[Completed] Riley Hayes | A Vampire Novel - Book I

Chapter 30 - We'll be alright

Weeks passed by and I had woken up in the morning with a nauseous feeling falling over me. Leuca wasn't anywhere in sight, probably working already like usual.

I just wanted to turn around but then I felt the need to throw up. I throw the covers off me and ran to the bathroom where I emptied my stomach in the toilet.

The disgusting taste and burning feeling in my throat sprung water in my eyes. I hated throwing up so bad.

I felt a little better now, well, physically. Mentally I was going over numerous possibilities in my mind for such nausea. Eaten something bad? I couldn't because Anthony was very specific with his ingredients when he made food for me. Only the freshest ingredients were used.

I did miss my period but I had that happen a few times in the past as well. Stress can do that to the female body though honestly, I haven't been stressing lately.

The other possibility could be pregnancy, I had seen it with my mom plenty of times. But I didn't have sex with a human in the past few months. Just with Leuca.

I bit my nail while going over the possibilities, "fuck..." I didn't know. I didn't have sex with Ricky back then, so it just couldn't be possible.

Could what happened in that movie happen in real life? Nah, there's no way he would fall in love with a human. Had I fallen in love with Leuca? Maybe, my stomach fluttered when I saw him or if he touched me.

I would secretly want his attention when he wasn't giving me any. I wanted cuddles and never mind sex. I haven't been oblivious to my feelings I am just realistic. Nothing good will come from me admitting to my feelings.

I stood in front of the mirror and looked at my belly, flat as can be. But if it was in an early stage then it wouldn't be noticeable yet. I would just wait for another few weeks and if I would have my period then everything was all good.

...

...

Well, weeks passed by and I didn't have my period. My morning sickness was random as well but until today I had been able to hide it from Leuca. Today I woke up quite early feeling the need to throw up last night's snacks.

I rushed to the bathroom and closed the door behind me. I heard a knock on the door followed by Leuca asking me what was wrong. "N-Nothing, my stomach was upset from all the snacks last night I guess," I replied and flushed the toilet.

I quickly brushed my teeth and opened the door. Leuca looked concerned and placed his hand on my forehead. "Your temperature is normal, are you sure you're feeling alright?" He asked.

I nodded, "yeah, I feel fine now." I replied. It wasn't

My suspicions have been clarified quite well now. But how the fuck did I get pregnant? If Leuca finds out...

What he'd do to the baby? My mother instinct was already kicking in, I couldn't let him take my baby away or even hurt it. If it was his and it would be half-human... He had been quite clear when he said he wouldn't raise a human child ever again. Amalia was his first and his last.

What should I do?

I didn't fall asleep and just kept on thinking about the child's future. It wouldn't have one here. If it was more human than vampire, would he... Would he make it a slave? I wouldn't let that happen to my child.

Not the same fate I had.

I hadn't realized I was crying until Leuca woke up and turned to me, "why are you crying?" He pulled me into him while softly scratching my scalp. "Riley?"
