**From Bell's point of view**

I couldn't believe it. Not only had I been changed into something that was mythical, I was changed into something…lethal… But, on top of those two factors, I had found that "person" that you want to die for, the one you want to strut around for, the one you want to hold your hand when your hurt or scared…I guess that's why I was so willing to accept the fact that I had become what I had. All because of him. Dameon was able to guide me through it all, and without him, I would have cracked. But now, I needed his help more than ever. Two gifts are too much for me to handle.

My first gift was a state of mind that only I could reach. I am able to go inside of the deepest parts of someone's mind, hear their thoughts, look at memories, and make them see anything I want them to. I can project my fears and comforts. I can show my pain and sorrow. And, I can show my love. But the second gift…well, the second gift isn't so great. At the same time, I suppose it is.

The second gift is that Dameon and I are having a baby. Mind you, it's no ordinary baby…Oh, I forgot to mention, that whole "lethal" thing, well, I'm a half vampire, or Dhampir, half vampire half human, and Dameon? He's a full fledge Dracula. I gotta tell you, its hell being pregnant with a kid like this. Never stops moving and my symptoms are excessive crying…that's it. I have to hand it to Dameon though, he's taking to the idea of being a father, and that makes me happy.

And of course, it has to be one of those rare cases that don't happen too often, and I need to be supervised and kept healthy. Dameon agrees with the rest of them which I find to be the very blackest kind of blasphemy.

*Months later*

I had been surrounded for the past few months, which, I didn't mind, but, still. Ro had brought all of our human friends to our new home, she figured I needed to see them all. I did, but, if my child, which was due any day, turned out to be monstrous, we would have a few problems on our hands.

"Good morning." Dameon said. I had just woken up. Sunlight flooded our room and the soft breeze blew the linen curtains.

"Morning." I yawned.

"How are you today?" He smiled. I smiled too.

"And how are you?" He asked, placing his hand on my stomach.

Just then, I felt a strong kick. Dameon's eyes grew big. I giggled.

"It's ok, happens all the time."

He sighed. "I'm so lucky."

"Why?"

"Because…I have you, and…I'll be a father soon. What more could I ask for?"

I smiled and kissed his cheek. It was awkward though, I had only known him for a short amount of time…but…I knew I was in love with him.

"Oh no…" I moaned.

"What?! What is it?!"

"T-t-…TEARS!" I yelled as I began to sob.

He held me tight as the waves of hot salt water poured out of my eyes. I clutched onto his arms and began to rock back and forth. I tried to look at some of the paintings he had made in hopes they would calm me down, but it didn't work.

I spent the next hour crying, and by this time Dameon's gray t-shirt was soaked. He patted my back and lay me down against the pillows.

"I'll go get Ro for you." He said, getting up.

"Hang on." I said as I tugged on his shirt.

"Yes, love?"

"Feel again." I said. He smiled placing both hands on my stomach.

"H-how?" he stuttered.

Somehow the baby was producing heat. I don't know how, but it was.

"What could be causing it?" He asked.

I lifted up my shirt. My entire stomach was glowing, and two tiny hands were casting a shadow against the light. Dameon beamed and I only marveled. He leaned down to kiss my stomach. He chuckled again and left the room.

A few seconds later Ro was next to me.

"How ya' doin'?" She asked planting herself on a chair.

"I'm alright…I think…"

"Bad huh?"

"Weird would be a better word for it."

"Why?" She asked.

"It glows."

I lifted my shirt up to reveal the now dim patch of light coming from inside me.

"Wow…" She gasped. I nodded solemnly. What if I was a bad mother? What if I couldn't protect my child? I sniffed a little.

"Hey! What's wrong?" She asked, stroking my hand.

"It's nothing, probably the symptoms." I replied.

"How much longer?" She asked. It had been four months, but I already looked like I had a water melon stuffed up my shirt.

"I don't really know, but it's gotta be soon." I replied. Her eyes looked almost pink today. She nodded.

I decided to get up. Maybe a trip to the meadow would cheer me up.

"Can you get Dameon for me? Bitte?" I asked. She giggled at my German. She nodded and went to get him. In a matter of seconds he was next to me.

"Yes, hun?" He asked.

"Could you take me to the meadow?"

He grinned and scooped me up. It was great to have some fresh air. We lounged in the sun for awhile, taking in the aroma of all the flowers we were surrounded by. Dameon took my hand and kissed my finger tips, then he kissed the spot where a wedding ring would go.

"Will you marry me?" He asked. I wanted to cry out of happiness, but I wasn't a crier. I answered with my lips.

"As soon as the baby's born." I said. He nodded, rubbing my stomach, which was getting annoying.

Suddenly, a prang of pain shot through my gut.

"Ouch!" I yelped, clutching my stomach.

"Is it?" he asked with a worried look.

"I think, but relax, these things can take hours." I breathed. "See? Pain's gone for now." As soon as I had finished my sentence, it came back.

"Or not!" I exclaimed.

"Better get you to the house, love." He said as he was helping me up. Another shot of pain, and then my water broke.

"Crap…" I gasped.

"Yeah, I'd say it's time to leave." He replied.

He carried me bridal style back to the house and into our room. He covered me with a blanket and went to get a bag of medical supplies.

Ro, Neo, and Skyler were the only ones home besides us. The rest of the vampires were hunting, and the humans went to get food. They hadn't noticed we were in the house.

"Guys!" Dameon yelled.

Within seconds Ro and Skyler were in the door way. Neo took a few seconds to get up the stairs, then she joined them.

"Oh my…baby time?" Ro asked.

Dameon nodded and looked at me sympathetically. Another shot of pain hit, this one worse than the last.

"Ahh!" I yelped.

Neo ran over to me.

"Do you want a soda can to crush?" She asked.

I shook my head and reached for her hand. Reluctantly she gave it to me, but I only gave it a slight squeeze.

"What do we do?" Ro asked.

No one knew.

"We'll just let nature take it's course, I suppose." Skyler said.

"No!" I screamed. "It hurts!"

"Shh, I know, hun, I know." Dameon tried to comfort me, but it didn't work at all. It felt like a Charlie horse in…that…spot...He slipped behind me on the bed, propping me up.

"I…I…I love you…" I panted.

"I love you too, hun." Dameon replied, kissing my cheek.

"Oww…OWW!!!" I screeched. I grabbed onto his legs as he hugged his arms around me.

Ro's eyebrow's creased. Neo looked away. Skyler bit his lip.

"We should get her undressed." Ro said.

The pain subsided long enough for her to get my pants and underwear off. She covered my legs with the blanket and went back over to Skyler and Neo.

The pain turned into agony and Dameon was beginning to get mad at himself for doing this to me.

"It doesn't matter…I love you anyway…and this is our g-OWW!" I yelled.

"It must be ready." Dameon said, slipping out from behind me. He flipped the blanket up to my knees and pushed my legs up. His face scrunched up at the sight.

"If she lives through this, I'll treat her like the queen of Sheba…man that looks like it hurts…" He thought.

"You're going to have to push now." He said.

I nodded quickly.

"On three…one, two, three!" He exclaimed.

I screamed. It was so hard. Unbearable, terrible.

"Keep going!" He coached.

Moments passed, and I began to grow tired.

"Ok stop!" He said.

"Why?!" I asked, horrified.

"It's over. It's out…" He grinned.

My head fell back on the pillow with relief. Ro and Neo were jumping up and down with excitement and Skyler patted Dameon on the back. The baby began to shriek and all my worries were over. Dameon took clamps and scissors out of the medical bag and took care of the baby.

"Welcome home, baby girl." He smiled.

A girl!

"Come meet Momma…" He cooed as he wrapped her in a blanket and handed her to me.

The most beautiful thing I had ever seen was right in front of me. She had lots of dark brown curls, and deep red-brown eyes.

"Hey girl…" I laughed. Dameon kissed my forehead and looked back down at her.

"She's human now, but, give her ten years and she'll be a half vampire like you. Then, if she wants, we can change her into a full fledge vampire." He said. "You did so good, Bell."

"I love you." I said.

"Love you too." He replied.

"What will you call her?" Ro asked.

I searched Dameon's head for his mother's name.

"What about…Evangeline?" I asked.

He grinned at me.

"It's perfect."

It was perfect. Just how it ought to be.
