Author Note: Please note that these are not in any kind of order; I'm probably going to skip all over the place. Yes, I am in one of my moods right now and am probably going to put ShikiXRima in the worst situations possible for a while. By the way, do vampires have periods? I think they do but Vampire Knight isn't exactly the anime to tell you that kind of thing...

It was my 18th birthday, and where was I? In my room at Cross Academy, feeling horrible.

"Takuma said to wish you happy birthday for him." Shiki mumbled from his spot beside me. "So happy birthday from Takuma."

"Tell him I said thanks." I pressed my face into a pillow. I felt faint all the time, standing up always resulted in unconsciousness, and occasionally the room spun. Today was not a good day.

"Do you feel sick any other way?" Shiki rubbed my back. "Rima?"

"No. Not really." I paused and slowly rolled from my side onto my back. "Occasionally the room spinning makes me nauseous, but that's all."

"You should drink something..." Shiki opened my nightstand and started to shuffle through it for my case of blood tablets.

"No." I grabbed his arm. "Not that, not right now. I don't feel good, Shiki."

"Fine." He pulled me half overtop of him and pressed my head down so my lips were against his throat. "Drink."

I hesitated. Drinking each other's blood wasn't an uncommon occurrence between us, but I didn't want to right then. It just seemed weird at the moment.

"Rima... I want you to feel better. Please." Shiki moved his hand from the back of my head, giving me an opportunity to escape, but I didn't.

Carefully, I let my fangs sink into his neck. I only drank for a few moments, but when I pulled away, I felt immensely better. The room quit spinning, and I cuddled up to Shiki.

"Better?" He asked, slipping his arm around me.

"Mhm." I kissed his cheek.

I realized about a week later that my period was late. I hadn't been dizzy since I drank Shiki's blood, and I chose not to tell Shiki, or anyone, about it. I tried my best to ignore my skipped period and blamed it on stress.

But two more weeks later, I realized I still hadn't gotten my period. I finally gave in and told Shiki.

"I'm late." I sighed shakily. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before. I thought it was stress..."

Shiki didn't look shocked at all, but then again, he rarely did. "How late?"

"Almost a month." I leaned on him and he held me close. "I don't know for sure... that I'm... pregnant... but this isn't normal." I looked up at him. "Are you mad?"

"Why would I be mad?" Shiki gathered me onto his lap. "You were scared. I would've appreciated knowing before, but I'm not mad that you didn't tell me."

"You're the best boyfriend ever." I breathed a sigh of relief. "Best anything ever."

"But there's something I wanted to talk to you about..." Shiki smiled at me, moving me off his lap.

"Huh?" Of course, I was clueless. As always when it comes to these things.

Shiki spun around, ending up on front of me on one knee. My eyes slowly began to bug out of my head. He opened a ring box and a diamond ring glimmered at me. "Rima, will you be my wife?"

All of my worry forgotten, I tackled him to the floor in a hug. "Of course!"

He slid the ring onto my finger and we lay on the floor for several more minutes.

"Shiki?" I whispered, frozen in the process of getting up, so I was actually pinning him down. "Do you only want to get married because I'm possibly pregnant?"

"No." Shiki chuckled, as if this genuinely amused him. "I was planning to propose on your birthday, but my plan was messed up when you didn't feel well."

I smiled and got to my feet just as the door opened. Takuma stood there, and he glanced down at my ring. "So you said yes!" He grinned. "Congratulations to you two!"

I smiled. "Thank you, Takuma..."

A week later, I finally found myself brave enough to take a pregnancy test. By now everyone knew I was, I just wasn't sure I wanted to admit it. Aidou had even been being good, or at least, his version of good, which was giving input of names.

I watched as the pregnancy test slowly showed me the words, "YES" across the screen.

But I knew that everything would be ok now. Shiki wasn't upset, he wasn't scared, and even though I was scared, he would be there for me.

Always.

Author Note: Yay! I didn't do another angst-y ending! Vampire periods... somehow that's ironic. Well, tell me what you think in a review or PM, if you want to that is, and thank you for using some of your precious time to read my story, it means a lot to me!
