Dedicated to Tricia Sonen, why did you have to be taken so soon. You were too young.

And this chapter is for Tricia. Tricia was killed in a car accident on August 24. She was traveling down a road when she lost control of her car and it hit a guard rail. She died instantly and didn't suffer. I didn't know her well but she had the kindest heart I have ever seen in someone.

So I have know Idea why it took me like 2 months. Wait...school...work and then of course with tricia. i knew her a little bit but still even if yu know someone its hard to see them die. DONT TEXT AND DRIVE

I still cant believe that its been five months already it seemed like yesterday that I was just being turned into a vampire and now I was lying beside Alexander and pregnant with his baby. His hand was resting over my now noticeable bump. I think the baby always noticed when he was touching my stomach. Instantly my hand moved next to his, that was rested on my stomach and the baby was gently kicking.

"I think the baby likes it." Alexander was awake, he kissed me softly on my forehead. I fixed my eyes on his and moved them back to my stomach and smiled.

"Yeah I think it does. Thank you."

"For what?"

"Everything. Making me a vampire, marrying me and giving me a baby."

"Well you helped to in some of those things. And I would do them again if it was for you. You know I would do anything for you and for our baby."

I loved how he accented on our baby. It made it seem even more real.

"I know and that's why I love you so much. Oh cant we just lay here and talk. I don't want to get up and ruin this."

Alexander laughed at that and he helped me out of the coffin. "I'm sorry Raven I want to stay in bed as much as you do but you know that we have to get up especially today."

Oh Today, I really wish it wasn't coming but then I did wish it was coming. See today Alexander's parents were coming to see us. Alexander, me and of course when they saw me they saw my swollen stomach. It was just going to depend on his mothers mood and then we would have to explain all of this.

"Besides I know you now and if I don't remember to get you anything to eat then you will surly be in a bad mood and probably yell at me. Like you did last week when we were running late to your appointment."

"Oh i'm sorry. I really don't mean to yell at you. I just cant control it. I'm sorry." I kissed him on his lips, it was a long 'I'm sorry' passionate kiss.

"Your body is changing a lot. Your having a baby, of course your going to be hungry. I mean your eating for two now. I just have to remember to get you something to eat right away. I don't want you to lift your finger for anything."

Aww that was so sweet of him. I still cant believe that I was this lucky to find him. So lucky that he found me. After a quick shower and change of clothes we were down stairs and in the kitchen. Neither of us really wanted to make a homemade meal and broke into our stash of frozen food. Alexander put a pizza in the oven with a few of those bread sticks that have cheese in the middle. He grabbed a bottle of blood that was in the fridge and poured it into two goblets.

"Your nervous, raven please its not going to be that bad and no matter what happens I'll still be with you and we will have the baby. I'm bonded with you forever they can't change that."

"I know but what if they think the only reason why we got married and turned me into a vampire so early just so we could have sex and have a baby."

"Well it just happened a little early but it happens to some people and we were just lucky to have it happen to us."

"Thank you, thank you so much."

He wrapped his arms around my waist and kissed me. The baby was between us and began to kick. Either one it was hungry or two we were probably squishing it. I'm pretty sure it was the first one, my stomach was growling so loudly and of course there was really nothing in my stomach nowadays.

Alexander broke away and grabbed to warm pizza and bread sticks from the oven. He quickly sliced the pizza and put the bread sticks on a plate on the table. My mouth was watering from all of the food, we haven;t had much junk food and this was a real treat. Alexander walked back into the room with another bottle of blood and refilled my glass.

"These are garlic free? Right?"

He gave me that ' are you serious look, do you think I'm that dumb' look. "Do you really think I am that stupid to give you garlic, when your a vampire and your pregnant to top it off. And then I would eat garlic and I'm a vampire. Of course raven I got bread sticks with garlic in them so we both , as vampires allergic to garlic, would eat them."

"Just checking."

"Just enjoy your pizza or else I'll have to cook something and I can already tell you that I won't be too happy."

"I'm sorry I think that mothering instinct is starting to kick in."

" Well that's good, now lets finish before my parents get here."

There was a ring at the door about fifteen minutes later. I can't believe that the time has finally came. I was just worried about this whole meeting but I was also was happy about this meeting and that was strange. I felt like that one teen in my old school that was pregnant from some jock on the football team and was now meeting his parents.

The only thing different about me and that girl were. One I got married before I got pregnant. Two at least my baby daddy is sticking around and is helping out more than necessary. Three were taking full responsibility for everything. Also I never was some little preppy person who cared about hundred dollar shirts and purses.

"Raven could you please come out in the living room. My parents are here."

Great. Just great. I pulled myself up off of the chair and began to slowly walk into the living room. I walked into the room and immediately everyone was looking at me. I walked over to Alexander and took the seat right next to him on the couch.

"Ah Raven it's great to see you again. I'm so glade that you made our Alexander so happy again, I can't remember the last time I saw him like this. So now hows the baby?"

"Um great I guess. I haven't really been able to ask it. But the doctor said its fine."

"Thats great, is it kicking? I remember when I was pregnant with Alexander, I could hardly sleep."

"Sure, I think this baby loves to kick, it's always doing it."

Alexander's mom pressed her hand to the side of my stomach. The baby began to kick and her face began to light up there was a smile on it.

"Dear you should feel our grand baby kick. It's just like its dad."

"I think your right, I see you two are doing a marvelous job so far. But are you two ready for when it is born?"

"Well Dad I think we will be ready. But no matter what happens we will get through it." Alexander said to his dad. I knew everything would be fine with us but his dad did have a point. Were we ready?

We haven't even begun on a nursery for it. Gotten clothes, diapers or even a crib for the baby. And I'm sure not letting it spend its first year sleeping in a box. There were so many things that we still had to do, and my due date is coming closer and closer each day.

The baby's getting bigger and bigger each day and so am I. The reality of everything was now sinking in even faster that it should be. At first it did sink in but now its more real. I can feel this baby moving inside me. I can see Alexander instinctively become more protective of me and of the baby. He was like that but not as much and he has been lately.

I'm not exactly sure why his parents were even coming to stay with us for a few months unless there is something that they aren't telling me. I could see something hiding in their faces but I just couldn't exactly see it.
