Chapter 10
Claire's POV
I was out having dinner with Eddie. I had a great time, Eddie was hilarious, but he was kind of uptight. He said that it was because of his guardian training. He drove me home, pulled in to his driveway and walked me to my door.
"Looks like Shane and Jill aren't back yet," he murmured.
"Oh." Great.
He kissed my cheek before walking back to his house.
"Claire!" Eve yelled from inside.
"Coming!"
"CB, did he just kiss you?" Eve asked.
"Ssh!" I gasped. "Where's Michael?" I asked.
"Over next door, talking to Angeline and Adrian."
"Ok." I giggled. "He just kissed my cheek," I defended.
"Claire!"
"What!?"
She sighed. "Nothing. Want to go see Sydney in the morning?"
"I have work there, anyway."
"Alright! I'll drive you there, and then I'll wait and drive you back!"
"Ok, Eve."
A Month Later
Sydney's POV
No, no, no, no...
This isn't possible...
My phone rang.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Sydney? Are you ok?" came Jill's voice through the phone.
"Mm-hmm," I muttered. "Are you still coming over tonight?"
"Yeah, of course!"
"Will you bring something for me?"
"Yeah, sure, what?"
Myrnin's POV
Sydney seems so distant, its scaring me. She is usually very close - sitting curled up with me on the sofa or the bed, always holding my hand - but for the past few days, she has been keeping to herself.
She jumped up and ran to the door when the doorbell rang.
"Hi, Jill!" I heard her exclaim.
"Hey." Jill sounded subdued.
"Come on!" I saw Sydney run past, dragging Jill into the bathroom.
Well, she clearly wants to be alone. I didn't listen to the conversation.
About half an hour later, they came out of the bathroom. Sydney was crying.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
She sat down beside me and took my hand. "Um... I'm pregnant."
I gaped at her. "Wha-wha-what?" I stammered.
"Yeah."
"But...B-but... See, that's not... That's not possible!"
"My period's a week late, and the test was positive. I'm going to the hospital now."
"Oh..."
"You don't have to come! Jill said she'd bring me!"
I shook my head. "No, I'll, uh... I'll come, and wait in the waiting room."
"Ok."
"Wait, I can't come. Its sunny out!"
"Oh, well, I'll be home soon."
She kissed me and they left.
Eddie's POV
Jill had said she'd be home soon. It was way past soon! She was two hours later than she said she would be!
I heard a car outside and ran out to her. Sydney was with her.
"Sydney?"
"Yeah?" She smiled weakly.
"Umm... Hey?"
"Hey. Will someone call Myrnin and tell him I'm sleeping here?"
"I will, sweetie," Jill promised.
Sydney looked ready to collapse, so I picked her up and carried her into her old room.
"What's up?" I asked Jill, shutting the door quietly.
"I'm sure she'll tell you." Jill groaned. "I'm going to bed."
Sydney's POV
I walked downstairs, into the kitchen. Jill sat alone at the table.
"Jill, can I still drink coffee?" I asked her.
"I don't know... Don't just in case."
"Ugh," I groaned. "This is going to be a long 9 months."
Adrian and Eddie walked in, both just in pajama bottoms.
"Sage?" Adrian asked.
"Yeah, Sydney slept here last night," Jill told him.
"Why?"
"Umm..." I sighed. "I'm pregnant."
They gaped at me.
"Yeah," Jill nodded.
"I should really go tell Myrnin..." I giggled. "Will someone drive me home?"
"I will," Adrian offerred.
"Thanks," I smiled at him.
Adrian's car sat outside, and I climbed into the passenger seat.
"Sydney..."
I looked at him, surprised at the seriousness in his tone. "Yeah?"
"You're... You're pregnant. Pregnant."
"Yeah..."
"From a vampire!"
"Yeah, I know, Adrian..."
"So, you're carrying a dhampir!"
I froze. "I didn't think of that... But, Myrnin's not the same type of vampire as you. The baby will probably be different too, y'know?"
"Suppose... But it will probably be similar to a dhampir."
"Well, I guess we'll find out in 9 months... God, I hope it doesn't need to drink blood!"
"I can just imagine you feeding a kid blood, Sage!"
Myrnin's POV
Sydney walked in and hugged me. She thanked Adrian for bringing her home and invited him in, but apparantly he was having lunch with Eve.
"So, what did the doctor say?" I asked her, once we were alone.
"He said I'm pregnant," she sighed.
"Oh." I smiled. "I think its great."
She laughed. "Do you?"
"Yeah, I do."
"Myrnin, we don't even know what its going to be!"
"What do you mean?" I asked her, confused.
"I mean, I'm a human and you're a vampire! The baby might need to drink blood or-"
"This is still about your prejudice against vampires, isn't it?"
She gasped, shocked. "Of course it isn't! But we don't know how much of a vampire or human it's going to be!"
"That shouldn't matter, Sydney! If it needs blood, you don't need to have anything to do with feeding it! I'll take care of it, I promise."
She buried her face in my chest, and I could feel her crying. "You promise?"
"Of course." I kissed her hair, and held her tight as she cried.
AN: Bet you weren't expecting that!;)
