Paris, 1920
I was getting better at this whole vampire thing, but I still can't feed without the immense guilt breaking me down, reminding me of my family's tragic end. As soon as I was able to somewhat control myself and my cravings, Mícheál took me around the world to see the sights. We travelled to Berlin, Moscow, Venice, and now Paris. I love Europe more than my home, although I know I will go back there someday and try to face my past.
Mícheál and I really hit it off after a while, after I got over the fact that he was a stranger to me. We have a strange connection, almost spiritual, as if it was destiny, that we were meant to be. I had never put much faith into destiny before.
I was starting to get sick of travelling all the time, even though I liked to see new places. Mícheál suggested that we try to settle for a year or so in a big city where we wouldn't as likely be noticed. I chose Paris as it was so picturesque. I fell in love with the place. We chose a little apartment near the city centre and Mícheál got a nightshift at the docks. We were so happy I couldn't bear to leave after a year.
I was thinking a lot at the time about how limited we would be as a couple, a family, in my immortal body, frozen in time. I was ready for children and longed deeply for a baby in my arms. We did something that was unheard of in our kind. We adopted a little boy! I named him John, after my father. I was in bliss. Nothing could have made me happier at that time.
There were a few little complications though. My baby boy was human and I constantly craved blood. I don't know really how I managed it, but I stayed strong enough every night until Mícheál came home to look after out baby. I hunted away from the city so I couldn't be seen, although Mícheál vehemently objected to me hunting at day. His paranoia was constantly at my nerves; we haven't seen nor heard a thing from the Volturi, or even a vampire!
There was also the issue of schooling when John was old enough. This was a little easier to absolve. We couldn't risk being known by humans, or they would notice our lack of aging after a few years. Also, we have decided to tell little John the truth about us when he was ready. This wouldn't have been possible if John had constant human contact, our secret could someday be revealed accidently. I had decided that I was going to home school him until he reached his teens, then he would be able to go to secondary school, have normal friends, and hopefully, to some extent, have a somewhat normal life.
I looked down at my baby boy sleeping in my arms. My baby boy. Life was sweet. I had just come home after a hunt feelings depressed as usual, but my mood had lifted as soon as I saw him. My mother would have been proud of me if she could have seen this moment.
I like this chapter, Emma finally gets her happiness after so long. I was just gonna let the whole john thing run for another chapter or so but i think im gonna expand a bit more on it. It leads to a bit more drama and excitement!
