When I woke up, all of my friends were still sleeping. I didn't want to wake them so I went downstairs quietly. Bell was sleeping on the couch and Dameon was sitting next to her, holding her hand.

"Is she ok?" I mouthed.

He nodded. I knew that this was hard for him. Dameom seemed nice. He shouldn't feel bad. Bell loved him and he loved her and now they would have a symbol of their love. Everyone should agree with that logic.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?" He whispered.

"Sure."I answered.

We walked into the unused kitchen so that we wouldn't wake Bell up.

"Is she mad at me?" Dameon asked.

"No." I reasured him "Why? Do you think that she is?"

"I think she is because she won't look me in the eye." He explained "She's been absent ever since we found out."

He was truly upset. He regretted it. It was easy to see. I felt bad for him.

"When something happens, she's usually deep in thought for a while." I told him "She's not mad. She's just considering things."

He nodded and walked back over to Bell's side. He took her hand again.

"Where is Skyler?" I asked him.

"He's outside." He told me.

I walked out the back door and saw Skyler sitting in the grass. I walked over and sat next to him.

"I'm sorry that I volunteered your bedroom like that." I apologized.

"It's ok." He laughed "Glad I could be good for something."

"What are you talking about?" I asked "You are good for a lot of things!"

"Like what?"

"Well.....you saved my life. You taught me how to hunt and you're a really good friend."

He grinned. He was happy with that answer. I hugged him and he hugged me back.

"I'm glad you don't hate me." He said.

I stopped hugging him and looked at him.

"Who hates you?" I asked.

"You."

"Why do you think that?"I asked.

"Well...you haven't really talked to me."

I laughed and hugged him again. This time, even tighter than before.

"I don't hate you! You're one of my best friends!" I told him.

I wished that we were more than friends though.

"I'm glad." He laughed.

"Lets go in." I said "My friends do not sleep long."

He laughed and we went inside. I was right. All of them were searching the cupboards for food. When they found something they all liked, they started digging in. I lauged. I forgot how much Melinda could eat. It was funny to watch. I smiled and laughed. I forgot what eating was like.

"So about this vampire thing." Melinda said with a mouthful of food "What are the rules?"

"Well," Skyler explained "We can go in the sunlight. We can go on holy ground. Garlic doesn't bother us and we don't sleep at all. Since Bell and Ro are only half vampires, they sleep."

Melinda walked over to Dameon and eyed him down. For such a tiny person, she could be scary.

"If you do anything to Bell I will put you in a lot of pain." She snarled.

He ddn't seem too scared. I wouldn't be either. She was only human.

"Where is Bell?' I asked Dameon.

"She had to pee." He told me "She's going a lot now. She is peeing for two now."

I laughed and so did everyone else. I was glad to see that Dameon hadn't lost his sense of humor. Bell walked downstairs. She didn't look too good.

"Morning." She said in a grim voice.

"Good morning." Everyone answered together.

She gave us a half smile, then turned around and puked in a trash can. We all looked at her, a little grossed out. Then we remembered that she was pregnant. Almost all of the weirdness left. Then Bell just started crying out of nowhere.

"You all think I'm ugly!" She screeched.

We all stared at her and before we could say anything, she ran away,

"This is going to be one hell of a thunderstorm." I said.

Everyone turned to stare at me and then laughed. Dameon ran after her. I knew that this would be one long pregnancy. when Bell came back into the room with Dameon, we all hugged her and told her that she was beautiful she was. It was going to be hard to keep anything from he but we would have to try. It was apparent that we could easily upset her. We spent the rest of the day taking care of her and trying not to make her cry. It wasn't an easy task. The slitest thing would set her off. If you looked at her too much, she would think that she was ugly. If you couldn't get her something she wanted, she would think that we didn't think that she was worth it. Who knew that being pregnant could be so complicated for the friends of the pregnant woman? When Bell finally fell asleep, all of us crawled upstairs for some sleep. I again waited for all of them the fall out of consciousness. Once they were all out, I went to sleep quickly and easily.
