Thanks to biggest amount of reviews I have ever had in one day (thanks every1!) Here is the next chapter! Hope you enjoy it.

Anna opened her eyes and looked around her. She was back in her room, in her own home. She could feel pain radiating from every inch of her body, and felt her eyes well up with tears as she remembered what Dracula did to her. She flinched with fear as the door clicked open, sitting upright, getting ready for whatever came through the door at her. When Gabriel's head appeared and he walked over to the side of the bed, she put her face in her hands and cried.

"Anna." He said softly, rushing over to his crying wife and cradling her against his chest. "It's alright. I'm here." He comforted, rubbing her back as she cried, soothing her tears until she pulled her face up to look at him.

"I thought he had come back." She told him, fearful that it was Dracula who had just entered her room. "I thought he was going to do it again." She buried her face in his chest, trying to deny what had happened. Not me, she thought. Please don't let it be true.

Gabriel sighed heavily, knowing what she was talking about. He was glad Dracula was well and truly dead, if not, he would have his put through an eternity of torture at his own hands for raping Anna. Of all the horrors Dracula had inflicted on her life, the loss of her family, and almost her own life, this was by far the worse. To make matters worse, there was still the possibility that their baby might be dead. Rachel had called out a doctor as soon as they arrived back and she had examined Anna, and would be able to tell them in a few days time whether the baby was still alive or not.

"I'm sorry that I can't take back what he did to you," Gabriel said softly, so she could only just hear him above her gentle crying, "but I promise you, I will help you through this." He buried his face in her hair as she rested her head on his shoulder. "Anything you want me to do, I'll do it."

"Megan" She muttered, between sobs. "I want to see Megan."

Gabriel closed his eyes for a moment. Anna had been home for a day and a half now, but he hadn't allowed Megan to see her mother yet, in fear of her injuries scaring the little girl. He knew that Anna, however, needed to see her daughter well to start her recovery. He hoped that seeing Megan alive would lighten her heavy heart a little. He kissed the top of her head, allowing her to sit up without leaning on him and stood up. "I'll go and get her." He told her gently.

He found Megan playing with Rachel in her bedroom. She was holding the dolls that Anna had played with as a child, and had passed down to her daughter. She had made a house scene for them using objects from her room. As Gabriel stood in the doorway, Rachel rose from the floor, her ancient bones staring to creak with age, and went over to him.

"How is she?" She asked with sincere worry. Gabriel nodded at the woman who raised the princess.

"She's awake. She wants to see Megan." Rachel glanced over at Megan with concern, also worrying about Megan being scared. Gabriel understood what she was feeling. "I know, but I can't keep them apart. They both want to see each other."

Gabriel went over and sat next to Megan. "Hey, baby. I need to talk to you about something really important." Megan put down her dolls and sat in her father's lap, facing him.

"Is it about Mommy?" She asked innocently. Gabriel nodded. "Is she alright?"

He didn't answer her directly. "She's awake now, and she wants to see you." Megan's face lit up. "But before you go in to see her, I need to understand that you have to be careful with Mommy." He told her, she looked seriously at him, showing her father that she understood what he was telling her. "She's still hurting, and she's very upset and scared. But I know what will make her feel better."

"What's that?" Megan asked him.

He ruffled her hair. "A cuddle from her little girl." He smiled. He lifted his daughter up with him as he stood up. He carried Megan into his and Anna's room, pushing the door open with his foot. He was happy to see Anna was no longer crying, but she did look very sad still.

He set Megan down on the side of the bed and sat on the edge, watching with love in his eyes as Megan crawled into Anna's lap and Anna put her arms around Megan, holding her tightly despite her pain. As much as it hurt to move even a little, she wanted her daughter in her arms more than she wanted release from the pain.

"Are you alright baby?" Anna asked her, smoothing her hair as she hugged her.

Megan nodded. "I'm fine. I was a good girl for Carl and Rachel while Daddy came to get you." She said, proud she had done what she was told when her father wanted her to, and that he hadn't had to ask her to do it four times like he would usually have to.

"Good." Anna sighed. She was scared that Dracula would have come back for Megan, but it seemed not, her daughter was alive, as was she.

"Does it hurt Mommy?" Megan asked, looking at the large fist shaped bruise on Anna's cheek. She reached out to touch it, but remembered what Gabriel said about her mother being in pain and recoiled her hand.

"A little, but don't worry about me, sweetheart. Mommy will be well again soon." She assured, though it was more a hope than a reassurance.

"Will Daddy make you better?"

Anna smiled softly at Megan's child like angelic features as her small forehead creased in worry for her mother. Anna didn't answer her, only became lost in thought in her daughters face. She remembered what her father had told her about her and Gabriel. Megan is a true angel, Anna realised, our own baby angel. Instead, Gabriel answered his daughter, thinking that Anna didn't know how to answer the little girl.

"Of course. Daddy will look after your mother. I'll make it all better." He told Megan. Megan smiled at him.

Anna could think of no other person she would want to help her body and mind heal after this event. Gabriel had saved her so many times in the past; she was yet to make it up to him, and she hoped that no matter what the future brought, she would never be in a position where his life was in the balance anyway. She realised that she had made it up to him in a different way though. In the form of a small girl, sitting in her lap, smiling at her father and mother. They had proven their love to one another by creating her, and raising her to be the angel she was. As she sat with her daughter in her arms and Gabriel within arms reach, his hand resting comfortingly on her knee, she finally realised that she would get through her ordeal with Dracula. She knew that Gabriel would help her through it, and continue to stay with her, helping her through everything life threw at them, for the rest of their lives together. And one day, in the far off future, she realised that even in death they would not be separated, for surely they would reclaim their places as Angels of Heaven.

She let a small tear fall from her eyes and into Megan's hair, though she did not feel it. Gabriel had saved her, just like he promised he would. He always kept his promised, and he had not failed to rescue her from Dracula's arms yet again.
