Life
                It didn’t take long for Kaylee to become more curious and fascinated with a vampire pregnancy then being afraid of them. Jeremy showed her the information they had gotten from the people who abducted and experimented on Dani. Her two past pregnancies that both came to a tragic end at much earlier stages then this one.
                Adam refused to let Dani leave the house without him now. He had become more protective and jealous of her then ever. The fear that they would be discovered and she taken away and tortured again had gotten worse with Kaylee’s arrival and growing enthusiasm on the matter. It could lead to dangerous carelessness. With Jeremy’s connection at the local medical college, it gave them some access to medical equipment they needed, but they still had to be careful not to attract attention. Another zombie in their lives increased the risk and Adam was hardly happy about it. He had already seen and knew to well what could happen when they put their faith in the wrong people. He hadn’t forgotten Sean and all the atrocities he had committed on Dani while repeating constantly it was because he ‘loved her’. Disgusting.
                Dani’s abdomen had swollen to a considerable size at this point. It truly fascinated Adam to watch her body change, and strangely he found himself even more attracted to her then ever. When they slept during the day, they would always settle in the same position. Adam lying behind her, their bodies melded together, with his arms around her body, and his hand resting on her belly where their child grew.
                He found himself feeling strange about a great many things, but Eve assured him there was nothing wrong and it was perfectly fine. With Jeremy and Kaylee estimating that Dani would give birth within 1-2 months, Eve finally agreed it was time for her to come home. Adam couldn’t be more relieved. He needed her there and was certain that Dani would be pleased to have her home as well.
                Everything seemed to be going well even though Dani had started to display some strange behavior. She craved raw and bloody meat. The first time to see her take down an extremely rare, barely warmed piece of meat was a bit jarring. Like a wild and rabid animal starving for food. After that episode, Adam kept a supply of steaks in the fridge with their blood. It was obvious the craving was coming from the life inside her needing such sustenance.
                Occasionally it affected her emotions and mood as well. Not that it was different from a human woman when she was with child. But sometimes she would growl and gnash her teeth at anyone who came near her. Her eyes would glow, her claws were sharp, and she bared her fangs. She would practically turn feral making her extremely dangerous.
                Other times, Adam would find her crying filled with terror and fear usually with no clear reason for it. The further along the pregnancy went, the more common place these behaviors became. It was one of the reasons Adam wanted Eve home so much. She had the natural ability of having a calming effect on everyone around her.
                Dani was sleeping a lot more now. Her body had turned all its energy to supporting a nurturing the child. Of course Adam was concerned about it, but Jeremy and Kaylee both assured him that she was fine as was the baby. Either way he continued to watch over her care for her as he promised.
Welcome Home
                When Eve came out of the airport terminal she saw Adam waiting for her beside his car. A smile swept her face as she walked to him putting her bags down as they embraced tightly. She’d missed him of course, and had wanted to come for sometime but knew that it was best she’d stayed away for a while. They kissed hungrily before embracing again as Adam nearly lifted her from the ground hugging her so close.
                “Where’s Dani?” Eve asked curiously noting that he was alone, “Is she alright?”
                “She’s with Jeremy. They took her to the medical college tonight.” He said. “I told them we would meet them there.”
                Eve smiled and gave a nod. Adam picked up her bags putting them in the car before they got in and headed off towards the college. “Will they be doing a sonogram tonight?” She asked curiously.
                “Usually do. It seems to be the routine.” He said his hands squeezing the steering wheel slightly. Eve noticed his tension when she had arrived at the airport. Dani being out of his sight right now put his teeth on edge. She reached over taking his hand and holding it tight.
                “She’s alright darling. Jeremy won’t let any harm come to her.” She reassured him. Adam sighed a little in frustration but gave a nod.
                When they arrived at the college, Jeremy and Kaylee were attending Dani who was silent and just stared at the ceiling. She was still quite embarrassed about this as they had to do internal sonograms but she always clinched her jaw resolving to get through it. Jeremy smiled when Eve came in and she walked over hugging him. “Hello there! You look wonderful.”
                Jeremy hugged her back, “Thank you, you’re looking pretty good yourself.” He motioned for Kaylee to come over, “This is my, fiancé, Kaylee.” He said proudly introducing them.
                “Of course.” Eve took her hand, “I’ve heard so much about you. It’s a pleasure.”
                “Like wise.” Kaylee said a little nervously. She never forgot that they were vampires, and couldn’t help be nervous now that another one had arrived. “You’re here just in time, we’re getting ready to do the sonogram.” She said trying to shake off her nervousness. Adam had walked over to Dani, kissing her forehead and holding her hand. He knew how humiliating this was and how vulnerable it made her feel.
                “Get on with it then.” He demanded causing Kaylee to jump. Eve walked over next to Adam as Kaylee and Jeremy went to work. After a few moments, the image of the baby came onto the screen. Eve’s eyes lit up.
                “Oh darling.” She said smiling resting her hand on Dani’s arm, her other wrapped around Adam’s. “How beautiful.”
                “I think it’s safe to conclude that you’re having a daughter.” Jeremy said. It had taken a while to determine the sex of the baby as it never seemed to want to be in a position to give them a clear answer to their question.
                Dani just gave a nod not saying anything. Jeremy took a few pictures from the angles they could get before Kaylee withdrew the scope. Instantly she stood and hopped off the table to go and get changed. Eve smiled hugging Adam and kissing his cheek before looking to Jeremy, “Is she alright? Are they both doing well?”
                Jeremy gave a nod, “Healthy as can be.”
                “As developed as the baby is, she could give birth at any time. But going by the human gestation period she has a few weeks left.” Kaylee added.
                Eve looked up at Adam again, “A little girl darling, how wonderful.” He just grunted slightly looking at the screen. Eve smiled and rested her head to his shoulder looking at the picture of the small one as well.
                Dani came back fully dressed and seemed to be more comfortable and at ease. Kaylee had been clothes shopping for her during the day and got her a few outfits of maternity clothes. Jeremy had told her that Dani liked purple the best, but what she came up with was more of a lilac. But Dani smiled and thanked her having no choice but to wear them when none of her other clothes fit. Maternity stores didn’t usually have a 24 hour policy.
                Eve smiled and hugged her tight as Dani hugged her back, “Hello sweetheart.” She said having missed her very much but was excited for her too. It was such a thrilling experience. Eve took Dani’s hands, “How are you feeling?”
                “Hungry.” Dani admitted even though she had fed before leaving the house and was embarrassed that she was so hungry again already.
                She gently stroked Dani’s hair back out of her eyes, “To be expected. Your little one is no doubt easily famished.” She wrapped her arm around her and kissed her cheek before looking at Adam, “We should get her home darling.” Adam was all for that hating it when she left the house at all lately.
Current Events
                After Dani fed when they returned to the house, she went to sleep almost immediately. Eve and Adam put her to bed before returning to the living room. “I haven’t seen any indication of a nursery in the house, Adam? Haven’t you started on one yet?” She questioned.
                “A bit difficult considering the limitations of being a vampire in a zombie’s world.” He said sitting on the couch reaching for one of his guitars.
                “Well yes, but she could order things for it with her computer, couldn’t she? Or catalogs and the like. I’m sure Jeremy and Kaylee would help get what is needed during the day when you can’t go out.” Adam just plucked his guitar as though trying to ignore the question. Eve could sense that there was something off about the subject and moved over sitting down next to him. “What’s wrong darling?” She asked sincerely.
                Adam sighed his hand resting on the strings of his instrument to quiet them. “The child will be here soon. A daughter.” He said simply.
                “Oh, darling. Were you hoping for a son?” She asked sympathetically turning more towards him on the couch.
                “It’s not that Eve. It didn’t matter to me if it were a boy or a girl.” He leaned his head back looking at her, “I don’t know how to be a father.”
                Eve reached up gently stroking his hair. Adam closed his eyes enjoying the feel of her touch. He’d missed her so much. “Everyone feels that way darling. But you love Dani. This baby is part of you both. Part of all of us. You’re love is what is most important and will be your guiding light. You mustn’t be afraid.”
                “Being the first to father a vampire child, . . . I can’t exactly say it was a ‘honor’ or ‘privilege’ I was actively seeking.” He said opening his eyes looking at her again, “But at the same time. . . .” He paused before sitting up putting his guitar side and taking Eve’s hands in his. “When . . . I feel the baby kick inside her, The way she seems to be happy when Dani and I laugh or play music, the overwhelming sense of protectiveness I experience when I hold them in my arms . . . it’s hard to put into words what it feels like.” Eve smiled looking into his eyes listening to him speak. “It’s all so strange to me.”
                She reached up cupping his face in her hand gently stroking his cheek with her thumb. He kissed her palm before resting his face against her hand holding it tight to him. “The unknown can be terrifying for anyone. Zombie or vampire. The fact that this is the first time it has happened for our species is irrelevant. It’s such a wonderful and spectacular thing to welcome a new child into the world. Of course there will be mistakes along the way, but that can’t be helped. It’s how things are learned. But with love, and patience, there is no reason that nervousness and fear should overwhelm you.” She leaned forward and kissed him gently looking into his eyes. “We’ll begin on the nursery tomorrow. The three of us. We don’t have much time, but everything is going to be fine darling. Better then fine.”
                Adam smiled and kissed her again, then once more before wrapping his arms around her holding her tight. She always seemed to make the world stop spinning and fall back into place. Much in the same way that Adam did with Dani.
Preparations
                Dani lay on the floor, her legs propped up on the couch beside Eve as she thumbed through her book. Eve’s hand rested on Dani’s leg as she rubbed it a bit while she scrolled through a few websites. Adam stood among his instruments with his headphones on working on a song that had been in his head for a while, writing the notes on the music sheets as it progressed.
                “What about horses?” Eve said looking down at Dani, “Little girls are very fond of all things horse.”
                “Yeah, but at the same time, will she ever get to see a horse much less ride one?” Dani said resting her book on her chest looking up at her.
                “Of course she will darling. It will just be at night instead of during the day. It’s even possible to own one if so desired.” She said softly. “Adam and I used to ride horses all the time.”
                “True.” Dani said thinking about it. There were many things that their baby wouldn’t get to do, wouldn’t get to experience because she was born a vampire. It hurt Dani’s heart as her own human existence was still fresh in her mind not having been turned that long ago. She had thoughts about that frequently that made her sad.
   “Darling,” Eve said closing the laptop putting it aside as she moved closer looking down at her. “There are very few things she won’t be able to do. For the most part she is free to do as she likes. Simply at night.”
                “Have friends and play with other children?” Eve fell silent knowing that was one experience she wouldn’t have. She was the first and only pure born vampire. Even if she were to play inside with them, there were plenty of other dangers such as the fact she wasn’t human herself and no doubt would have to be taught to control herself like any child. If she had Adam’s temper that would be easier said than done.
                “We’ll find ways for her to do everything possible. There are some limitations, yes, but that doesn’t mean she won’t be happy.” Eve said. Dani nodded with a soft sigh picking up her book again turning the page.
                “How about Willow?” Dani asked, “Or River, or Rayne? Something Earthy.” She said having been searching for names since they found out they were having a girl. “Rose?”
                Before Eve could respond, Adam did “No.” He said without looking up at them continuing to write with his headphones on and his guitar in his hand. Dani wrinkled her nose at him slightly before turning to the next page.
                Eve picked up the computer again opening it, “I’m going to order a few things. We can have them shipped over night so we can start work on the nursery by the end of the week.” She said putting a few more things in the cart.
                “Use Jeremy’s address.” Adam said leaning back in his chair strumming his instrument. Eve nodded and agreed that they couldn’t be too careful.
                “Kaylee is quite lovely isn’t she.” Eve said having noticed how sweet and incredibly brilliant Jeremy’s bride to be was. “Do you like her?”
                Dani gave a nod, “She’s very nice. And most importantly she really loves Jeremy.” She smiled, “I’m just glad he found someone to share his life with. It wasn’t fair that he was on his own because of . . .” Her words trailed off not really wanting to talk about it. “I’m just happy for him.” Dani started to say something else but the book slipped from her grasp as she whimpered and her hands covered her belly. Instantly both Eve and Adam stopped what they were doing going over to her.
                “What is it sweetheart? What’s wrong?” Eve asked as Adam kneeled down on the opposite side of her. She looked winded a moment before she whimpered again. Eve started to get up to call Jeremy but Dani caught her wrist and brought her hand to rest on her abdomen holding it there. After a moment she felt a hard kick against her hand surprising Eve. After a moment another hard kick came and Eve smiled not being able to suppress the laugh of amazement and excitement she felt. Adam felt a little relieved that’s all it was. “Oh she’s a strong one isn’t she.”
                “Yes, and she kicks like a world champion soccer player.” Dani said taking a deep breath and closing her eyes. The baby kicked again and Eve’s smile grew bigger as she closed her eyes gently caressing Dani’s belly. Adam reached up and gently stroked Dani’s hair. He hated that she was in pain and wished he could stop it, take it for her.
                “I’m okay.” Dani said after a moment knowing how much he worried for her. “Just being a wimp again.”
                “Hush.” Adam said having told her before not to say such things. A wimp? Honestly? After all that she had been through and endured? “Are you hungry?” He questioned. Dani nodded and he leaned down and kissed her before getting up and going into the kitchen to warm some blood for her. Eve was even more excited than before and couldn’t wait to meet the little one when she arrived.
Unwelcomed Visitors
                Kaylee and Jeremy came to the house to have dinner. They sat around the table telling stories, laughing together, and having a wonderful time. Dani, of course, wouldn’t stay off her feet and had gone back into the kitchen to get desert ready. A ring came to the doorbell and she went to answer it. When she passed through Eve had started to stand to answer it, but Dani waved for her to sit back down indicating that she’d get it and had left the dining room before anyone could protest or say anything. Adam and Eve looked at each as they rarely, if ever, received visitors.
                When Dani opened the door her smile disappeared and her eyes went wide. “Ava.” She breathed, her heart sinking.
                “Hello!” She stepped in and wrapped her arms around Dani hugging her tight, “It’s so good to see you, it’s been ages!” Still holding Dani’s hand she looked down at her belly, “Look at you! All grown . . . out. When’s it due?” She asked anxiously.
                “I’m . . I’m . . .” Dani said tripping over her words in shock that Ava was there considering what had happened last time. “Ava, you shouldn’t be here. Adam was so angry with you last time you were here.” She reminded her.
                “I’m family too, Dani. How could I not come and see you when I’m going to be an Auntie soon!” She said resting her hand on Dani’s belly.
                “Oh my God, Ava . . .he’s going to kill you . . .” She started to say in a panic.
                “Only if you’re fucking lucky.” Both turned to see Adam standing in the door way his eyes glowing. Eve stood beside him, her eyes wide never having expected to see Ava again so soon. She put her hand on Adam’s shoulder not wanting him to attack her and rip her throat out before she walked over to her and Dani.
                “Eve!” Ava said cheerfully almost as if she wasn’t aware of the seething Adam just a few feet away. She wrapped her arms around Eve hugging her tight, and Eve reluctantly gave her a small and quick hug back. “You’re so beautiful Eve.” She said in astonishment. “It seems like this has been good for everyone hasn’t it.” She indicated Dani’s belly.
                “Ava . . .” Eve said wanting her question answered.
                “I was just telling Dani that as soon as I found out, I had to come and visit. I mean, we have a relative on the way and I was just dying to see you all again!” She said excitedly. Dani felt sick to her stomach as her eyes glanced towards the dining room where Jeremy and Kaylee were. Adam had told her that Ava had very little restraint when it came to zombies, and she was properly afraid they were in danger.
                “So? Where should I put my things, or should I just drop them anywhere?” Ava said motioning towards her bag.
                “Get the fuck out of this house!” Adam roared heading towards her, but Eve quickly stepped between them as her hands rested on Adam’s chest holding him back and trying to keep him from ripping her wayward sister apart. “I told you never to come back here! What the FUCK about that wasn’t clear!”
                “Actually what you said is ‘don’t come back to this city ever again’ when you were in Detroit. This isn’t Detroit so . . .” She said shrugging her shoulders still smiling like a Cheshire cat.
                “Ava, this isn’t a good time for a ‘visit’ of any sort.” Eve seriously.
                Ava whined slightly, “Oh but Eve, I want to help! I’m going to be an Auntie, can’t I be excited too?” She said with a pout. Adam was starting to growl as his fangs became sharper as did his claws. “I’m sure there are a lot of things that need to be done that I can help out with!” Ava’s smile dimmed a little as she rested her hand over her stomach. She stuck her lip out slightly looking at Eve and Dani. It was apparent she was hungry from traveling wherever she had come from. Dani shivered slightly afraid of what would happen if she was hungry and Jeremy and Kaylee were here.
                “I can get something.” Dani said quickly. Before Eve or Adam could respond she flew almost racing for the kitchen.
                Adam’s could feel the fear and see the terror she was causing in Dani and it was making him angrier by the moment. “God DAMN you, why aren’t you dead yet!” He roared.
                “Ava, you can’t stay here.” Eve said seriously. “You have to realize that this is a difficult and vulnerable time now, and we don’t really have any blood we can spare.” She explained. “You can have some supper but then you need to go.”
                “Eve.” Ava whined with her pout.
                “No, Ava.” Eve’s voice was stern and final. Not to mention if she did try to stay, Adam was going to rip her to shreds.
                “But that’s not fair. I’m your sister Eve, and this is my family too.” She argued. Eve sighed walking around her and closing the door before taking her arm to lead her to the kitchen where Dani had gone to fix her some blood. Adam was less than happy she wasn’t thrown out of his house face first into a wall. But neither Eve nor Dani were going to turn her away hungry. He followed after them not willing to let her out of his site for a second. When they started to walk through the dining room, Ava paused a moment. “Hello.” She said seeing the two human guests.
                “Uh, hi.” Kaylee said seeing the way the young woman’s eyes moved over Jeremy rather blatantly checking him out.
                “Who are you?” Ava said looking between them already rather intoxicated just by the smell of living humans, and their fresh hot blood. Eve’s hand clinched tighter to Ava’s arm letting her know that if she even thought about her old habits right now she was going to lose one of her limbs.
                “This is Jeremy and his fiancé, Kaylee. They’re friends of Dani’s.” Eve said turning starting for the kitchen again.
                “Oh!” She said turning towards them, “I’m Ava. Eve’s sister.” She said taking Jeremy’s hand and shaking it. Instantly Adam practically appeared from nowhere catching Ava’s hand and pushing her with a hard shove towards the kitchen. “Ow! Adam!” She said rubbing her wrist.
                Jeremy and Kaylee looked at each other as Eve silently apologized to them following after Adam and Ava into the kitchen. This was a complete nightmare, one they didn’t need right now.
                Adam sat Ava down rather hard on one of the barstools before stepping back again. Dani served her a large glass of blood and Ava grinned eagerly picking it up and drinking deeply. Eve wrapped her arm around Dani’s waist and kissed her cheek rubbing her back. “Go back to our guests darling, Adam and I will see to Ava.” She said kissing Dani nodded handing Eve the carafe she’d been holding in her hand to feed Ava before she turned heading back into the dining room. When Ava had drained the glass she put it down on the counter licking her lips eagerly. Eve reached out filling her glass again. “What is it you want, Ava. You didn’t come all the way out here for a ‘visit’ especially after you’ve been warned to stay away.”
                Ava picked up her glass and drank deeply once again. “Of course I had to come, Eve. I mean, how many times do we add new faces to our family? Dani was the first one in centuries, and now there’s another? Not just another, but the first vampire child born to us? How could I stay away?”
                Eve and Adam glanced at each other when she said that. Neither of them had been having dreams of Ava to indicate she’d been arriving, it was safe to assume that she wasn’t picking thoughts out of their heads like before. “How did you know about this? About Dani’s being pregnant?”
                “Are you kidding? Everyone knows. In LA that’s all the gang talks about. The ‘vampire child born of vampires’. Honestly, it does get boring after a while when it’s the only thing anyone wants to talk about.” Ava said draining the glass a second time before holding it out to Eve again. Eve just looked at her a moment before she filled it like before.
                Jeremy, Kaylee, and Dani went into the living room waiting for the others to return. Kaylee and Jeremy sat watching Dani pace nervously. “Dani, what’s going on?” Jeremy asked. “Who is that girl? She seems so different from Eve to be her sister.”
                “It’s complicated Jeremy.” Dani said shaking her head. “I only met her once when we were in Detroit. She came to me at the hospital and told me who she was so I invited her to stay with me at my apartment. Adam was absolutely furious and kicked her out the next night.”
                “Why would he do that if she’s family?” Kaylee asked. Dani didn’t answer this time and continued to pace. She felt like she should send Jeremy and Kaylee home to get them out of danger, but not knowing where Ava was staying she didn’t know if sending them away would be safer or more dangerous. Kaylee stood up and walked over carefully catching Dani’s hand still nervous about it touching her knowing the dangerous creature she was but she was trying to be supportive. “Try to relax.” She said walking her over to the couch sitting her down next to Jeremy before sitting on the other side of her. “Letting yourself get so upset isn’t good for you or the baby. She can feel your anxiety.” Dani nodded and took a deep breath before letting it out.
                Whenever she did that, not needing to breathe, it made the little one very active with the burst of oxygen and she would kick and stretch inside Dani’s body. The baby was exceedingly strong given she was a vampire too and when she kicked it felt like being punched from the inside and Dani gasped placing her hands over her abdomen whimpering slightly. “Dani? What’s wrong?” Jeremy asked worriedly.
                Kaylee carefully reached over putting her hand on Dani’s abdomen when the baby kicked again. Her eyes went wide feeling the power of it. “Oh wow, she’s strong.” She couldn’t imagine what that felt like.
                Jeremy moved closer, “Can I?” He asked Dani before taking any liberties. She nodded and he placed his hand next to Kaylee’s when the little one kicked again. Dani lay back against the couch taking another breath to calm her daughter down. Jeremy and Kaylee looked at each other never having felt anything like that before. Kaylee took Dani’s hand again holding it tight.
                “She’ll stop in a minute.” Dani said closing her eyes feeling another kick.
House Guests
                Eve and Adam called an end to the evening thinking it was better that Jeremy and Kaylee were away until things with Ava got cleared up. Eve marched Ava down into the basement room with her things and locked her in. It was one of the many conditions under which Ava could stay with them for a little while. They weren’t going to let her run around unsupervised as she had proved herself to be untrustworthy more than once. Ava pouted and protested the demands and conditions that were attached to her visiting but if she wanted to stay there and not be thrown out by the hair like last time, she had to agree and cooperate with them.
                Adam carried Dani up to their room before fixing her another glass of hot blood knowing it was easy for her to become famished. Dani sat in bed in her nightgown her legs crossed under her as Adam took off his shoes and shirt before getting into bed with her. Dani half smiled when he wrapped his arm around her and kissed her shoulder. “Adam, you really should be staying with Eve today. She’s your wife and you haven’t seen each other in a while.”
                Reaching up he gently slid his fingers through her hair before kissing her shoulder again, “Or, she could stay in here with us tonight.” He suggested. “Instead of the guest room across the hallway.” Dani’s eyes turned down nervously when he said that. She still wasn’t ready for that step quite yet and Adam wasn’t going to push her right now of all times.
                “I really, really think you should be with her today.” Dani looked at him, “She’s your wife.” She repeated yet again. Adam sighed looking at her clinching his jaw. He had hoped that when Eve came home to them she would be a little more willing for the three of them to be together. Instead he found that Dani was just as stubborn as ever about feeling like she wasn’t Eve’s equal. “I’ll be fine on my own today. I promise.” Dani reassured him. He just stared at her another moment before she took his hand, “Go. Please?” She asked. His look darkened slightly as his jaw clinched tighter and he shook his head in disbelief. But then he looked at Dani again realizing that if he stayed with her today she was going to worry and berate herself instead of sleeping like she needed to.
                “Fine.” He said reluctantly before kissing her and pulling the covers back. Dani got under them laying down on her pillows and he covered her up before cupping her face and kissing her tenderly stroking her cheek with his cool fingers. Looking into her eyes once more she smiled for him a little so he knew she would be alright. He kissed her once more before moving down and kissing her belly then turned off the light and left the room closing the door and going into the guest room across the way.
                Dani sighed as her smile fled and she closed her eyes clutching her pillow tight. Suddenly there was so much to be worried for now. Ava tended to be more of a liability then a blessing and no one was happy that she was there.
Coupling
                Adam and Eve lay in each other’s arms having made love several times once they retired. Eve knew he was upset that Ava had shown up and could feel his anger coming off of him in waves. Reaching up she gently stroked his face looking into his eyes. “Darling, we’ll watch her closely. As long as she’s here she won’t be unsupervised.” She reassured him.
                He sighed and reached up resting his hand over Eve’s holding it tight leaning his face into her touch a bit more. “Eve, there are far more important things that need our attention right now without having to baby sit her. She’s doing this for attention and she’ll become even more out of control if she isn’t at the center of it.” Adam’s eyes moved towards the door hearing Dani turn over in her room across the way. When she settled in again his eyes turned back to Eve.
                Eve smiled knowing that he wanted desperately to watch over Dani at the same time and didn’t mind it. She was listening to make certain everything was alright as well. “Is it time to feed her yet?” She questioned.
                “Not for a few more hours.” He said softly holding Eve’s hand a little tighter. In the middle of the day Dani would need to eat again, otherwise by nightfall she would be extremely weak. Far weaker than normal vampires would be when they simply slept through the day. “I’m sorry.” He apologized that she didn’t have his undivided attention feeling extremely guilty about it.
                “It’s alright darling. I worry for her too.” She said kissing his forehead settling in a little closer to him as he wrapped his arm around her pulling the lengths of their bodies against one another. “I spoke with Kaylee and Jeremy tonight and they said they’ll pick up the things that arrived at the store for us for the nursery tomorrow.” Adam gave a nod resting his forehead to Eve’s as they closed their eyes holding close. He sighed in frustration not having this many things with so many people going on at once. He’d be perfectly happy if it was simply him, Eve and Dani and the rest of the world could go hang itself.
                “What was decided on finally.” He said in a low voice as the theme for the nursery was a main topic of discussion for the past few weeks.
                “It’s a surprise darling.” Eve said with a grin. “I think you’ll like it. I think you both will.”
                He opened one eye looking at her, “How so?” He questioned wondering why Dani didn’t seem to be aware of it.
                “Kaylee and I have sort of taken over the project ourselves. Dani has been reluctant to participate in it for some reason. But that’s alright, she’s going through a lot right now, poor dear. So Kaylee and I are going to do it as a gift. Jeremy will help us of course.” She said with a smile kissing his lips gently. Adam had noticed Dani shying away from the topic too. The only thing she had been focused on is finding a name for the baby, but beyond that she seemed very resistant to any other planning for the baby’s arrival.
                “Do you think she’s changed her mind?” Adam asked looking at Eve. “About the baby?”
                “No darling.” Eve said reaching up stroking his hair back from his eyes. “I think she’s scared. We’ve both felt how hard the child kicks from the outside, I can’t imagine what it feels like inside. I’m sure it would be terrifying for anyone.”
                Adam sighed, “Ava being here is one straw to many.”
                “She won’t be staying long my love. The baby is coming soon, and we’ve more important things to concern ourselves with then what she’s doing.” Eve said softly. Adam closed his eyes resting his forehead to Eve’s once again, just having her close in his arms again giving him strength and a calm he wouldn’t have otherwise.
