A/N: Hey guys. So, I know I told a lot of you that I would have this story updated after I finished my finals but, well, I lied. Unfortunately my Summer has been quite hectic lately. The new color guard season has started for marching band, my mother just went through surgery, and I've had a LOT of graduation parties to attend. But, here I am now and that's all that matters right? I hope so! Love you guys! Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KISSES!

Raven's POV

It was the day that I had been dreading and anticipating all week. Everyone was nervous, especially Alexander. When Dr. Zaharu reminded us this morning, we nodded solemnly and left it at that, though on the inside we were swirling with emotion.

Today we were having an official appointment for the baby. For the past week we have been keeping an eye on her with the heart monitor and other contraptions. She has slowly been making progress but that's all we knew. Whether she would be okay or not is till a mystery.

These worries were the last thing on my mind as I felt hot lips travel up my arm, slide over my collar bone, and stop right under my jaw. Warm breath tickled my skin as razor-sharp fangs skimmed teasingly over my throat. A cool hand reached behind my neck and lifted it, supporting and arching my throat so the sweet lips could suck and nip at my skin.

"A-Alexander?"

"Mmm," he mumbled against my skin. His other hand slid under the hem of my shirt, creeping up over my belly and up to one of my breasts. He squeezed it in his large, warm hands. I squeaked in surprise at the pain.

Alexander pulled his lips off my skin and looked at me with the softest eyes I'd ever seen. "Are you okay?"

I nodded. "Yeah, they've just been really tender lately."

He nodded and then resumed what he was doing and started massaging my breast. It hurt again, but then the pain started to relieve.

Things continued until I found myself being pinned down to the hospital bed and topless. We were both panting heavily, trying to catch our breaths. I locked eyes with him. They were so soft and deep, but also contained a fierce hunger. I thought I would never be able to look away.

Unfortunately, at that moment there was a knock at the door and our passion was shattered. Alexander jumped off the bed with lightning speed. In the blink of an eye he was sitting in his chair and calmly putting his hair back in place. I was too shocked from being pulled out of my trance so suddenly that I didn't have time to react. The door opened to reveal Dr. Zaharu on the other side who looked down at me curiously. I was still topless and a little sweaty.

"She was getting hot," Alexander explained coolly.

Dr. Zaharu raised on of her eyebrows. "I'm sure she was."

I felt my face flush even more out of embarrassment. The doctor smirked to herself and didn't say anything more on the matter. When her back was turned to check the monitors and IV Alexander tossed me my shirt and I quickly slid it over my head and onto my body.

When she turned back around she gave me another smirk.

Alexander scooted closer and held my hand as Dr. Zaharu recorded things from the monitors onto her clipboard. She didn't say anything, just nodded quietly to herself and scribbled things down. Apparently vampires were no exception to terrible doctor handwriting.

After a last satisfied look at the monitors she turned around and gave me a smile. "Everything looks good. Are you ready to begin?"

Returning the smile, I nodded. "Yep."

She began checking all of the usual things, pulse, temperature, blood pressure, etc. When she came around to measuring me, her mouth started slowly curving down into a frown. She started out with measuring my ever-expanding waist, then the length of my belly, and lastly she had me stand up to take my weight.

Alexander and I shared a nervous glance as the doctor flipped through her past records, comparing them to the ones today.

Dr. Zaharu sighed and looked at the two of us wearily. "I was hoping this problem would have righted itself with time. Unfortunately it's just getting worse."

I felt all of the blood immediately drain from my face. I looked at my boyfriend holding my hand to see him just as deathly pale as I'm sure I was at the moment.

"W-what problem?"

"You're underweight. Not only is it hurting your body, but it's hurting your baby. Right now it's too small. I can tell by just measuring you."

Tears began welling up in my eyes and I felt a lump form in my throat. My baby wasn't even born yet and I was already a terrible mother. I swallowed my tears, wanting to finish this appointment before I started breaking down.

I took a deep breath, squeezed Alexander's hand, and then looked up at the doctor, nodding saying that I was okay and to continue.

"I'm going to put you on a special diet. For the sake of both you and you baby you mustn't stray from it. You have been underweight since the beginning and after consuming the Black Iris, it's become much worse," she instructed me.

Alexander started rubbing his thumb over the back of my hand in comfort. Whether is was to comfort me or him, I couldn't tell.

She looked down at her clipboard for a moment and then resumed. "So you have been pregnant for four and a half months now. Being a half-vampire/half-human baby, that compares to about six months for a normal human pregnancy. I'm going to start the ultrasound now."

She pulled over the familiar machine and I removed the clothing from my belly. While she was still setting up the equipment, I looked down and smoothed my hand over my tummy. It was now big and round, but didn't quite look like six months.

After prepping me, she began the ultrasound.

The baby was definitely more developed than the last time. You could see it's facial features turning out and it's shape and everything.

Dr. Zaharu started pointing things out like the arms, the legs, the fingers and toes, the spine, etc. It was all so fascinating. Everyday, all I could see was my belly becoming increasingly more large and round, but now I can see what the inside looks like. I could see what was causing it all.

We all let out a yelp of surprise when the baby suddenly kicked and you could see it on the screen. The baby rolled over after that. Now, not only was I feeling it, but I could see it happening too.

"It seems they're very active today," Dr. Zaharu commenting.

I looked over at Alexander who was still holding my hand. He was staring up at the screen with a face filled with wonder and amazement. If I didn't know any better, I'd say there were tears starting to form in his eyes.

"Would you like to know the sex of your baby?"

Alexander and I both nodded excitedly. We had discussed this earlier today and decided that it was probably best that we know. We were both tired of just calling it "the baby" or "it" and things to that effect.

We both squeezed each others hands as she started moving the wand around my belly to get a better view.

"Ah, here we are…"

"What is it?" I asked impatiently.

"It's a….."

MWAHAHAHAHA! I'm so evil, I know. But I've been waiting to right this for forever! I hope this chapter was satisfying! REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW! I PROMISE IT MOTIVATES ME TO KEEP WRITING!
