Valkyrie's POV:
Four months had gone like a strike. Mum is in labour. I'm scared, Dad's scared. He wasn't there for my birth but I forgive him for that. Mum and him had complications with their relationship but it's all sorted now. Renfield and Aunt Ingrid arrived in time. Uncle Wolfie arrived a bit later so he could look after me.
I waited and waited outside my parent's bedroom hearing my Mum scream in pain and my Dad's bones cracking. This room is supposed to be soundproof but my super hearing made the impossible possible. "Come here, Val. She's going to be ok, just step away from the door." Uncle Wolfie said. I turned, my eyes red with fear. He extended his arms and I stepped into them, sobbing. "Shh, it's ok."
"I just wondered if Mum was like this when she had me. I wondered who was with her... obviously Dad wasn't as he is now. What if she cant hold it and dies. What will Dad and I do then?" I broke out. The screaming ended and there was a little cry and some laughter. I turned in Wolfie's arms to face the door. It opened and Ingrid gestured for me to inside. I slowly walked in till I saw Dad getting his hand wrapped in bandages and Mum carrying my new little sister. I smiled and tears started filling my eyes. "Hi, you alright?" I asked, aiming at my parents.
"Yeah, suppose so. But my hand isn't... Go say hello to your sister" Vlad grasped my shoulders gently, aware of his strength, and gently pushed me towards the bed where my Mum was lying with Essie in her arms.
"Hello, baby." I said, gently kissing my Mum's head and Essie's forehead. "I'm Valkyrie, your big sister." The waterworks started again.
Erin's POV:
I gently strolled Esmé through the cold Winter evening with Val by our sides. I turned to look at my 16 year-old daughter whose eyes were sparkling grey in the light. She was beautiful just like her younger sister. I continued to focus forward when a woman stopped us and grinned. "Erin!" She called. At first I thought I didn't know her then I straight away did and put on my polite smile.
"Becky!" I exclaimed. "Wow, it's been like 17 years? How are you?" I asked. Becky looked at Val and Esmé and smiled.
"Yeah! I'm alright. Who are these?" Becky asked, before I could say anything Valkyrie cut in their conversation.
"I'm Lily and that's Harriet. We are her daughters." Valkyrie said. I looked at her confused then realisation hit me.
"Wow. Erin I never thought you'll settle down and have kids! Who's their dad? Don't tell me, it's Vlad init? I can see him in her." She pointed to Valkryie. I smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, Vlad is their dad. We're not married but we are engaged. He's been busy a lot but now this princess is born he's with us most of his time." I said, I really was getting bored of this conversation. "Look, it was great seeing you again, but we have to get home, Vlad's made dinner." I smiled.
"Wow! Vlad's cooks? I'm surprised because of all the lessons he missed." Becky said. "Well, yeah let's leave it there because I have to go as well, bye." Becky said. We said goodbye, hoping we would never see her again.
Vlad's POV:
I wanted to do something special for Erin. I had gotten a silver tiara made for her for our Blood Binding. I had it done years ago when I knew that she was the one I wanted to spend my unlife with, not that anything changed. In 7 years, I'll be officially mated to Erin and Val and Esmé won't be illegitimate. I thought it will be better to do this when Esmé was 7 years old, old enough to know about our culture.
"Hey, you guys took your time!" I say as Erin pulls the buggy up the flat step. Valkyrie gives me a hug and grins.
"We met an old friend of Mum's. Becky, I think..." Val says and I immediately shrieked in horror. Erin just laughed.
"What?"
"Becky always flirted with your Dad, she became his personal stalker. Always ignored me and tried to have a dig at him. That's why I hated her and your Dad is scared of her." Erin said. I could not believe she just said that.
"I am not scared of her. She's too desperate...I'm more, hmm, how do you put this? Creeped out by her." I said, defending myself. Val just laughed and hugged me again. Erin looked at me to see the truth. Satisfied she kissed me.
"I love you two..." I said, before Esmé cried, "Three..." I corrected myself. "You guys better get used to me because we'll be living for centuries to come." Valkyrie hit me and ran up the stairs.
"Hmm, I'm thinking 30 or so years then I'm moving out." I stood horror stricken but she just laughed.
