Chapter 12

Jill's POV

I walked in to the hospital room, and saw Sydney leaning over the side of her bed, into a little cot.

"Hi!" I smiled at Sydney, then down at the little baby. She had Sydney's exact eye colour, and Myrnin's hair. "Look at the little baby girl!"

She smiled at me. Adrian walked in, and her smile brightened. We both cooed over the baby for a while, before Adrian asked, "What's her name?"

"Oh, you're going to love this!" Sydney laughed. Myrnin, who had been sitting in a chair beside her bed, took her hand and laughed with her. "Her name is Adrienne."

Adrian and I froze in shock for a moment, before I started laughing at him.

"Really?" Adrian asked, shocked.

"Yeah." Sydney smiled at him, and he leaned down and hugged her.

"Visiting hours are over," called a nurse.

"Can I stay with her?" Myrnin asked.

"Yeah, sure."

Adrian drove me back to the house, smiling.

"I can't believe she named her after me!"

"Its great, Adrian," I said, smiling at him.

Myrnin's POV

Holding Adrienne, I couldn't help but smile. She had the exact same face as her mother, if it wasn't for her hair. Sydney groaned when she started crying.

"I have her, Sydney, don't worry." I got a knife and cut my wrist, bringing it to Adrienne's mouth. She could survive on human or vampire blood, it seemed.

"Myrnin, is she ok?" Sydney asked.

"She's fine, love. Don't worry so much."

She smiled lazily. "Worrying is what I'm best at." She looked at Adrienne and grimaced at the sight of her drinking blood.

"Sorry." I turned my back to her so she couldn't see.

"Guess I'm gonna have to get used to that," she sighed.

"Yeah, you probably will." I turned back around. "So, Adrienne is a beautiful name."

Sydney blushed. "I'd been thinking about it for a while... I wanted to name her after someone close to me. You can choose her middle name if you want. Its fair."

"Sydney, there's nobody I'm close to, really, except you. Unless you want her middle name to be Claire."

For some reason, her blush deepened when I said that.

"Sydney?" I asked.

"A few months ago... Shane said something about you... and Claire."

I froze. "If it was Shane Collins that said it, don't believe it. He's extremely jealous."

"Oh." She sighed. "He was cheating on Claire."

"What?"

"With Jill."

"What!?"

"He told Jill that they were just good friends, not really going out." Sydney seemed to be drifting away, talking more to herself than me. "Little Jill. She still doesn't know. I don't think she ever will, unless I tell her. But, could I do that?" She grinned manically. "Everyone in that house seems to want one of them. Claire and Eddie, Adrian and Eve, Michael and Angeline, Shane and Jill. Claire and Eddie, Adrian and Eve..." Her voice trailed off and she fell asleep.

What a weird thing for her to be saying while she was falling asleep. I shrugged and continued feeding Adrienne.

Eve's POV

"Adrian, I really have to go," I murmured as he kissed my neck.

"Must you?"

"Yeah. Its my turn to make dinner..." My voice trailed off, and his mouth moved back to mine.

"Adrian?" Angeline called. "You were supposed to do the laundry!"

"Ignore her," he whispered.

This used to feel like I was cheating on Michael. That feeling went away, though. Of course it did, as he broke up with me months ago.

"Adrian Ivashkov, I know you're here! Your car's in the driveway and your cigarette box is out!"

He groaned and rolled over on the bed. I laughed at his unwillingness to get up, and he winked at me before we went downstairs.

"Oh... Hey, Eve!" Angeline laughed. "Um... Staying for dinner?"

"Dinner or feeding time?" I winked at them.

"Hey, I'm not a blood-drinker. When I say dinner, I mean dinner!"

I laughed. "Then yeah, sure, why not!"

Shane's POV

"You're sure you want to do this?" Jill asked, smiling sweetly.

"Yeah," I smiled back at her.

She brought her fangs down to my neck. It was pure, undefined happiness, after the first flare of pain. She pulled away all too soon, leaving me feeling drugged and happy.

"Man, I see why Eve lets Adrian do that! That was amazing!"

Jill smiled radiantly. God, she had a beautiful smile. It was part of the reason I had chosen her over Claire.

She lay down beside me on the sofa, and I wrapped my arms around her.

"I'd better get you a Coke," Jill giggled.

"Hey, Claire!" I heard her say in the kitchen. "Hey, Eddie!"

Oh, God.

"Hey, Jill," Eddie and Claire said together.

"Want a Coke?"

"Sure!" Claire laughed.

"No, thanks." Eddie laughed and they walked into the sitting room. Claire stopped dead, seeing me on the sofa. Eddie stared at my neck.

"Jill Mastrano-Dragomir!"

"Yeah, Eddie?" she called meekly.

"Get in here!"

She walked in, carrying 3 Cokes. She handed one to me, and to Claire. She popped her can open and sipped it.

"Jill, what were you thinking?"

"He asked!"

Eddie looked shocked. "Really?"

"Yeah! I was explaining how Rose described being bitten felt like and... He was curious."

I nodded to show that she was telling the truth.

"Jill, that was seriously irresponsible! You can't go around feeding off humans when we promised we'd use the Donation Centre!"

"He asked me to do it! And, he isn't exactly complaining!"

"That's not the point, Jill!"

"I don't care!" she yelled. "This is none of your business, Eddie!"

"How isn't it? I'm here as your guardian!" he exclaimed.

"Eddie, you're my guardian. You're here to keep me safe, not control me!"

"Fine, Jill! Go on, bite Shane as much as you want to the guy who cheated on Claire!"

Jill froze. I froze. Claire gasped.

"What?" Jill asked. She turned to me.

"He cheated on Claire, with you," Eddie explained.

"Oh, my God." She looked at me.

"I'm so sorry, Jill."

"Um... I'm going to go see Sydney and Adrienne."

She ran from the house as fast as she could.

Sydney's POV

"Adrienne, Adrienne," I cooed, holding my baby in my arms.

"Sydney, Sydney..." Myrnin mimicked my tone, and kissed my cheek, then kissed Adrienne's forehead. "I love you both."

I smiled at him. "And we love you." I turned and kissed him.

Adrienne started crying.

"Oh, I think she's hungry!" I sighed, handing her over to Myrnin.

He laughed at my discomfort before tearing at his wrist. I gasped and looked away.

"It barely hurts, love," he swore.

"Still, it makes me uncomfortable." I sighed.

"That's ok, Sydney." He smiled at me.

There was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!"

I opened the door.

"Hey, Sydney."

"Hey, Jill. Come in."

She sat on the sofa beside Adrienne and Myrnin. I sat on the other side of her.

"Shane was going out with Claire, and he cheated on her with me! And I only found out today!"

"Oh, sweetie! I had no idea!"

Myrnin looked at me strangely. "But, Sydney, you did know. You told me!"

"What? No I didn't! When?"

"The night after everyone visited us in the hospital!"

"I... Don't remember that..."

"Yeah, here, I wrote down what you said because it was so weird... Here!"

He read:

"He was cheating on Claire. With Jill. He told Jill they were just friends, not really going out. Little Jill. She still doesn't know. I don't think she ever will, unless I tell her. But, could I do that? Everyone in that house seems to want one of them. Claire and Eddie, Adrian and Eve, Michael and Angeline, Shane and Jill. Claire and Eddie, Adrian and Eve..."

"That's when you fell asleep."

"My God..."

"That's amazing!" Jill laughed.

"Its weird..." I giggled. "But, that's not the point! I can't believe he never told you!"

"Ugh, neither can I. But, I'll probably stay with him."

"Really?"

"Yeah. I mean, its not like he cheated on me, right?"

"Well, he kind of did... In a way. I mean, he was seeing you and Claire at the same time, wasn't he?"

"I suppose..." She sighed. "But, I'm still going to stay with him, I think."

"Well, thats your choice, Jill."

AN: I certainly wouldn't have gotten back with him!:P
