boy that spoke, it wasn't Owen, I frowned and he continued to speak. "I'm Devon and these are my... friends Tiger, Niko, and Asher. Who is outside hiding." He gestured to the other three boys as he spoke, I could see someone in a tree, and I assumed it was Asher, outside my window. "Owen left he said to tell you he decided it was better to go be with Logan than a human." I frowned more and he hugged me. "But the four of us have all had a crush on you for quite sometime, so your welcome to come home with one of us if you like, or you could stay here alone." He stood up. I looked at the others, Tiger was staring at Tobi, Niko was staring at me and Asher was still hiding outside in the tree.

"Can Tobi come too?" Devon nodded and helped me stand. I picked up Tobi "I think I'll go with you Devon." Devon smiled and took me outside; I could see the other boys glaring at him.
Devon's house was a decent size, he had moved out of his parent's house a few months ago. The apartment he lived in had two bedrooms, one for him and one for me and Tobi. I walked around looking at everything letting Tobi giggle and coo at things he found amusing. I also thought about what Owen was doing right now, and why he left us the way he did. Holding Tobi I changed him for bed and laid him down. I watched the small newborn as his eyelids drifted shut and smiled "Good night Tobi Bear mommy loves you". I kissed his little forehead and laid next to him awhile then started unpacking our clothes from the boxes Tiger, Niko, Asher, and Devon had brought over from Owen's house in. Devon walked over and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I'll be a better father than Owen, don't worry." He kissed my neck and pulled me closer.

10 years later:

I was setting up for Tobi's 10th birthday party. The color theme was black, red, and purple which were his favorite colors. Devon kissed me on the cheek and I left to get Tobi. When I got to the house I was shocked to see him with Owen Sterling. Owen looked even older than the last time I saw him, and I mean like 25 years older. Tobi ran over to me, giggling. "That's Owen. I don't know if I like him though." Owen tentatively walked over to me.

"Hello Erica."

"What are you doing here?" I breathed and stared into his beautiful blue eyes, which seemed harder now as if he'd seen so much. He just looked down at Tobi and then back up at me. "Oh... Um..."

"It's his birthday." He said simply. "Am I invited to the party?"

"Yes... I guess."

"Good. Then let's go." He got into the car with Tobi, then I got in.

"Owen... Where have you been all this time?"

"Maybe someday I'll tell you." He sighed and looked out the window. I drove to where we were having Tobi's party.
