I wouldn’t be able to smell food if it wasn’t cooking or out. I backed up and looked towards the kitchen. “Ariel. What is it?” Keith asked. I shrugged, “I don’t know.” I went into the kitchen and the smell was coming out of the fridge. I opened it and picked up the container of red liquid. I smelled it. That’s what the smell was coming from. I called, “Keith.”


He was by my side in a second, “Yes?” I showed him it and asked, “This is blood?” He nodded, “Yes. Why?” I opened the lid and smelled it. I closed my eyes and started to drink it. It tasted good. When it was empty I put the cup in the sink and wiped my mouth. I was pregnant again. I touched my stomach and turned to him smiling slightly, “I’m pregnant. Otherwise I’d be getting sick right now and I wouldn’t have smelled it from in there.”

He smiled and hugged me, “I love you.” “I love you too.” I was a little less enthusiastic about it. He pulled back, “What’s the matter?” “I’m scared.” I said. He cradled my face in his hands, “Well don’t be.” I sighed, “I wish it was that easy not to be scared.” He kissed me. When he pulled back, “Don’t worry. Just relax.” I nodded, “I’ll try.”

We went back into the other room with the others. He sat down on the couch and pulled me into his lap. Diana asked, “So what was going on?” I sighed, “I was smelling the blood from the fridge. And I drank it. I’m pregnant again.” I layed my head back on Keith’s shoulder. They all smiled. But they read my mood so they didn’t jump up with joy. Hilary asked, “What’s the matter, sweetie? You don’t look excited.” Keith said, “She’s scared of losing the baby again.” “There’s no reason to be afraid. We’re going to take extra precautions this time. We’ll protect you better this time.” I sighed and cuddled up to Keith, “I’m tired.” He went to stand up but I pushed him back, “No. I wanna stay right here.” He settled back down and held me close to him. I closed my eyes and fell asleep in his arms.


Chapter 15: June 27th - Birthday

My stomach had grown out to be a watermelon. My feet swelled and I was eating and drinking blood a lot more. William hasn’t bothered us since that day at the movies. Keith was saying that he had finally given up but I know that he’s just trying to make me feel better. If William’s been gone this long then he’s planning something big. We had the funeral for the first baby in the side backyard. It had a tombstone with his name on it and everything. I still blamed myself for his death but I never told Keith and he never asked; which didn’t mean he didn’t know.

We were all outside having a barbeque. I was laying back in one of those lounge chairs. David was cooking by the grill talking with Hilary and Diana was in the in-ground swimming pool that went from three feet to eight feet. Keith sat on the chair beside me just watching me. I was lucky to be able to go to the bathroom by myself now. Anything else was out of the question. I wore shorts and a t-shirt that didn’t really fit me. It rose up at the bottom showing my huge stomach.

Keith asked, “Do you want to go sit in the pool? Cool off?” I shook my head, “No. I’m fine right here.” David looked over his shoulder at me, “You should. It’s hot out here and the heat’s not good for the baby. Or you.” I sighed, “Fine.” Keith smiled and stood. I held my hands out for him and he helped me up. He picked me up and headed for the pool. I said, “I’m pregnant. Not crippled.” He shrugged as he stepped into the pool, “I don’t care. With how big you are you’ll be giving birth soon.” I nodded, “Yeah. And?” He sat down and sat me on his lap, “And I’m going to be helping you around and getting stuff for you.” I sighed and layed my head against his shoulder. He wrapped his arms around me placing them on my stomach. I placed my hands on his holding them there.

After a few minutes I jumped from the baby kicking. Everyone looked at me. Keith asked, “What’s wrong?” I smiled, “You react to everything. Nothing’s wrong. The baby just kicked.” Everyone relaxed but they glanced at me once in a while. I sighed and just relaxed in the pool.

But it happened again except for it was sharper. I jumped and placed my hands on my stomach. “Ariel. Now don’t tell me that was a kick.” Keith said picking me up and taking me out of the water. He layed me down on the grass and started checking my stomach and my pulse. I said, “I’m fine. The baby’s just moving around . . .” My words were cut off when I turned my head and a fountain of blood came out of my mouth and I started shaking like a fish on land. Keith layed me down in my bed; I didn’t realize that we had moved. Diana was dabbing a wet rag to my head and Hilary was at the bottom of the bed with David. Keith was beside me holding my hand tightly in his. My pants were already off as they went to work on delivering the baby.


A sharp pain rode up my spine. I arched my back like someone was pulling my chest up and I let out a scream that I stopped by biting down after a moment. Keith kissed my hand, “It’ll be okay Ariel. I promise.” I squeezed my eyes shut tight to hold back the scream when the next pain went up my spine. And I held my breath. David yelled, “Ariel! Breathe!” I shook my head. Keith layed his head beside mine and whispered in my ear, “Baby breathe. It’s okay to scream. I know it hurts. Breathe for me. For the baby.” I let my breath out and turned my head.

I kissed Keith, “I love you.” He smiled, “I love you too. Any moment now our baby’s gonna come out and you’ll be able to rest.” I smiled and bit down as the next sharp pain ran up my spine. “It’s almost out!” David yelled. “I can see the head!” Hilary smiled, “Blond curly hair just like it’s mother.” I lifted my head, “Is he okay?” I heard a baby cry and I smiled. David said, “She’s fine.” I layed my head back on the pillow expecting the pain to stop now that she was out of me and in David’s arms being cleaned off. But it didn’t. I turned over and threw up more blood. Keith grabbed my shoulder so that I didn’t fall off the bed, “Dad! Ariel’s still hurting and throwing up blood!” David came over and started examining me. I layed back and wiped my mouth. I was panting now. I said, “Keith.” He came up to me and touched my face, “What is it baby?” I panted, “I love you.” He smiled, “I love you too. But don’t worry. You’re going to be okay.” David said, “I don’t know what’s wrong. Why she’s still throwing up blood or in pain.” I shook my head, “I’m not in pain anymore. Just tired.”

David said, “Keith. You may have to change her to keep her alive.” I said, “I’m not dying. I’m just tired. I need to sleep.” Keith stared at me, “How do you know?” I answered, “Because I can feel it. I’m just tired.” He sighed and covered me up with the blanket. He asked, “Ariel. Do you want me to change you right now?” I reached up and touched his face, “Only if you want to. You already know I’m ready.” Keith looked at David, “If I don’t stop . . .” “I’ll stop you. Don’t worry.” But he was too late. I could feel myself slipping. I closed my eyes and was unconscious.

When I woke up I was in my room in bed. I was in a pair of shorts and a tank top. I sat up . . . Ow. My stomach was sore. I called, “Keith!” He was by my side in a flash, “Hey. You’re awake.” I nodded, “Yeah. And sore. Where’s the baby?” “She’s downstairs being spoiled. You had us all worried. You’ve been out for a week. It’s July 4th.” I frowned, “Really?” He nodded, “Yeah. I was about to change you when you went unconscious.” I smiled and hugged him, “I love you.” He laughed, “I love you too. Do you want anything? Something to drink? Eat?” I asked, “How about you take me down to see our daughter?” He chuckled and picked me up, “Okay. But I’m getting you something to eat and drink afterwards.

When we went downstairs there was no one in the living room. I frowned, “Where is everyone?” “In the kitchen. I’ll go get them. They were feeding Ella. I hope you like the name. I couldn’t wait until you woke up. She needed a name.” I smiled, “It’s perfect.”
He put me down on the couch and went into the kitchen. He was back out in a flash with everyone else. They all smiled and were happy to see me. I smiled. But I wasn’t smiling at them. I was smiling at the baby that Keith held in his arms.

She had beautiful blond curls that reached her chin. And her eyes were blue like her daddy’s. She looked like a five month old baby instead of a week old baby. I asked, “Are you sure I wasn’t out for five months? She’s so big.” He nodded, “She’s growing fast. At this rate she’ll be as big as a one year old in no time.” I held my arms out for her, “Let me hold her.” He cautioned, “She’s in a biting stage. She’s not venomous though.” I said, “I don’t care. Just give her to me.” He smiled and handed her to me. I smiled looking down at her. “Ella Shades. Sounds perfect. Just like her. I love you.” I leaned down and kissed her cheek. She smiled at me. And my face turned to shock. She had beautiful dimples and her teeth were perfect and white. Keith asked, “How special is she?” I smiled, “She’s the most prettiest baby in the world.” I hugged her and it looked like she was going to kiss my neck but she bit me. I bit down so that I wouldn’t make a noise. I didn’t want to scare her.

Keith took her out of my arms. I sighed and held my neck where she bit me. David came over and started working on my neck. I needed stitches. Keith asked, “Are you okay?” I smiled, “Never been better. She’s so adorable.” He laughed, “You ‘would’ only be thinking about her.” I smiled even wider, “How can I not think about her right now?” “How about the pain in your neck?” I shook my head, “Doesn’t bother me while I’m watching her.”

When my neck was stitched up and had a bandage on it I held my arms out, “I wanna hold her.” Keith lifted one brow, “She just bit you. She tasted your blood. It’s probably not the best of ideas. You should probably eat something.” I rolled my eyes, “I’ve been out for
