Chapter 53

Jean bound happily into Josef's arms after Danielle and Coop left. Danielle had been more upset about the news than she had thought. She had been able to talk her into taking a real pregnancy test, and then talking to Coop that it would be fine. Jean thought it must just be shock.

"How did she take it?"

"I think she's in shock right now. She didn't really say much just asked how I knew."

"You seem happy about it."

"Well it's a good day. Seth is awake and going to be okay, my best friend is pregnant and…just hearing the echo makes me smile."

Josef kissed her temple, "You are my girl. You did very good; some vampires believe it or not don't pick up on the faint echo."

Jean smiled thinking she was special, "I had a good teacher."

Josef grinned, "What else did this teacher…teach you?"

Jean grinned, "Why don't I show you?"

Josef allowed Jean to pull him by the belt buckle up to their room, unbuckling it as she went along with his shirt. When they finally reached the bedroom Jean pushed his shirt from his shoulders, and let him kick off his pants. When his hands began to pull her blouse up and trace her stomach she pulled away shaking her finger at him, "I'm the teacher tonight."

Josef wiggled his eyebrows in anxious anticipation of what she had in store for him, his boxers tenting to show just how eager all of him was. Jean reached her small hand down and pulled them over his tip letting them fall down to his feet to be kicked away as well, "Lay on the bed."

Josef followed her command and laid in the center of the bed propping up on his elbows so he could watch Jean. Jean quickly rid herself of her clothing and crawling up on the bed with him leaning over him kissing him on the lips nipping his lip pulling it with her teeth grazing it gently with her fang as she sucked the few drops of blood moaning at the taste. Josef moved his hands to move her above him but she stood up on the bed straddling him smiling down at him.

Jean turned facing away from him, giving Josef a view of her butt he enjoyed deeply before the sight of her sinking to her knees. Taking him in her hand she glided him into her hot sheath moving her hands to his knees as she began to move on him. Josef groaned as he began to thrust up, reaching his hands to her bouncing ass taking it into his hands and guiding her up and down, forwards and back as she rode him. The whole while the view for him watching himself slide in and out of her tight depth had him squeezing and kneading her hips.

Jean was moaning and throwing her head back loving the feel but she wanted more of him, want to touch more of him. Grinding down she leaned back but didn't stop until she was laying back on his chest moving an arm back to hold on behind his head. Josef growled as Jean purred at the new angle and depth he got not to mention skin on skin contact. He wasted no time in reaching around to play with her clit with one hand the other seeking her perked breasts.

Josef took over the thrusts as he sucked on Jeans neck. It wasn't long and they were both nearing the end, Jean pulled Josef's hand from her breast holding his arm at her lips tracing the spot she wanted to sink her fangs into, moaning as he sank his fangs into her neck before doing the same to his wrist. Together they drank, together they came, together they fell into the oblivion of their passion.

After they had finished they simply laid there, joined body pressed to body. "You have one hell of a teacher," Josef chuckled.

Jean giggled as she moved up pulling herself off of him disconnecting their bodies and turning over to lay with her heat on his chest, "Yes I do."

"Baby where did you come up with that one?"

Jean smiled as she started fading out, "You can learn a lot when you're bored surfing the web."

"I love the internet," Jean kissed his chest where she lay before she fell asleep in his arms, as he did holding her. They didn't need to be in the freezer right now, right now both were too tired from their love making to move to the freezer on the other side of the room. Later…

Coop had fixed them each a grilled cheese sandwich when she came out; her heart was beating so fast she felt she could pass out at any moment. Coop held up both plates before setting them down on the coffee table in front of the couch waiting for her to join him.

Danielle sat down facing him unsure how to say what needed to be said. Coop could see she was shaking and reached for her hands, "It's all going to be okay."

That did it; her tears fell as she hugged him. He didn't know what had happened in the shower to cause this, she had been handling everything very well, maybe it was only a matter of time before the damn broke loose. Happy to be there for her he held her tight stroking her back, telling her everything was okay, that he had her, until she calmed down.

When she pulled back she looked down wiping her eyes, "I hope you're right."

"What's the matter? What got you so upset? Seth is fine; we can call the hospital just to check if you want."

Danielle shook her head no, "It's not Seth."

"Then what is it? Are you feeling sick again?"

Danielle looked up to face him, "I'm…Coop I'm pregnant."

His mouth fell open for a moment, stuck in shock. She knew that's the same look she must have had it was big news but she needed to hear him say something.

"Are you sure…how…when?"

Danielle nodded her head yes, getting up she went into the bathroom coming back seconds later with the test in her hand. "I don't know…we're always safe."

Coop looked at the stick in her hand, clear as day it said pregnant no + or – signs here to misread. Coop couldn't figure out how this had happened, they were always careful, always used a condom… Then the reality hit him, "Do you know…when this happened…how pregnant you are?"

"I don't know. I'd say a month or so."

His face fell as it dawned on him what had happened, "I'm sorry. I…I don't know…"

Danielle began to cry again, here it was he couldn't handle a child and was going to run for the hills. She stood up, "I don't want anything from you, I just thought you deserved to know." She took off towards the bedroom, "Lock the door on your way out."

Coop stood up and followed her but she had shut the door. He knocked but all he heard was her soft sobs. "Danielle please let me in."

She didn't answer so he kept going, "Please let me help you."

"Help me how? You have to go I get it."

"Go? I'm not going anywhere."

"But you said…you're sorry I don't need to hear the rest, just go."

Coop hit his forehead to the door, "I'd never leave you, please open the door." He could hear her on the other side but she hadn't opened the door. "Please, I love you. I'm just sorry I screwed up, we were careful, you were but I… I'm sorry I wasn't."

Danielle opened the door then and Coop almost fell onto of her. She had her arms holding her stomach as she stood before him, "What do you mean you weren't?"

Coop held his head low as he braced himself on the door frame, "I swear I've always been careful…it's just that night you were…I was…I forgot."

Danielle played over in her mind all the times they had made love, she couldn't find a time when he wasn't careful, when he didn't use one. "You always do."

"Yes but that one time…I guess it's all it took. I'm so sorry I didn't…that I…but I was so overwhelmed I couldn't help it, I never even realized until just now what I did."

"When did you forget, I always remember you using one?"

"The first time I went down on you," Danielle's eyes went wide and her checks flushed remembering how it felt the first time he put his mouth on her. She had been shocked but excited at the same time, he brought her to orgasm with his mouth and then…

"Oh my God," her hand went to her mouth.

"I didn't mean to, it's just…God Danielle you tasted so good and I was so hard I wanted to be inside you I didn't think about a condom."

"Now what? I don't know what I'm supposed to do."

Coop reached out for her hand, "We go to the doctor and get you checked out. Then we handle it one step at a time…together. Unless you still want me to go."

Danielle shook her head NO and hugged him tight, "I want you to stay if you want to."

"I do."

Coop just held her tight still trying to process everything that had just transpired. She had thought he would leave her, knocked up with his baby flat out just walk away, he sighed. He never expected this, certainly didn't plan on it but he wasn't going to abandon her or his child.

"How long have you known?"

Danielle pulled back from him moving to sit on the edge of the bed as she played with her hands. "Tonight when Jean pulled me aside. She…asked how I was feeling and I told her…she said if she didn't know any better she'd think I was pregnant. I hadn't thought about it until she said that. So I got a test on the way home."

Coop sat beside her on the bed putting a hand on her thigh, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Danielle looked up at him, "I didn't want to…I wanted to be sure before I dropped this bomb. I didn't want to…" Danielle looked back to her hands before Coop pushed her hair behind her ear to see her.

"Didn't want to what?"

"Lose you," she answered honestly and softly making him strain to hear.

Coop wrapped his arms around her pulling her to him tightly, "Did you really think that I would just leave? I mean I never expected this and we certainly haven't talked about it but….did you really think I would just walk out?"

"I didn't want to think it. You've been so good to me…for me. You've been patient and caring and…I just thought this would be the straw that breaks the camels' back."

Coop chuckled at her analogy, "No, not at all. I'm not going anywhere."

Coop leaned back pulling them to fall back onto the bed feet still hanging over the edge, Danielle held him tight as some of her questions were answered but before she could think of anything else she needed one more answer, "Do you want children?"

Her voice was so soft and muffled by his chest he almost didn't hear the question. Pulling her back he looked into her eyes and she saw a sparkle, "I've always wanted to be a father someday. Never thought about when, just figured it would all fall into place in time if it was meant to be. What about you?"

Danielle shrugged her shoulders, "I never thought about it. I didn't have the best family life growing up, I didn't think I would be a good mom so I—"

"Hey now stop that. You turned out great in spite of it all. Look how well you look after your brother, you'll be a great mother. And I'm here to give you anything I can."

Danielle hugged him tight once more tears falling once more, this time tears of joy. Maybe this would work out after all.

"You hungry still?"

Danielle nodded into his chest, "Yes."

"Then let's go eat, the sandwiches should still be warm."
