***************************** PART 5 ************************************
I wake up to cramps in my stomach; I roll over and almost topple off the bed.
"Aahh." I yell, pulling myself back before I fall off.
"Nila? Are you okay?" Someone asks.
I look over to where the voice came from, and find myself looking up into a pair of ever changing eyes.
"Oh, I'm fine Ash. Just decided the best way to get off the bed was to fall off." I mumble to my friend.
"Have fun." Ash says, smirking at me.
"What time is it Ash?" I ask.
"Three thirty in the afternoon." Ash answers, looking at his watch. "Why?"
"How long have I been asleep for? And what time did I get here?" I ask.
"You've been asleep for almost four hours, and you got here at eleven this morning." He replies, looking puzzled.
"Where's Thierry?" I sit up, with the aid of Ash, and swing my legs over the edge of the bed.
"Somewhere." He replies.
"Great. Just when he's needed, he scampers off somewhere. I'm going to put a bell on that guy." I mutter.
Ash fails at trying hard not to laugh; he ends up doubling over gasping for breath, from laughing so hard.
"Ash, it wasn't that funny.' I say to him.
"Yes, it was.' He replies, calming down.
"O………Kay." I reply.
The door opens to reveal (drum roll please.) Thierry, he walks over to me and glances at Ash who's trying not to giggle.
"Hello." I say to him.
"Hello." Thierry replies. "How are you feeling?"
"Junior is alive and kicking, but other than having him playing underwater jump rope in my stomach, I'm just peachy.' I reply.
"Nila, I've been meaning to ask you something." He says.
"Shoot." I urge him on.
"Did that guy…uh." He starts.
"Daray." I offer.
"Daray, did he say anything to you about your son?" Thierry finishes, looking at me sideways.
"Yes. As a matter of fact, he did." I reply.
"What did he say?" he asks.
"Well, he exact words were that he wanted to make sure that 'Circle Let's-all-prance-around-with-flowers-in-our-hair-and-sing-about-peace-and-love' doesn't get in the way of my son being born, and also he told me how I can make my son to be 'just like every dammed tree hugging hippy in Daybreak' and be born 'with flowers in his hair'." I reply.
Thierry frowns when I say about Daybreak, and Ash just bursts out giggling like a schoolgirl.
"How?" he asks, once Ash calms down after Thierry gives him a stern look.
"He said that I have to go to a witch in Brockport New York, called Callisto and get her to 'prance around, be merry and chant some sort of gobbledegook mumbo jumbo'." I reply.
Ash sniggers again.
"Ash! Please! Will you just grow up?" Thierry almost yells at an astonished Ash.
"No more sugar for you Mister Redfern." I mutter.
"Sorry Thierry." Ash mumbles, looking at the floor.
"Did he say that you had to go to New York? Can't Callisto come here?" Thierry asks.
"Well…Daray did say to go to New York, but I don't see why she can't just come here." I reply.
"Okay. I'll get James to track down this witch Callisto and see if she'll come here to Vegas." He says, heading for the door.
"Uh…Thierry?" I start.
"Yes Nila?" Thierry half turns, he's not looking at me but I can tell he's listening to me.
"Callisto has to do this spell before midnight tonight." I finish.
"Why midnight tonight?" he asks.
"I think that the baby will be born around that time." I reply.
"Okay." Thierry saunters out of the room, leaving Mister High-on- glucose and me alone.
"So…"Ash starts. "Thought of a name for the little Snowflake here?"
"Snowflake?" I ask, amused.
"Yeah. You know, Nila Snow. You're not exactly married to Miles." He explains.
"No, I now what you meant by Snowflake. My dad used to call me that all the time." I mutter.
"So…have you?" Ash asks.
"Have I what?" I ask confused.
"I swear, you've got the same memory span as a gold fish. And they say us blonds are stupid." He mumbles, "Have you thought of a name for the little sprite that is growing inside you?"
"Not yet." I murmur. "I'm going downstairs to the kitchen, I've suddenly got the urge to drink blood."
Ash looks at me funny.
"Don't look that way at me Mister Redfern, you know fine rightly that I'm part vampire." I add.
"Yeah I know." Ash mumbles.
"Are you coming with?" I ask him, getting off the bed, and head for the door.
"Yeah." He replies, following me out the door.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Thierry walks into the kitchen as I'm sitting at the table with Poppy, Mary-Lynnette, Quinn, Rashel, Hannah, Miles and Ash. I've got a tall glass full of blood.
"Making up for lost time?' he asks, indicating the glass of blood.
"No, I've got cravings.' I reply.
"I thought, you'd like to know, that Callisto is coming here, she'll be arriving in about four hours." Thierry says.
"What about you're guy Saulmann? Have you heard anything from him?" I ask.
"Yes. I said that when you're son is born, it's only the humans that die." He replies.
"Tell me something I don't know? Daray told me that earlier." I mutter.
"Daray?" Poppy asks.
"Yeah, the guy that kidnapped me as called Daray." I reply.
"Oh." She replies.
"I'm going to lie down, my stomach hurts." I say to them, getting up and heading to the main living room with my glass of blood in hand. Miles follows me.
"Are you okay Nila?" he asks.
"Yeah, sure. I'm just a little sore. My back feels as if it's about to snap." I reply, sitting down on the maroon coloured couch.
"Here, let me rub it for you." He says, sitting behind me and starts rubbing my back.
"That feels good." I mutter, leaning back into his arms. Miles leans down and kisses me.
"Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" he asks.
"Not today, no." I reply, closing my eyes and drift off to sleep, which I seem to be doing a lot lately.
"I love you a lot, and I don't care if you're about to give birth to the Anti- Christ." He answers.
"Thank you. You really know who to flatter a girl." I murmur.
"No. I really know how to flatter a woman." He replies.
I give a faint smile and before I fall asleep I ask.
"Wake me up when Callisto gets here?"
"Okay beautiful." Miles answers. I fall asleep, and I vaguely feel Miles lowering me on my back.
