6 1/2 months later:
Not much has changed since the discovery of Vicki's pregnancy, except for her size, of course. Henry still works nights, and his complexion remains flawless, as we might expect. Coreen is still goth Coreen, only she has a new love interest in her life, his name is Aaron, and you'll learn about him later. Christina hasn't been seen or heard from since that visit at the Harrison's farm. But something tells Henry that her dormancy is about to end, which can't be good for Vicki as she nears her due date.
It is June 14, 2007, a day that Henry and Vicki will never forget. Vicki wakes up and heads to the gym for the last time. Nothing is special about this, but she knows that the time for her baby boy draws near, just when exactly she is not sure when.
She leaves the gym feeling rather tired, and she heads to work. "Good afternoon Coreen." Vicki said as she sat at her desk.
"How are you feeling today?" Coreen asked. "Pretty good, my back has been bothering me a bit, but other than that, I am good"
Coreen places a gift on her desk. "Its for you, and your baby." She said with a smile.
"Aww, you didn't have to get me anything." Vicki smiled. "Just open it." Coreen urged. Vicki opened the gift, which revealed two body suites. One saying "My mommie is a touch Chick, don't mess with her." The other one saying "if you think I'm cute, you should see my daddy"
Vicki laughed. "Thank you so much, they're really adorable"
"Your welcome, oh and free babysitting." Coreen added.
"Great, I will definitely take you up on that." Vicki smiled.
Suddenly that smiled turned to a surprised/scared expression. "Vicki, are you okay?" Coreen asked looking concerned. "Coreen, call my doctor, my water just broke." She said as she sat down on the couch"
"Are you serious?" She said grabbing the phone.
A few minutes passed, and Coreen came back into the room.
"Okay, he just said to take a hot shower, change and wait until the contractions get to be about 3-5 minutes apart. Being where so close to the hospital that shouldn't be a problem"
"Okay sounds good, lets go. Oh and call Henry leave him a message"
"Already did that, now lets go." Coreen drives Vicki back to her place, she takes a shower, changes and then puts in a movie.
"It could be a while," Vicki said popping in Titanic. About three quarters into the movie, Vicki's contractions start to get bad. "Coreen, I need to lay down." She said wit a pained expression on her face.
"Okay, are they bad"
"Yeah they are, call Henry"
Coreen called Henry for the second time. "How is she doing?" He asked.
"The pain is bad, but she's handling it well"
"Tell her I will be right over"
"He's coming"
"Okay good," she breathed heavily. "I don't know how much more of this I can take." Vicki said in her sarcastic tone.
"Your doing great." Coreen reassured. "Hey look whose here"
Henry went to Vicki's side, and held her hand.
"How are you?" he asked. "I'm alright." She said through a contraction. She squeezed his hand. "Oh God this hurts"
Henry felt Vicki's pain, and he wished he could take it away, but he couldn't.
Just then the front door flew open with a bang.
"What was that?" Vicki asked. "I have no idea, I'll be right back, wait here"
"Don't worry. I'm not going anywhere." She joked through the pain.
Just then a Vicki saw Henry fly though the air and hit the wall. "Henry!" She yelled. She got up after him, even through her pain.
She helped him, and clung to him the pain was getting worse. "Oww." She said softly. Christina made her presence known. "Well isn't this a pretty picture." She said in her creepy voice. "What do you want, and where's Coreen?" Demended Vicki. "I should have known that this child was yours Henry." She said as she walked closer to them.
"I told you what would happen if I caught you in my city again." He growled.
"Henry!" Vicki yelled as her knees buckled. "Aww, how cute." Christina said as he helped Vicki to the couch. "He's coming soon" She breathed heavily with her arms draped around is neck, holding his shirt with clenched fists. "I know, just keep breathing, your doing great." Christina, grabbed Henry and the fight had begun. Coreen had managed to get free form Christina's ropes and run to Vicki's aide. "Coreen, oww.. he's coming." She grabbed her hand. Henry and Christina continued fighting in the back round. Henry was clearly winning, and Christina was weakening by the minute. Vicki moaned, "Oh please not now." She tried really hard not to push. "Keep breathing Vicki, and don't push, not yet." Coreen instructed.
Henry took one last shot at Christina, and drank a lot of her blood, she was really weak, and then in a cloud of smoke she was gone. Her last words were "I will be back"
Henry immediately turned his attention to Vicki, who was in apparent agony. "Hi, how are you doing?" He asked with a smile.
"Oh I've been better. Can I push now?" She asked through a contraction.
" Okay, push, Vicki." Replied Coreen.
Vicki squeezed Henry's hand, and in three big pushes he was out. "Congratulations, Vick. Here's your baby boy." Coreen smiled. The day was June 15 at 2 in the morning. "Happy birthday daddy." Vicki smiled at Henry. "What are we going to name him?" He asked. "I don't know. You name him, he's your son." Vicki smiled. "I like the name Marcus." He said. "Okay, then Marcus Michael Henry it is." She smiled. They both smiled, and kissed eachother.
I would love to tell you that Christina was gone forever and that they both lived happily ever after, but that would be too easy. Mike was back in town and soon the questions would fly. Even though Marcus was just a baby, everything in his life would be an uphill battle. Nothing could prepare Henry and Vicki for what would come next, 16 years down the road.
