Chapter 16:

-Meet the Parents-

Slowly Selene sat onto the edge of the sofa, where Michael had fallen asleep again. She had wrapped a brown, light and warm cover for herself, that she definitely couldn't find any clothing in Michael's room that fit her. She looked at him. This scene reminded her of the night, at she could save him from Lucian, but not before the bite which changed his fate... at the night, at which he had rescued her before bleeding to death and drowning. As she took him to the mansion... unconscious he lay there on the sofa... innocent and so human. She looked at the two necklaces that he carried around the neck. One of them she knew only too well. She touched her and had to keep it in mind, how dreadful it had to be for Lucian, to watch Sonja die. The other necklace was new and she didn't have any idea why he carried something like this. her hand glided over his breast and stopped, as she touched his face. Slowly, he opened the eyes and she smiled at him softly.

"Hey."

"Hey yourself. How do you feel?"

"I should ask you this, Michael. I'm fine... generally."

"Then, it wasn't in vain." he smiled somewhat sorrowfully.

"You almost lost your life about to keep a dead body alive. Have you to be like this!"

"I had rather lost my mind...will not happen again."

"I will hope this or I wished myself, that I've killed you when I had the chance." never before, she had this security, the affection, and above all love felt for somebody and in no way for a... vampire... Lycan... human being or whatever, but she felt strong on his side and she couldn't think off an eternity without him. Passionately, her lips touched his. his tongue glided over her sharp fangs and with intent cut itself at it. this did Selene resembles and her blood mingled, tasted good like sweetly nectar.Selene looked at him licked the lips and tasted the pure blood from Michael. Michael had tasted her blood for a long time no more, however, he didn't want to rob her and made a lot of money only with the minimum.

"Why did you do this?"

"I'm not afraid anymore that I could injure you. I was afraid to execute the revival, for a reason: my blood could kill you... in this lot."

"Something probably changed, but I don't regret it and this I have to owe you. But I can't nevertheless understand how it's possibly for me, to be still alive."

"Because I want it so." he kissed her. As he saw over her shoulder, he noticed Zed and Caleb standing in background. He smiled at Selene and sat up.

"Do we disturb you?" asked Zed to the security before they simply entered. Selene turned around and had some difficulties, to recognize both, that her own memories still had became blurred a bit, however, Michael explained it to her step by step and as she saw that he trusted them, so she could trust them too.

"Nice to have you with us again, Selene." smiled Caleb. He hardly had to know her the last time, and if he remembered properly, he never had been able to it. Selene also smiled.

„It's strange for me but, I'm glad to be back. Forgive me if I don't remember you completely but I give my best."

"We have now time." answered Zed.

Now, somewhat shyly, a young man appeared around the corner, and Selene's heart would be stand still, if she would have been alive. She looked undecided at Michael, he only nodded. "Go to him." he whispered to her. Uncertainly, she got up, clang at the cover and went to Alex. She looked at her... their son, but she couldn't express herself, how happy she was, instead she embraced him. He had so incredibly much in common with Michael.

"Mum..."

"Ah Alex... I thought I would never see you again."

"Michael told me how beautiful you are and I could never have imagined that you are so beautiful."

"You're like your father, a charmer."

"But he has your blemishes." Michael grinned shamelessly.

"is he always so mean to you... mum?" for the first time, he could use this word directly on her and it felt so good. He had a family, even if she was some different from others, however, he had somebody to love and that remained quite the same.

"Pretty much." she smiled. Alex fell into her arms and wanted to let her go never again and kissed her cheek.

"That's not true. I'm not mean... only honest." Selene grabbed a pillow of the nearby located chair and threw it directly Michael into the face.

"You get back this." and he threw it back at her into her face, but what she didn't expect... he was to fast to be perceived and he came directly before her while she removed the pillow from her face.

"That's unfair." he said laughing and kissed her. She became weak with his type how he could outwit her.

"Yes... this is it."

"Well this will become something." muttered, Alex grinning in itself. Michael and Selene embraced their son. A family was united. But whether this luck will last and whether it helped Michael to find himself, that lay far in the distant. What the little family had not noticed, it was still at daytime and that the whole time shone the sun easily into the room and Selene suddenly twitched abruptly back and did a fearful sound and looked at Michael inquiringly.

"Calm down..."

"Why... why doesn't this burn. Michael?" her voice trembled before fear and seized Michael's hand. Michael saw first to Alex then to the two in the background and he didn't know what to answer, although he suspected the answer, instead he embraced her and kissed her forehead. "Michael, what's going on here? What change causes your power on me? It scares me."

"Stop talking about power. All are talking here as if I would be almost a God or whatever, but I'm not. Somewhere, I have to have a weakness. Possibly my blood has transferred you some advantages... endure of daylight is one of it."

"I hope it's the only one, I don't endure any further strains."

"You know, I won't force you to go at the light, you don't have to see the sun, if you don't want."

"No, it's just... it's so terribly long ago, as I had felt the warmth of the sun, so long time ago, that I forgot, how it's like to feel her. I only need time, that's all what I'm asking for."

"I can live with it."
