Light Side (Sequel to Dark Side)

Chapter 6

After the lady awkwardly helped me find the tests, I dashed home and locked myself in the bathroom.

My mind was racing with bad thoughts and worries. If I had a beating heart, it would be racing. If this is what's wrong, how could it be possible?

Nervously and shaky, I take the test and wait. My legs are bouncing as I sit on the toilet seat. I took three tests, just to be sure.

After a few minutes, I decided to look at the tests. My head shot up and I slowly stood up. With a shaking hand, I grabbed the first test. My body went numb, and it felt colder than usual.

Positive.

How could this be possible in any way?

"No." I whispered, ready to cry.

In a panic, I grabbed the other two.

Positive. And positive.

I sank to my knees, my hands balled into fists. I let a few tears fall and then I stood up. Anger rushed through me and I don't know why. How could this happen? I can't have a baby. I'm a vampire! Vampires cant have babies, can they? This makes zero sense whatsoever.

With my whole body tensed up, I went up to our bedroom and flipped the light on.

"Hey!" I snapped.

Harry sat up, rubbing his eyes.

"What?" he said.

"You want to know what was wrong with me? Here!" I yelled, throwing the tests at him.

He looked at them, his eyes growing wider.

"What?" he yelled.

I groaned and crossed my arms.

"Yeah, Harry. This is what's wrong! How could this happen?" I said a bit too loudly.

He stood up and walked over to me. He reached his arm out, but I shook away from him.

"Don't touch me!" I say.

He took his arm back, his face showing he's hurt. I felt bad, but this is no time to think about being nice.

"Harry, how could this possibly happen?" I ask.

He rubs the back of his neck.

"Do I really need to explain how this happened?"

My fists tighten.

"No! I mean how can I have a baby? I'm a vampire!" I scream.

Harry takes my arm.

"Naomi, it is possible for vampires to have babies. But it's so rare for us to actually fall in love. Most vampires are alone, so they don't even have to worry about this. I'm so sorry, baby."

I sit on the bed and scream.

"Harry I'm not ready for this!" I scream.

He sits by me, and I let him put an arm around me.

"Harry, I'm seventeen!"

He nods. "I know. I'm so sorry. But to be fair, you will be seventeen forever."

I glare at him.

"Just shut it." I snap.

He backs off.

"Harry, I can't do this. We cant have a baby."

He nods and looks down.

"Naomi, we can't just get rid of a baby. That's not right."

I cry and wipe my wet eyes.

"But I'm not ready. I don't want a baby. And adoption isn't even an option with a vampire. Harry, please." I choke out.

He holds me close.

"I'm sorry, Naomi. I'm so sorry."

***

Harry and I stay apart that day. We're not mad at each other, we just need time alone. I'm in our bedroom. I'm hugging my legs, refusing to let anymore tears fall. This is the last thing I needed. I wanted Harry, not a baby.

First of all, I have no idea how to take care of a baby. Second of all, its going to be a vampire. How are we supposed to know how to take care of a vampire baby? Neither of us were born vampires. When was the last time two vampires had babies, anyway? I didn't even think it was possible.

Of course this would happen to me. My life was already messed up horribly. Just a few months ago, I was a normal teenage girl. Now here I am. A vampire, expecting a baby with my boyfriend. My vampire boyfriend.

I groan and lay down on the bed. There was a knock on the door.

"I'm not in the mood, Harry." I say.

He comes in anyway.

"Naomi, you need to eat."

I sigh. "I said I'm not in the mood."

Harry sits next to me, rubbing my back.

"We'll get through this." he says.

I shake my head.

"No, Harry. We wont. I don't know how to take care of a baby, much less a vampire baby. I mean, what do we do? How do we feed it? Will it go to school? Will it need toys? I'm not ready for this, Harry." I say, my eyes glowing with tears.

He lays down next to me and wraps an arm around my middle.

"I don't know, either, baby. But we have to try. We can't give up on this baby. It couldn't help being made and being born. It's not the baby's fault, Naomi."

I nod. "I know. Its our fault."

We don't say much after that.

After a while, Harry sat up. I watched him sit on the bed. He rubbed the back of his neck and sighed.

"I'm sorry for getting mad at you." I say.

He looks back at me.

"Its alright. I know his much you're going through, and this didn't really help your stress level go down, did it?"

I shake my head. "Nope." I say, popping the p.

He smiles and rubs my back up and down.

"Should I just try to bring back you some food?"

I think, then nod. "Yeah."

He stays with me for a little longer, waits until I fall asleep, then leaves.
