Alois POV

It's been a few weeks after my ball, and so far everything seemed calm. But I knew perfectly well it wasn't. Now that I found out Lucy was a vampire, I've noticed that Claude has been purposefully keeping both of us as far apart as he could. He'd force me to attend different galas and meetings so I was out of the mansion practically all day. He'd over work Lucy to the point of her sneaking into my room and begging me for a sip. Of course I gave her as much as she needed because I knew that soon we'd be able to tell if she was pregnant.

We'd counted down the days to today. She was planning to ask a doctor and I was going with her. The only open appointment was at noon so after I had lunch we were planning to walk into town together.

I was sitting down in the dining room, waiting for my lunch to be served. Claude had just asked me what I wanted and I asked for a salad. I figured he was going to have Lucy cook and I didn't want her to over exert herself. Before Claude left I called for him.

"Yes, your highness?"

"I have to go somewhere after lunch-."

"Do you wish for me to go with you, Master?"

"No Claude. I'll be fine. Just make sure you cancel any appointments I have the rest of the day. "

He bowed before entering the kitchen. His eyes seemed full of anger, causing me to worry for Lucy. The two of them, along with Timber, were in that kitchen cooking. It didn't take long for Claude to return with dishes and silverware. He set up my place setting in front of me before going into the kitchen to get the tea ready. When he walked into the kitchen I didn't hear the door close behind him, so I turned around. Claude was holding the door for Lucy as she carried the platter with a fresh loaf of bread on it.

Once she was out of the doorway, Claude shut the door behind her. Slowly she walked over to me, so she wouldn't drop anything. She stood right next to me before gently placing the silver plate down. Steam was rising out of the brown loaf and the bread's scent filled my nose. When I looked up at her I noticed that she seemed down cast. Her gold eyes were gazing down at the floor. She had her hands clutched tightly in front of her. I knew she was nervous, but I had no clue how to calm her down.

"Lucy," I began to say. However something stopped me. Suddenly Lucy dropped to the floor, landing on her knees. She had one hand wrapped around her stomach and the other covering her mouth. Something was wrong with her, I knew what but I could tell she didn't want to admit it.

Quickly I stood up; causing the chair I was sitting in the fall the floor with a loud thump. I wrapped my arm around her waist as I led her out of the room. She already seemed pale and I knew there was no way I could get her to her room fast enough, so I took a left; towards my bedroom. Once I opened the door, she immediately ran into my bathroom; closing the door behind her. I could hear her vomiting and she sounded as if she was in a lot of pain.

I ran up to the locked door and began pounding my fists against it, calling for her. After screaming her name with no reply, I heard her quietly cry, "I'll be out in a second. I just need to wash my hands."

From through the door I heard the water turn on and off and a mattered of minutes. After I heard Lucy unlock the door. As it creaked open, slowly I saw her reveal herself to me. Her skin was still pale from shock. Once she left the bathroom, she took a few steps so she was standing in front of me. Her legs were shaking rapidly.

"Lucy, we both know what's happening," I exclaimed slowly and calmly. But nothing could've stopped what happened after. Lucy fell to the floor, crying hysterically. I crouched down to her height and began gently patting her back. She leaned into me so her head was pressed up against my chest. My arms wrapped around her waist as I continued to stroke her back.

"Alois it's not possible," she mumbled as she looked up. "Vampires can't have children."

"Maybe with humans they can?"

"Alois stop it!" she snapped "I can't be. It's just not possible. Maybe I just got sick from drinking your blood? That has to be it, since I haven't had blood in so long."

I pulled her up by her shoulders. Her tear stained eyes gazed up into mine. She seemed so weak and in pain then. I was too, but I had to be strong for her sake. I just didn't want her to go through all the pain. Her body was just like any fourteen year old girl's body, still changing.

"Come on," I told her. "We're going to the doctor and then we'll see."

"So Miss Blake," The doctor asked explained as he examined her. "You think you're pregnant?"

"I might be," she exclaimed as she held my hand. We were both nervous about what the doctor was going to say. We had just checked in and the doctor asked us to sit in the waiting room. Sitting there was the hardest thing ever, for both of us. Lucy held my hand as it rested on the arm of the chair. Her head was pressed against my shoulder.

"Alright, so how about we do a few tests, but first answer this questionnaire. I'll be in my office, down the hall on the right. You both should come when you're done."

Once he left, Lucy and I began to read over the questions. In her right hand she held a pen; in the other hand she had my hand. She read the questions out loud and spoke her answers too.

"Have you missed your period? Yes. Any signs of nausea? Yes. Any weight gain? No. Has the size of either your breasts or abdomen increased?"

She looked down at her body before answering the question. Surely it wasn't already that noticeable. Or was I just unable to tell?

"Maybe you should just skip the question," I replied. She nodded her head. The two of us sat there for a while, filling out the survey. There were a total of twenty five questions she had to answer before meeting with the doctor. We both walked up to the room together and carefully I knocked on the door.

"Come in," he replied.

He instructed Lucy to sit down as he reviewed her answers. I stood right next to her, my hand around her shoulder. As the doctor looked up from the sheets, he adjusted his glasses.

"Well," I asked the doctor. "Is she or isn't she?"

"After reading the answers you have given me," he began. Lucy looked as if she may faint. She wanted an answer, but only the one she wanted. "I am able to tell you that you, Lucy Blake, are definitely pregnant."

Her head instantly popped up, her body no longer slouching in the chair. She had her hands on her knees as they shook. Her lip quivered rapidly as her eyes darted at the doctors.

"Miss Blake you are around three weeks in. So I'll assume your due date is around the end of May."

Lucy's eyes began to tear up as the doctor ushered us out of his office. I'd intertwined my fingers in her's as we left the premise of the building. Her watery eyes caused people to stare at us. I tugged her out of the public's eye and towards my carriage. Claude was meeting us at the end of the street, so I quickly brought Lucy inside. Claude didn't bother speaking to either of us, he just closed the door.

Lucy POV

After Alois and I arrived back at the mansion, Alois told me I was dismissed from working the rest of the day. Now it's nine at night and I haven't left my room. I was just sitting on my bed with my hands pressed against my stomach. I hadn't eaten since this morning because I was afraid I'd vomit again, but I knew I had to have something.

Carefully and quietly I opened the door and crept out into the hallway. I assumed that everyone was in bed already, so I tip toed across the wooden floor. Once I arrived to the kitchen I began looking over all the things stuff into bowls and shelves. I wasn't in the mood for anything here, so I quietly walked back into my room.

When I made it back to my room, I noticed the door was open. As I entered my room I turned on the lights so I could see if anyone was in there. On my bed, Alois was sitting down; waiting for me. Just seeing him in my bed made me want to cry. I ran over to him as he held his arms open. He wrapped his arms around me as I cried again into his shoulder.

"It's okay," he cooed.

"No it's not!" I exclaimed as I pushed him off me. "You don't get it? Do you?"

He gave me a clueless look, which made me want to smack him across the face. If Claude found out I was pregnant, then he'd also find out that I slept with Alois. He'd kill me then surely. Well he'd find out soon. Right now I knew I couldn't tell Alois about Claude's intentions to murder me, so I lied by saying, "The baby will be half vampire, so that means I'll have to take more blood from you. I don't want anything bad to happen to you because of our baby."

"Lucy relax," he whispered as he lay down next to me, hand pressed against my stomach. He pulled my white sheets over us before kissing me. "Everything will be fine."

I wanted to believe him, really I did. But it was impossible. In a matter of months, Claude would know. And I'd be dead.

I'm apologizing to the people that didn't want Lucy to be pregnant, but like more than twenty people voted for this option. So now Lucy is going to have a half human half vampire baby... it's what most of you guys wanted so don't blame me.

Please review even if you don't like what's happening :)
