I Love You Both

by angelsinstead

Marty has been waiting impatiently for her vampire lover to come and take her away from her unhappy existence. She would provide him with sustenance and sex, and he would provide her with safety from the abuse and unhappiness she had known in her life. How could she have known it would be so complicated? How could she have known that HE would want her, too?

Todd walked in carrying a tiny bundle in his arms. Very tenderly, he placed the precious baby into Marty's arms. "We have a new daughter," he told her. "What would you like to name her?"

"She was born on Christmas day," Marty spoke. "I'd like to name her Ariana Noelle."

Victor smiled when he heard Marty's name suggestion. "I think that name suits her well," he stated.

"Her big brothers and sister were thrilled to meet her," said Todd.

"I'm glad she's strong and healthy," Marty said as she kissed her baby girl's cheek. "But something isn't right. I need to understand these strange sensations and changes I'm feeling. What's going on? Please tell me."

Victor looked at Todd as they exchanged glances. "Alright, Marty. I will tell you," Victor spoke. "But you are not gonna like it. After our daughter's birth, you started hemorrhaging. We did what we had to do..."

"What?!" Marty gasped. "Does this mean I - I ...?"

"Yes... you are a vampire," Victor stated.

Marty was shocked and upset. She slapped Victor across the face as she began to cry. Victor barely even flinched when she hit him.

"No... no," she sobbed. "It can't be true."

"I'm afraid it is," Victor said sadly.
