The bruises on Gabriella's growing baby belly were now more apparent then ever, the entire thing was sore and discolored.Abi was sore, more pale then she had been before her pregnancy, but she was still fighting. Them starting her on the blood early sustained her though out the days. It made her stronger and made it possible for her to keep human food down every now and then.The bad thing with all the liquids were the frequent trips to the bathroom that still embarrassed Gabriella. In a house fulled with people that could hear everything over a mile, it made her self conscious.
Abi sat, bundled on the couch,. She couldn't bare to lay down anymore. She hated being hindered and not able to do much of anything at all. She hated being hindered from her boyfriend and not being able to be with him. She hated that he was so distant physically and mentally, thought-Abi wouldn't dare open her mouth again with the fight from the other day. She didn't think she could handle another sleepless night of laying her boyfriend's bed without him. The thought of him being so angry with her that he had to stay away just twisted at her and everything she was made of.No, it was best she stay quiet. When things were calmer, they would talk the same again. He wanted forever, right?That gave them time.
Jason and Christopher were off trying to get her more blood, Monica was going through old baby things, Abi wanted to read. It calmed her to try to sink into someone elses world. Even just for a few moments. Under her big comfy comforter, her free hand rested on her belly,rubbing it lightly. It was tender, but she couldn't stay away,while, her other hand held her book and flipped the pages like a pro. She was going to be okay. They had to be okay. She had more then one person counting on her.
Abi flipped the page and that's when it happened,a searing cracking pain shot through her with one kick for her unborn child. Something was broken, Abi could feel the area were the baby had kicked.With that kicked she let out a piercing, pained cry.Her book lay forgotten on the floor as she clutched her side. The same moment, a quick knock sounded at the door.

Eve was determined to get her father back. She wasnt going to let anyone or anything come in her way. There was just no chance. It wasn't his fault losing her mother messed him up so bad that he went to that disgusting human. It wasn't his fault he threw her out of the house after she made him realize how wrong his exsistance was for being with the fat human. And the baby was his?It was his baby? Did he want to to start a family over? Well, not he didn't have to because Eve was back for her father. It wasn't going to be easy. She just needed to get away her father from his mind lapse and things would be good.She would do anything to get that back to the way it was supposed to be. That human didn't belong and neither did her bastard.
Today was another day. She would make things different today. Eve approached her father's house, her nose hitting the smell of the fat human and she sighed. Before she could even knock on the door, she heard a yell froom the human and smiled. Maybe her father attacked the human after all. Maybe her job wouldnt be so difficult.Quickly, not wanting to miss anything she rapped on the door, and waited

Dean had been in a guest room of the house, thinking about the past week or so and the weeks to come. He knew, when he first learned of Gabriella's pregnancy, that things would be stressful, but he didn't think it would be this hard. He hadn't been prepared for anything like this and he was going crazy with worry. He didn't trust himself with his girlfriend's life. How could he? He was still a young vampire compared to others. He wasn't very controlled. He had had to run that time when she scraped her elbow just because he smelt a little of her blood. Now, he'd have to taste it and stop himself from draining her of the sweet liquid. He didn't know that he could do that.
He thought about asking Jason to do it, but would he? He probably would, but could Dean do that to him? Could he put the fate of someone else's life in his friend's hands? What would Gabriella think of it? Of course, she didn't really have to know. By that time, she'd be passed out and wouldn't know the difference if it was him, Jason, or even Monica who made her immortal. But, he wanted to do it. He wanted to be the one whose lips and teeth where at her heart in that moment that would determine her immortality or her death. He was just scared.
As he was thinking, he heard a snap in the back of his mind. Something that didn't register as anything until he heard Gabriella cry out. As soon as he heard her sweet voice twisted in pain, he was at her side. He moved her hand away from her side before she did more damage to herself or made the baby kick her harder. The scent of the person who knocked at the door hit him and he looked at Monica. "Tell her to leave," he asked as he motioned towards the door.
When she nodded to him and went to the door, he moved Gabriella to lay still on the couch and pulled her shirt up enough to reveal her stomach. He could see the horrible color of a new bruise forming on her skin from where she had been kicked and, as it seemed, broken a rib. He lightly moved his fingers over the spot trying to see where it was tender and how much damage had been done. He knew he couldn't take her to a hospital so he would have to figure it out on his own and treat her himself.

Abi's pain shot through her and she winced and moaned at the sharpness of it. It was more of a shock. Her baby had never kicked her that hard before.Her baby had never been that strong enough before as to break a rib on their mother. But, Abi could feel it. She knew the feeling of a broken rib. She had had them at least 3 times before. She knew what to do and how to treat them when she wasn't pregnant, when she didn't have the risk of any other rib getting broken.One back rib break could pierce a lung. Abi couldn't go to the hospital. It was far to dangerous and she couldn't be on the news as some weird medical experiment.
The next thing she knew, Dean was at her side. her eyes met him and she couldn't help but moan a sharp breath,holding her side until he pulled her shit up to look at the area that had been abused.Abi tried to breath normally, closing her eyes and swallowing the lump in her throat.The pain throbbed and she barely heard the sound of Dean's voice sounding to Monica. Who was at the door that Dean was telling them to go away?
Abi opened her eyes to look to the door when Monica opened it; Eve was back. Abi frowned and looked to Dean with almost panicked eyes. What if she wanted to explain?

Eve heard her father's voice on the inside of the house. She heard the moans of the nasty human behind the door and smelt the scent of another vampire. She must be trying to help out the nasty human and her bastard child.Eve frowned, but tried to look apologetic. Obviously he wasn't over it and ready to accept the words she had spoke the other day. She was confident that he would in due time though. She just needed to signal handedly break the humans horrible hold. Maybe he felt bad for her being pregnant and therefore felt obligated to stay with her. Yeah, that had to be it, but it wouldn't be that way for long. Eve would change that.
The vampire women opened the door and Eve smile sweetly, putting an amazing front on."Please-I need to apologize. I was out of line. I was upset. Please-''Her eyes went to her father."Please hear me out-give me another chance.Besides, it looks like you could use help. Let me make it you to you.''This wasn't the same girl from the other day. this girl was a perfect actress. Timid and not confident. A different girl all together.

Dean couldn't deal with his daughter and trying to help Gabriella right now, so he just told Evelyn that she could stay. Gabriella was his main concern right now. The rest wouldn't matter until she was taken care of. He had to get her situated and out of pain as much as he could before he dealt with anything else. He felt around a little more until he found the main source of the damage, the place the rib had broken at.
He had Monica get him some ice, a few things from the bathroom, and another cup of blood so that he could get his girlfriend all fixed up. As he waited for her to come back, and while he worked on fixing her up, he whispered to Gabriella soft and soothing words. He was telling her that everything would be alright and that she and the baby would be okay and to relax as much as possible.
By the time he had finished, he had an ace bandage wrapped around her middle, the best he could, to support her broken rib as well as a half brace so she couldn't bend and cause the rib to hurt more or move and puncture something, like a lung. He had also given her some pain medicine and had her drink it down with the blood in hopes that the baby would let her keep it down. He told her to finish the cup, just taking a guess that that was why she had been kicked.
He left her to lay on the couch as he sat on the ground next to her, holding her hand in his and resting against the couch with her.

Gabriella's head tilted when she heard Dean say that Eve could stay.Shewasnt sure that was a good thing or not. But, maybe things would get better. Maybe the girl was really sorry for what she did. It wasn't Abi cared that her feelings got hurt. She knew they were true, it was the fight that had occurred. It was that her words had bothered Dean so badly he left Gabriella for the night, something Abi never thought he would do. Especially since she was caring such a dangerous child.
Abi didn't have time to notice the vampire daughter though. She was too busy trying to relax and listen to everything and do everything her wonderful boyfriend wanted her to do. He was being so great, and caring. Abi couldn't help but smile at the thought that the first time her and Dean had been together, Abi had cracked a rib, now, she was having a cracked rib for another reason resulting in being with him. It was okay-that meant their baby was strong.
Gabriella took the medicine and was listening to Dean, taking his hand in hers and silently as she put her hand to his chin."Thank you.''She said sweetly , her other hand moving to her belly to rub lightly.She wanted a kiss, but the blood in her mouth probably would be the best idea for Dean's control. Sighing, Abi took the cup back up and took another deep drink from it, her lips leaving it, she looked to Dean's daughter,questioningly.

Eve eyed the human on the couch. GabriellaAs her father called her a few days ago. She wasn't anything special. Very plain for even a human and she obviously couldn't handle pregnancy very well. She obviously was weak and looking for attention.Eve smiled to the women vampire that answered the door and took a step into the house. Once again she looked around and back at her father. He was so attentive and caring to the human. Maybe he just wanted the baby and then wanted her to die. There was no way he could actually love her. There was nothing to love. There was no way he could want a life with her. He had to be keeping her happy to get the baby and have his family that he lost.Not like they would ever match up to the family he had lost so many years ago.
Eve sat without being asked and watched again. Things seemed to settle and she spoke."I really am sorry for everything the other day. I was just so very surprised, and maybe a little immature about seeing my father with another women. I lashed out and I was wrong. I hope you can forgive me.Both of you.''She said, looking to each of them with a perfect face of sincerity."And let me be a part of your lives.Help, and meet my new baby brother or sister, and get to know the father I lost so long ago.''She said, smiling sweetly and apologetically to her father.If this is what it took to snap him out of it, Eve would lie out her butt.,

Dean grinned at Gabriella when she thanked him and almost kissed her, but remembered that Evelyn was there. That made him look over to her and wait for her to say something. She had said she came to apologize, right? So, he waited for the apology, not exactly patient, but also very stressed from what had just happened to his girlfriend because of his child.
When Evelyn spoke, he gave her a soft smile. She seemed so sincere. She seemed to really mean what she said and that it had all just been a bad first impression and things would be different from now on. And, he believed her. Smart as he was, Dean had a soft spot for family and really would like to have his daughter as part of his life if he could.
He looked at Gabriella. It was going to be her part to forgive her and if she really believed Evelyn or not. She was the one that had been badmouthed and put down so much that day. The day that caused there huge fight and for him to walk out on her for the second time in the entirety of them knowing each other.

Abi stared at the girl. She seemed sincere. She seemed as if she were sorry, but it was hard for Abi to grasp that she would have such a change of hard. How did she really feel about Abi? Abi was a replacement for her mother. Abi's child is a replacement for her and her brother. She was the start of the life that Dean had missed out on. How did Eve feel about that. It wasn't like Abi could use the extra stress, but, she loved Dean, and anaylized the look the changed his face after Evelyn spoke.
Abi's eyes met Dean's when he looked at her. Her eyes narrowed in though and she gave him a short nod, her eyes moving back to his daughter."If you understand that this is a very delicate situation.That I am with your father and that wont change, and that he will be part of my this baby-if you cant help and not hinder. Then you are more then welcome and I accept your apology.I would like my child to know their family. And....for Dean to have his daughter back.''She said softly, trying to control her facial expression. She was still hurt and it was hard to face someone like her, but Dean deserved his.
Abi squeezed Dean's hand and looked at him, a soft smile growing on her lips as she readjusted herself in her position on the couch.

Eve finish her apology and watched her father's expression.He smiled and she smiled back. She was already getting in. That was better then she would have thought. Maybe getting him back wasn't going to be as hard and bad as she thought. Maybe his hold from the human and her bastard wasn't as strong as she initially thought it was.She smiled back brighter but let the expression stay as she watched him look to the pregnant human. What was that about? Did he need her permission. Obviously. Maybe she was wrong about the hold.
Eve eyed the two, trying to remain passive and as if waiting for the word.The human spoke and she smiled back at her."Of course.I want to help any way I can. I promise I will make myself useful. I know that these things are hard and I would love to be a part of your life.''She said sweetly and stood."So, with that said-do I get to finally hug the father I loves so long ago?'She said, smiling at Dean in an almost innocent way.

Dean grinned even broader at Gabriella when she agreed, but laid down a few general things that Evelyn should know. She was so amazing and he loved her even more for being able to be a big person and accept his daughter's apology. He brought her hand to his lips and kissed the back of it tenderly before placing it back on the couch with his still wrapped around it. He looked at her with his amber eyes shining brighter and mouthed a thank you and I love you to her.
He looked at Evelyn though. "She's right. This isn't going to change anything. I love Gabriella and she is a huge part of my life. I want you both to be in it though," he explained to her in a very serious tone. She had to know what she was agreeing to before everything got settled. He wasn't going to take anymore words against Gabriella like the ones she had voiced the other day.
He chuckled at Evelyn's question and gave a small nod. He kissed Gabriella's hand again before letting his move away from hers and he stood up. He took another step closer to his daughter, but stopped there. He would let her initiate the hug since it was her that brought it up. He hadn't really thought she'd want to be so loving after so long.

Dean wasn't watching his daughter. After she apologized, his eyes were on her.Why? Was he perfectly fine with Evelyn's apology and on to making sure she didn't mess it up?Abi was confused by it, but her boyfriend sweet smile made her heart melt. That was what she wanted. She wanted the love of her life, father of her baby to be happy. Maybe now his world would be complete. Complete with his children and her. Maybe she could own up to things once she was immortal.
When Dean looked back at Eve, Abi's eyes stayed on her for a moment and then moved to watch Eve's reaction. She couldn't help but keep the soft smile on her lips from Dean's words. She was glad he backed her up and didnt get mad at her boldness to his long lost daughter. The one they had started to fight over.
Abi smiled glancing down for a moment when she watched her boyfriend move to embrace the daughter her had lost so long ago. She was happy that he was happy. Maybe he would relax a bit and open up now, even with the baby still growing violently. Abi was entirely sure of the daughters arrival, but would go with it and give it a shot for the man she loved

Eve's expression only hardened for a moment when she watched Dean's reaction to the human's words. How dare she talk to her like that?How dare she act as if she had any say in anything that was going on. She needed to be gone, and soon. Eve would make sure it happened. Her father was in deep, but not too deep that he couldn't be pulled out by his daughter.The control she had over him was sick. It was twisted and wrong on so many levels. She would take care of it. It wouldn't last much longer. If her father wanted the baby, he would get the baby, and then the girl would die. Things would then be perfect.
Eve stood when her father did and smile moving to hug him when he paused. Her eyes landed almost wickedly on the human for a moment, and turned back to face her father."Im so glad I finally found you. And right in time for my new brother or sister.''She said, her expression happy as she moved from his arms and back to her seat. He smelled way too much like that human.

When Evelyn moved forward and hugged Dean, he embraced her back with a smile. He held it until she pulled away and spoke to him. He nodded and agreed with her. “It’s good to have you in my life again, Evelyn. Though, I wish I would have known you were alive years ago,” he told her in all honesty.
He moved away from her after she had pulled away and he gave her another grin before moving to the couch. He gave Gabriella a brighter grin, it was the smile that he would give no one but her, the best smile he had. He bent down and easily picked her up into his arms before he spun so that he was sitting on the couch with her delicately placed in his lap. His arms wrapped around her protectively and even territorially, as a way of showing Evelyn that he had been serious that this wouldn’t change his relationship with Gabriella.
He snuggled down with her in his arms and kissed her neck lightly before turning back to Evelyn. “Alright, so tell me about yourself. What have I missed all these years of your life? Did you ever marry, have children, did your aunts take good care of you and your brother,” he asked, only letting half of his questions voice themselves. He wanted to know so much, everything. But, he didn’t want to bombard her. He wanted her to come to him in her own terms. He wasn’t the type to pry really and anyone who really knew him would know that. He kept to his own business most of the time. But, he couldn’t help but to be curious.
