Falling For You (bxb)

Alex's POV

I blinked my eyes 5 times in a row before staring up at the ceiling. When Ash's eyes came into my view, I asked, "What happened?"

"You'd better sit yourself up and figure it out. Remember that stress is not good for the child and that it wasn't your fault."

When I sat up on the plush rug, my eyes immediate jumped to a sobbing Vic. However, what he was holding made my heart snap into finite pieces. "D-did I do that!?"

"I'm so sorry, Alex. I shouldn't have let your bloodlust get out of control–"

"Nonononono, this is all my fault! Oh God!" I looked down at my hands to find that they were slightly bloody. "Is he going to be alright?"

"We don't know. We have yet to get him to the doctor."

"Well what the hell are you waiting for!?"

Ash walked towards Vic and began whispering intensely towards him while I just played with my fingers. I don't know what caused me to snap; I mean, even though I was part vampire 6 months ago, I've never so much as wished for blood. Maybe... Maybe it's because the baby is going to be born a vampire? My fingers brushed my stomach, and even though what I had done was horrible, I couldn't help but smile at the little life form inside of me.

I snapped out of my little trance when Ash's hand found its way on top of mine. "Vic took him to the doctor. I'm sorry, I should have told you that being pregnant might make your cravings stronger."

Suddenly, everything came back to me.

I forced open the door to my brother's room as soon as I smelt the filthy vampire, and when I saw them on the bed together, I immediately dragged him off of my brother and threw him onto the floor before latching my teeth into his shoulder. When he whimpered quietly, it only spurred me on, and I hardly heard Ally scream.

Suddenly, I felt something pulling at my shoulders, and I spun on whoever it was while seeing total red. With the angry haze over my eyes, I couldn't see who was trying to get him off me, all I saw was an enemy. When I attacked the person, I immediately latched my aching teeth into their wrist and sucked in deeply.

I don't know how long I had been drinking before I was suddenly jerked back away from my little snack, and I ended up staring at the ceiling.

"I didn't even realize that it was him, Ash. Once I attacked Vic I couldn't see anything except red. Is it normal to feel this horrible?"

"Yes. When I was out of control, I killed so many innocent animals, and I would always snap out of it at sunrise so mad at myself. Especially when you're carrying, you'll find it hard to control yourself."

"Ash, I don't want to hurt people!"

"Shhhh... I know you don't. You know, you probably should talk to your father about this whole thing."

My father... That's right! I found him in the forest completely shattered for unknown reasons, and I didn't even know if he was alright. "I probably should... It's time to pay the good ol' man a visit." I wound myself around Ash's arm before dragging him out of the room behind me. Once we arrived in my father's bedroom, I saw him sitting up slowly while groaning. "How are you, Papa? I was really worried when I found you."

"I tried to take your advice and talk to Jackson, but I think I just made things worse," he murmured. When I looked into his eyes, all I could see was pure exhaustion and sadness, and I found myself crossing the room to give him a tight hug.

"I'm so sorry, Papa."

"It isn't your fault. Why did you come here?"

"Um... I just wanted to tell you... God I don't know how to say this."

"Just say what's on your mind."

"I'm pregnant," I spat out nervously. His expression was one of total shock, and I began playing with my fingers.

"R-really?"

"Yeah."

"Get out!"

I flinched at his harsh words while backing up into Ash's chest. "What?"

"Just get the hell out of my room!"

"You are the worst type of person," Ash snarled at my father before pulling me out of the room. I pushed my face into Ash's chest and began crying from my father's harsh words. "Shhh... It's okay, we'll figure this out."

"Will we though?"

"I'm sure that he'll come around."

"What if he doesn't?"

"You'll always have me."

Ally's POV

I stirred slightly to the sound of high pitched beeping and the sparking touch of Vic's skin against mine. "Is he going to be okay?" Vic blurted while holding my uninjured hand against his chest.

"He isn't going to die. However, you are lucky that you got Alpha to stop when you did or it would be much, much worse." Suddenly, I was being forced towards the surface of my conscience, and I couldn't stifle the groan that escaped my incredibly chapped lips.

"Ally! Are you okay? Do you need anything? Are you dizzy?" Vic stammered while I forced my eyes open.

"Shut up," I croaked, but the pure concern on his face made me feel giddy inside. He actually cares about me!

His normally bright chestnut colored eyes were still slightly dim with worry, and I could tell from his messy reddish brown hair that he had been running his hands through the locks. "Really though, how are you feeling?"

"Just wonderful."

"Who knew so much sarcasm could come out of someone soooo tiny."

"I'm not short!"

Suddenly, Alex burst through the clinic door, and Victor immediately stood up to defend me with a hiss. I know that I'm vulnerable and the bond is making him want to protect me, but come on! Shockingly, instead of getting upset with my soulmate, Alex meekly murmured, "I know that I messed up, but can I see him?"

Vic was obviously fighting a battle within himself before stepping aside to allow Alex through. As soon as his figure moved, my frantic brother rushed forward and began stressing over me. "I already told you that I'm fine, 'Lex," I mumbled.

"But you're so pale!"

"I'm not dead. I do, however, want to know why. What happened that made you lash out?"

"Well as you know, I'm pregnant. It's extremely likely since I'm also half vampire that the baby takes after Ash. I know that that shouldn't have made me attack you, but at the same time can you try to understand why it happened?"

"That does make sense. I don't blame you, 'Lex, but I do think that you should keep the baby satisfied so that nothing like this happens again."

"Thank you for not getting mad," Alex whispered before suddenly breaking out into tears.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I tried to tell papa about the baby and he didn't take it too well."

I surged up from the bed before waving slightly on my feet. "I'm gonna fucking kill him!" I shouted while attempting to walk confidently out of the room.

"Babe, you need to rest," Vic inputted, but I had already left the room.
