FEGG - G5 - Cece - Chapter 9

 The following two months I didn't feel good at all. And I knew exactly what it was.

 I was pregnant. With Goodwin's and my child. And I was so happy about it, I couldn't wait to tell Goodwin, but I hadn't seen him for a long time now. 

We had just seen eatchother a few times after that special night...

 Then finally after four months, Goodwin came walking up my stairs.

"Where have you been?" I asked. "I almost thought something had happened to you! You were gone for MONTHS!"

 "I'm sorry, I should have told you I was away on a long vacation with my work..." he said but he didn't look me in the eyes.

"Let's go inside, have something happened since I left?"

 "Well..." I said, starting to getting nervous. "I have some big news."

 "You have?" he sounded surprised. Hadn't he seen my belly? It was bigger than before. That's for sure.

"I'm pregnant!" I said and I couldn't hide my excitement.

Goodwin's eyes wided. "You are? Are you serious?"

 "Yes... Aren't you happy..?"

 "Of course I am happy, I'm going to be a father... But..."

 He put his hand on my cheek. "But?" I asked and felt my cheeks getting hotter.

 "But nothing.." then he leaned forward and pressed his lips agains my.

It was about three to four months since the last time he kissed me...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Later that night we were sitting outside at the table, eating our last meal before bed.

I ate an ice cream, and Goodwin... I don't know what he are... or maybe you should call it drank...

 "What's that?" I asked and stared at the red thing he held in his hand.

 "It's about that 'but'." he said.

 "But?" I frowned." Why do you have to be so mysterious?"

He laughed. 

He put the red little box on the table.

 "Promise me you won't freak out!"

 I stared at him. "I... I'm not sure I can do that.."

 "Well then, anyway... You see. I'm a vampire. I've always been. Since the first day we met. And even before that. That's why I'm pale, I'm not albino. And I drink blood, that's what's in that little box. And I don't like the sun because it gives me the fever. And if I stay in sunlight for too long, I'm starting to disappear. I know it sounds weird, but it's true, and no, I won't show you that. But I'm still not a creep and I don't drink blood from humans. I only drink it from these practical tiny boxes who has enough blood for me. That's everything I think."

 The first few minutes I just sat there and stared at him. I felt dizzy. Was I dreaming? Or was he maybe lying..? Maybe he was a creep. Maybe I soon had a baby together with a serial killer or something like that...

Anyway, I didn't say something, after those few minutes. I just rose up and walked away to my bed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I had been lying in bed reading one of my books about pregnancy when Goodwin came and lay down next to me.

I took a deap breath. "Was it true? Everything you said?"

 "Of course it was, I would never lie to you."

 "Does that mean I'm carrying a vampire child?" I was terrified by the thought. What if the baby sucked my blood from the inside?

 "It can be... It's 50 percent chance to get a vampire baby and 50 percent chance to get a human baby..."

 "But don't you worry, dear. The baby won't drink your blood, as long as you're eating food."

 "I was just thinking about that..." I said. "You aren't like a mind reading vampire from Twilight, eh? I've seen those movies, and that would just be even more creepy if you could read minds..."

I got flashbacks from when I sat at that resturant, crying over that he had left me. Afterwards, that just felt awkward...

 "I promise I'm not." he answered and grinned. "But I'm going out for a bit. I'll be back before you fall asleep."

I nodded and turned around in the bed. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight sweetie, love you."

"I love you too, Goodwin."
