Author's Note: I would like to make 2 things clear. 1- Yes, Christina is pregnant. And this whole chapter is about that. 2- No, Ryoa is not a dampire. She is a demon. Like from hell. And she has fangs. And likes blood. But's she's still a demon.
I stood in the cities chapel late at night with the eerie silence. It was so quiet out tonight that I didn't even hear the cars out on the streets or the slight ring the bell gave off in complete stillness. I didn't even hear my own breathing.
It's been a month since that happened between Shuu and I. And I still didn't tell him. I didn't tell anybody that I was positive for being pregnant. But for a while; since finding out that I am pregnant, I started going to the church. My mother; biological, used to go to church when she found out that she was pregnant with me and she recommended that I should also go to church if I ever do become pregnant. So here I am.
The Sakamaki brothers don't know that I go to church; well they haven't been paying much attention to me, probably because I have been blocking them out.
Ryoa has been coming over for some studying because she is now flunking chemistry so Reiji and I have been helping her get her grades up. When the brothers first met her they weren't really fond of her for some reason. I think it's because she's a demon but she's a good person!
I sat on the very front pew of the church and look up at the stained glass cross and roses that was as tall as the chapel itself. In front of the stained glass was a table covered in a dark crimson cover with roses and rose petals scattered all over it. I took in their scent and a memory of Subaru pops into my head. He would usually hang around the rose gardens or a windowsill somewhere in the house. But Subaru always smelt like roses.
But what would he think if he were to find out that I was pregnant?
He'll be pissed. Maybe even beyond pissed.
I start to feel nauseated as I continue to sit in the pew. I held my stomach and lean forward a bit.
"Hey Christina." Looking up at the voice, I saw Ryoa standing above me with furrowed brows and a worried look.
"Ryoa? What are you doing here?" Demons can come into a church?
"Well, the question is what are you doing here?" She asks me as she sat down next to me. I gaze my eyes down to the ground, not answering her question. "Have you been sick lately? Because you have been throwing up and having stomach cramps lately."
I look up at Ryoa before reluctantly speaking. "I…. I'm pregnant."
Ryoa's eyes widen before she smiles widely and embraces me tightly.
"OH MY GOD CHRISTINA! I'm so happy for you!"
She looks down at me as I bit my lower lip and look down at the ground again.
"What's wrong?"
"I haven't told anyone yet."
"Not even the father?"
"Not even him."
She sat back in disbelief as I look back over to the cross and roses.
"That's why I'm here. I want some time before I even hint that I'm pregnant."
"Vampires and demons can sense when someone is pregnant. But I couldn't tell that you were pregnant because it's too early." She says in a quiet voice.
I nod my head slightly before I began to feel nauseated again. Feeling like I was gonna throw up any second, I quickly run into the bathroom and lean over the toilet. Ryoa follows me and gently holds up my hair behind my neck.
"Would it be fine if I took you somewhere?"

We both walk to a bar that was a bit outside of the city. It looks to be like an old vintage two story home, but Ryoa said that the first story is the bar and the second is the prostitutes play house. I'm still wondering why she took me here.
"Hey, chill. I've been coming here for a while. It's fine." She says with a nudge as I stare at the "No Minors" sign.
Walking into the bar, I notice that the entire bar was empty besides a good looking bartender on the other side of the counter. He looks up from washing glasses and slightly smiles as he saw Ryoa walk towards him with me following behind.
"Oi! Came back for a rematch?" He says as she sat down on a stool in front of him.
"Hell no! I won fair and square!"
"Ha. I went easy on you." The man then notices me and holds out his hand. "Hey, I'm Ukyo."
"I'm Christina." I tell him as we shook hands.
"Guessing you're Ryoa's friend." I nod my head in silence. "Cool. So what is she?" He asks Ryoa, making me look at them in confusion.
"She's a dampire." She tells him casually. "And pregnant. So she's gonna have an O."
"One O and one A. Coming right up." Ukyo says and walks into a backroom.
"Why did you tell him?" I ask.
"It's not like he is gonna tell the world. And he is good with pregnant woman. I'm his regular so I learn a lot from him. When a vampire or demon is pregnant, they don't know the bloodtype of the child so he'll give the mother O blood. Also, Ukyo is a vampire."
"One A and one O." Ukyo appears in front of us and sets down our drinks in front of us.
Ryoa has her blood in a fancy clear wine glass while I have a nearly full tall glass cup with a black straw in it. Ukyo also has some blood, but his was mixed in with whiskey and was in a shot glass. He quickly drowns it down before refilling his shot glass again. Next to me, Ryoa quietly sat with the wine glass between her index and middle finger, like she was in deep thought. Looking down at my still full cup, I gently pick it up and guide the end of the straw in my mouth. Drinking a little bit of blood, I suddenly began to feel a lot better. I didn't feel nauseated and I didn't feel the cramps.
"Like it?" She asks.
"Yeah. It's actually making me feel a lot better. Thank you." I take another sip of O blood and smile.

It's was about 1am and Ryoa and I were still at the bar hanging out with Ukyo. He's actually a really cool guy, to be honest. He doesn't compare to the Mukami or Sakamaki vampires, which is really cool. He also doesn't get drunk. He already drank a whole bottle of 100 proof whiskey, and he can still walk in a straight line! Like, WOW! Me on the other hand, am only on my second cup of blood while Ryoa is on her fifth glass.
The bar was quiet besides the voices and laughter from the three of us. Ryoa suddenly puts on a grim expression and turns in her stool to look at the closed door. Ukyo and I stop talking and look back in curiosity, until the door slams open and comes through is a very pissed off Subaru. My eyes widen and my body begins to shake when I saw him quickly making his way towards me. Without saying a word, he grabs hold of my wrist and pulls me towards the doors, where Shuu was also waiting for him.
"Hey! Where are you taking Christina?!" Ryoa asks Subaru angrily.
"We're taking her home!" Subaru shouts back at her before Shuu shuts the door behind us. Leaving the demon and vampire alone in the bar.
"Subaru's hurting me again…"
