13. Decisions

I cried the whole night and did not sleep an hour. That Dracula wanted his own child dead made me feel sad and angry. I had many things expected from him but that! But I couldn´t wait any longer. I had to talk to him.

So I left my room and entered his. He only stared at me in disbelief as if he wondered why I was here. "I won´t kill my child!", I said loudly and simply. He rose from the chair he was sitting on and walked over to me. "You don´t have to do it. I will kill him before he´s born."

"Why do you want to do such a thing? It´s our child and I won´t let that happen!", I told him. "Then I will kill him right after he is born."

"You are so cruel! ... why are you so sure that it will be a son?", I asked. For a moment I thought that he wished for a child. "It doesn´t matter. It´s too dangerous to have a child now." - "Dangerous for you?", I asked. No answer. "Then I will leave you."

"No. It´s dangerous for the child. If I don´t kill it someone else will. If someone knows about a child wich parents we are..." - "Noone has to know. Did you ever think about a son? Someone who will be like you and replace you if you die", I interrupted him.

Dracula thought about my words and finally said: "Alright then. If it´s a boy you will leave him here and go away. But if it´s a girl it will be killed."

"In order to tell you what I feel: I won´t leave you and I won´t let you kill our child. If someone goes then I will go with my child. I think it´s the best..." I couldn´t speak the word way.

The pain in my stomach was on his climax now. My face was pale as death. I grabbed my stomach in pain. I was nearly about to fall but he wrapped his strong arms around me. "The baby is coming", I said. Carefully he lifted me up and placed me on his bed. He stroked my cheek and whispered: "I´m going to help you. Don´t be afraid. Just trust me."

I was so happy that he was there for me but he couldn´t do anything for the pain. It took over 24 hours to bear the child. And I was even more happy after it was over and Dracula held the child in his arms.

"What is it?", I asked him and tried to relax now. It still hurt. "It´s a girl but I will make it fast." - "No! You can´t do that! Please, let me see her!", I protested, "...please."

After a few seconds he laid the small girl in my arms. The baby of course had her eyes closed. For a moment I could only look at the human being that I held close to me. But then I burst into tears. I cried like I never did before. To have my own daughter meant everything to me.

"Stop crying. You can keep her two days. Two days not less, not more", Dracula said softly. I wouldn´t have believed what he did next when I didn´t see it.

He laid down beside me and wrapped one arm around my shoulders. His other hand he laid near the baby, wich grabbed and held it. "I think I will name her Róse. She is so beautiful", I said and smiled.

"Like her mother", said Dracula and placed a kiss on my forehead, "I´m proud to have a family. But you have to understand that we can´t bring her and us in danger."

"I wished it was a boy", I said sadly and closed my eyes. Probably I fell asleep in his arms because I awoke there. Only Róse was missing. "Where is she?", I asked and rose from the bed. But as I looked around I saw her sleeping in a chair.

"You didn´t kill her!", I said happily and took her in my arms. "I told you I would do it in two days", he said but it sounded as if he didn´t mean it.

After a silence that got between us I said: "I want to thank you." - "For what?" - "For you help. That you were there is very important for me."

I walked back into my room and looked for a place for Róse. I still couldn´t believe that I was the mother of this pretty girl. Finally I used two chairs and put them together. I laid her into the handmade bed. Then I sat down on my bed ,from where I could reach her, and stroked her cheek. I felt so happy and at peace.

And I did something I didn´t do for a long time. I prayed to god that he shall allow her into heaven in two days.

And with 5 reviews I´ll post the next chapter! Of course you can tell me what I shall write and if you want a kind of sequel. Because after chapter 16 I run out of ideas for the story. But you must know that there are some things that I have to write. Ok then, just review -Angel-
