Kaname stepped over the threshold and walked into the entranceway of the Cross estate. Maids scurried about him, offering him food and wine. He handed one of them his jacket, then walked into the living room.
Yuuki sat on the floor in front of the fire, Lilah in her arms. The child was being fed from a bottle, her eyes drifting sleepily closed. Kaname watched a moment longer, and then stepped further into the large room.
Yuuki`s head snapped up and she froze. Fear ate at her and she scrambled from her sitting position, disturbing Lilah as she did so. The child let out a wail loud enough to wake the dead. Kaname frowned that her actions, but walked to her and held out his hands for the child.
He smiled down at the child and rocked her until she was silent, then handed her to the nearest maid. He gazed at Yuuki and ordered the servants to leave.
"Kaname-sama." She whispered, her head bowed. Kaname`s frown deepened and he lifter her chin. Tears stained her cheeks.
"Why are you crying?" he whispered, brushing at her tears with his thumb.
"D-don't kill me." She sobbed. Kaname stared at her in shock.
"Why would I even entertain the idea?" he wrapped his arms around her.
"Be-because I`m pregnant." She whispered.
"And what is so wrong about that, Yuuki?" he placed a kiss on her temple. Yuuki frowned at him and wiped at her tears.
"I had an affair with the pureblood prince, resulting in pregnancy. Who wouldn't want to kill me?"
Kaname sighed. "That is true. But I swear to you I will not let anyone harm you or my child."
Yuuki made a slight mewling sound in the back of her throat and more tears welled in her eyes.
Kaname continued, "You already take care of my daughter as if she is your own. I told you already, you will make a wonderful mother." Yuuki cried out at his words and buried her face into his neck. As she breathed deeply to calm her sobs, a piercing urge to sink her fangs into his flesh overwhelmed him.
"Kaname…" she silently asked. The pureblood placed his hand to the back of her head and gently ushered her to take. He groaned and moved his head to the side at the gentle slide of her fangs into his vein. He sat down on the couch and made her straddle his lap.
"Take all you need, Yuuki." He told her, his hands going around to her back. With hurried movements, he unlaced the back of her dress.
And as she took from him, he gave more.
…
"Rido." Sara greeted the laughing pureblood.
"By that look, you are planning something. Mind confiding with me of your plans?" he walked from the shadows and plopped down on the nearest chair.
Sara grunted and ignored his question.
"Did you know about your nephew`s little mistress?" she sneered. Rido laughed again and grabbed a glass full of water.
"Maybe I did." He replied, dropping a few blood tablets into the water. Sara growled in frustration. "Calm down, little princess. Kaname only has eyes for you. Maybe she drugged him." He laughed at his own ridiculous statement.
"I birthed him a daughter, and he replays me by sleeping around." She seethed. She stopped and stared at the door, then with a growl banged it open and walked out of the room.
Rido chuckled at the blond, then tipped the glass back and swallowed its contents. "You would not have giving him that daughter without my help."
…
Kaname pulled Yuuki`s naked back against his chest more firmly, his hand teasing over he ribcage, then stopping to rest on her slight baby bulge. He sighed in contentment, rubbing his nose against her neck. He pulled back her hair and placed a kiss on her throat, then nuzzled it again.
"Hm." She smiled in her sleep. Kaname traced the outline of her lips, and then placed his hand on her belly again.
"You have no idea how much you please me." He rasped in her ear. Yuuki turned and burrowed her head against his chest, kissing in slightly, and then slinked back into the world of sleep. He rubbed her back and reached down to pull the cover more firmly over their cooling bodies.
He stared up at the ceiling and closed his eyes.
"Father, how do you know if you are with the right woman?" Young Kaname asked. Haruka looked down at his son and smiled warmly.
"You know when a woman is your soul mate when she drinks from you. If all you feel is the pleasure from the bite, then she is the right one."
Kaname opened his eyes again and placed a kiss onto her head.
"My soul mate, I will always protect you." He vowed to the sleeping woman.
