"You know we're going to have to tell your parents soon," he informed me.

Oh no! I totally forgot about that. I could see it now- my father pulling out his best tennis racket and beats Alexander while my mother yells at me for being irresponsible and not using protection.

"What if we just not tell them at all?" I asked hopefully.

"I'm pretty sure that when you're walking around eight months pregnant, they're going to figure out that it's not just fat."

"What if we moved to Romania with your family?"

"Raven."

"Sorry."

I smiled sheepishly and he tightened his arms around me.

"Everything will be alright. So your dad will want me murdered and your mom will forbid you to see me again, big deal. What I'm worried about is Dullsville's reaction and what will happen to you at school."

I groaned. "Not only will I be the freak of the school, I'll also be considered a slut. I don't even want to think about what Trevor is going to do to me."

"If anyone hurts you or lays a hand on you, they will die," he growled. And from that tone of voice, I didn't dare doubt that he would go and suck all their blood out. I shivered at the thought.

"Well I better get you home," he said picking me up.

Then he bent his knees and groaned. "god you're heavy."

I'm heavy already? How is that possible? I quickly climbed out of his arms and ran out of the mansion's front doors.

"Raven I was just kidding!" Alexander as he ran towards me. He came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "I was just kidding, you're not heavy. I just carried you all the way from the cemetery to here an hour ago remember?"

I crossed my arms over my chest. "Okay well you might be kidding now, but what about in a few months? I'll definitely weigh more then." I blinked back unwanted tears.

My vampire boyfriend leaned in close and kissed the spot between my neck and shoulder. "And I'm going to love it. Because it will show that both you and the baby are healthy."

I blushed. Aww! That is probably one of the sweetest things he has ever said to me. After that we made out in the black Mercedes and then he took me home. That night I dreamt about the family I was going to have with the boy atop Benson Hill.

"Come on Raven wake up! It's time for school!" Mom shouted when she was only standing about three feet from my head. Am I deaf now or something?

I opened my eyes to see here standing, hands on hips, at the end of my bed. My body was covered with a thin sheet of sweat and my stomach felt like a witch brewing her cauldron.

I stood up, jumped off my bed and raced to the bathroom. Once finished emptying the contents of my stomach into our porcelain toilet, Mom came in the bathroom asking if I was alright. I just groaned and clutched my tummy.

"I'm calling your school raven, you're not well enough to go today." Doesn't take a genius to figure that out. With that she walked down the staircase leaving me to lay on the cold white tiles. I spend most of the day in there, partly because I kept throwing up, but mostly because I don't think I could have gotten up off the floor if I tried sometimes. Before she left for work, mom brought me a bunch of cold water bottles, saltine crackers, and one of my favorite Anne Rice books. But the only thing I could do was worry.

It's been a week since I told Alexander that I was pregnant, and we've both decided (And by both I mean him) that we're going to tell my parents tonight. I invited him over for dinner and during dessert- at which time Billy Boy will beat it at the cost of five bucks- we will drop the baby bomb on them. If all goes as planned Alexander will leave in one gothic piece and I won't be sent to a convent to become a nun and pray for my sins.

The week has gone fine mostly. Nobody knows about my secret. More importantly- Trevor doesn't know my secret. I'm almost scared of what his reaction might be. He's definitely known for ruining a lot of things for me. When Alexander and his family first moved into Dullsville Trevor started a rumor that convinced the whole town that the Sterlings were vampires. I snuck into the mansion to prove them all wrong, but when I took my boyfriend to the Snow Ball he blackmailed Becky into telling him everything about my boyfriend and my boyfriend and me. He also told Alexander that I was hoping he was a vampire. He got so mad because he thought I was like all of the other gossipmongers and wouldn't respond to my calls for a week. I'm not even going to tell you how Trevor ruined my prom.

So the only other person that knows about the tiny vampire inside me is Becky. I told her on Saturday at Evans Park, our meeting place.

We were sitting on the swings after I called her saying I had major news.

"So what's this huge news you have to tell me?" Becky asked swinging her legs like a little toddler.

"first you have to promise not to get mad and not to tell anybody."

"Not even Matt?"

"Not even Matt."

She looked nervous and guilty. I knew she hated lying to him or keeping secrets from him but it's just something that has to be done.

"Well alright," my best friend agreed. "But only because I love you."

My stomach flipped from nervousness. Becky was really old fashioned. She didn't believe in sex before marriage. I'd known she would get mad at me.

"I'm pregnant."

"What? Is it Alexander's?"

"Of course it is!"

Her face was that of pure disappointment. "Why didn't you at least use protection or something?"

"It was all, um, kind of spur of the moment."

My mousy best friend scolded me for the next five minutes and then got all excited. She couldn't wait to be an aunt and said that I would be a great mother and blah, blah, blah.

Then she said something that's really bothering me. "Hey wouldn't it be funny if your baby ended up being normal? You know like a Dullsvillian?" I swear I almost slapped her.

"Raven I'm home!" my mother shouted pulling me out of my memories. She slammed the front door and I heard the click clack of her heals on the kitchen floor. They traveled up the stairs and to the bathroom door.

"Have you been in here all day?" My mom asked staring at me on the floor.

"Uh…. No?"

"I'm going to call Alexander and cancel dinner for tonight," she said.

Before I could object she already whipped her phone and walked away.

Great, if she cancels dinner, when are we going to tell my parents? Not that I really wanted to tell them at all, but they kind of need to know.

Fifteen minutes later, I'm still lying in bed with my head spinning when my cell phone starts playing the theme song to Halloween.

"Hello?" I croaked.

"Hey it's me." Alexander.

"Hey."

"Are you okay? Your mom just called to cancel dinner. She said you stayed from school today because you aren't feeling well."

I sighed into the phone. "No need to worry about me, it's just morning sickness. My only worry is how we're going to tell my parents now."

"I can still come over later tonight."

"Sounds good. I love you."

"I love you more," he said mysteriously and hung up.

I was sitting on the couch in the living room reading my beat up copy of Dracula. I kept looking at my Edward Scissorhands glow-in-the-dark watch. Alexander should be here any minute now.

Ding Dong. That would be him.

"Oh um hello Alexander, what are you doing here? My mother asked nervously. Despite how sweet and polite he is, Mom still gets fidgety around him, like he's a kidnapper holding her hostage.

"I came to see Raven. I brought some things that should help her feel better."

"Oh alright then, come in."

Alexander walked into the living room with my mom following close behind. It was a strange sight. My gothic vampire boyfriend with his black silk shirt, black tight jeans, black Doc Martens and silver stud earrings, standing in the middle of my straight-out-of-a-catalog living room.

He sat next to me on the couch with a black bag. "I brought you some things to make you feel better," Alexander said while pulling out a plastic Tupperware container. It was filled with a red liquid that sloshed inside the bowl. I was kind of worried as to what was in there. Blood?

He leaned in and whispered in my ear, "We normally give this to vampire women with morning sickness. The recipe called for a cup of blood but since you're human I only put half a cup in. Only because the baby is half vampire and it needs blood." My only question is: who's blood is it?

Next he pulled out a small plastic baggie with three tiny brown balls in it. "Romanian specialty. My mother swears she would have died if it weren't for these pills."

I nodded solemnly. I didn't like having to take these kinds of things. Why couldn't I be a normal Goth teen?

Alexander kissed my head, knowing how I felt about everything. "I'm going to go get your parents and we'll tell them okay?" I didn't respond in any way but he understood and went to get my mom and dad. They came in with worried faces.

"We have something important to tell you," Alexander goes once we're all sitting.

Silence. I look around to see the three of them looking at me expectantly. I guess I'm the one telling them. I took a deep breath and said loud and clear, "I'm pregnant with Alexander's baby."

I don't really remember what happened next except for my mom sobbing uncontrollably and Dad's face turning beet red and started yelling at Alexander.

Then my dad said something that caught my attention, "Alexander you're paying to fix this."

My bat-transforming boyfriend looked confused. "fix?"

Dad's eyes narrowed. He said the one word I feared he'd say the most. "Abortion."

"Paul!" Mother scolded.

I placed my hands over my lower abdomen and Alexander's arm pulled me closer and tighter into his side.

"Mr. Madison," he began, resting his hand over mine. "Raven and I are not going to kill our own baby. We have already decided to keep it and raise it."

Dad's went from red, to blue, to purple, and the vein in his neck was throbbing angrily. "A baby is a huge responsibility," he growled.

"We're ready to take on this responsibility."

He leaned back in his armchair and crossed his arms with a slightly smug look on his face. "Fine, if you two are so sure you can do this, Sarah and I aren't helping you at all. Not even with shelter, so Raven I suggest start packing now."

"Paul what do you-"

He put his hand up to silence my mother. "It has to be done Sarah."

Once again my mother was crying, but this time so was I.

Alexander and I went up to my room and he pulled out my overnight duffel bag from my closet. "Just pack some things for the next few nights. I'll get the rest later. Don't forget your school bag," he instructed glumly.

The ride to the mansion was silent except for the occasional sniffle from me. When we got back he carried me up the three flights of stairs to his attic room and set me on the mattress. I cried all that night, sobbing like crazy. Alexander kept telling me to drink some water and that I was going to get sick if I kept crying, but I didn't care. Eventually he just sat next to my curled up body and stroked my hair.
