Brandon's POV

4 months later…

"Brandon!" I hear Sky scream for me from upstairs. I run up to her with my vamp speed and find her on the floor in the bathroom screaming. "Sky!" I exclaim as I crouch down in front of her. "What's wrong?" I ask and she just glares at me. "I'm in labour you prat!" she shouts at me. "Oh, ok. Um…just breathe. Can you stand?" I ask and she nods as I help her up. I managed to get her in the car and to the hospital. She was taken straight to a hospital room. I was sat next to her as she squeezed my hand every time a contraction hit. If I was a human she probably would have broken my bones and it would have hurt.

"Ok, Sky. We need you to push" ordered the nice nurse and Sky screamed as she pushed. I kept hold of her hand, unsure of what I could actually do other than hold her hand and tell her to breathe. She gave another couple of pushes and soon I could hear the crying of my baby girl as they cut the umbilical cord and cleaned her all up. I looked over at Sky and she was crying. I didn't know if they were tears of pain or happiness, or even both. The nurse then came over and placed our daughter in Sky's arms. "Definitely a Tegan" Sky states as she calms down, after Tegan grabs Sky's finger with her small hand. I never thought this day would come, she was so beautiful. Sky then passed her over to me, and having my little girl in my arms felt amazing.

The nurse then came over with a little tag and a pen. "What's her name then?" she asks as she smiles at Tegan. "Tegan May Garamond" Sky said and I smiled at her. The name fit my baby girl perfectly. "Ok, well I'm just going to put this around her ankle for now. It's just while we take her for check up's" she insists and I nod while she takes Tegan out of my arms and out of the hospital room. "How are you babes?" I ask as I sit back down next to her. "Tired, sore, the usual I've just given birth things" she states and I couldn't help but chuckle at her. "Why don't you go to sleep and I'll wait for Tegan to get back" I suggest and she thanks me as she lies back down and closes her eyes.

The door opened a few minutes later and I knew for a fact that it wasn't the nurse. When I turned round Amelie was stood there. "Amelie" I greet as she comes over and sits down elegantly in the chair on the opposite side of the bed. "Brandon. I would like to congratulate you and Sky on the new arrival of Morganville. Have you got a name yet?" she asks and I nod happily at the thought of my daughter. "Yes, she's called Tegan" I inform her and she nods approvingly. "A beautiful name. I can't wait to meet her. I hope that is okay" she says and I nod. "Yes, its fine and I'm sure Sky will be happy to see you" I say and Amelie smiles down at Sky. "Indeed. How is she after the birth then? Other than tired of course" she asks and I tell her exactly what Sky told me and she laughed slightly.

The nurse then re-enters with Tegan and I realise that Tegan's blood hasn't at all registered with me and when I smell it, it doesn't attract me at all. "I see you have noticed it then" Amelie says as the nurse puts Tegan in the little hospital cot next to the bed. I send Amelie a confused look and she just smiles. "Her blood, Brandon. It doesn't attract you, does it?" she asks and I shake my head no. "That is because it's your blood that runs through her. Therefore the smell of her blood won't make you want to drink from her" she explains and it makes sense. Tegan's blood isn't repulsive, if anything it's actually quite sweet smelling. A bit like how Sky smells after she uses that body wash of hers. "May I hold her?" Amelie asks and I agree as I stand up to fetch her.
