Although Henry felt somewhat relieved after speaking with Vicki on the phone, he was still just a little nervous. He had not seen sunlight for almost 500 years-could this really be happening? He hadn't realized either how much he was connected to Vicki unitl he woke up too soon. She was not there, able to comfort him. He felt as though a piece of him were missing. Little did he know that Vicki Nelson herself had a little piece of him with her...

Vicki composed herself and lunged at Will. Will, having been with Maggie long enough to anticipate this, was already on the other side of the room. He also knew better than to vamp out, Maggie and Vicki would not be pleased. All Vicki could think about was how she hated opening up and now that she had, she was losing him, losing Henry, the man she'd given all of herself too. DAMN! She should have kept herself closed and now, what if she lost the baby too..it would be too much...

"Look, Vicki, I didn't know.. I was just trying to improve..no one else seems to have a problem.." Will stammered his words, trying to dodge Vicki at the same time. Tori came to the top of the stairs and was giggling at the events unfolding in front of her.

The giggling made Vicki stop, she did not want Tori to see her so upset.

"Tori, " Maggie said, "come here." Tori did as she was asked. Maggie was suspicious, she had a right to be.

"What's going on Mommy?" Tori asked looking from her aunt, to her dad who looked completely terrified and back to her mother.

"Well, it seems that daddy's little extra he put in the new blood products might not be doing so well with Henry."

Tori looked puzzled, then her eyes lit up, "Oh, OH, is he doing things faster now?"

All three adults looked at each other. Then Will eyed her suspicously and said, "Victoria, what did you do?" He had his arms crossed over his chest, Tori knew she might be in a little trouble.

"I didn't do anything daddy. I don't know why you two always think I'm guilty of something." Again, all three adults gave her a look.

She sighed, "Okay, what I did was not bad though. And daddy, you should give me a little credit anyway, I'm smarter than you think."

Tori went on to explain that she had "turned" her pet rabbit. Of course both parents began to scold her immediately which caused Vicki to laugh. Maggie just looked at her as if to say "your time will come..."

"It was for a science experiment anyway, not just for fun."

"What do you mean a science experiement?" Will and Maggie asked in unison.

She told them that she wanted to see what would happen if a newly turned creature was given the enhanced blood versus one that had been turned for awhile. What might happen, how fast would they change...

Vicki help up her hand, "Wait a minute, you have "creatures" that you turned? I didn't know that was possible."

Will told Vicki that was how he developed the blood, similar to what humans do with cancer research and the like. Vicki nodded in understanding, just strange she thought. Why would I be surprised at that, I have no idea...

Maggie smiled but said nothing because she knew it would bring Vicki's anger back to the surface, because she would think Maggie was "listening in"...

"So what happened, my little scientist? We need to help Henry." asked Will, yes a little proudly..

"Well, duh, daddy, that's my point. If you'll let me finish, " she said rolling her eyes and tossing her hair. Maggie almost said something to her but Will just shook his head. Again, Vicki smiled, knowing that this little girl was carbon copy of herself and Maggie, frightening.

"Uncle Henry," she looked at Vicki, "it's okay if I call him that right?" Vicki replied, "I don't mind, but you'll need to ask him."

She nodded, "Okay, so what is happening is that because he was a YOUNG person when he was turned, EVERYTHING works faster on him." She looked at her parents to see if they understood. " You know, like if you were older when you were turned it would take longer.."she made motions with her hands, trying to get them to understand, "like daddy," Will frowned at that.

"You know, EVERYTHING, that's why Aunt Vicki is pregnant already, that's why he is probably already waking up..." she looked innnocently at the adults who were all three standing there with theirs mouths hanging open.

"How..how do you know that Tori?" Vicki stammered.

"Because, you smell different. To me anyway and your prickly magic is different too. You guys really don't give me any credit you know. And no, Aunt Vicki, I won't tell him. That's your job." She gave her aunt a big congratulatory hug, kissed Vicki's on her stomach, whispered something to it and skipped towards the kitchen. Somehow she wasn't angry with Tori for hearing her thoughts because that's exactly what she was thinking, please don't tell Henry yet.

Vicki, Maggie and Will just stood there, not knowing what to say.

Will cleared his throat, "I'm sorry Vicki, I should have been more careful, had a better handle on her. She's a little difficult to control sometimes."

"Hmm, can't imagine." Vicki looked toward Maggie and raised an eyebrow and Maggie was doing the same to her.

Both women started laughing, Will was frightened again.

"Will, you have nothing to apologize for. I mean, this is great! It means Henry is not dying!" Vicki was crying now.

Henry told the limo driver to drive faster, he was anxious to see Vicki. My gosh, I miss her so much and she's only been gone 24 hours..I've never in my long life have felt this way about a woman, what is it? I can almost hear her in my head, Henry jumped because he DID hear her in his head, "Henry, Henry hurry, you're okay, you're not dying.."

Henry didn't understand, he was supposed to be dying? "HURRY" he whispered into the driver's ear causing the driver to break the law. Henry didn't care, he had to get to Vicki, what was going on??

After a calm, dinner, Vicki decided it was time a nice long bubble bath. Maggie took her to the guest house, which was about half the size of the big house.

"Wow,THIS is the guest house?" Vicki said looking around.

"Yep, thought you might like the privacy, plus with mom coming in the morning, she can stay in the room we have for her in the house. I already got everything ready for you here- food, towels, clean bedding whatever you need. Your bags have been put in the bedroom..." just as she finished the word "bedroom" she grabbed her stomach and cried out...

"Maggie!? Are you okay?" Vicki reached for her to keep her from falling.

"He's coming, I can feel it." Maggie managed to get out.

"The baby?" Maggie shook her head no.."NO, Amon..."

AWW MAN!!!! was all Vicki could think, here we go again...
