(A/N: I don't own My Babysitter's a Vampire. I've decided to move this story forward a little so that a month has passed since the last chapter, also I don't agree with Benny in this chapter but I thought that it was important to show you how far he is willing to go to save Erica. Enjoy)

Benny's POV

I'm really starting to worry about Erica, she has become very closed off and quiet. That confident spark that once shone from her every pore has gone, leaving just an empty shell. It has been a month since we found out about the 'mortal moon' and during that time, Erica has grown more and more secluded. I have spent many sleepless nights tearing through books, trying to find any information on vampire pregnancies, but even after weeks of frantic searching I have found absolutely nothing. It is getting late and everyone else is already asleep (the girls are in my room and the boys are in the lounge) and I am just beginning to fall into the soft, comforting embrace of sleep when I am suddenly shaken gently awake by my grandmother.

"Grandma? What's going on? It's 2:30 in the morning! Is something wrong?" I exclaim, immediately springing into a panic.

"Calm down, Benny! I need to show you something" she whispers, pulling me to my feet and motioning me towards the basement as she hurries up the stairs. A few minutes later, she re-emerges through the door way with a very bewildered Erica at her heals. She shuffles over to her table, beckoning us to follow her as she carefully turns the pages of a thick, yellowing book.

"Okay, Grandma, I'm sure that this can wait until a more reasonable time, it can't be that important" I grumble, starting towards the door with Erica at my side.

"Okay then...if you don't want to find out more about the 'mortal moon' and your little 'situation'" she mentions, shrugging as Erica and I sprint back to the table.

"A friend of mine stumbled across this book when he was cleaning out his wizard lair" she rambles, still flicking through the pages.

"Why don't I get a wizard lair?" I question, slightly saddened that I have missed out on such an opportunity.

"Jerry Russo and his family are wizards whereas you are a Spellmaster, you get more power but they get a lair...you win some, you lose some" she chuckles, finally reaching the desired page entitled 'Vampiric Relations'.

"Although there are very few documented occurrences of the 'mortal moon's affects as this phenomenon only occurs once every millennia and also does only affect a small percentage of vampires, there have been many theories as to why this happens. Some include planetary positions, ancient magic or spells performed by only the most powerful Spellmasters" Grandma pauses to give me a disapproving look and Erica looks as if she is willing to rip my head off.

"Hey, I promise it wasn't me" I mumble, raising my hands up in denial "...p-please don't kill me" I stutter, raising my arms up even further to protect my face from whatever Erica is planning to do to me.

"However the planetary alignment theory is most accepted in the magical community, there is still very little knowledge of this particular occurrence. 'Mortal moon' cases are extremely rare and it is even rarer to find detailed documents of the results however of the cases that are documented, only one case is known to have survived the affects of the 'mortal moon', this is due to the fact that the vampiric anatomy is not designed to withstand this kind of reproduction and can endanger both the mother and infant" Grandma finishes the page with a sigh and throws a sympathetic look toward Erica who seems to have gone into shock.

"Why did you stop there? There has to be more information on this... There has to be!" I sob, letting my face fall into my hands. Erica just stands there, staring at the page with a look of devastation and guilt.

"Surely there is something we can do to stop this, there has to be...I can't lose...I-I love her" I gasp, as tears stream down my face. I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up to see Erica who gives me a sad smile as a single tear trails down her cheek.

I turn to my Grandma, anger now coursing through my veins.

"Do something! Stop this, you are an Earth Priestess, just use your magic to get rid of it...I don't care if it is my kid, it's not worth losing her!" I yell, losing all self control before collapsing to my knees and curling myself into a ball, shaking uncontrollably.

"Benny, even if I could do something, I wouldn't...we don't know what affects it could have on Erica and that would put her in even more danger than she is already in...I know you would never want that. You just have to believe that she is strong enough to handle this and so does she, that is the best we can do" Grandma whispers soothingly as Erica wraps her arms around me.

"How are you taking this so well? That THING is putting your life at risk and it's all my fault...it's all my fault!" I shudder, gesturing to her flat stomach.

"You think that this doesn't terrify me, Benny? That I don't wake up in the middle of the night, in a pool of my own sweat at the thought of what this could do and besides stop feeling so much self pity, you're not the one that has so much too lose, you're right...this could kill me and I know that but as your Grandma says...there's nothing we can do to stop it" she sighs, blinking away the tears that are now forming in the corners of her eyes "if I die, you can always start again...you could have a real family...last time I checked, it takes two people to make a baby but you're being too selfish to realise that it isn't just you that is affected by this...I really thought that you were better than that Benny!" She screams before scrambling out of the room with her head in her hands.
