The Sitter (Completed)

Chapter Seventeen

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

(RECAP)

"Mary Muller, from the first time I laid eyes on you, I knew you were my mate. You complete me, body and soul, you make me laugh, make me smile and most of all, you make me the vampire I want to be. So, I was wondering.... Will you marry me, and make me the happiest vampire in the world?"

Awe he's so cute. I feel tears threatening to fall, and the babies are moving around, making this moment even more special. He completes me also, so...

"Yes!" I scream, with tears flowing down my cheeks. "Yes Dick, I will marry you and spend the rest of my life with you!"

He slowly placed the ring on my finger. It's beautiful. It's not like most engagement rings though, it's much better. It's something he created, just for me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

MARY's POV

I looked into Dick's eyes, and knew, knew that this was just the beginning. The beginning of something special. This is not only the beginning for me and Dick, but it's the start of a whole new world. A world of our own, with two adorable babies, and together we are going to shine. 

Dick kissed my cheek, then walked to the driver's side and got in. I closed my door, buckled up and waited, not sure what we were doing next. He started the car and headed down the road. I'm excited to be buying things for the twins. They need so much stuff. Gosh, where do we begin.

"Where are we going first?" I ask.

"Wherever you'd like to go sweetie," he smiled, "we can go to the moon if you'd like. but I don't think we'd find anything for the twins there." He laughed out loud, causing a chain reaction in the car. We both laughed loudly, not caring about anyone who coud hear us. I'm not quiet sure why we were laughing so much, but it felt good, and it is just what I needed to feel more relaxed. "Mary, your wish is my command, so you just let me know where you want to go, to get started."

"How about Babies 'R' Us, first?" I ask. Knowing he'd go anywhere for me.

"Sure babe," Dick laughed, "how are my youngen's doing?"

"They're playing," I cringe from a little pain, "and it hurts a little, but I think they're just excited, knowing we're going shopping for them."

"They'e just like their mom!" Dick laughs again.

"Oh hush," I laugh, "there's the store silly, pull in."

We pull into the parking lot, find a spot, and get out. Dick holds onto me, making sure I don't fall, or wobble to far away. I guess he thinks I can't walk on my own or something. He tightens his grip the closer we get to the entrance, but why? Hmm.

"I'm sorry sweetie," Dick whispered. "I just get a little nervous, you know, in the public. I feel the need to protect you...and the babies. I just want to keep you all safe."

"It's just a store, for pete sake, what on earth could happen in a store," I ask, "and a baby story, for that matter."

"It's just me, the need, to protect what's mine," he continued, "but you're right, we're in a baby store, nothings going to happen."

With that, we walked into Babies 'R' Us. I stopped, and stare straight ahead. This store is huge, it has everything, everything a baby needs. On the far, back wall there are beds hanging from the wall, like literally hanging on the wall. It looks crazy. To the right of me I see bottles, cups, pacifiers, bottle cleaners, and things like that. An isle or two down from that, I see strollers, diapers, playpens and more beds. To the left of me I see cashiers, toys, clothes, shoes, and much much more. I don't know where to begin, and the next thing I know, Dick has placed a buggy in front of me, and has one for himself.

"Let's get this party started sweetie!" He yells.

So we did. I pushed the buggy over toward the bottles and started looking at them. Wow, they have so many different bottles. I mean really, they have like thirty different name brands of bottles, from stainless steel to glass, with plastic bottles in the middle. They have standard bottles, angle neck bottles, bottles with plastic disposal things, and natural flow bottles. Which are the best? What should I choose?

"Which do you think we should get for the twins?" I ask, not turning around.

"Get some of each baby," he answers, "don't worry about money, we have enough for a lifetime, just get what you want."

I did just that, and began to toss one of each in my buggy. After. tossing about fifteen diffent bottles in, I placed the glass and stainless steel ones in. I didn't want to toss them, because well, you know.

We walked down the next isle, which is the bottle cleaners, cups, and pacifers. I grab two pink cups and two blue cups, toss them in the buggy and continue. I got a bottle stand, for when the bottles are dry, a two bottles cleaners, and placed it all inside the buggy. It's starting to fill up and we've only begun. I look back at Dick and smile, he smiles back, walking over to hug me. He places a kiss on my forehead, cheeks, and mouth, then says,

"Are you having fun sweets? I'm having fun watching you, you seem so at ease. I'm so glad that you are my babies mommy, and my soon to be wife. I wouldn't have any of this, any other way."

"I love you," I say, "and yes, I'm having fun, and we wouldn't have it any other way either. By the way, the twins are sleeping now, so let's hurry."

"Okay," Dick replies, "want me to go look for things on the other side of the store?"

"No, please stay and help me!" I all but scream.

"Okay baby," he laughs, "calm down, I'm not going anywhere."

We continue shopping. Placing everything we want for the kids inside. We are now on our third buggy, and now it's time to get some clothes. I didn't like any of the baby beds they have here so we're going to go somewhere else. But I do like some of the clothes.

"Mary!" Some called. Someone whose voice sounded familiar. It's a woman, but who?

"Mary, it's me Wanda," she calls, "what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home? Dang girl, you've diffinitely grown since this morning."

"Hey Wanda," I answer, " yes I should be home, but we need to get this done, you know, before the kids get here. Plus, Dr. Teston doesn't have to know." I laugh and so does Wanda. Dick is standing with his arms around me, rubbing my stomach. We continue talking a bit longer. We invite Wanda to come with us, and she agrees.

"So who is this Dr. Teston?" Wanda asks.

"He's a wonderful doctor, and the best part is, is he's a vampire" Dick answers.

"What's his full name?" she asks.

"Dr. Liam Teston, why?" I ask.

"Liam Teston!" Wanda screams.

I know it's short, but I have so much planned for the next chapter... Enjoy!!!
