Dean was hunting. He had been gone since last night, leaving Abi when she went to sleep.She had had a cold the past few days and needed sleep. She had been severely sleep deprived because of her sickness, and called out of work, fearing she would spread whatever she had in her food service job.Dean would be back soon. Had her sickness in spurts. When she ate certain things or took the wrong medicine, or in the morning when she had been sleeping wrong, or so she thought.
That morning, Abi slept in a bit, getting up and finding herself sick again.She laid on the couch for a bit, fighting off the urge to throw up again and cursing whatever flu strain she had come in contact with.She vowed to use more anti bacterial now. This was just the words cold she had ever had.
She was curled on the couch under a fleece blanket and staring at the television.She wanted fruit pebbles, but she was out and nothing else sounded good.She hated milk, so it wasn't really in the house now-she had used it for cooking.
Abi stood, the bout of sickness keeping her in the urge to throw up was gone and she looked down at her light blue checked pajama pants. She had changed her whit shirt because she had gotten it dirty and was in the long sleeve light blue one that matched the pants.
Sighing, Abi moved to the kitchen, but the sickness hit her again. It was weird. She had never had this before, even being sick the past few days.Abi ran to the bathroom and emerged a little while later, feeling as though something kicked her.What was wrong with her.
Abi gave up on her food, and after brushing her teeth, lay down on the floor in the living room.Her hand went to her belly, were she had started wearing her navel ring again, she was just about to nod off when she felt something that shook her. A bump, against her hand. Abi frowned. What the hell was that? She though and looked at her belly, just as she looked at it-the bump happened again. That was when she knew she wasn't imagining it.Abi was breathless and at the same time she felt the bump, she noticed a physical bump on her belly. It was visible.Wh-th-''She was breathless and confused and stood moving to her room. There she lifted her shirt and turned from side to side. There was was a bump. Abi stared at her reflection. Was she having hallucinations?

It was morning, but later than Dean had hoped for. He had wanted to be back to Gabriella by the time she woke up, because he hated to leave her alone, especially while she was sick like she was, but he had to hunt. He'd put it off as long as possible. He wanted to have been back hours ago, but he had a hard time finding a good feed and it took him longer than expected.
He was finally on his way back though and he ran at his top speed through the forests until he reached the town. Then, he zipped through streets that were unoccupied and finally slowed as he came to her apartment complex. He made his way towards her apartment number and let himself in.
He looked in on the living room, expecting her to be there, but she wasn't. So, he inhaled the air and could tell she was in her room. "Gabriella, honey, I'm back," he called as he made his way through the little apartment and to her bedroom door.
He stopped in the doorway and looked in on her. It took him a moment to realize she was looking in the mirror and what she was looking at. When he looked at her stomach, he saw a bump there and watched it for a minute, his mind racing. His first thought went to pregnancy, but it couldn't be, could it?
He knew it could happen because he'd met a couple who had just gone through it a few years ago. Male vampire, female human. The guy had to turn her so that the girl would live through it all. The way he explained it all, it sounded horrible. He watched her stomach more and when he saw it jump slightly, it confirmed his suspicions.
"Shit," he cursed in a small growl as he looked at her. His eyes reflected fear and worry so he looked away.

What was wrong with her? Why did she have a bump? She hadn't eaten anything much lately. She had been too sick and unable to keep anything down for days. Her eyes were sunken in and everything else on her looked weary, but yet, there was a bump.Her cresant belly button ring was turned at an awkward angle because of the bump, and Abi's mind spun. Did she have a tumor, was there something wrong inside her? Was she dying? Was her stomach exploding?What the hell was going on?
Abi turned the the side several times, her mouth was dropped open wide.Just then, She heard Dean call to her, but she was still frozen. What was wrong? Usually, when Dean was near, Abi ran to him or something to that extend. But, she couldn't make herself move from in front of her mirror.Her hand flew to it tiny bump as soon as the thing jumped again. It was like...a kick?Oh-My-God.
Dean's growl pierced the silence and Abi whipped around. "Shit? What-what-wh-''She said quickly, and breathless. Abi's heart was pounding in her chest."Dean?''Abi said timidly, her eyes almost pained as she looked at him. She had never seen him react to anything like that before.
She couldn't be pre-pregnant? Could she? That wasn't possible. What would happen? What was going on?

Dean's mind raced. What was he going to do? What were they going to do? How had this happened? He thought she was still on birth control. He raced to think of his friend who had the same situation. He needed to call him right away.
Her voice made his thoughts slow and he looked back to Gabriella. He sighed and moved to the bed before sitting and patting the seat beside him. "I'm pretty positive you're pregnant and we need to talk about this," he told her in response to her question.
What was he going to tell her? He couldn't tell her she was going to die, could he? He didn't want her to die. Maybe she'd be willing to be a vampire like he was. Then, he could keep her and their baby. Then, he could have a family again. He wanted a family, with Gabriella. He loved her and wanted to spend eternity with her.

Abi stared at her boyfriend. What was wrong with her? She couldn't be. This couldn't be. Sure, the bump was oddly familiar, just like the kicking. She had only had her last pregnancy hit the kicking stage right before she lost the baby. But, never this soon. But, Dean was....Abi's thoughts were cut off when Dean answered her. Her eyes fallowed him to the bed and felt like she couldn't breath.
Her legs were carrying her, but she couldn't feel anything. She felt as thought she was going to faint. "Pre-pregnant?''She asked breathlessly, her eyes not leaving his face."Talk-But, you're a vampire. I'm a-a hu-what-""Abi shook her head, fear was in her eyes and coursed through her veins.
Visions of horror movies were the humans were getting ripped apart by monsters inside them.Abi felt her stomach lurch and she jumped up, running to the bathroom before she got sick.After brushing her teeth again, Abi slowly made her way back to the bed.She had marked her own Death again.Abi had ran out of birth control hadn't set up an appointment. She didn't think of setting an appointment because she wasn't going to sleep with anyone, and then Dean got back. Why hadn't she gone to the doctor?

Dean just nodded when Gabriella said something about the species difference. Did that mean she understood how bad this was, or did she just think that it wasn't possible? He watched her sit and thought for a few minutes.
He was still contemplating on what to say when she jumped up and ran to the bathroom. He winced at the sound of her getting sick. She sounded horrible and he felt bad. It was his fault. He was the one who knocked her up, though it hadn't been his intention.
When she came back, he offered a weak smile and looked at her seriously. "Have you ever thought of being like me, of being a vampire? I mean.. is that something that you might want," he suddenly asked.
He didn't want to explain until he knew because he didn't want her to make a decision based on the fact that she just didn't want to die or lose him because there was no going back from this. He wanted her true feelings on the situation.

Abi felt her head spin. She was going to die? All because she didn't go back on birth control. What was she thinking?Why hadn't she done it. Now, she had marked herself for death, right? How could she live through something like this. And what about the thing that was inside her. What was it? A monster? Or a vampire?Was it something worse then a vampire?
Abi stared with her fearful, weary eyes up at Dean, her hands folded tightly and shaking in her lap.Be like him? A vampire?What was he talking about?"What-what do you mean?I have....to be a vampire?''What kind of question was that. Sure, she had thought of being like him. She wanted to be with Dean. Fully be with Dean. Would that do it?But, what about the baby? Was it a baby? Her and Dean's baby?

Dean waited anxiously for her answer, pondering over what his next words would be for either response to his question. But, she didn't give him a yes or no. She just asked him what he meant and tried to get more information from him.
He shook his head. "No, you don't have to be. You don't have to be anything. This isn't about what you need to do or not do. This is about what you want to do," he told her, trying to hide the fear and hurt from his voice. Did she not want to be a vampire?
He had hoped that she would. He didn't want to lose her. He loved her too much. He couldn't handle losing someone else. He'd already lost so much. He was good again, in love, and happy. He didn't want to lose it all. He didn't want life without her.

Abi blinked at him. He was so solemn. Why?What? She just didn't get it. Okay, she was pregnant. What what was she going to be? He was wrong. This isn't about what she wanted to do. It was far past that. It was what was going to happened.No-'She shook her head quickly."What is going to happen to me.... or whatever.....''Her hands went to her little belly bulge."What....am I......pregnant with? I mean......''Her eyes looked at her exposed belly and she frowned.She wanted another baby. She wanted a baby. "I would love.......to have a family with you....to have your baby.......''She said softly, her eyes moving back up to her boyfriend.
She frowned slightly and bit her lip, her eyes full of questions."Are we-is it.....a vampire, or a human......or........something else? Is it......just a part of you...or..........is it mine too?''She asked,her eyes moving back to her belly.Her thoughts were all over the place.These were the only things coming from her lips.

Dean listened to Gabriella and kept trying to answer her questions, but she didn't give him enough time. He waited until she seemed to be done for at least the moment and put a finger to her lips. "Honey, calm down," he soothed to her and brushed her lips with his before he looked at her again.
"It's called a hybrid and it's a half human and half vampire. It's part of you too. It's just like having a child in the sense that it will have both of our genes. It's our child," he assured her.
He didn't want her to know what was going to happen to her. He didn't want to scare her and tell her all the gory details. She still hadn't answered his question about being a vampire and that made it worse. She didn't want it, he guessed. He felt a lump in his throat and looked away from her, to the ground.

Dean's lips brushing against hers, Abi felt slightly better. His words helped a bit and set a soft flame in her to burn.He loved her, right? He would help her, right?
Abi tried to swallow the lump in her throat and wanted to cry. What was going to happen. What, what was she going to have. Was she even going to give birth or was it just going to spontaneously burst out of stomach?But, Dean spoke and went on. His words didn't scare her. It helped . It made her feel better.Theirchild.It was their baby.At his words, Abi looked at him. Her expression softened."Our baby?''She said breathlessly.That was good right. But, what would he do?Would he stay and help her through it. Did he want the baby too?
"So.....what's different about this?Will the baby be stronger then me.....like......it wont be normal, will it?''She asked with a frown turning the corners of her lips.Then, her thoughts went back to the earlier question."What.....would things be like if I were a vampire?Would I turn before or after I had the baby?''She asked confused, but spoke again quickly."Do you...would you .....want me as a vampire?''She blinked, her thoughts moving to what would ''life' be like if she was immortal. Forever with Dean.

Dean nodded. "Our child."
He listened to all her questions and once again waited for her to finish her little rant before he said anything. He chuckled a little. "How about we do one question at a time from now on, okay. You need to relax, Gabriella," he told her firmly.
"Yes, the baby will be stronger than you are. It's going to make you weaker as well, but I know of a way that she won't make you completely weak. And I'm gonna take care of you. Everything will be fine. You just have to trust me on that," he said in response to her first question.
When she frowned, he did as well. He hated to see anything but a smile on the face of his beautiful human. In attempts to brush it away, like with all the others, he kissed her lips. He didn't just brush them this time though. He let it linger for a bit before pulling away, trying to convey some of his emotions about everything to her.
"You would change after the baby. And yes, I would love for you to be a vampire if that's what you want. I want to spend my life with you. There's no one else I would rather spend it with," he told her, a smile finally adorning his features once again.

Even through the fear and pain in her eyes, Abi beamed when Dean called it their child. When he agreed. She couldn't help but beam at him.Their child. She would have a baby with someone who loved her. And he did. Abi knew that Dean truly loved her. It was just something she could feel. She didn't understand why or how, but she knew he did.
Abi gave Dean a sheepish expression when he said something about giving him a question at a time. She frowned though."I'm having a-a hybrid. How can I relax?''She asked with a little breathless laugh at herself and the situation.Why should she relax?How?
But, Dean when on and Abi listened more.He went on to talk about the baby and she nodded, listening with a stone hard expression. Everything would be fine? Just trust him? Abi was worried, but there was just something in his words that helped her. It soothed her, just like he always had.He kissed her next, pulling her thoughts to iris in on him and she closed her eyes. He still wanted her after all this?
Abi opened her eyes when he spoke again and gave a nod when the silence set in.She looked into his eyes and saw the smile.A soon fallowed with a soft smile, moving to his lap."Life?You mean eternity?''she smirked and looking down, her hand back on her belly. She did love the feeling of being a mother, of being pregnant. And this was stronger then ever."So..I just try to stay strong, have my baby and change?''She asked softly, turning herself in his arms to look at him.She did trust him. How could she not?

Dean chuckled when she asked how she was supposed to calm down. She was too cute, even when she wasn't trying to be. It was the whole humanity thing. Humans were so much different than vampires, or maybe it was just the people in this time period. He wasn't sure, but he loved it when it came from Gabriella.
Instinctively, his arms wrapped around her when she made a place in his lap. He held her close and snuggled down with her, resting his chin on her shoulder lightly. He looked down to see her hand on her stomach and he placed his over hers. He was going to be a father, again.
He nodded. "Yes, and I'll keep you as strong as I can. I know of a couple who went through the same thing not long ago. I'll have them come over so that we can talk to them and you can ask the girl any questions that you have. Things will be okay, I promise you that," he told her before placing a soft kiss at her neck.

Abi felt Dean's cool arms wrap around her.She loved his cool touch, anything else would seem wrong now. But, how would that change when she was changed. Abi figured it had something to do with the pregnancy-the reason she would change.Was it because she was left at such a shitty state?This obviously wasn't going to be a normal pregnancy. If the baby was stronger then her, that would complicate things. If she was going to be weaker, that would make things more. Abi knew Dean probably wasn't telling her exactly everything step by step. He made it seem so easy. But, the thought of having Dean's baby was intoxicating.
Abi smiled down at their hands when Dean's covered hers.He was already a father once. He had already been through being a father, and he was an amazing man. She was luckier then she could imagine. But, there was a slight edge of change to Dean's voice.What was it?Just because he hadn't been a father in decades?
A chill went up her spine when he kissed her."So...''She started again, stretching back, her neck totally extended and exposed to him and she relaxed against him, closing her eyes."...are you....mad? That I'm making you a father again?And that the baby is with me''She asked softly, a smirk coming to her face as she opened her eyes to watch for a reaction.
"I mean......making me a vampire...now you cant get rid of me. That's like-worse then a ring for a guy who would want away from a girl..''She smirked more, lacing his fingers with hers that were on her bludge.She wanted to be together forever. The ring had been partly a joke. She wanted to marry Dean, in more then just the words. She wanted to be bonded to him in every way.Being truly with him in every single way-forever.
