Chapter 4

Olivia's POV

I sat in my living room, drinking tea.

Ivy could make one of the worst news in my life, seem like the best. Well, I guess it would be an over-exaggeration if I said that. Just cause she made me happy, didn't mean I was thinking twice about getting rid of the baby.

Yes, it seems harsh, but it wasn't only for me. What was I going to do? I didn't have the money to take care of it if Jackson left, how would I pay for the fees? I didn't know how to be a mother! If I had the baby, it could end up badly. Jackson would leave me, and chances where that my parents would be so mad, I'd have to face living on the street! With a baby! I wasn't going to let that happen!. Then again, I could always move into Ivy's house...

"Ivy!" Ivy almost dropped her tea when she jumped at my scream.

"Huh? - What? What happened now? Did you feel a kick?"

"What? No!...I need to ask you something important." I nervously played with my fingers.

Ivy put down her tea and pulled her legs up in a criss cross, waiting anxiously. "Well...?" I think she could tell my palms were sweating.

"Ivy...do you think that I should...keep the baby?"

Ivy had a 'what-kind-of-a-question-is-that' look on her face. "Olivia! Did I just give you my whole speach for nothing! You can't get 'rid' of it! I mean no offence, but I never thought you'd be that kind of a person..."

"No, I mean I know Ivy. I would never do that too, but... What am I supposed to do? Where will I live if Jackson runs away?"

"...well, I mean." I could tell Ivy had the same idea in her mind.

"Could I... stay with you?"

"I.. I don't know Olivia, I just-"

"Ivy please!" I could tell she could see the pleadingness in my eyes. I knew she was feeling guilty, but I couldn't tell why she didn't want me to live with her.

Ivy let out a groan, which sounded like it was mixed with frustration and guilt. "Olivia, you're not understanding me! It's not just that easy, what you're asking me to do. I can't let you get close to Rose, or Violet, or James. The minute they smell the new baby, they're going to want to thirst on human blood as fast as they can! I'm not going to risk losing you, or the baby for that!"

I knew I shouldn't have, but anger boiled inside of me. "Ivy, what about all those bunnies - I mean humans, that live near you? I know for a fact that they don't drink them, I know that they probably only eat animals, or the bloody sausage you make them, I know that Ivy! I know that Violet, and Rose, and James all have control over that!"

I saw Ivy look down to the ground, her feelings mixed. This is it. This is my chance, to seal in the last heart-felt words, before it's too late.

"And Ivy... I know that, once they know that I'm they're aunt. They're aunt, whom they haven't seen for like... a thousand vampire years,... That they won't even think of that. I know that they're, well, I can only hope, that they love me... And I'll love them too." I sat down and looked straight into her eyes. I knew she was sold, until she started speaking again, a point, which I knew was true, and I'll admit, I was a bit scared myself.

"I know, Olivia... But I told you before, even if they don't drink human blood for over, like, a million years, they could still be tempted! Anytime, Olivia, they could decide that they wanna jump on some next bunny walking out the door!" Ivy put her head into her hands. I knew what this was about. It wasn't just about me moving in. I knew that Ivy was stressed from being a mother. All those nights she would probably have to wake up, how tired she would be cleaning all day, even the bags under her eyes said it all. She was scared her children were going to mess up one day, and it would be all her fault.

"Ivy... I know that, you're feeling really exhausted. But I know you Ivy. I know how well you must have raised your children, and they must be really smart, and out-going, and beutiful. You just have to trust that you did a good job. Cause I know you did."

Ivy just nodded her head silently.

"Kay, so. I'm going to go start packing, kay? Can you pick me up?"

Ivy looked at the clock.

"Sure. Thursday morning, nine o'clock?"

"Ivy! I can't wait two whole days!"

"Olivia, just give me time, okay. I'll pick you up Thursday. Be ready."

Ivy and I hugged eachother and I shut the door as she left. I headed for my room, knowing that tomorrow, I'd be slumped agains the same bathroom wall I was this morning...

Sorry it's a bit short guys! I'v been trying to get his done ASAP. Or should I say, ASAVP (As Soon As Vampiracly Possible. In the fourth book.) By the way, I just got the tenth book, and ordered the eleventh one already, though I have no idea when it's coming. Anyways, next chapter will have a 99.9 percent chance of having Violet's POV about Olivia. Hope you guys liked it! Review pleeaaassee!
