Vampire's Bride

The Red Moon River

To my amusement Jacob has been talking to Margret. My maid that was in Persiania. I have small faith this plan will work. Lately I've been with Arthur in his room. He's been teaching me how to play the piano. Its suppose to be hard but the way Arthur teaches me makes learning so simple. My entire stay here I haven't seen King Edward or Queen Esmerelda. Arthur said they've lived in a secret mansion on the countryside of Rolumpus ever since they stepped down and he was sworn in. So I have no idea when I'll see them.

Maria has been spending much time with Arthur and I. It's cute when he rocks her to sleep while telling her the story about a Princess and King falling in love. The way Arthur reacts with little Maria is the cutest thing ever. Arthur would be one hell of a father. If Arthur is truly serious about our...relationship right now. Whatever situation we've put ourselves in, if he's serious then maybe...we could have a beautiful child. I do have feelings for Arthur, I mean honestly, he is the hottest and sweetest thing to walk the face of the earth. So I'd expect him to have girls throwing themselves at his feet. I think that's something I should be careful of.

I sat inside the library putting books away that I got done reading when Maria shouted from the floor underneath me in the library "Mommy, when am I going to have a sibling?"

I froze up and slowly walked towards the banister "Honey what do you mean?"

She continues to read "You know, a brother or sister?"

"Why?"

She coughs playfully "So I'm not lonely and I can play mommy."

I giggle "Little one, if I have a baby I'm going to be the mommy."

She closes her book and eyes me "But I want to be the mommy."

Using wolf speed I rushed downstairs and sat next to her "But if it's going to be in my belly for nine months, wouldn't it be me and the father's baby?"

"You and daddy's baby would be my baby."

My mouth drops "Me and Arthur aren't- We're not- Honey I don't think-"

She giggles "You and daddy are going to get married one day and give me a sibling so I can play mommy."

Suddenly something picks Maria up and she starts screaming and laughing "Who's a sweet little pumpkin?"

Maria laughs "Daddy stop it! I'm ticklish!"

He places her back on the couch "Mommy and I don't plan on having children Maria."

She smiles "But you and mommy are in love!"

He smiles weakly and gets on one knee "It's difficult sweetie. Be patient with us."

She opens her book and goes back to reading and I mouth to Arthur "Thank you."

He mouths back "No problem."

Arthur and I take a stroll in the garden "Luckily she didn't say Artemis is her baby again."

I laugh "It's sweet how she wants to be a big sister."

He grins "I mean do you want to have a baby?"

I frown "Arthur, you know how my father feels about the Witch and Vampire thing and plus he has a hell of a lot of feelings towards this wedding."

He rolls his eyes and grabs my chin "I know that but I didn't ask for his feelings or opinions. I wanted yours."

I bite my lip and nervously avoid eye contact "A baby wouldn't be the worst possible thing ever."
