VAMPIRE

"I can hear you, Alfred."

The said man groaned as he set his foot down quietly as if it would do anything since he was noticed already. Damn her keen senses, Alfred thought. He had been very careful upon entering their mansion and even made sure to avoid the rooms he thought she would be in. Apparently, he forgot the library.

"Where have you been?" Asked the woman whose back was facing him.

"I… uh…" Alfred fixed his glasses and cleared his throat. "I was just looking around, is all." Alfred tried to mask his nervousness with a cheery tone and resisted to pat the velvet box in his coat's pocket.

"Hmmm…" murmured Alice. She stood up and faced him. He was breathless, to say the least, which was stupid because he was already dead but seeing his vampire lover, he couldn't help but ogle at her. In front of him was Alice Kirkland with skin as pale as milk, green eyes shone with wisdom and curiosity. She looked about twenty-ish years old but is actually a hundred years older than him. She wore one of his shirts that was too big for her petite frame. Alfred noticed something unusual about his Alice- she was wearing the reddest lipstick he has ever seen, highly contrasting against her pale complexion. To his eyes, it made her a lot more attractive.

"I'm hungry…" the vampire whispered and looked down.

"When was the last time you've had your blood, Ali?"

"About a week ago" she said, clearly ignoring the nickname.

Alfred approached his lover and hugged her tightly, "will I be enough for tonight?"

She looked up to him with shining green eyes and nodded. He exposed his shoulder and neck as a way to signal her to start. The female vampire kissed his neck gently and started sucking his blood. To Alice, Alfred's blood tasted like the nectar of the gods- nothing could match the taste of Alfred's sweet blood, not even her favorite tea. About a couple of minutes or so, she pulled away and produced a small silky handkerchief and wiped her mouth then kissed Alfred's cheek.

"Thank you, love. Now tell me Alfred, where have you been? I was worried as hell! I thought some other vampire had taken—"Alfred stopped Alice's rant as he kissed her lips passionately. He must admit, though he was dead Alice's actions stirred some emotions inside of him that he could not suppress.

Contrary to popular belief, vampires are not really all lewd individuals-as one might say. However, even if they're undead creatures, they can still feel very human emotions and thoughts.

Alice Kirkland is a pureblood English vampire capable of doing things that can be done exclusively by well-trained pure bloods. At a hundred years old, it is considered fairly young for a vampire, she was able to master her powers and abilities which earned her a lot of respect (and jealousy) from her fellow vampires. Alice had met the young American when she travelled to his country. She was posing as a simple village girl back then when Alfred accidentally discovered her secret as he had seen her stealing blood bags from the blood bank. She spared his life in return of keeping her secret. The young vampire's breed was known for getting attached to a single mortal and coincidently formed an attraction to Alfred. Alfred, 18 at that time, also grew fondly of his vampire friend but before he could ever confess to her, he was brutally murdered by his step-father. Out of grief, Alice killed the old man who went batshit crazy and revived Alfred. It was not easy for her, oh no. It took her years to complete the ritual and finally, finally, revived Alfred. In exchange for that, however, Alfred is to be Alice's immortal servant.

And here they are now sucking each other's faces, pun intended.

Alice pulled away, her pale cheeks tinted with crimson. "I suppose you're not going to tell me where you have been to?"

"I swear I was just looking around! Geez!" Alfred licked his lips and laughs nervously.

"Whatever" the female sighed and went up to their room with Alfred following her.

"God, Ali! You're making this difficult for me." The man groaned as he stopped his girlfriend and kneeled in front of her.

"Alice Kirkland, I wasn't supposed to do this until next week but I don't really wanna lie to you and I can't take this nervous-y excited kinda feeling so here it goes." Alfred laughed uneasily then cleared his throat and looked at Alice.

"Alice, babe, ever since we've become close I've been so very happy. Back then, my life was pretty shitty and it lacked color in it, ya know? I'm so happy that Fate stopped being a bitch to me and brought us together. Heh. I'm gonna cut this thing short… Ali, will you marry me?"

The said girl recovered from her shock then smirked, "I knew it."

"Knew what?"

"That you bought an engagement ring."

"Really…?"

"Mhhmm… I saw your engagement ring brochure that last time I cleaned our room." At this, Alfred groaned and Alice let out a giggle, seemingly enjoying her lover's predicament.

"So…?" Inquired Alfred.

"You don't really have to ask that, you know. I really love you Alfred. Of course I would marry you but… a-are you ready to be like me…?" Alice looked at Alfred anxiously. No one can marry a vampire unless they are a vampire themselves.

"Hell yes, Alice. I'm already dead. What's there to lose?" Alfred stood up and put the ring on her finger and kissed her passionately.

oooooooooooooooo

Alice, who now wears Alfred's surname, developed an odd sleeping pattern two months after their marriage. Alice usually sleeps around 4 in the morning and wakes up around noontime. Her husband, who is now also a vampire, watched her as she stood up from the bed. Truly, it was strange for it was only 6 in the morning. He followed her to the bathroom and was shocked that Alice had begun hurling at the toilet. He quickly moved her long blond hair out of the way and rubbed her back. After a couple of minutes or so, he helped her up and watched her wash her mouth.

"Hey, babe, are you okay?" Alfred asked softly as he hugged his wife.

"Alfred, can you hear that?" Alfred, since becoming a vampire, developed keen senses his wife have. He listened closely and intently, curious at what Alice had asked.

Silence was all Alfred had heard he was about to respond to Alice but then he hear it. Very faint but he's sure that he had heard it. A quite ba-bump-ba-bump was what he heard and he looked at his wife with wide eyes.

"Is… Is that what I think it is?" Alice could only nod, still absorbing the fact that she and Alfred will be parents soon.

"Oh Ali, babe, I'm gonna be a daddy!" Alfred hugged her tightly and kissed her all over her face.

"We're gonna have a wee vampire baby" Alfred said excitedly. Alice could only cry from happiness. All she could think of was when she started to like Alfred, she thought it was impossible to be with him and yet here they were, expecting an additional member to their family.

"He's gonna have my blond hair and your pretty eye—"Alfred was cut off suddenly by his spouse.

"He?"

"Yep! It's gonna ba a boy, right Ali? He'll be, like, Alfred Junior or something. That would be awesome!" He laughed, obviously delighted with his idea.

"Um, no, love. I'm quite sure our baby's a she "Alice argued.

"Nuh uh. I betcha it's a boy"

"Girl"

"Boy"

"Girl!"

"Boy!"

"Girl!"

"Boy!"

"Oh for goodness' sake!" Alice threw her arms exasperatedly and Alfred laughed.
