Michael firmly held Selene's hand, conveying strength and reassurance to her.
They entered the makeshift ultrasound room.
"Lie down," Michael gently requested.
And Selene complied.
The ultrasound machine was already on, and Michael began applying the gel to Selene's belly. She felt a chill in her stomach, not knowing what to expect.
Would it be a confirmation that she was pregnant? And if so, how would they deal with it?
Michael slowly moved the ultrasound device over Selene's belly until something appeared on the screen.
It was the fetus.
Selene held her breath, marveling at the image on the screen.
Michael placed one hand on Selene's belly, watching the fetus on the screen attentively.
"It's definitely positive," said Michael. He seemed to be excited, and Selene knew this was confirmation that he appeared happy.
"I still can't determine the baby's gender, but I believe in a few weeks, we can find out. The baby seems to be healthy," Michael said.
Selene felt a rush of emotion hearing this, but she still had many doubts and fears. Her mind was filled with conflicting thoughts that haunted her.
Bringing a life into this turbulent and uncertain world overwhelmed her with worries. How would she protect her child from the threats that loomed in the world, the never-ending wars between vampires and werewolves? How would she reconcile her own dark nature with the responsibility of being a mother?
Then she felt a squeeze on her hand, and Michael was looking at her with concerned eyes.
"After so many centuries, I thought this would be impossible," Selene said, looking at the screen, her eyes welling up with tears.
Michael released the device and embraced Selene. "Believe me, I understand. This possibility never crossed my mind. We fight every day to survive, and this will be another reason to fight. For our family."
Yes, family. And Selene was sure of one thing: she would die before letting anything happen to them. No doubt about it.
"You're right, we have to protect the baby, and... I don't want to know the baby's gender, just protecting it is what matters," Selene said, pulling away from the embrace. "I need a bath," she said somewhat distant.
"Okay, I'll get things ready here," Michael said, watching Selene.
She nodded and left.
Selene went straight to the bathroom, took off her clothes and got into the shower.
As the hot water from the shower fell on her skin, something emerged in her pregnancy that has been in her mind like a constant echo in these last hours.
Images of his nieces' young, innocent faces came to mind. She remembered how much she loved them, their games, the bedtime stories she told them and now, she was about to walk a similar path, becoming a mother.
Selene was taken out of her thoughts by two hands on her waist. Michael entered so stealthily that she didn't even see him. He wasn't wearing anything.
"Are you okay? You haven't fed yet and you need it," he said worriedly.
She is feeling well, even though she didn't feed on the cloned blood she was fine. "I feel good, I'll try later," she said placing her hands on his shoulders, touching Michael was always calming for her.
"Bite me, you need it", Michael said, turning his neck. So she could feed.
Selene hesitated for a moment, but she knew she needed to feed for herself and the baby. She sighed and gently moved to his neck. Her lips touched his skin, and she felt the pulse pulsing just beneath the surface. Carefully, she sank her fangs into him, allowing blood to flow into his mouth.
The feeling was exciting. She felt empowered as Michael's blood flowed into her. Her senses heightened, and she could feel the heat of his body, the rapid pace of his heart, and the unique scent that was his alone. It was a deep, intimate connection, one that brought her together in a way she never imagined possible in hundreds of years.
Michael held her gently as she fed, stroking her wet hair. He understood her need and was willing to help her by sharing his own blood. Michael felt the world around them disappear as they were linked in this intimate way.
When she finished, Selene removed her fangs from Michael's neck and looked at him, her blue eyes meeting his pitch-black ones.
They don't know who made the first move, but suddenly, their lips meet in a passionate and lust-filled kiss, their need for each other only grows. Their bodies pressed against each other, as if they wanted to merge into one.
Michael held her tightly, as if he feared she might slip away. His lips explored hers with passion, seeking every inch of her mouth, as if they wanted to memorize every detail.
The kiss became a frantic dance of tongues, lips and moans. Selene felt her heart beating wildly, and the world around her distant. She couldn't think about anything else other than that moment and Michael's presence.
Selene placed her hands in Michael's wet hair as he held her waist and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She could feel how much he wanted it.
Selene feels her back gently pressed against the wall. Michael lingered for a second and looked at her, silently asking if she is okay?
Selene in response let out a small growl and tightened her hold on his waist. Taking this as a certainty, he shines and begins to devour her neck, Selene lets out small gems, Michael goes down towards her right breast where he licks the hard nipple and nibbles, he sells as her breathing changes and takes it out. his hand from her waist and placed her between them.
Selene placed one of her hands on his shoulders and pressed them with her nails, making them bleed and eliciting a moan of pleasure from Michael. The sensation that Selene quickly consumed was a tip of his research circling her clit, she was already having some spasms, drugs, she was very, very sensitive. She dug her nails into his shoulders further and spread his legs. As you rested your head on the tile, allowing his movements to lead to your release.
"Michael," she let out another even more necessary moan.
With that he used two fingers to penetrate there. "Selene...you're so wet for me," Michael whispered in her ear.
Selene opened her eyes and saw him watching her with hunger and desire. The intensity in his gaze made her moans turn into deep grunts, while Michael accelerated the movements of his fingers into her.
"I want you now Michael," his voice came out in a husky whisper.
"Not yet darling," his fingers pumped in and out faster and faster, "I want you to come for me," he spoke in a soft, thrilling growl. He changed her moan even more. Michael felt Selene throbbing for several beats before she melted around his fingers.
Selene leaned against the tile moaning and digging her nails deeper into Michael's shoulders as she reached the peak. "Um... Miguel."
Breathing and looking at Michael, she saw that he still had his black eyes and a lust in them. And she knew she wasn't sated yet, she needed him, to feel him. Leaning down to kiss his lips. "I still want you," she said in an authoritative tone.
Michael leaned his forehead against hers, smiling and said. "You look so sexy with that bossy tone... but I'm sorry to inform you that I'm not done with you yet my love", he said turning off the shower and using his hybrid speed he took them to bed.
Michael laid a surprised Selene on the bed and adjusted himself better between her legs. "Michael…" she tried to speak before Michael's hot, hungry lips shut her up, their hands roaming each other's bodies. Selene began to rock her hips, causing friction between their sexes. They both moaned when they felt him almost fit.
He felt like he could die at any moment. "Don't tease me," he growled softly and went for her neck.
"And what are you going to do about it?", he asked hornily and shaking his hips again.
In response, Michael left a trail of kisses on her abdomen and went down to the middle of Selene's legs. He stopped and inhaled the scent of her essence and let out a deep growl, "I'm going to suck you until you beg for me inside you."
The tingling sensation intensified, his tongue found hers and Selene could say she had never been as sensitive as she was now. And that made me shudder. As he caressed and licked the inside of my folds, his hands roamed my body. Sometimes he filled me with two fingers, sometimes he covered my breasts. My clitoris responded so easily to his rhythm, to the gentle circular movements and horizontal strokes, I found I could no longer control my legs. Michael separated and held himself wide open, placing the sides of my thighs on the bed.
My mind derives from the feeling that remains throughout my body, a carnal need that slowly fills me from the inside. I moved with him, guided by his rocking rhythm, his fingers taking their place inside me as I approached climax. I looked down, my eyes meeting his black ones. And then I lost control. My body waving over the bed, my breath escaping my throat in kind.
Michael didn't stop his movements and continued to suck her and she came for the third, fourth, and the fifth time was when he heard her "I need you inside me, Now Michael", she said in a breathless voice. He gave his last lick and her folds and positioned himself between her legs. He didn't need another warning and entered slowly.
As my wetness spread over him, an overwhelming vibration throbbed in my core. Their responses were moans and the increase of their burrowing.
"Fuck me..." I whispered and his hands moved to my hips. Even when our movements were fueled by late desire, he always showed a little something special. His lips took what they wanted from mine before wandering to my breasts. The combination of the two sensations makes me comfortable getting closer. I felt the proximity even before his teeth found my skin in a pinch.
"Michael," I groaned. His eyes trailed down my body until they reached my gaze. I dug my nails into his back, preparing myself for the construction that was just seconds away.
"Come for me," he said, panting from the rhythm, his words falling over me at the same time as one of his fingers touched my clit. My body was already in that place, the foundation, and it didn't need to break the barrier either...but it did anyway. He met me halfway, pumping with animal intensity and there were grunts and moans as we came. I felt his seed and him pulsing inside me.
We are breathing heavily for a few minutes. Until Michael pulled out of me and lay down next to me. His hands quickly grabbed my arms and he left me to him. I wrapped my fingers around his hair, laying my head on his chest, and we clung to each other, our bodies shuddering in sync.
"I love you, and I love that I was on that subway," Michael said softly, his blue eyes keeping Selene mesmerized as always.
Selene looked up, looking into those irresistible eyes that had captured her since their first meeting. "I love you too, and I'm glad I didn't drown you in the Danube," she said with a mischievous smile.
He laughed, enjoying her good humor.
After a tender moment, he spoke in a low voice, "Now, we need to tell our clan about the pregnancy," Michael whispered, looking at Selene with affection and expectation.
"I know," she said, falling to rest her head on Michael's chest.
Selene and Michael gathered all nine members of their clan in the meeting room. The tension was palpable as they sat around the large wooden table. Selene and Michael stood at the head of the table.
"As you all know, the city is in chaos. We can no longer stay here," Selene said in a serious tone.
"Where will we go?" asked Jack, a newly turned lycan, who had been with Michael for 8 months, learning about what was happening to him and the world he had just entered.
"We're heading to the hideout near Sinaia in the mountains. It's secluded and safe. But we need to move quickly," Michael replied.
"But before we go, there's something you all need to know," Selene said.
"I'm pregnant," she stated bluntly.
All clan members looked at Selene in shock. There was a tense silence for a moment until someone finally spoke.
"Congratulations, Selene and Michael," said Scott, smiling.
"That's incredible," Raquel added, also smiling.
Everyone else congratulated them as well. They thanked them, with Michael being a bit more gracious as usual, though everyone was used to Selene's demeanor. Perhaps only Jack, the newly turned lycan, and Akila, who had been bitten by a vampire while working as a receptionist at a hospital just over 16 months ago, were not.
"We need to move quickly. The city is becoming increasingly dangerous for us," Selene said.
"Let's prepare everything we need for the journey. We have to leave as soon as possible," Michael said.
"I'll leave the city ahead of time and keep you informed of how things are progressing, and I'll meet you at the hideout," Raquel said.
"Great. Let's pair up to leave so we'll attract less attention than all of us walking around," Selene said.
"So, everyone, prepare everything we need to take, and we'll meet back here in 2 hours to leave. Nothing changes; it's still Plan B," Michael said seriously.
With that, everyone left the meeting room to gather their belongings and depart.
