One of the busiest times of the year for Dave and I was the week of the Fourth of July. We were constantly being overtaken by customers, coming from near and far to visit our park over the holiday. We both needed a small break, so we decided to do probably the most stupid thing possible. After sunset, we went skinny-dipping in Lake Erie. The water by July was already rather warm and the temperatures didn't bother me any, but he seemed a little cold. I wrapped my arms around him, trying to warm him up at least a little, and once again, my mind took over my body. Before I knew it, I was kissing him. Something must have taken over him too because I heard his heart rate quickly rise as he kissed me back. The water wasn't all that deep, and we both could touch the bottom. I felt his hands running through my hair and down my back as he pulled me closer to him. I felt as if I needed him more than anything. I began to push things farther and farther along until I felt him gently push his Member inside of me. He began to thrust gently and little more rapidly than the first time. After a little while I took over and rode him. After about half an hour, I felt a warm, sticky liquid flow inside me. I knew that we needed to get home so I came off of him and realized that we had forgotten to bring towels.

"You don't by any chance keep towels in the park car, do you?" I asked.

"Nope." Dave replied.

"Well, we're screwed. This is perfect." I said.

"We could asks the volunteers for a few towels." He suggested.

"That would be a good idea, except for the fact that we can't put our clothes back on until we're dry. They'll know something's up if we show up at their doors naked."

"Oh."

"I wonder..." I thought out loud.

"What?"

I pulled a mixture of Air, Water, and Fire magic to me. I used Air to blow us dry, Fire to heat the Air, and Water to pull off more of the lake water. We still smelled like lake, but at least we were dry enough to put our clothes on.

"What did you just do?" Dave demanded.

"Vampire magic." I said.

"But you're not a Moroi."

"But I am a vampire."

"It's too bad you can't take the smell away, too." He said.

"That's where the car comes in."

"How?"

"We drive back to the store. I have towels and soap in my truck."

"Why didn't you bring any of the towels?!" He yelled.

"I forgot." I said, climbing into my clothes, Dave just sighed.

When we got back to the store, I grabbed two towels and two bars of soap and we went to the shower houses to wash up. I quickly used the same mixture of elemental magic to dry our hair, then we went home. The next morning gave me a big surprise.

When I woke up the next morning an went to take a shower, I felt sick to my stomach. At first, I just shoved it off as not having anything to eat. After my shower, I looked in the mirror and noticed a small, but noticeable bump on my lower abdomen.

"There's no way in hell." I whispered.

I went to put my uniform on, which now barely fit. I was shocked. It fit perfectly the night before.

"This just isn't fucking possible!" I yelled.

After I ate a breakfast of some blood contained in a water bottle and a toasted bagel with cream cheese, I felt sick again. I rushed to the bathroom and almost immediately threw up the entire contents of my stomach. I went to work, tried to avoid Dave as much as possible because I didn't want him to see me like that. At lunch, I went to McDonald's and then picked up a test from the Walmart down the road. When I got back, I opened the box, shoved the test, still with the cap on it, into my pocket and went to the bathroom to test my theory out. After I got done, I washed my hands and sat in my truck until I got the test results. When the sign finally came up, I was speechless.

The little pink plus sign appeared.

"Oh shit." I said, starting to cry.

I locked the doors to my truck so no one could get in. I almost started it up to go home, but I knew Dave would come looking for me. I didn't know how to react. This would screw up everything in my life, as well as possibly his. I sat there and just cried. I lost track of how long I was there until I heard a small tap at the window.

"Figures. I had a feeling he'd show up. I should have just gone home." I mumbled as I unlocked the doors and hid the test.

"Kait, you've been in here for almost an hour. What's wrong?" Dave said, obviously concerned.

"Nothing. I'm fine." I said, a little too defensively.

"If you were truly fine you wouldn't be crying and sitting here by yourself." He said.

"Well, you'll find out sooner or later. I might as well just show you." I sighed, pulling out the pregnancy test and handing it to him.

He sat there and stared at it for about a minute too long for my liking.

"Well?" I asked, nervous.

"You're pregnant? With my baby?"

"Yes." I said.

More silence from Dave. He seemed worried. Maybe he was worried about me, maybe he was worried about how to save our asses, I'd never know. It was a little over a minute before he spoke.

"How, how will this work? What will we say to people? I mean, you're going to get huge! People will start to notice." He said.

"I was hoping you'd have an idea." I said, overwhelmed.

"I don't have any clue."

"So, you're okay with this?"

"I guess. What else can I say?" He said.

"Rape. I'll tell people it was rape. They won't question anything if I put a little compulsion in with it." I said, suddenly getting the idea.

"Rape? Are you sure? Rape is a serious thing."

"So is having sex with your co-worker, who happens to also be a family friend, and getting pregnant from it."

"Okay, I can see that. Lets go back inside."

"Fine with me." I said, climbing out of the truck.
