Some days later... Lindsey just came back from one of his gigs. He didn't
know why but something had made him feel restless all evening. So he was
glad when he stood in front of the door to his apartment finally. Just then
he he heard someone call his name behind him.
"Hi Lindsey. Long time no see."
He turned around and looked right into Darla's eyes. No, this couldn't be... He drew a step back.
"What is it, dear? Don't tell me you're afraid of me suddenly." Darla smiled one of her most enchanting smiles at him. Until then Lindsey hadn't yet realized the state she was in. Darla was pregnant? How the hell could *that* be? Somehow he was too shocked to say anything.
"The lawyer at a lack for words... Jeez, I've never thought you'd have changed so much over the last few months." After a short pause she continued, "Or is it because of this?" Almost tenderly she stroke over her belly. "Ask me 'bout feeling uncomfortable."
Lindsey finally regained his composure. "What do you want?"
"Silly, do you always think I want something when I come to see you? Just thought I'd be polite and say hi to an old friend..."
"Who do you wanna fool, Darla? You're never gonna change."
"Guess I won't... but that's why you've missed me, haven't you?" Darla started to laugh. "I'm gonna go. See ya around." And with that she left.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
It took Lindsey a while till he was able to move again and get inside his apartment. *This* must have been a *very* strange dream... It just couldn't be possible that he'd just seen Darla - *pregnant*! He sat down and poured himself a drink. "This is so weird. First she disappears and then suddenly shows up again after so long." He couldn't get why. So much for sure - she was still a vampire, she definitely had no soul. But why did she come here of all places? And how can it be that a vampire carries a child? Quietly he mumbled "Too weird." again... and suddenly the thought occurred to him that he might be in danger - he knew what Darla was capable of doing. But how come he'd never felt really afraid in her presence? And he still didn't...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
In a motel room somewhere in the same area Darla also sat there, thinking. This had been fun. She had really enjoyed spinning Lindsey's head a little by showing up. And she knew him well enough to be sure that it had worked and smiled, satisfied with herself. But slowly another feeling crept up - the feeling that it had also been good to see him. It felt comfortable being around him, someone she knew. "Damn it! This can't be me thinking?!" Angrily she sent a glass of blood flying across the room.
