Investigation
                At sunset, Eve and Adam found that Dani wasn’t quite ready to get up yet. Eve sat beside her gently stroking her hair while Adam went down and prepared her breakfast. Regardless of whether or not she was getting up, she still had to eat. After they fed her, they tucked her back in and left quietly to let her rest. Usually, she didn’t breathe when she slept since it wasn’t necessary, but once she was further along in the pregnancy, she would take short quick breaths like she was running a marathon trying to breathe. Almost like a panting motion.
                Eve retrieved Ava from the basement while Adam poured their breakfast. They sat in the living room together as they had a great deal of questions for Ava that they were hard pressed to find answers for. Ava was easily bored and she soon got tired of being asked questions she didn’t have answers to. “Oh, Eve. Can’t we talk about something else for a while? Maybe go out and do something.”
                “No! Ava this is important. You said you wanted to help, and this is your part in it.” Ava sighed crossing her arms throwing herself against the back of the sofa like a pouting child. “Now focus, try to think. Where did the rumors about Dani start? Did they start in LA or elsewhere?”
                “I don’t know!” Ava said in frustration. “It started small and then everyone started to talk about it. I didn’t look around trying to find out who knew first.”
                “Did they know who she was? Did anyone mention Dani by name or was it just a nameless story floating around?” Eve asked again. “How did you know that it was her and why did you come to us now of all times?”
                “Eve.” Ava groaned rubbing her head feeling like they were trying to kill her in the slowest way imaginable. Eve leaned back in her seat a moment to collect her thoughts. “Where is Dani? Why isn’t she here?”
                “She’s resting.” Eve replied instantly. “She needs her rest and you need to concentrate.”
                “No!” She said slamming her hands on the table making a loud noise. “No one said it was her, or Adam or that you guys were here! Like I said, we’re family. Regardless of where you are I can find you. Like I always have.” She smiled.
                Eve sighed. Adam was quiet sitting off to the side never taking his eyes off of Ava. She had been watched closely otherwise all hell was going to break loose and that’s the last thing they needed.
                Ava leaned back looking that the two. “Are you still mad over that thing that happened in Detroit?” Adam clinched his jaw hardly finding her selective memory amusing. “Look you guys, when I said everyone was talking about it I just meant my friends. That’s all. I don’t know how they knew or if they told anyone else. She’s safe, no one is going to come for her! Okay! Can we just . . . move on to something more interesting now?”
                Adam was quickly losing patience with her attitude and Eve could feel it. Dani moved upstairs and Adam’s eyes shifted towards the bedroom. Eve saw it as an opportunity to break the growing tension, “Go ahead and go check on Dani sweetheart.” She said patting his hand gently. Adam’s eyes returned to Ava as he glared at her with an intense hatred. Eve leaned a little closer, “Go on darling.” She said gently. There was a moment longer before he stood and left Eve alone with Ava going to see if Dani was alright.
                As soon as he left, Eve stood walking over to Ava and grabbed her by the shoulder pulling her to her feet, “This isn’t the time for your childish nonsense Ava. Either grow the fuck up and understand the seriousness of this situation, or leave us and don’t ever return.” She roughly shoved her back down to the sofa, “For once think of something and someone besides yourself.”
                Ava sighed looking away realizing that no matter what, she wasn’t going to be the center of attention this time.
Affection
                Adam sat next to Dani holding her hand. She was sleeping hard, and taking short rapid breaths that resembled panting. It seemed worse to grow worse by the day. Slipping his arms beneath her, he crawled onto the bed and sat back leaning against the headboard holding her in his lap. His hand carefully lay her head to his chest and he kissed her resting his cheek against her head holding even tighter. He hated not being able to do more. The one good thing was that it wouldn’t have to last too much longer. Jeremy and Kaylee estimated the baby would be born any time now, a few weeks tops. Everyone said what a beautiful miracle this was, and he had gotten used to the idea over the past few months and perhaps even a little bit excited about it too. But if he had to choose between them, he would choose Dani without hesitation every single time.
                She took a deep breath and opened her eyes stretching her back a little. Looking up and seeing who was holding her, she smiled sleepily and put her arms around his neck kissing his cheek and resting her head to his shoulder closing her eyes again.
                “Dani,” He whispered gently, “How are you feeling darling?”
                “Just a little tired.” She said softly.
                He closed his eyes his chin resting to her head his arms holding her even tighter still. “Let me take you, Dani. Please.” He whispered. It had been several weeks since they’d been sexual. He slept with her in bed, he held her through the night, their bodies melded together against one another. But that was a far as their intimacy went. She’d been wearing nightgowns to bed for a while now instead of stripping down to nothing to rest as they usually did. It didn’t take a scholar or a genius to know why the sudden change. She was embarrassed and ashamed of how she looked. About the way her body had changed, how big her belly had become. It was frustrating to Adam who had been curious about the changes and how she seemed even more beautiful with his child growing within her womb. He kissed her head again and whispered, “Please?”
                “It would be weird Adam. Weird and awkward and . . . . just . . .” She sighed before looking up at him, “It will be better to wait until after the baby comes. It won’t be much longer.”
                “Dani,” He gently touched her chin lifting it towards his eyes as he looked into them seriously. “It will ease your pain, it will make you feel better. You’ve already learned that only half of your nutrition is blood and not enough on it’s own to keep you healthy.”
                “But we’ve slept together, every night without fail Adam. You’ve given me affection, and held me tight when I needed it, over and over again. I’m fine Adam, really. You do give me what I need, and more.” She reassured him.
                “But there’s more. So much more if you’d just let me. You know that.” She honestly couldn’t think straight right now. She was more tired than ever and was always starving. For more things than just blood but she had been ignoring those cravings and urges the best she could. Adam studied her for a moment before kissing her lips gently, then a little more tenderness, then a bit deeper, passionately. Eagerly, she returned every single touch and kiss he gave her. His hands slowly moved over her back caressing her.
                After another moment he lifted her from his lap and lay her down across the bed before lying beside her, his hand gently resting on her belly as he found her lips and anxiously devoured her sweet taste once more. When his hand slid under her nightgown and caressed her cold bare thigh moving higher still, she jumped. Her eyes going wide. “I don’t . . . Adam I don’t know how it’ll work. I mean . . . Look at me. I’m a beached whale.” He just gave her a disapproving look that she had said something disparaging about herself when he had warned her not to do that.
                “Do you trust me?” He asked directly.
                “You know I do.” She responded nervously.
                “Then trust me now. Trust me knowing that would never do anything to harm you or our child.” She gave a nervous nod and he leaned down and kissed her soft lips. She’d been afraid of herself more than anything else. Some days her behavior was extremely erratic and unpredictable. Perhaps a pregnant woman’s hormones and moods were difficult, but being far stronger then a human female, it was extremely dangerous when her moods changed so violently. Adam, of course, stayed close and watched her intently whenever others were around. Making sure she wasn’t going to hurt anyone or herself. Where this might have been a comfort to others, it caused her heart to sink with the fear that she could hurt him. It resulted in her pushing him away and keeping him at arm’s length even when they were in bed together. Then when Eve came home to them, she used that as an excuse for her distancing herself further. Neither Eve nor Adam thought there was anything wrong with the three of them sharing a bed together but Dani was completely dead set against it. She barely tolerated Adam sleeping with her instead of with his actual wife when Eve was home with them. The only reason she wasn’t staunchly stubborn this time about their sleeping arrangements was because she was terrified, and felt like she was starving constantly. Not just for blood but for physical contact of any sort.
                He started to kiss her again but she took a sharp breath and her hands shot up bracing against his chest to stop him and he could feel her entire body tremble. Adam frowned seeing the flash of fear in her eyes. He hated it. She never looked at him with fear like that unless something was really wrong. Even after he’d told her the truth about what he was when they first met when she was still human, she wasn’t afraid of him. “Oh darling.” He whispered reaching for her hands bringing them to his lips and gently kissed her fingers, knuckles and palms before holding it tight against his chest.
                Tears started to well in her eyes and her lip started to quiver causing her to bite it to get it to stop. “I’m scared Adam.” She breathed so softly that a zombie certainly wouldn’t have been able to hear it much less make out what she said. “I’m so scared.” Her voice broke and tears escaped her eyes sliding down her cheeks.
                He kissed her palms again before sitting up, and sweeping her up into his lap again holding her tight as she buried her face in his chest. “You don’t have to be afraid. You have me, and Eve, and Jeremy and we aren’t going to let anything harm you.” He stroked her hair gently kissing her head holding her tight against him once again.
                Embarrassed she reached up and wiped her tears away. She had been strong and kept herself from breaking down on a daily basis but the closer it came to being time for the baby to come, the harder it was to keep up her brave face. “I’m just being stupid.” She said as he felt her arms clamp down a bit tighter around him. “It’s not as though I didn’t have prenatal training like every other person in the medical profession, it’s not like I’m completely ignorant to what’s going on and what was going to happen.” She said taking a breath.
                He half smiled knowing she was trying to convince herself of that. None of them knew what was coming and it wasn’t as though she could contact a specialist or look up details online or in medical journals like she did on a regular basis to keep current. “Dani,” He began before leaning back and touching her chin to raise her face to look at him. “Try to relax sweetheart. We’re going to take care of you.” His eyes looked down towards her abdomen feeling a slight twinge of fear himself, “Both of you.”
                She was quiet as her eyes looked away and she closed them tight after a moment as though trying to push some thoughts aside instead of drowning in them. It wasn’t that he wasn’t aware of what it was making her most nervous right now. It was what had them all on edge. “Unless she wants me to stake her in the middle of the yard so she has a clear view of the sun when it comes up, she isn’t going to do anything foolish to put you in harm’s way.”
                “What about Jeremy and Kaylee?” She whispered her voice shuddering at the thought.
                “That’s part of the reasons she’s still here instead of being tossed out on her ass into traffic the first moment she appeared on our door step. As long as she’s here and locked up, she won’t be a threat to them.” Of course, Adam didn’t particularly care if they fought amongst themselves and killed each other as long as it was away from the house. However, the worry and stress it would put on Dani that her friends would be in danger would make matters worse than they already were.
                “What if she’s . . .” Dani stopped wondering if she should even say it or stay silent. Adam furrowed his brow slightly looking at her waiting for her to finish her thought. She took a breath closing her eyes, “What if Ava isn’t the only thing we have to worry about?” Adam cocked his head slightly looking at her not entirely sure what she meant by that, his fingertips gently stroking the softness of her neck. “I’ve never seen them, but you and Eve said there are others like us. Like . . .Marlowe. Ava said other people knew about me. What if they come after us?”
                “We aren’t the most social creatures on this God forsaken Earth, Dani. We don’t actively seek each other out on purpose.” He said smoothing her hair back from her face over her shoulder.
                She took a breath, “And vampires can’t have children either.” She pointed out. Closing her eyes she reached up covering her face trying hard not to start crying all over again. “Adam, I keep messing up. Even before you and Eve made me like you. I kept doing stuff that drew attention to me, to us. We were putting our lives back together when we came here after the last time I was imprisoned, and now . . . . here I’ve messed up again. All I ever do is attract trouble.”
                Adam sighed looking into her eyes cupping her cheek for a moment. “Shit happens, Dani.” He said plainly not sugar coating a single syllable. “And I fail to see how this time is anything like the others. I’m rather certain that I bare half of the responsibility this time.” His hand rested over the large swell of her abdomen stroking it gently beneath his thumb.
                “You asked me when we were in Tangiers to look for some kind of birth control, and rather than be serious about it, I just . . . sort of blew it off.” She admitted. Adam took her hand and laced his fingers with hers holding it tight as they spoke.
                “You seem to have a terribly short memory darling. Otherwise you will recall that there was a cascade of other concerns on your mind at the time. You were being blackmailed, we were all being watched, and living in a damn fishbowl tends to take center ring to everything else that might be happening at the time.” He reminded her. She winced slightly her eyes turning down again as the memory of Sean crossed her mind. All the things he said that were contrary to his actions. “None of that matters anymore. Mistakes were made, lessons were learned, and that was all dealt with and put in the past. There’s no need to dwell on them any longer.”
                Dani looked up at him as if to disagree but he arched his brow clinching his jaw slightly causing her to quiet. He studied her for a moment, stroking her cheek with his thumb kissing her forehead before looking into her eyes.
                “I want to see you.” He said gently. Dani’s brow furrowed not understanding what he meant when he was sitting here looking straight at her. He could see her quite clearly. He smirked slightly before kissing her lips tenderly. She closed her eyes returning his kiss savoring the deep affection he lavished on her. “You’ve been hiding from me for months, Dani.” He said resting his forehead against hers. His fingertips moved to the collar of her cotton with satin trim nightgown. “I want to see you.” Her entire body trembled as her eyes went wide. When she started to pull away, his large strong hand braced against her back not allowing her to retreat. “Sweetheart.” He said in a stern tone.
                “It’s not a pretty sight Adam.” She said softly.
                “How would you know? You can’t see yourself in a mirror. And I have yet to see you take a single nude picture of yourself.” He said seriously.
                “I can look down and not see my own feet. That’s a pretty good indicator right there.”
                “Dani.” He said his voice a bit more stern then before. He hated that she viewed herself as less then attractive for any reason. “Whether you believe me or not, you are beautiful.” He rested his free hand on her abdomen as his other hand remained on her back. “This is beautiful, and I want to see.” She turned her eyes away not responding. Adam dipped his head slightly to find her gaze once again, “Haven’t I the right?” Dani wrinkled her nose slightly when he said that looking at him. If he really wanted it, whatever he asked, she would give it to him. Asking that question was beyond silliness. Of course he had the right. “Come on.” He said helping her up off the bed knowing that he’d officially won the argument.
Blood Relations
                Downstairs Eve had gotten a little more out of Ava but it wasn’t much help. Eve sighed in frustration rubbing her forehead trying to think. Ava’s eyes were turned upwards quite obviously eves dropping. Eve reached over and tugged her shirt, “Stop it.”
                “Are you really okay with this?” Ava said pointing upwards. “I mean, he is your husband after all.”
                “In time, he’ll be her husband too.” Eve said standing and going towards the kitchen. Ava looked at her wide eyed and hopped up following after her.
                “What? How’s that going to work? He can’t be married to you both.” Eve looked at Ava shushing her wanting her to keep her voice down. Not a word of this had been breathed to Dani even in passing conversation whereas Eve and Adam had discussed it at great length.
                “These are private matters Ava. You have a place to stay right now instead of sleeping in shadows of abandon buildings until you make your way back to wherever you’ve been living. If you want to keep this extreme and completely undeserved privilege I suggest you learn how to keep quiet.” Eve warned. Eve sighed rubbing her head, “Now that you’ve had a snack, we need to get back to the subject at hand. Dani and her baby. Tell me who is it that knows. In your circle of friends, who are they?”
                Ava groaned and rolled her eyes as it seemed that they were not going to get off of this topic until Eve and Adam got what they wanted out of her. “Not that many. Just some of my guy friends. We hang out and do things sometimes.” Eve just stared at her, wanting names. Ava huffed crossing her arms, “Well . . . there’s Joey, although his real name is Joanas. Then there’s Vadimis, Bronius, and . . . Mykola. Oh, and my other friends Laima and Adelyte.”
                “Interesting and rather uncommon names. And you all travel together do you?” Eve said thinking it strange for that many of their kind banded together to just ‘hang out’. “They’re the ones you’re staying with in LA presumably.”
                “Just a few times when they’re in town. But they are quite a tight knit group. Always finding something interesting for us to do. Try to keep things from getting boring.” Ava drank the last sip of blood before holding her glass out to Eve again. Eve just shook his head no, as she’d had quite enough already for one night. They had to keep any extra they had for Dani.
                “Then we’re taken back to the question of the evening. How did they know about Dani? How could they possibly know about her considering that unlike you, it is extremely rare we come across another of our own.” Eve said.
                Ava groaned again her head falling back in frustration.
Loving Affection
                To be honest, Adam had never bedded anyone who was so incredibly pregnant before. So things were a bit awkward at first. It took a little bit of time trial and error before they found a position that was comfortable for Dani. After convincing her to remove her gown he admired her finding her breathtakingly beautiful. It was impossible for him to grasp or understand how she could view herself as anything but gorgeous. He lay her back down on their bed and kissed and caressed every inch of her body.
                It felt like an eternity since they had been so deeply intimate, and it was heavenly. Now they lay completely unclothed with their bodies tightly melded together. He lay behind her, his arms wrapped around her just embracing her against him. After a moment he smoothed her hair back over her shoulder, and leaned close to her ear, “I love you, sweetheart.” He whispered causing a small smile to sweep Dani’s face as her arms clinched tighter to his. He kissed her jaw, her cheek, the sensitive soft spot just behind her ear causing her to quiver at the feel. Then he rested his cheek against hers just wanting to touch her. For her to be in his arms always. His hand moved down to rest over her large swollen abdomen, picturing what their daughter was going to look like. Would she have Dani’s features or his own? Would she be as special and unique as her mother was? A child was basically a blank slate. They would have to teach her everything from start to finish and he and Eve had centuries of things to teach her and tell her of. His mind had started to wonder about many of these things once Eve had come home.
                He smiled quietly and nuzzled his face into her fresh clean and beautiful hair. It tickled and made her giggle a little which made him smile a little. She hadn’t been resting hardly at all as of late, but this time she was incredibly relaxed. It seemed like everything was geared for the baby’s needs, but mommy had needs of her own that desperately needed to be met . . . as did daddy. Just as much if not more so.
                 Adam kissed her bare shoulder again hugging her closer still.
                “Oh my sweet I’ve missed you.” He whispered, unable to get close enough. His hips against her backside, she giggled a little feeling his hard member pressed against her and was ready to go yet again. She could feel him hesitating or pulling back as he made love to her. But he was still a masterful, anxious, and powerful lover. That intense feeling and connection they shared, it was so incredibly deep and intimate.
                She yawned a little closing her eyes, “Hold me tight Adam,” She whispered, “Please don’t let me go.”
                “Never my darling.” He whispered back holding her tight. “You’re mine, forever.” He whispered, his cool breath on her skin causing her to shutter in growing excitement. Reaching up he touched her chin moving her face back towards him so he could kiss her lips. Her taste was sweeter then strawberries. His hand moved from her chin down to her bare breasts and began to massage them. He was much gentler this time because her breasts had become engorged and swollen like most pregnant women’s did. To Adam it was an unexpected treat, and to be honest it was hard to keep his hands off of them. And her belly, her belly both fascinated and aroused him.
                When the kiss broke, he got up from where he’d been lying behind and carefully pulled her to lay on her back. He wouldn’t force her too if it hurt but it didn’t seem to bother her so he could continue and began to lavish her with kisses. Making his way down her neck, pausing at her breasts to gently suckle and caress them. Then he continued further down her body. Down her soft side to her hip his hands moving lovingly over her body unwilling to miss or neglect even a single inch of her beautiful form. He paused for a moment when he came to her swollen belly. He kissed down to her belly button his hands coming to rest over it as well. He studied it for a moment, gently caressing her with his thumbs as he imagined his child growing inside of her. Dani’s eyes were tight closed stilling feeling a bit embarrassed and uneasy about his seeing her like this.
                Adam closed his eyes resting his face against her a moment before kissing and caressing her again. She was beautiful, despite what she thought or imagined about herself. He gently squeezed her knees in his large strong hands parting her legs as he started to trail kisses and caresses up her inner thighs. His cool fingertips moving skillfully over her skin causing her to quiver down to her toes.
                Then he carefully helped her roll back onto her side, positioning her in the way they found she was most comfortable. He gently kissed his way up her hip and soft side. With one slow and careful movement he slid easily into her quivering womanhood. Dani’s eyes rolled back at the sensation. Her hand clutched at her pillow as her back arched and bowed involuntarily with each of his movements even though she couldn’t move much in this position. He began to steadily move deep inside her careful not to put weight on her. Reaching down he wrapped his hand around her knee parting her thighs slightly so he could move a bit deeper still.
                It didn’t take long for them to gasp and shutter at the powerful release they shared. He held still a moment before he leaned down sliding his hand into her hair and consuming her lips moving to lay down behind her once more Anxiously kissing her shoulder resting his hand on her side. He adored how she would glow after he made love to her. Dani’s eyes opened as she whispered “I love you, Adam. Always.” Adam smiled a little wrapping his strong arm around her holding her close.
Complicated
                When Eve and Adam retired for the evening together in the guest room across from the master where Dani slept, Eve told him what she had gotten out of Ava which wasn’t much. “It still doesn’t make sense. How do they know about her?” Adam said shaking his head. “Dani hasn’t told a soul about her being pregnant. She hardly uses the internet for fear that those sadistic bastards will come after us again. . . . and the only ones she sees or talks to these days are us, Jeremy, and Kaylee.”
                “I don’t know my love, but we’ll have to be cautious when we leave the house to not attract attention to ourselves.” Eve counseled.
                Adam sighed and leaned back, “I’m still not convinced that it wasn’t Ava who spread the story about and has been lying to us from the moment she darkened out doorway.” His eyes shifted towards Eve, “One of these days I’m going to take care of that problem for good.”
                “She keeps acting like this and I may be inclined to let you.” Eve admitted with a sigh. She’d protected Ava from Adam’s wrath many times over the centuries, but she was quickly losing even Eve’s favor. She and Adam were growing tired of Ava’s mere presence putting them in danger.
                “Who are these ‘friends’ of hers? Did she say?” He questioned.
                Eve gave a nod, “Strange names. She listed them off to me, umm. Joanas, Vadimis, Mykola, Adelytes . . . .” She was trying to remember the others when she saw Adam’s head jerk as he starred at her, eyes wide. “What is it?”
                “Eve . . .” He said standing up, his entire body tensed tight. “Those names are Lithuanian.”
                 "Oh fuck." Eve said starring at Adam.
