I woke up in Skyler's arms. I turned to face him and he smiled.
"Good morning sleepy head." He laughed, pushing a stray piece of hair behind my ear.
"Good morning." I answered.
Last night was incredible. I wondered if that was how Bell and Dameon had felt. I got up so I could put some clothes on. I put on a navy blue spaghetti strap shirt and blue jeans.
"Aren't you going to get dressed?" I asked him.
"Soon." He told me "I'm a little sad that you did already."
I giggled like a stupid five year old. He stretched and got out of bed. He put his sweat pants back on and glided over to me. He wrapped his arms around me and kissed my cheek. That just wasn't good enough for me. I kissed his cool lips
"Have I told you how much I love you today?" He asked.
"No." I laughed "Would you like to tell me though? Because I would love to hear it."
He flashed a brilliant smile and kissed me. I kissed him back and considered moving back to the bed. He seemed to have considered it too, but stopped anyway.
"We should stop." He chuckled "Before someone walks in."
I wanted to keep going but he had a point. I had walked in on my friends before and I had ruined a moment.
"Let's go see the others." He suggested.
I shook my head. He changed into jeans and a black T-Shirt. We walked down the stairs together. Neo and Scott were sitting at the table in the kitchen. Scott was reading some science text books and Neo was feeding Evangeline breakfast. I could smell the baby food.
"Good morning." I greeted them.
They looked up and smiled then went back to what they were doing. Skyler and I took a seat at the table with them.
"Where is everyone?" Skyler wondered.
"They went hunting." Neo answered trying to spoon more food into Evangeline's tiny mouth.
"I stayed behind because of Evangeline." Neo explained.
"I stayed behind because I think I might be able to bring Bell and Dameon back to life." Scott answered.
My eyes lit up with excitement. Could he really?
"Are you serious?" Skyler asked.
"Yes." Scott laughed "Who ever those vampires were only stole their souls. If we can find there souls again, we can bring them to life."
I was very happy about that. I wanted my friends back. I needed my friends back.
"Neo and I search for those other vampires." Scott continued "You guys can watch Evangeline. We'll call for the rest of you when we find the vampires that did it."
Skyler and I shook our heads. Neo handed Evangeline to me and headed off with Scott to the special room where all of his equipment was. Evangeline smiled. This little bundle of joy was going to get her momma back and I think that she knew it. I put Evangeline back in her booster chair.
"Do you want to start planning our wedding out?" Skyler questioned "It will help us get our mind off of other things while we wait."
"Ok." I answered smiling "When do you want to get married?"
He took a few minutes to think about it.
"How about in 4 months. In August. The sooner the better."
"Ok." I agreed "Where do you want to go for our honeymoon?"
He smiled. That was obviously something he was excited about.
"Let's go to Italy." He answered "It's beautiful there."
"Italy sounds nice." I giggled.
"Good." He said, smiling.
He leaned over and kissed me. Then I remembered what I had just done upstairs. Bell's words flooded my head.
"Well....since we're still partly human....what if....what if I get....pregnant?" She had asked that day.
What if I was pregnant?
I stopped kissing him. He gave me a confused look.
"What's wrong?" He asked in a concerned voice.
"Nothing." I lied.
He pulled me close to him.
"Tell me." He whined.
"You'll laugh at me." I stated.
"No I won't." He said seriously.
"Well….What if…." I struggled "What if I become pregnant?"
He looked at me seriously.
"I hadn't thought of that." He whispered.
We sat in an uncomfterable silence. The rest of the day passed slowly. Two weeks passed just as slowly as the days. I found out the most horrifying news ever. I was pregnant. To make it worse, there wasn't just one baby in there. Oh but that just wasn't enough. Oh no. I had to tell Skyler. I walked downstairs to go see him. I was going to make an attempt to tell him. He was sitting on the couch in the living room.
"Hey!" He greeted me.
He jumped up and kissed me. He wasn't going to make this easy.
"Hey." I responded after he was done kissing me "I have something to tell you. I think its good news."
"What is it?" He asked with pure curiosity.
I decided to just come out with it.
"I'm pregnant." I told him.
He looked shocked.
"What?" He asked.
"I'm having babies." I said again.
"Wait now we're using the in the plural term?"
"Yes!" I screamed, to angry to think straight "I'm sorry if that upsets you some how but there are to children in my body!"
"How do you know that I'm the father?" He asked in a joking manner."
I was too angry to consider that it was a joke. I threw a ball of fire at him, sending him straight through the wall and into the kitchen. I walked through the hole I'd made. Everyone was sitting at the table and turned to see what had happened. They all understood that this was something that they should stay out of. Skyler was laying in the pile of dubree that had followed him through the wall. He struggled to get up and instantly I felt bad. I ran over to him and helped him up.
"I'm so sorry!" I apologized.
He looked at me with sad eyes. I wanted to cry. How could I have done that? He walked away up into our room. When I went to see him, he was just laying on the bed. I walked over and layed next to him.
"Please forgive me." I begged in a whisper.
"How can I forgive you if I'm not upset with you?" He asked.
"I threw you through a wall." I reminded him.
"Yes." He laughed "I deserved that. I was being a jerk about the fact that you're having kids. I just don't want anything to happen to you. Bell had trouble gathering enough energy to push out Evangeline. What happens if you can't get two babies out? What if I never see your smiling face anymore?"
The tips of his fingers brushed against my cheek. I kissed him.
"I love you." He told me.
"I love you too. These babies are just a way of showing our love. There's no need to be worried about anything."
He didn't seem as sure.
"Really." I comforted him "There's nothing to worry about."
Still he looked at me with those sad eyes.
"Don't be sad." I said, grabbing his hand and holding it in mine.
"I'm not sad." He lied.
"You liar!" I laughed "See how you lie!"
That made him laugh.
"I made you laugh!" I yelled.
"Yes, you did." He said, with a half smile on his face.
"Do not start being sad again!" I said to him.
"I'll try not to." He sighed.
"That just is not good enough for me." I said, rolling on top of him and kissing him.
"Well," He said in between kisses "it's kind of hard to be sad now."
Even though he was talking, I kept kissing him. Suddenly he stopped me.
"There are other people in the house." He reminded me "And you are already pregnant."
"Right now, I could care less." I answered, kissing him yet again.
This time he kissed me back, giving in to me.
"Don't do this if you don't want to." I laughed.
"There is a really sexy girl who I am going to marry some day soon laying on top of me. As a man, my reaction is to do this."
He flipped us so that he was on top and kissed me again. I wrapped my arms around his neck and put my leg around the lower part of his back. He wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed his cool body down on mine. As Dameon had put it, we were about to get 'jiggy wid it' when Melinda walked through the door.
"Oh!" She screeched.
We quickly separated our bodies.
"Hello." I greeted her breathlessly.
"I'll just go." She giggled.
She closed the door on her way out. We started laughing uncontrollably. Melinda had a knack for ruining things that could later be joked about later.
"I warned you that this would happen." Skyler chuckled.
"I don't care." I giggled "It was going great until Melinda came in."
"Well, I think we should give up. There are more people than just her in this house."
"I still don't care though." I whined.
Why was I having such strong feelings? I didn't care. I leaned over and kissed his neck. I wasn't going to give up just yet.
"Have you no mercy?" He asked.
"No." I laughed while continuing to kiss his neck.
"You're extremely mean." He laughed.
Again with my not caring about what this guy was saying. He pulled me away from him.
"Some other time!" He laughed.
"…..Fine…." I let the depression fill my voice.
"Why do you want me to sleep with you so badly?" He asked.
I didn't even know why.
"I have no clue why." I answered honestly.
"Bell was always depressed when she was pregnant." He stated "Could this be your side effect?"
"I highly doubt that." I laughed.
"Then why are you trying so hard?"
Maybe he was right, but I was not going to admit it. Not only that, but I wasn't really trying.
"Do you want me to be lustful?"
He smiled.
"That could only make my life so much better." He answered.
"Then why are you rejecting me?" I nearly cried.
Then he came over and held me close to him.
"I'm not rejecting you." He whispered "I just do not want someone walking in and ruining everything."
I hugged him. I hate when he has a point.
"Do I need to constantly remind you that I love you?" He asked "Because I thought that I was making it quite clear."
"I love you too." I giggled.
"Did I tell you that I can play the piano, guitar, and a few other instruments?" He asked me.
"No you didn't." I said in a shocked voice.
"Well now you know." He laughed "I wrote a song for you. I know that you love music so….."
"I want to hear it!" I nearly yelled.
"Alright." He chuckled.
He took my hand and walked me into a room I hadn't been in before. There were instruments everywhere. A piano, guitars, violins, clarinets, flutes, and so many more. Skyler picked up a guitar.
"You won't laugh at me will you?" He asked.
"Never." I answered.
He started to play. It was beautiful. It was soft at first then grew. It made me feel at peace and relaxed. He was very talented. When he stopped, I smiled.
"I love it!" I screamed.
"Good." He laughed.
The rest of the day flew by like nothing. Neo and Scott were close to finding out who the vampires who had Bell and Dameon's souls. I told everyone I was pregnant and everyone congradulated me. I went to sleep that night, felling better than the last few months.
