-------------------------

Richtofen's POV:

Holly was on the table in my lab, but didn't put up any sort of fight. I had Dempsey and Takeo strap her down just incase, and began my examination. Her small body was limp, almost lifeless. I pulled at her clothes, pressed various areas on her body, and examined the light sensitivity of her eyes. Nothing. She wasn't bitten, scratched, or even bruised. I began to examine her abdomen, ignoring Dempsey's growls and swears towards me. I requested my stethoscope off the table, and Tessa reacted immediately. She made an amazing assistant, and was attentive and quick. I placed the buds in my ears, and pressed the other end to Holly's stomach. Immediately, the soft heartbeat of an unborn child came to my attention. "Zhat's a relief." I mumbled, and pressed the end just above her right breast. Her heartbeat was louder, and slower than the child's. I measured out the intervals, then took the buds from my eyes again. "She and zhe child are shtable. Heartbeats are normal, breathing is normal, and she doesn't seem to have any injuries vhat-so-ever." I scanned her relaxed body again. She was limp, and her eye remained open. They stayed fixated on something in the corner of the room. But as my examination went further, nothing was there. It was like she was sleeping with her eyes open. I felt a warm pair of arms wrap around my arm, and I looked towards it. My darling Tessa was pressed into me, her face expressing so many mixed emotions. I leaned down, and kissed her head. "She vell be alright, liebe. I don't know vhat Samanzha is planning, by none of us vill let it happen. You have my vord." I murmured. I turned my attention to Dempsey, "And I give you my cord as vell." He nodded, then resumed his actions of fawning over his lover.

(Lemon time!! :3)

Tessa's POV:

Holly had been in her trance for three days now, and there was no sign of he snapping out of it. Richtofen and I slept in the room connected to the lab, and always kept an ear out for her. Tank often lingered in the lab throughout the day, and it seemed as though the fight had been stripped from him. Kelsie chose to keep her distance, for fear that she would have a breakdown next to Holly. Nikolai stuck to Kelsie mostly, but occasionally came to the lab to check on Holly. Takeo seemed to come in a little less often than Tank, mostly to pray over Holly, and recite ancient Japanese scriptures if honor and healing. He seemed to believe that it would empower her spirit enough to push the evil from her body. The night of the third day, I lay in the bedroom, dawning only an old black dress shirt of Edward's and my panties. I listened as The shirt's owner did his nightly routine of sending a drained Tank to bed, then locking the lab. he strolled into the room, and pulled the door until it was only cracked open. He then began to remove his shirt, sitting on the bed to remove his belt. I stared at his bare back, and began to feel a familiar warmth pool in my groin. It may have been because we hadn't had sex for a while, but tonight I wanted him. Badly. I silently crawled toward him, wrapping my arms around his torso from behind. I peppered kisses on his shoulder, and nibbled up his neck. He groaned softly, and chuckled in a seductive way. "Someone's eager tonight." He murmured. I gripped his shoulders, and pulled him to lay on his back. I all but straddled his face, looking down at him as he smirked up at me. I reached up, popping the buttons on my shirt, then letting it slide off my shoulders to pool behind me. His smile grew dark, and I leaned down, hovering my head over his groin. As I began to unbutton his pants, his fingers hooked the underside of my panties, pulling the cloth to the side "Such a pretty blossom, my sveet.." He whispered, then began to blow cool air on it. I gasped, but regained myself. I kept pushed, opening his trousers, and releasing his length from his pants. I gripped it, and licked the plump tip softly. He groaned, the plunged his tongue up into my folds. I moaned, unable to keep what I was doing. One of his hands gripped my hips, while the other push two fingers into my heat. I cried out as he thrust his fingers him, while his tongue flicked against my clit. I could feel myself dripping, and I begged for more. He stopped suddenly, and backed up to sit up. Edward pulled me into his lap, and lined himself with my entrance. One hand held me open for his length, the other massages my breast roughly. His lips suckled and bit my neck, as he slowly slid the tip into me. I gasped again, my hand reaching behind me to tangle in his hair. He thrusted up, and I began to ride him. His fingers then gripped my hips, slamming my body down onto his girth. I cried out as he continued this, and angled to hit that perfect spot he had found so long ago. My mind went blank, and I surrendered to the carnal pleasure he gave me. I felt my orgasm build, and I squeezed myself around him. "I-I'm so close!~" I moaned. He must have been in the same boat, for his slams and thrusts became more erratic. After a few more thrusts, I came around him, and soon after he pulled out, angling his length to spray up onto my stomach. We were both panting, and I slumped against him. He chuckled, and pulled us both back to lay on the bed. He flicked the bedside lamp off, and pulled my back closer to him. We lay like this, and I couldn't help but long to spill the words I'd been hiding from him. In my exhaustion, I murmured, "Edward...." "Hmm?" He grunted, his lips pressed to my shoulder. "I.... I think I love you..." I whispered. His arms tightened around my waist. "Nien, zhat is not good, liebeling." My heart stopped, "What..? Why?" I said loudly. "Shhh.. I vill tell you vhen I am ready. Now shleep, liebe." He murmured. Soon his breath became soft with sleep, but now I couldn't. No matter how heavy my lids were, my mind was racing to much to sleep. I didn't understand what he meant, it confused me. What was I to Edward..

~~~~~~~~~

The next morning, I was surprisingly up before Edward. I sat up, pulling from his embrace. I yawned, and stretched, then slipped the large shirt back over my body. It was time like this that I needed Holly to talk to. I walked out of the bedroom, into the lab. I plodded towards the table that Holly laid on, noticing she still hadn't moved. I sighed, kneeling in front of her face. Edward had closed her eyes so they wouldn't dry out, seeing as how she wouldn't blink. It was as though she was asleep. I placed my hand on her cheek. She was warm, as I ran my fingers up to forehead. I was suddenly overwhelmed by a sweltering amount of power. I surged up my arms, and my vision went dark.

(Vision)

I stood alone, and a dark room. Nothing was visible but the blackness around me. I looked around, confused on my location. Then, I heard the laughter of little girls. I spun around, and was greeted by to small girls. One was a blonde, and looked about 3. Her thin hair hung loosely in a short bob, her eyes a hazel blue-greenish color, and a blue dress with long sleeves clung to her small frame. Undoubtably, this was Holly's child. But, her hand was clutched to that of another little girls. This one looked about 7 or 8, her long black hair matched her dark eyes, and she dawned a worn, white nightgown. The blonde girl clutched a tattered teddy bear, and her eyes wandered me. This was the first time I had seen both of them, but I was sure who they were. The older one had a familiar dark aura around her, and I could tell without a doubt that this was Samantha. The blonde girl turned to Samantha, "Big sister, who is that lady?" Samantha kept her cold eyes locked on me. "Someone who shouldn't be here." She muttered, a familiar German accent brushing her voice. I growled, "So you are the one that's making Holly like this!" I spat, and the youngest's eyes widened. "Is there something wrong with mama?" She begged me, dropping both the teddy bear and Samantha's hand. I nodded, "And it's all he fault." I growled, point to Samantha. I kneeled down, "Come with me, I can save you and your mother." I begged her. She hesitated, but took a step towards me. Samantha roared, "Don't listen to her! She'll hurt you!" "No, I won't. I'm you mother's best friend, and I'm the one you'll call 'Aunt Tessa' when your born. Her blue eye widened, and she took another step towards me. She kept walking, while Samantha screamed at her. The more the oldest screamed, the faster the blonde's steps came, until finally her hand collapsed around my finger. I smiled at her, and pulled her close to me, "Everyone's worried about you, and your mommy. You have to help her get Samantha away, or else your daddy an the others may never get to meet you." I said, and she began to nod furiously. "I think I know what to do." She whispered, then wrapped her arms around my neck. "But you have to go back to daddy, ok?" I nodded, "Then I'll wait to meet you, but.. What is your name?" She smiled, "My name is Delilah Marie Dempsey!" She giggled. I smiled, "then I'll see you in a few months, Delilah." And the girl faded into blackness again.

(End of vision)

I jerked back to reality, and was startled to find everyone else around me. Edward was holding my top half up , while the other gathered around me. I blinked, "Umm... Hi..." I blushed. Edward let out a relieved sigh, "I vas starting to zhink zhat Samanzha had taken over you, too" I shocked my head, "No, but I think I have the a answer to our problem!" I pulled out of his arms, and stood up to Holly's side. I placed my hand on her stomach, and began to feel the dark energy depleting. I grinned, "It's working!" I gasped. Holly's toes curled, her first movement in days! The darkness faded faster, and her knee jerked slightly. Faster and faster, warmth spread up her body, an her hand twitched, her fingers balling up. The group surrounded her, and gasps of shock escaped them, as well as words of encouragement from Tank, Nikolai, and Kelsie. Finally, the dark energy faded, and I was welcomed by the familiar feeling of Holly's warm energy. Droplets fell from her eyes, and they began to flutter open. Tank gripped her hand, squeezing it almost lethally. Her blue eyes were now fully open, and they began to travel around the room. "Holly..? Is that you...?" I murmured, and her attention snapped to me. One of her famous grins spread across her cheeks, "Hey guys... What's goin' on..?" She said weakly. Whoops and cheers erupted from Kelsie and Nikolai, Tank peppered kisses all over her face, and Takeo smiled at her. I even saw Edward wipe his brow in relief. I grinned at Holly, "Boy, do

I have some news for you." I chimed, and planted a kiss to the top of her hand.
