Anna looked out into the rain filled sky, watching it hit the window, listening to the tapping of it against the window. Her heart seemed down, worried of the future, still not able to think right, only hoping things were not what they seemed. Dracula had watched her intensely, hoping there would be some sign of relief to her, but none appeared.
"I need to go into the market tomorrow morning to pick up a few groceries, do you want anything?" Anna asked Dracula as they sat in the carriage, going to Prague for their late summer vacation. Dracula looked at Anna, raising an eyebrow. "No, I'm fine." He said to her. Anna nodded. They had reached the castle after nearly a full night of riding in the carriage. Dracula had notice her twiddling her fingers seeming impatient which was abnormal for her.
"Are you sure there is nothing to talk about?" Anna looked up, giving him a glare. It would have been easily the fourth time during the trip he had asked questions relating to her mood swings. Dracula immediately took it as a no and stood quiet throughout the trip.
They walked up the many stairs towards their room. Anna opened it and almost gasped in shock. Rose petals were spread throughout the whole room and candles lit the room dimly. Dracula came from behind her and placed his hands gently on her stomach. Anna took in a quick breath as he touched her stomach, making her seemingly worried. Wine was set next to the bed, with Dracula leaving her side to pour two drinks for them.
Her mind screamed no as she watched the red liquid. Handing her a glass she gave him a small smile and slowly put it up to her mouth, but not drinking it. She walked towards the nearby plant, looking at it intently. Dracula turned around for a moment to put the bottle back. Anna watched him as she dumped her drink in the plant's soil. Dracula turned around to see Anna finishing the last bit of her wine.
Anna put the glass down and walked towards the bed sitting on it looking up to him. Dracula walked closer to her sitting down next to her. Her eyes were blank, no emotion or thought behind them as Dracula sipped his wine slowly. He then threw the glass the side, hearing a small clash of the glass and the stone floor.
Dracula began to kiss her neck vigorously, hoping it would cheer her up. Anna shrugged her shoulder, accidently hitting his chin. He growled with anger. Anna got up, but Dracula grabbed her arm making her sit back down. Anna glared at him,
"Leave me alone." She said harshly to him.
"And what Anna, my dear would you do if I don't ?" He asked her.
"Just please leave me be. That is all I ask for, just one night where I can sleep in peace without you groping me or even touching me." She now sounded innocent.
Dracula gave her a glare. "I am tired of you acting like this. There is something bugging you and you wont tell me. Has someone died, or did something happen? Did I say something? Anna please just tell me." He now was squeezing her hand.
Anna got up, as Dracula followed. "Your like a annoying puppy who wont leave people alone, I hope you do realize that." She said as she began to walk towards the corridors.
"All in the name of love." He remarked back at her.
"Well right now there is no love, but hate." She remarked towards him.
"It's called marriage, love."
"Well here is my marriage." They had reached another bedroom with Anna now shutting the door in Dracula's face and locking it waiting for the night to pass.
Anna awoke the next morning anxious of what was intended for the day. She grabbed her jacket and boots, leaving the castle unnoticed. She walked down the narrow road until she found a carriage, allowing rides. Anna rode the carriage to a building only a few miles away. It was a large building, one Anna had never been into before, but heard it was extremely nice for the new type of practice in it.
Anna walked in the busy hallways finally reaching a ugly metal desk. An old woman in a old fashioned white outfit looked up to her, her white hair matching everything else. "I need to...um...see Doctor Winchester." The woman nodded her head and pointed towards a old waiting room, already looking run down. She sat in the old green chair waiting for the doctor to call her name. Finally after a nearly a half an hour of waiting the doctor had come out and talked to Anna, allowing her in the examination room.
Anna had never seen so many instruments of medicine. Hoping it would be safe she sat on the chair, explaining her problem the doctor. Now on the examining table she winced as he checked her pelvic area, for what she had been hoping was true.
"I am happy to say that it's positive." The doctor said suddenly. Anna let out a sigh of relief but a sudden pain a scare came through her.
"Thank you." She said leaving the doctor's office. Walking out she stepped into the warm sun, enjoying the heat it was giving off. Her mind now clouded with thoughts of her future again. She wanted to have it, but she did not knowhow Dracula would react. Walking down the hill she saw Dracula coming up it, watching her intently. The hot sun now beat upon Anna's back. Her jacket laid across her hands as she stopped looking at Dracula. They both looked at each other.
A sudden look of innocense came across Anna's eyes. She had tears nearly strolling down her cheeks but she stopped them. Dracula looked at Anna and walked up the short distance of the hill to her. They then were only a few inches apart looking into each others eyes. His eyes were calm and soft as she looked into them, trying to see if any anger lurked behind them. Anna suddenly hugged him as he whispered in her ear, "I love you no matter what." Anna whispered back at him, "Now you'll have another person to love."
Dracula leaned back form the hug and looked in her eyes. He moved the strand of hair away from her face, giving a look of confusion. Anna could tell he was thinking of it, "I'm pregnant."
