A/N: I know, I know, it's been way too long since I've updated. I just got back from band camp and I've had practice nonstop lately. Not to mention the stress of school starting up again. Anyway, doesn't really matter because I'm here updating once again!

"So I hear you have a bun in the oven," Trevor smirked.
I looked up at him, horrified. "Wh-what?"
He stepped closer once I'd closed my locker. "You know what I'm talking about. You and Monster Boy decided to start making little Monster Babies."
I narrowed my eyes at him. "How do you know this?"
"I was at Evan's Park when you told Becky on the swings."
I gasped. How could I knot have noticed him there? I should have just told Becky over the phone.
"Stay away from me Trevor," I growled and quickly turned on my heel, walking towards the front entrance of the school. James was probably waiting for me outside.
Back at the mansion I sat in Alexander's attic room attempting to do homework. I was to distracted to get anything done though. Trevor knew I was pregnant and told the whole school. What did this mean for Alexander and me? Eventually the whole town is going to know about it. The rumor mill with start up again, different stories about my baby floating around. And there would be nothing we could do about it, except maybe hide in the mansion forever and never leave. Though I honestly doubt Alexander would let me do that.
I kept trying to do homework but only got about one fourth of it done until I gave up. How could I focus on the Battle of Bull Run when I have so much going on?
I traveled all the way down to the living room and fell back into the soft cushions of the couch. I flipped through the channels for a while and settled on a rerun of The Munsters.
I must have fallen asleep because The next thing I knew, someone was shaking me awake. "Wake up sweetheart."
I opened my eyes reluctantly. Alexander was standing over me with a slight smile on his face. He sat down o nthe couch and put my feet in his lap. "How was school today?"
I sighed loudly and draped my arm over my eyes. "Horrible."
My vampire boyfriend looked down at me, concern written all over his face. "Why what happened?"
"Trevor knows," I mumbled.
"What do you mean Trevor knows?"
I propped myself up on my elbows. "Trevor knows I'm pregnant and he told the whole school about it."
Alexander looked thoughtful. "Well we knew they would find out eventually. Turns out it was just sooner than we expected."
I shrugged. "Yeah but it still sucks."
Alexander got up and extended a hand to me to help me up, which I took. "Come on, Jameson should have dinner ready by now."
We sat at the dining room table where we were joined by Aunt Lydia, Uncle Aden, Claude, and little Vesuvius.
While everyone else ate steak with mashed potatoes and green beans, I ate the Romanian blood soup Alexander had brought me that night we told my parents.
We'd just gotten up out of our chairs after dessert when Aunt Lydia took my arm. "Come now. We'll talk like I came here for."
She took me into the TV room where we both sat on the couch across from each other.
"So what do you want to know?" aunt Lydia asked.
I thought for a while. What do I wan to know? "Um, how will this pregnancy be different from human pregnancies?"
Aunt Lydia thought for a while before she answered. "Well it will be shorter than human pregnancies, instead of being nine months it will only take about seven months. Um… you'll find yourself getting sunburn a lot due to the face that vampires can't go out into the sunlight. Also drink lots of water and lots of blood considering the infant will need both. Other than that you will have all the symptoms of a normal pregnancy."
"Is that why I look like I'm three months instead of one?"
"Yes, you'll look two months further than you really are."
"Oh," I said and rubbed my stomach.
Aunt Lydia put her hand on my knee and smiled. "You'll be just fine Raven." With that she got up and left.
I got off the couch and walked into the parlor.
Alexander was sitting there playing peek-a-boo with Vesuvius and the little infant just cracked up every time, causing my boyfriend to smile. After a while Vesuvius stretched out his tiny arms and yawned, shaping his mouth into a little 'o'. Alexander picked up the baby boy out of his carrier and rocked him in his strong arms. He walked around the room bouncing him slightly. It was then that I knew he was going to be an amazing dad. It was such a perfect moment and I could just wee him with our baby.
Grinning, I walked up behind him and wrapped my arms around his waist. "Watcha doin'?" I asked teasingly. He gasped and then relaxed when he realized it was just me.
"Raven," he breathed.
I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder, looking over it at the baby in his arms. "That's me."
Alexander turned to face me and smiled sheepishly still rocking Vesuvius. He glances down at the infant. "I was just uh-"
"Playing Peek-A-Boo?" I laughed.
He turned beet red.
"Don't worry it's cute." I lightly tapped Vesuvius's nose. "Plus you'll be doing this and a lot more for our baby," I said, placing my hand on my stomach.
Alexander smiled brightly. "And I cant' wait to do it all with him."
"Him?"
"Yeah I'm really hoping it's a boy."
"Oh course." I said while sitting on the couch. My feet were starting to hurt from standing. "Just like every other father-to-be."
The gothic vampire just stood there and kept bouncing the infant. "Well what man wouldn't want a son?"
I looked up dreamily. "I want a little girl. One I could dress up in little black dresses."
"I'd take him to soccer games."
"We'd have little gothic tea parties."
"I could teach him to paint."
We both grinned at each other.
Later that night I was lying on the big king sized bed Alexander bought for me while he ly next to me. He lay on his side with his hand on my rounded tummy.
"We're gonna have to schedule you a doctor's appointment soon you know."
I looked over at him. "Can I got to a regular doctor?"
"No but there is a vampire doctor in Hipsterville."
"sounds like a plan."
