Ash's point of view.The following couple of days passed quickly; there have been no more incidents at school, thank God. Dylan has been going to the Fire Pit every night after school; he's getting a bit too cocky with Bear. If I'm honest with myself, it makes me a little worried; I think it's time I got more hands-on with his training; I start taping up my wrists. Stan looks at me as he says."You're going in the ring with him?"I nod my head as I reply. "Yeah, he needs it." Anna pulls me to one side, her face filled with worry as she says. "You won't hurt him, will you?"I chuckle as I reply, "No, I won't hurt him. I just need to show him that he's not invincible, and I need you up there with me, baby."Her eyes go wide as she says. "Why?"I sigh. "Because if I lose control, I know you can bring me back; I would never hurt you, baby; I should be good though I've fought my demons for a long time. I know how to control it now. I've just never fought another with the same strength as
Anna's point of view.Oh my god, I'm so glad that tonight is over as I watch the pair of them in the ring. I've never been so frightened in all my life. I've seen first-hand what Ash is capable of as I watched him bring Areon down, and the frightening part is I've also seen how strong Dylan is when I've watched him fight.Thankfully though, they both get through this pretty unscathed, but Ash is right as Dylan fell to his knees at Ash's feet; in complete and utter bewilderment and shock, it was exactly what he needed. When Ash pulled him to his feet, the look of respect on his face was priceless.They stand together in the ring as they look at each other with respect, but I've learnt to read Ash well. As they look at each other, there is something else there, though, almost as if they are having a telepathic conversation between themselves. I have no idea what's happening, and they stay like that for a good ten minutes before they finally turn to leave the stage. Dylan stops and tur
Ash's point of view.After another sexy shower, we make our way downstairs; Anna sits on her usual barstool as I make a start on the breakfast.We've left Dylan in bed this morning; no need to wake him up so early when he doesn't have school today.My mind is still working overtime with what I saw last night; I think it's time to find out who we really are, but where do you even start with something like that?I don't know….I plate up the breakfast and put one in front of Anna; she takes one look at it before turning white, putting her hand over her mouth as she runs off to the downstairs toilet.It's pretty obvious what's about to happen, and I run behind her, just catching her hair in time to move it away before she decorates the toilet bowl with vomit. I keep her hair out of the way and rub her back until she stops being sick."Are you okay, baby?" I ask; she lets out a little sigh before she replies. "Yeah, I think so."I frown as I watch her wash her face and brush her teeth.M
Ash's point of viewYou never realise how long a minute is until you wait for those seconds to slowly tick by, especially when those seconds could be something that will change your life forever. then times that minute by three and fuck that's a long time!I look at Anna as I hold her shaking hand in mine and whisper. "Breathe baby, ……."She takes a deep breath as we wait for those last agonising thirty seconds. "It's time, baby…." I whisper; she shuts her eyes, clutching my hand as she says."I can't look, Ash...""It's okay", I reply before I walk over to the side and look down at the two tests sitting on the counter.Fuck………..I pick them up with my own shaking hands and walk back to Anna; before placing them in her hands, she still has her eyes squeezed tightly closed, and I whisper."Open your eyes, baby."It takes her a while; she takes a couple of deep breaths before she opens those beautiful blue eyes of hers before looking down at the tests sitting in her hands.She burst in
Anna's point of view.Ash Runs off to get some pregnancy tests, and I walk back upstairs and sit down on the bed, my mind a roller coaster of emotions. Can I be pregnant? No, surely not since being turned back from a vampire; I haven't even had a period yet; this must be a bug, even if it's lasting longer than usual.I can't be pregnant.I tell myself, but deep down, I think it's more the thought of taking a test knowing that it will most likely turn out to be negative.I know Ash is right, we need to know, but I don't know if I'm strong enough to confirm it when it's something that I've so desperately wanted for so many years.I hear Ash opening the front door before coming in; he runs up the stairs, most probably taking two at a time; he's so excited, and I know that he wants this too; the thought of letting him down breaks my heart. He pulls me inside the bathroom, passing me the tests with shaky hands. I take a deep breath before taking them off him.God, I'm going to break his he
Anna's point of view.I never knew being pregnant could be so tiring, not that I'm complaining because I wouldn't change a thing. I'm so happy I'm finally at this point in my life; growing a tiny human inside me is a dream that I never thought possible. A miracle. I just never knew how tired I would feel, bone-shattering tired, and the morning sickness has been horrendous, although I have no idea why they call it morning sickness, and it's morning, evening, and night sickness, and I'm really struggling with it.I know Ash is worried about me; he managed to get me in to see the doctor just to make sure that me and the baby are okay. If I were a normal person, I would probably laugh it off, but I'm not an average person; I'm far from it on the outside. I may look like any normal young woman, but on the inside, I'm a woman in her sixties, pregnant with her first child.And add to that that I'm also an ex-Vampire Queen who was once forced to drink blood.Yes, most definitely not normal.
Anna’s point of view.We head home together feeling much better about everything after speaking with Dr Rollingson. Maybe it's just me; I mean, I've never been pregnant before. Maybe this is normal; I've heard of other pregnant women saying how bad their morning sickness was, so perhaps it is just me being mard.I need to get my act together and stop feeling sorry for myself.That night much to Ash's annoyance, I insist on making dinner, trying my best to carry on as normal as possible, hoping that If I don't think about it, it will go away. Still, of course, it does not, and I feel absolutely dreadful, not that I’m going to tell Ash that, though every time he walks into the kitchen, I smile and tell him I'm fine.He walks in again, looking at me as he says. “Let me finish the dinner babe, go and get some rest,”I smile as I reply. “I’m fine, Ash; honestly, stop making a fuss.”He shakes his head as he walks out of the room. I know that I’m not being fair to him, but I don't know what
|Ash's point of view.Although I'm excited for Anna and this pregnancy, I'm not enjoying seeing her go through this.; she looks terrible; if I thought she looked pale when she was a vampire, it's nothing compared to how she looks now.I managed to get an early appointment at the local doctors, and even though the doctor assures us that everything is okay and Anna and the baby are both fine.I'm still worried…….Hearing the heartbeat and seeing our little dot eases my worries a little; it's a relief to know that the baby is thriving, but I can see that Anna isn't, and I'm sure it isn't normal to be this ill, I know that women get morning sickness, and some have it worse than others, but with Anna, it's just constant, she can't keep anything down, but it's not only the morning sickness. It's everything, she looks exhausted, and it's breaking my heart to see her so ill.She tried so hard to pretend that everything is fine, I just want to make this okay for her, but I don't know how. She'
