Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KISSES!

"Raven it's time to wake up. You have to go to school."

I opened my eyes to Alexander's whispering in my ear. I was about to complain but instead my stomach did a 360 and I dashed to the nearest bathroom and puked. God I hate morning sickness.

Alexander came in quickly after me and, like the gentleman he is, held back my hair and rubbed my back soothingly.

When I was done he handed me my toothbrush and I brushed my teeth.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine. Do I have to go to school?"

"No way. You're in my care today," he smiled.

Wait. Day? "What do you mean day? You have to sleep."

He shook his head. "Jameson and I covered all the windows and cracks that would let in sunlight. This way I can stay up with you."

"That," I began, kissing him. "Is so sweet."

He gave me a long, sweet kiss and then we traveled downstairs hand-in-hand. We sat at the dining table and James came in wheeling his creaky metal cart. The creepy skinny old man placed a bowl of thick red soup in front of me. The same one that Alexander had brought for me last night.

"I don't think I'll be able to keep this down…" I said worriedly.

Alexander pat my knee. "Don't worry, it's made to help you."

"Oh. Alright."

I took a sip of the warm red liquid. TI was sweet and a little salty, it was great. My head started to stop spinning and my stomach stopped churning. Is this some kind of miracle soup? I looked at Alexander questioningly but he was just smiling.

"I assume it worked?" he grinned.

I was only capable of nodding. Then he turned serious. "Iti's from the blood. Because you're human and the baby is half vampire, the blood is really good for you."

I finished my soup and we went into his TV room and went to the couch. He was sitting at the end of the couch while I lay on it with my feet in his lap.

"Wow! Your feet are really swollen."

I glared at my boyfriend. "gee I wonder why."

"Does it hurt?"

"Yeah a little bit," I shrugged.

He rubbed my feet and it started to help. We sat there in silence as his long arctic white fingers worked their magic.

"What do you think it's going to be?" He asked after a while.

"Huh?"

"The baby. Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?"

"Hmm… I want a girl."

He slid his hand up under my shirt and moved his hand across my belly repeatedly, rubbing it gently.

"I hope it's a boy," he said, his hand sending shivers up my body.

I pulled my shirt up so I could see my deadly pale abdomen. I was just starting show. It was round and looked like I'd gained about seven pounds.

"Wow, it's growing fast!" I exclaimed.

Alexander pat my tummy. "Yeah well I'm assuming that it's going to be different than normal pregnancies because he's half vampire.

I thought about that for a while. "Do you know anybody who's had a half vampire baby?"

"Well my cousin Claude is a half-breed. We could ask my aunt Lydia about it."

"We should invite them to stay at the mansion for a week or two."

"Alright I'll have James give them a call."

Alexander lay down behind me on his side and pressed my back to his chest. His cold hands were still resting on my stomach.

Suddenly I felt my stomach churn and printed to the nearest bathroom. My boyfriend held my hair back and rubbed soothing circles on my back.

"Thanks," I mumbled once I was done. Quickly my body heated up and my hands and face got all clammy. The world spun around me.

"Raven? Raven are you alright?"

I looked up and Alexander was there crouching over me with a worried look on his face. The edges of my vision were lined in black that was quickly closing in.

"Raven! Can you hear me?"

Then the darkness sucked me in.

I woke with a start, breathing hard and covered in sweat. I sat up and immediately regretted it from how dizzy I was.

A cold pale hand pushed me down. "you're okay, lay down you're alright."

Doing as he instructed I lie back down on the mattress. Alexander put a wet rag over my forehead. My whole body was hot and sweaty and my mouth was bone dry. I tried to ask for water but nothing came out.

Alexander seemed to understand because he put a glass to my lips and I let the cool, clear water slide down my throat.

"What happened?" I croaked once I got my voice back.

"You black out. And then your body started heating up like crazy. I took your temperature- it was a hundred and four degrees! So I took you up here, turned the fan on and stripped your clothes. You're now down to one-oh-two degrees."

Looking down I saw that I was in my Alice Cooper underwear and a black bra with red lace.

"How long have I been out?"

"A few hours. It's eight o' clock pm now."

I propped myself up on one elbow and placed my hand on my slightly swollen abdomen. "This little guy is already causing me trouble," I giggled.

Alexander chuckled (A/N: CUBES!) "That he is."

Bang, bang, bang!

My vampire boyfriend walked up to the attic door and opened it slightly. "Yes Jameson?"

The creepy butler said something quietly and Alexander looked back at me. "I'll be right back Raven." With that he walked out and closed the door behind him.

I sat up and everything spun around me. Once the world righted itself I got up and stretched. I sat on the window seat and looked out into the night. It was completely dark outside and the moon was full. Tons of sparkling stars danced around the glowing moon.

I heard Alexander's footsteps coming up the stairs and let the curtain fall back in place.

Alexander poked his licorice-colored haired head in. "Aunt Lydia is here."

A/N: Well I hope you liked it! What do you think Aunt Lydia and Claude will be like? Well I guess most of us know what Claude is like from the manga but what about Aunt Lydia? What is she going to tell Raven about her baby? Please Review!
