So, Emmett and I were going to have a family. I was happy, for the time being. I looked down at my stomache, which had suddenly gotten bigger, at least three inches. I yawned. Emmett looked at me with concern.
"Tired?" He asked.
"Yeah, It's been a long day." I yawned again.
"Okay." He picked me up, bridal style. I smiled, and rested my head on his shoulder. He smiled back at me, and he laid me down on the couch. I sighed, and drifted off to sleep.
~~~
"Emm-Emmett? Where are you?!" I screamed, into the dark. Suddenly, A light was flicked on. I was sitting on a bed, in a bedroom. Emmett was next to me, smiling maliciously. I closed my eyes, relieved. He put an arm around me, and kissed my cheek lightly. I smiled, and opened my eyes drousily. Emmett was no longer on the bed, but by the door, standing with his arms crossed.
"Sallina. It's time to resurrect Deireia." he said firmly.
"N-No!" I whimpered.
He lifted a cell phone to his ear.
"Hey, Angel." He looked my, smiling grimly.
"No! Emmett!" I shouted, trying to knock the phone out of his hand. But, It was too late. Emmett's uncle, Angel, The Grim Reaper, was already in the room.
"No!" I begged.
Deireia stood in front of me, a ring around her neck, her long hair was ruffled, and her mouth had a stream of blood hanging from her lips. She looked exactly of how she did when I killed her.
"Deireia!!" I screeched her name. "Don't hurt me!"
~~~
I woke up screaming. Emmett rushed into the room, panicked.
"Sallina, Are you okay?!"
"Don't call! Don't- Don't bring her back!" I cried.
"Sallina..." He sat next to me, and brushed my hair lightly, calming me down.
"E-Emmett." I stuttered.
"It was just a nightmare, Sall." He smiled.
"So-So, you won't ressurect Deireia?" I whimpered.
"No, Do you honestly think I would do that to you?"
"No, I guess not." I smiled warmly.
I woke up, laying on Emmett's lap. I smiled warmly, And as soon as I was about to think about when Darilyn comes back, I slapped myself. Not hard, but hard enough to stop myself. I yawned and sat up, looking at Emmett's peaceful face. I sighed, relaxing a little. I clicked on the T.V., turning it down, so it didn't wake Emmett. Then, Suddenly, I felt nauseous. I gulped nervously. I really didn't want to throw up in Emmett's house...Or on him. I rushed to the bathroom, hurling in the toilet. I felt a lot better afterwards, but I was wondering. Why did I throw up in the first place? I walked calmly to Emmett and sat next to him. Maybe it was something I ate. I watched whatever was on the T.V.- I didn't really care, I was too lost in thought.
Wait...
I felt the nausea come back to me, and I try to keep it down, but when I couldn't, I ran to the bathroom, and hurled again. I ran back to the couch.
Ugh, What is wrong with me...? I thought.
"Are you okay, Sallina?" I felt a cold hand on my forehead. I felt like I had turned pale, but I didn't.
"I think, I think I'm sick. I'll be fine."
"Sall-Chan, Are you sure you're okay?"
"Y-yeah..."
"Sallina, You can't get sick..."
"Hmm?" I looked at him confused.
"You're a puppet, remember?"
"Uh, Oh."
"Did- Um, Did we use, er..." He blinked.
"Um, I don't think so..."
"Oh...Well, do you think you can get, um..."
"I can, Sasori made sure I could."
"Oh, Well, Are you...pregnant?"
I blushed, wide-eyed, "Emmett, I don't Know!"
"Well, Maybe we should go to the hospital."
"Oh-Okay." I tried to smile.
He helped me into his nice-looking car, and Drove to the hospital. They took a few tests on me, I usually had to come up with some kind of excuse for a few of my abnormalties. Emmett looked nervous, anxiously answering any question they threw his way, quickly. I had never seen him like this, all finicky, and worried. Finally, We awaited the results, after the final test was done. I looked over at Emmett.
"Sallina?" He asked.
"Yes?"
"How old are you?"
"Twenty-two."
"Twenty-two? You look Eightteen or Nineteen."
"I was Nineteen when I became a puppet."
"Oh. I'm Twenty-six."
"Okay."
We sat in silence, questions running through my mind, None of which i could answer. I really felt like crying.
"Emmett?"
"Hmm?"
"Do you have children?" I asked, curious.
"One, His name is Vancha."
"Oh." I smiled, at least he knows some parenting, just in case.
The questions ran through my mind again, I wanted them to stop. Emmett looked so worried.
"Emmett, I have a solution of what to tell Darilyn."
"Hmm."
"Just tell him that Master Sasori wanted to experiment, so He made me preganant by a Vampire, and you're helping to take care of him."
"No, Sallina, I'm responsible for this too, I'm going to help raise this child." He smiled a somber smile.
"Oh." Is all I could think of.
The doctor came back in, smiling.
"We have the results!" She flashed a grin.
Emmett and I looked at her intently.
"Sallina, You're having a Baby Boy! Congratulations!" The doctor exclaimed. I looked at her, frozen in shock. Emmett gulped.
The doctor seemed confused, but told us we were free to leave.
I walked out of the hospital by myself. We rode home in silence. I looked down, at how I was already starting to show. That was weird...I shpuldn't be showing for atleast another two months. I whimpered.
What if this baby comes too early? I started crying, softly to myself. Emmett cupped his hand over mine.
"Don't worry." he smiled.
"Emmett, Tell me about Vampire birth."
"Okay."
He turned the car sharply to the right, and pulling in the driveway. We stepped out, and stood, side-by-side, leaning on the side of the car.
"Vampire children develope quickly. In fact, You'll be having this baby in about two days, counting today."
I stood, in shock, complete with my mouth hanging open.
"And, in three months, He'll look fourteen."
I just stammered, trying to think of some kind of a answer.
"Oh."
He sighed deeply, and caressed my hand.
"Calm down..." His words seemed to melt into me.
"Well, On a happier subject, What should we name him?" I asked, smiling.
"Huh. I don't know." He looked off into the distance.
I shrugged, "How about Leon?"
"Nah." Then He seemed thoughtful.
"Alexzan." He said, fianlly deciding. It was a name full of mystery, I liked it. I smiled at him.
"That sounds nice."
"Alexzan it is, then."
"Where did you come up with it?"
"My godmother, Kioke, liked it."
I smiled.
He smiled, and Pulled me onto the bed. I smiled back, and cuddled closer to him. He grinned, revealing his fangs. I laughed a little, and pulled him closer. He leaned on my shoulder.
"So, what now?"
"I think you know..." I laughed.
He smiled, and pulled the covers over us. I rolled on top of him, pinning him to the bed, He looked at me, seductivley. I cocked my head a bit, and leaned in to kiss him full on the lips, and he particapiated in the kiss. It was a long kiss, filled with passion in every second.
"I. Love. You." I said, in between breaths. He smiled in the kiss, and told me He loved me back. He started to slide his tongue into my mouth, and I allowed it. I started to close my eyes, getting into the full effect of the kiss.
I think you can tell what happens next...
I looked over at Emmett, who was breathing pretty heavily. He smiled meekly at me, and I winked back. He grinned, and I giggled. I scooted to him closer, taking in his warmth, He put his arm around me, and I snuggled closer to him, laying my head on his chest. His heart was beating insanely rapid, and I took his hand. I interwined our fingers. Then, He kissed my cheek, and I looked down at his hand. He looked at me, and leaned more on me, and I took his hand and placed it over my heart. I held it there for a while, and we didn't move. We just sort of hung there, and I enjoyed this moment. I kissed his cheek, and let go of his hand, and he kept his hand there. He hand moved with each beat of my heart. I sighed happily. He did the same.
"Sallina-Chan?" He said, Playfully.
"Yes?" I asked.
"Could we move to the couch, after we put on some clothes?"
"Sure." I smiled. I sat up slowly, which kind of hurt. He winced as he sat up.
"Are you okay?" I asked, concerned.
"We'll need another shower." He smirked.
"Yeah." He moved slowly to the bathroom, and took a real quick shower. He came back into the bedroom, wearing a towel, and fresh Pajamas. His black silky hair was wet and slicked back.
"Your clothes are still in the machine." He said, smiling.
I nodded, and he went to the closet, picked out another pair of blue boxers, and and black tanktop.
"I Know how much you like wearing my clothes." He laughed.
i giggled a little, and took his clothes into the bathroom. The shower helped ease my pain a little, and I headed out, after drying myself off, and slipping into the clothes. He smiled, and I breathed in that sweet scent again. He put his arm on my shoulder, and we sat on the couch. I laid my head on his thighs, and he smiled, and held me close to him.
We fell asleep in that postion.
Sallina's P.O.V.
Well, I know that I get to have Emmett all week...but, There was still something wrong, something bothering me, just tugging at me, like a child would tug his mother's sleeve. Then, I realized it.
I wanted him...Forever.
Love doesn't only last for a week. Love doesn't wait for any disturbances to go away. But, We'll deal with this later.
Emmett dug in a closet, and tossed some clothes on the bed. He closed the closet doors, and folded up the clothes. He also handed me a towel.
"I'm going to say goodbye to Darilyn, Then, I'm all yours." He smiled, but it was a sad smile. He passed by me, and and without looking at me, told me to get in the shower.
I felt kind of guilty, but I went in the shower. The hot water felt nice against my cold skin, and My hair was softer. I walked out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around myself, and I grabbed the clothes. I dropped the towel, and slipped in the clothes: A Black T-Shirt, and Black boxers. I snuggled in them, taking in the sweet smell of cinnamon and vanilla. The guilty feeling i had seemed to melt away.
"Enjoying yourself?" Emmett asked, leaning in the doorway. I giggled.
"Oh, wait a minute..." I stood up, and brushed past him, to the bathroom. I picked up my clothes, and walked back to him.
"What do you want me to do with these?"
"Here, I'll take them down to the laundry room."
I blushed and looked down at the clothes I held. My panties were on the bottom.
"Geez, I've already saw them, remember?" Emmett seemed to read my mind.
I Laughed nervously, and he took them away from my hands. He passed me, and came back quicky.
"Well, what now?" I asked.
"How 'bout breakfast?"
I smiled, "Sure."
I looked down at myself. Hell, If he would've said, 'let's go kill ourselves together', I would've said Yes. I'd do anything, as long as it was with him. I felt like a fool.
We walked to the kitchen together. We were very close, but not touching, which sucked to me. I grabbed him hand, and interwined our fingers. He seemed startled at first, but then he just smiled. We finally got to the kitchen.
"Sallina. You have to let go of my hand."
"But...I don't want to."
It was true, I would've rather starved than lose my grip on his hand.
"Sallina." He said firmly. He pulled his hand away.
"There's plenty of time for that, girl." He laughed.
I laughed too, but mainly just to keep myself from whining.
"What do you want, Sall?" He looked in each cabinet.
"You."
"Sallina," He sighed, "You have to eat."
"I Know."
"So what do you want?!" Then he re-thought about that question, and added, "For breakfast?!"
"Um, How 'bout..." I looked around the kitchen, "Cereal?"
"He shrugged, "If you want it." He got out the HoneyPuffs, and split the remains between the two bowls. He poured the milk on each mound of cereal, and handed me the bowl and the spoon. This time I ate slowly, poking at a piece of it when I chewed.
"Sallina, are you okay?"
"Yeah...Just not really as hungry as i was yesterday."
"Oh." He said simply.
"Yeah..."I finished it, a little after Emmett.
"Sallina, are you sure you're okay?"
"Yes."
"You're upset, I know you are."
"Well, what do you expect?!" I let my tears flow, "You say you love me, go off with Darilyn, Tell me I'm not horrible, and then say a heartfelt goodbye to Darilyn!" I screamed, crying.
"Sallina, I..." He seemed lost for words.
"Don't tell me!"
"You have a week with me, do you want to waste it this way?"
"That's the point, Emmett!"
He looked up at me.
"That's the reason I'm pissed! That's why! I only have you for a week!"
"Sallina..."
"Don't 'Sallina...' Me!"
"Sallina, I love you, truly, I do. But I love Darilyn too, and that's the reason I'm caught."
"Then, Why, Emmett?! Why did you lead me on?!"
"Sallina, I..."
"Please." I pleaded, "Just tell me You'll Love me forever. Tell me You Love me no matter what happens."
He rushed to me, pulling me into a tight hug. I Held him close. I reached up to brush the side of his face. I felt a cold, wet teardrop, just beneath his eye.
"Sallina, Do I really have to even say it!" He said, crying into my shoulder.
I rested my head on his shoulder, and moved my hand on the opposite side to his shoulder.
"No, I know."
Sallina's P.O.V.
I didn't sleep, So I was eager to get out of bed to stretch. I sat up, sleepily, and stood up. My knees popped, but I didn't feel it. I raised my arms above my head, and yawned. I opened the curtains, and looked out. It was just turning to Dawn. I sat down on a chair, the one that Darilyn had used yesterday. I sighed silently. Darilyn walked in so silently, I barely noticed him when he emerged from the bedroom, into the living room. He gave a glance at me, and smiled.
"Good sleep?"
I smiled crookedly, "Yeah."
He could tell I was lying, and looked concerned. He walked lightly on over to me, and gave me a hug of comfort, "What's wrong?"
'Um, I didn't sleep."
"Oh. Wait, was it Emmett and I that kept you up?"
"No, I just couldn't sleep, I guess."
He shrugged, and let go of me, "As long as you're fine."
"Okay."
"Anyways, I have to take a shower and head on out of here, If I want to get to the airport on time. Emmett will keep you company. I'll see ya later."
He walked into the laundry room, grabbed his clothes, and headed into the bathroom. I walked steadily into the bedroom, My paces quickening with the excitement of seeing Emmett.
"Hey, Sall."
"Hi."
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine."
He looked down, as If ashamed of himself.
"Sallina, I have to keep up appearences. If I suddenly lose affection for him, and He finds out it's because of you, I'll never see you again."
I looked down, then straight back at him.
"Emmett, I don't wanna ruin your life."
"You're Not ruining it. If anything, I'm ruining your life."
"Huh?" I was honestly confused.
"You think I don't Love you, which Is keeping you in Agony."
I sighed, "I just don't want you to lie to me."
"Sallina! I'm. Not. Lying! I freakin' Love you, Gawd Dammit!"
I was in shock, "But you love a girl who's playing with you emo-"
He got up, wearing boxers, and interupted me with a kiss.
"You aren't playing with my freakin' emotions."
"Yes, I-"
"Shut. Up." He kissed me again, fully.
He stopped and looked at me, and pinned me to the nearest wall behind me.
"Now, Sallina. I dare you, to say that you're horrible again."
I whimpered.
"If you truly aren't afraid of me, say it. Say it, now."
"I-I'm H-H-Horrible." I stuttered.
"Why, Why do you think that?"
"Because, I-I'm playing with you-your emotions..."
"Sallina, No you aren't. If you were, you wouldn't be scared right now, you wouldn;t be bothered by the thought of me with Darilyn, and you wouldn't be letting me pin you to the wall."
"I-I..."
"Sallina..." He put his hand on my chest, where my heart is.
He looked at me directly, "Your heart is beating fast. Is this because you're scared, or in Love with me?"
"In Love..."
He smiled, and took one of his hands off my forearm, to release it, and placed my hand on his chest. i felt his heart beating rapidly, faster than mine.
"You want to know why my heart's beating so fast?"
"W-Why?"
"Because I love you, and It hurts to hear you say those things."
"Gomenasai."
He ignored my apology, and came closer.
"Now."
He leaned in, his mouth closer to my ear, "Your turn to take a shower."
What a let-down... I thought.
He kissed my forehead, and stepped back.
"But, Emmett, I don't have clothes here."
"Don't worry, you can borrow some of mine."
"Okay." I started to walk to the shower, but her grabbed my shoulder.
"Hey, cheer-up, you have me all week."
I smiled, That was Nice.
