Immediately Mick felt the cure flow through his blood stream. And his lip started to hurt where that guy had hit him. He knew, it was starting to kick in.
His mind was racing; it felt so good to be human again! First thing he had to do… go tell Beth.
……..
He knocked on her door, and heard noise inside. The door opened and there stood Beth, and he couldn't help but have a grin on his face.
"Hey Beth," Mick said coolly.
She stood there puzzled, "Um.. Hey Mick."
His grin began to fade away, "Do I look different?" Mick asked.
Beth studied him from top to bottom," To be honest… no," Beth said.
His grin came back again, "Beth, I'm human," He said. "Again," he added.
Her face immediately lit up, "Oh my gosh Mick I'm so happy for you!" She said as she hugged him.
Then they froze when Josh entered the room, they didn't know what to say.
"What's going on?" Josh asked.
Mick and Beth both looked at each other.
"Umm… Mick found out that…." Beth stuttered, "That the man, who kidnapped the little girl, is sentenced to life in prison," Beth said. She looked at Mick and nodded her head.
Mick shook his head too, "Yep," He said.
Josh just stared at them. "O..k.." He said.
Mick felt awkward, "Well I think I better be leaving now," Mick said. He walked out of the door and shut it.
……….
The next day, after Josh left for work, Beth got dressed, got in her car, and drove off.
"Ding Dong," the doorbell rang. Mick answered it.
Beth smiled, "Hey! Sorry about last night," Beth said as she walked in.
"Oh it's fine," Mick said as he gave Beth a big grin.
"So now that you're human… again! What are you going to do?" Beth asked.
"This," Mick said as he grabbed Beth, and did a "Hollywood" kiss. He dipped her and gave her a very romantic kiss. Mick was so happy, he finally got his kiss with Beth, and there were no interruptions! Finally, they started to feel madly in love. Since Mick was a vampire, he didn't have a bed, so since they didn't have a bed, they did it on the couch.
They kissed romantically, and finally, their clothes were off. When they got done, you would think that they would feel guilty, doing this behind Josh's back, but they didn't. They wanted each other, and they weren't going to let anyone get in their way.
After they got dressed, Beth looked at the clock, and noticed if was getting late.
She looked at Mick, "Well, it looks like I better get going, "She said as she gave him one last kiss. Then she walked out the door.
Mick smiled, as we went upstairs to get some blankets, he's not going to be sleeping in his freezer for a while.
……….
A couple weeks went by and Josh didn't expect anything, which was good. And Beth still didn't feel guilty. But I mean come on! She's finally realizing she's falling in love with Mick, the man who saved her from Coralline when she was little. They made love on the couch not too long ago. And she can't stop thinking about it!! Would you feel guilty? I don't think so.
One day at dinner, out of no where Josh asked Beth a question.
"Beth, what would you say about getting married?"
Beth froze, "Um… well…. Why?" she asked.
"Because we've been together for 2 years now, don't you want to settle down, and maybe start a family," Josh said.
"Well yeah, I mean I've always wanted to get married and have kids, when I was a little girl I would always dream of how my wedding was going to be," Beth said.
Josh smiled and took the empty plates to the sink.
Beth was shocked, and didn't know what to say.
……..
As the weeks went by, Beth started to feel sick. She felt like she was going to throw up every once in a while. She sat down one day and wondered why she was feeling sick. Finally, she had a feeling she knew what it was.
She drove to the drugstore and raced home. She went in the bathroom and pulled out a fraternity test.
After she used it, she sat there in shock. She couldn't believe what was on. She didn't believe it; she checked it one mroe time, to make sure she wasn't seeing anything.
She looked at it to see, +.
