If anyone is to understand Vlad, it'd be me. Vlad may hid his emotions very well or act well, but others don't see it as well as I do. His emotions had a purpose for everything. If he was expressionless, it meant he's serious about something.
"What is it, Vlad," I asked.
He took a deep breath, "She isn't your clone. She is Samantha Elizabeth Manson's clone, with ectoplasm as an alternative gene. Danielle was supposed to be your clone and to match your exact core. Once you told me about the kindle core, I was afraid that it was a mistake…I must have picked up Samantha's hair without realizing it. I should have assumed your friends go into your room often." His head shook, "I had thought something was a bit off."
Damn…he's in trouble. Sam doesn't like being cloned, let alone not knowing the truth.
"We need to get to Amity Park. Sam won't like it if we don't tell her anything immediately and Danni deserves to know as well, but hell, how the heck is she so much like me?" That nearly lost me.
Vlad shook his head, "It's the fact she has a tomboy genetic. She's more than likely to have everything in common of your interests. Doesn't Samantha have similar interests as yours? Despite of being gothic, she should have some interests as yours."
To think about it, he did have a point. Sam did hate Dash, so it was always irreverent result. The outer space was okay with her and she would know all of it because of my passion. The food, though…it was too different. Danni eats meat and Sam is an ultra-recycle vegetarian. Then again, Vlad was attempting to have a son, so he could have changed so much in the DNA coding to be similar and the way he wants his son to be.
"Well, how fast can we get to Amity Park?"
He hummed, "About two hours on my private jets. I take it you wish to leave with half an hour?"
I nodded, "Yeah. Sam won't like it if I don't rush us over there and she will kick your ass for this and scream your ears off too."
He huffed, "I better hope she doesn't attempt to kill me. She doesn't know my pregnancy and the baby's life will be at risk."
I sighed, "I know. That's why I'll be there with you."
"Why have you been caring so much, Daniel?" He looked at me directly into my eyes.
I shrugged and figured keeping my mouth shut will get me somewhere. Maybe on the plane I can talk to him about it and bring up the night of us being drunk. That could work without bring in complication for either of us…hopefully. There would be no way I'd miss my daughter's birth or anything else because she's my little girl too.
"I'm going to pack up, you just handle the private jet and a place for us to stay." I told him.
At least I didn't demand him because I'd hate to explain why he was so willing to do that right away without a second thought. I needed to be careful and watch out for him as I can. I went upstairs and found myself both of our rooms. I packed up all the important clothes like his suits, casual clothes, large clothes, sneakers, and packed my clothes in. Then, I grabbed his shampoos, soaps, towels, robes, slippers, and my stuff as well. Thankfully, he had a large set of suitcase or travelling with so much would be crazy.
Footsteps were getting closer to my room and I was gathering my laptop to put in. Vlad walked up to my side and he was holding his laptop. I took his' after packing in mine, but neither of us has said a word.
"Daniel…the plane will be in the backyard by ten minutes. The hotel is arranged with two rooms of our own with a suite together." He told me.
My shoulders nearly tensed up when he talked, but he wasn't saying anything much after that. I zipped the suitcase as I nodded and went to grab my sneakers to put on. Vlad was already to go and I grabbed the travel case with us. We headed downstairs, to the kitchen, and out the back door. We hung in the back of the house until the jet arrives. There wasn't much to say or cover on the certain topic for us yet. I rather have privacy then or I'd be doomed to the world finding out. I never liked citizens finding out much from me at all.
The jet arrived in exactly ten minutes and we rushed on. I didn't dare to let Vlad carry a thing. I was able to put the suitcase in a secured place of storage and locked it up. We sat down on the comfortable seat across – it was a small one, but reasonable to be sitting. We were face to face.
"We will be in Amity Park in two hours. Enjoy the flight and help yourself to the snacks and drinks." The pilot announced.
I nodded and waited for nearly ten minutes of flight. It was a deadly silence that was not welcome between us. Something was making me nervous and I couldn't understand why being honest affects me. My fingers were about to peel the seat's cover layer. My eyes were kept on the window to keep things off my mind, but it didn't work entirely.
"Daniel," I almost jolted, "May I ask of you something?"
I hummed, "What is it?"
"I have been thinking…since I trust you and you were the second person to know, aside from Skulker. I do not expect you to take the role and I know you're young and don't want to be dragged down. I understand and-"
"-Vlad?" He hummed, "There's something you need to know."
His eyebrow rose, "What is it?"
"What do you remember that night where we were both so drunk on?"
He blinked and sighed. He doesn't know or remember. If he was hiding or pretending, I would have spotted the obvious, so it proves he doesn't know a damn thing.
"Barely a thing. All I remember is I was supposed to tell you about my moving in that city due to my company's need of my assistance. Why? I doubt you could recall the night at all." He sighed.
I huffed, "Not the entire night. Unfortunately, the damn paparazzi caught pictures of us that night. We were so drunk…" I sighed, it wasn't easy to confess what I knew, "Trust me, I didn't know right away until I complete idea of that night. I didn't want to jump conclusion and it wasn't easy. I needed to be sure and surely, there's no more proof than what Thursday put me through." My head shook, "I-I mean, I wasn't going to hide it from you forever and I knew that."
Dammit…talk about tell him straight wasn't going to be easy. He was so puzzled at my words or where I was going with this. At least he's giving me a chance to talk.
"The picture caught us kissing." His head picked up, "We were into the kissing I guess and led…" I hadn't felt so brave talking about this since I'm afraid of his reaction, "…us into our daughter's conceiving that night." I finally admitted.
He blinked and sat there with shocking news. Now, he finally knows that I'm the father of his kid. He got up and stood in front of me. For me, I was prepared to be slapped in the face and-
He hugged me instead. He hugged me tightly and felt wet on my back. It took me a minute to accept what was happening and hugged him back. My hands patted his back and let him express in any way he wanted.
"Oh, Daniel. Why didn't you tell me anytime sooner? It was better than hearing it was some guy. Oh, thank goodness! I was afraid she would pick up genes I wouldn't be able to explain." He sat down.
I blinked and had wondered if this was a dream again. Was this real? This was hard to grasp this time and I wasn't too sure how else to handle this any differently. Everything had changed so much inside of me and I wouldn't believe it at all. Vlad was happy and he finally stopped hugging, but tears still dripping down his cheek. I stood up and wiped his tears.
"I guess I was afraid you'd think I'd take the kid away from you. But, after finding out that we're having a girl, I couldn't help it and want to be a part of her life more than anything." I sighed, "For us being drunk, what made us have sex is the big question I'd like to know."
Vlad sighed, "I don't know either, Daniel. We must have thought to have sex would make our night interesting or some bet we did."
I huffed, drily laughed, and shook my head. Vlad might have had the point, I mean, being drunk would have had us doing anything without being in control of ourselves.
"Maybe, but I won't regret drinking. I want to be a part of her life…if you'd let me."
He smiled, "Of course. I was going to ask you if you could be her father, but youareher father. So, it's pointless to ask since you are and I'm rather glad it is your kid too, Daniel. I mean, considering neither of us had a choice in the matter because of our ill matter, but we are facing the consequences now."
I nodded, "I know…I was scared and hoping it wasn't mine, but I felt jealous almost. I was about to get pregnant, but I had no way to financially support at all."
He grinned, "Would you like to carry?"
I smirked at him, "How about wait until after this girl is born?"
He leaned in closely and softly brushing my shirt's collar a bit. I felt a bit invaded and backed up, but couldn't move any further because the seat behind me.
"Uh, Vlad," I gulped, "What are you doing?"
"You said you felt jealous and almost getting yourself pregnant, why not now?" He was trying to get me into this!
I chuckled nervously, "Erm, Vlad, I rather be drunk so I don't remember any of this…" I muttered that I rather not see us doing this or it'd be my nightmare for the rest of my life.
He groaned, "Please? I've been so horny ever since I've been pregnant and need some form of sexual release."
"Seriously! I don't even remember the first one and I'm the one who got you knocked up!" I huffed, "Come on, how I am going to support the kid myself?"
"Live with me and I'll provide everything. Besides, we'll need each other to raise the children." He smiled, trying to do it soon enough.
I gulped and he kept coming closer to me. I nearly collapsed in my seat and my hands gripped on the seat's arms to hold myself up. He's being so…seductive and his hand on my cheek, slipping down gently, and my eyes sealed shut.
"Vlad…I…Erm, give me some time to think. Right now, I doubt Sam would want to smell sex and ward her off in the wrong direction." I told him quickly.
He groaned miserably, "That will take over two hours to wait!" His arms crossed, demanding that I'd give him sexual attention.
I mentally shuddered with the idea of doing anything like it! I rather glad he's going to wait and let me decide first, I mean, we have a daughter to deal with first anyway! He'll do whatever it takes and I forgot that pregnant women tend to be more arouse for sexual activities. The problem was the fact I wasn't so willing because I'm not drinking or drunk.
Finally! He sat down, but totally grumpy about it. Damn! What am I going to do? It'd be hard to get use to the fact that my sexual performances will be with a man. Sure, I don't mind if other gay do it because they're together and I'm used to that. It's me! That is bothers the most. How could I stomach such idea without pukingmyguts out?
He's more than willing to give me everything to make it his way. Right now, I had too much to deal on my hand and Danni situation needed to be worked out first. Oh, I knew mom would learn as much as dad about Danni's existence eventually. There was going to be so much mess, even for Sam to handle. There's no bailing out the clone deal, but nothing is going to be changed. It's just acknowledging the fact what's new and probably attempt to kill Vlad somehow one way or another.
What's worse is…a king's submissive mates are supposed to be seducing their dominate mate anyway! Damn, if my kids have an archenemy like I do, the first thing they will learn is don't drink or end up pregnant either ways. There had to be a way, but what am I supposed to do?
Somehow, this is my mess anyway and being on my guard with Vlad is all I can do right now or I'll be the one having worse problem. No matter how I can redirect the situation, it would bite me in the ass and nothing could be altered or be helped. All there will be is causing me stress and stress takes a toll on me. Would it mattered if I let my pride died and do it to keep him happy? If I do, will he understand his role as my mate? Despite of the fact I have no feelings for him? He should know that there's no sparks between us, but…somehow, I wondered what the spark was that night.
I hope 3 chapters of making it up is worth the wait. All work is done by my beta! Give an applaud to Dragonian Master! She's doing such a fantastic job!
