Chapter Eight
Karen woke up cold. Not wanting to open up her eyes she wiggled around trying to find the source of the coldness. Her skin touched his and she opened up one eye to peek where she was.
Her heart fluttered when she saw she was in the homey base of the headless horseman. She looked over at him. He was sleeping soundly, bare back turned to her. Then it hit her. She lifted up the sheets and saw she wasn't wearing any clothes. Her face reddened and her eye twitched. Klaus shifted face toward her and he wrapped his arm around her chest and pulled her close to him. Karen didn't dare move.
"Good morning love." He whispered into her ear.
"Uh, what happened?" Karen said slightly embarrassed.
"We foiled Gray in his plans to steal you." He said as he rubbed his face in her soft, silky hair.
"How?" she squeaked.
"By making love of course. Are you saying that you don't remember any of this?" Klaus asked sitting up.
"Are you saying we had sex without using protection!?!" Karen yelped.
"Love, I don't understand-," Klaus said.
"What are the chances of me getting pregnant?" Karen asked him, to afraid to look at him.
"There is a possible chance, but we'll discuss that when the time comes. There is no need for you to worry." He said stroking her hair.
"No need to worry!? We'll talk about this later?! Are you nuts? What am I supposed to do if I get pregnant? How will you be able to support us? Oh God, people will start to think-," Karen started.
Klaus grasped her by her bare shoulders. The combination of his pleasantly chilled touch and his firm strong hands sent shivers up her spine.
"I tell you we'll talk about this later because you don't need to hear about how these things work out IF it does happen at all." He said firmly.
"But why?" she cried.
"Because it is a horrid thing." He said turning away.
"What's wrong?" Karen said reaching for his cold shoulder.
"You'll be bearing a monster and its all my fault." He said quietly.
Karen sat there with her hand still on his shoulder. She was deep in thought. She knew she was over reacting and this wasn't fair to Klaus. What did he mean by monster? Would the child be deformed? Devilish like its father? Karen shook.
"Look, I know I'm over reacting, and this isn't very fair to you. If, and that's IF I DO get pregnant, then I'm sure we'll both make it through it. Because I love you, and I know you love me, always and forever. And I'm not sure what you mean by monster but I'll still love the child because it's your child. And I'll promise to be a great mother, and, and-," Karen cried.
Klaus turned around to hug her. Karen never knew ghost could cry. He kissed her forehead and in return she kissed his eyelids. Klaus laid her down on her back and kissed her lips. Karen ran her hands up and down his back, but then she stopped. She pushed Klaus off of her and crunched over in pain. She started coughing uncontrollably. She coughed once, really loud into her hand, and when she pulled it away her eyes widened when she saw blood. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she fell backwards.
"Karen! Oh God no. I HAVE created a monster."
