Epilogue
Five year old Lizzie and 10 year old Wolfie were sent to stay with the Count as Ingrid was busy. Bertrand would've watched them but he was in an improtant meeting, covering for Vlad's absence.
Vlad was holding his wife's hand tightly as she squeezed it to breaking point as she was hit by a contraction. There had been many threats of 'Vlad you're gonna wish you were never unborn' 'After this you're never touching me again' and Ingrid's personal favourite ' I'm gonna stake you in your sleep.' These were amoung the many threats that Erin had made to Vlad since she went into labour and Vlad was pretty sure she was serious about some of them.
"OK Erin. Nearly done. Just one more push." Ingrid instructed her sister-in-law. "Ready?" She nodded. "OK, push. OK, congratulations it's a girl." Ingrid anounced as the newborn began to cry as it was held, still attached to it's mother. Vlad cut the cord seperating them and kissed his wife in congrats.
"I love you so much." He murmered his lips against her forehead. Erin was too exhausted. She had spent the last 16 hours in labour. And it was painful to say the least.
"What're you gonna call her?" Ingrid asked laying the newborn in her mother's arms. Erin looked at Vlad who turned to his sister.
"Nicole Ingrid Dracula. Welcome to the world." He said to the baby as a solo tear escaped from his eye.
