I feel his body awaken and his defined muscle tense. I remove my fangs from his neck and move my hair out the way so he can bite me back. He grabs my waist and bites eagerly, sending shock wave through my body. It's a beautiful feeling, being bitten by someone you love...
I let him catch his breath while my hand moves to my healing but bleeding stomach. And then it hits me. Like a brick wall or like having an entire mountain tumble over on top of you. My stomach....my mason....the knife..Ed sits up, blurry eyed he feels his neck and sees the blood stains on my teeth. He puts the dots together himself. Then he notices my stomach and leaps forward with incredible speed.
"Skyler...." The sound of a meant-to-be father realising the unforgivable fate of his unborn child is heartbreaking. He stands and rings the doctor. A sob escapes my mouth as I see Cameron's dead body on the ground. His neck limp. I can still remember his death so clearly. The way his eyes went wide then black. The way Nathan tossed him to the ground. How could one thing ruin so much?

The doctor arrives in minutes and Ed picks me up and carries me to the couch. Dr. Moris places a hand on my stomach and uses a rare, rare power mastered by few vampires. He can see inside people's minds. He can see into my baby's mind too by placing his hand on my stomach. His face twists with agony as he takes his hand away. He shakes his head slightly and I collapse into Ed's arms crying and crying. Dr. Moris pats Ed on the shoulder, gives his condolences and leaves. Decapitation kills instantly.....

The next few hours are a blur. Cameron's sire, a pretty girl named Kennedy, finds our house. She felt Cameron die and the feeling of loss lead her to where his body is. Kennedy is tall with white blonde hair dip dyed blue. She has deep blue eyes and tear stained cheeks. I stand and hug her despite our recent meeting because I feel it too. The loss of my sire. She asks what happened and I shakily explain. I tell her about my lost baby as well. We cry together.

Kennedy stays with us a while. We took Cameron's body to a river where it's vampire form will quickly dissolve into liquid. Ed locks himself away to drink but his new transformation refuses him to get drunk. The cloud of depression is hanging over the house and I'm grateful for Kennedy being here to keep me on my feet since Ed can no longer do so. I head to bed, three days since my baby died. My movie has been pushed back again so it could be another month or so before I go back and Ed is writing an album so he's not needed either. We both are being ineffective. I climb beneath the covers next to Ed and he rolls over to hug me from behind. He starts singing a song I have heard before, they are lyrics only he could have written...
"You're just a small bump unborn" I sit up quickly and rip myself from his grasp, getting out of the bed.
"HOW COULD YOU SING SOMETHING LIKE THAT?" I scream.
"Calm down Skyler" the voice comes from Kennedy, her voice soothing and soft. She holds me close but I can only just feel her presence. My body is shaking with anger and sadness and Ed and Kennedy yell at each other. What am I going to do?
