MICHAEL — HALFVAMPIREHALFLYCAN.

Michael’s brain temporarily froze as he realized what Selene said. It was stupid. He wasn’t a teenager anymore, and it wasn’t like he and Selene hadn’t had sex before, the fact that she was pregnant was enough to prove that. Yet, questions like that still caught the hybrid by surprise. “Of course, Selene, whatever you want.” He realized how stupid he must have sounded, but he really didn’t think everything through. “I can teach you anything you’d like to know.” 

          because of their life until now, however, sex has always only been a luxury. they didn’t have time before, and even now they found themselves too busy to indulge in such pleasures, but selene’s hormones have made themselves far more persistent, rendering it IMPOSSIBLE to ignore. thus, it’s why she’s talking him up now. after all, they have the freedom to pleasure one another without fear of being caught and punished. arms still around his neck, hands settling in his hair, she leans in to kiss him gently.   ❛ how can i want to know something if i don’t know it? ❜   another kiss is pressed to michael’s pout, a moan following before her forehead presses against his and lips leave his own.   ❛ how about you just take care of me tonight, hmm? ❜

EVE — NOMCTHER.

Eve smiles back at her, mulling over the question briefly. “Hmmn…black forest cake, if that’s alright Mother.” She answered, feeling her excitement well up for her birthday. 

She loved to celebrate it, and the effort her parents put into it. She loved and was grateful for all of it. For the first time, Eve was having a party for her birthday, inviting the vampires she’d befriended.

          ❛ of course that’s alright, darling. tomorrow is your day, and you’ll be getting anything you want. ❜   well, within reason. to keep the conversation up, though, selene speaks again.   ❛ and what of dinner tonight? i was thinking about steak… your father can manage to eat that, and i know you like it — when we don’t eat it every night of the week. ❜   she’ll chuckle, for michael is able to eat the meat only when it is rare and bloody; selene doesn’t mind preparing the meal for her family, even though she herself can’t consume it herself.

EVE — NOMCTHER.

Eve came bounding into the kitchen, smiling happily at her mother. She’d grown up well in america, able to control her abilities and cravings perfectly. She was even able to go to school like the human children.

“Yes Mother?” She asked with a cheerful tone, perching up on the counter. “Is there something you’d like me to do?”

          smiling widely as her daughter enters the room, selene turns her attention to the younger girl.   ❛ no, i just have a few questions. — what kind of cake do you want for tomorrow? ❜   it’s almost a relief eve is able to eat both human food and drink blood, for it makes michael and her own lives a bit easier.

          ❛ eve! can you come to the kitchen, please? ❜   many changes have been made over the past twelve years to keep their lives, their true lives, a secret and to give their daughter a normal upbringing. lucky for the immortal family, such a feat has been reachable for them, said child’s birthday the next day; it’s why selene has called for eve to join her.

MICHAEL — HALFVAMPIREHALFLYCAN.

Michael’s eyes widened, startled by her sudden revelation that she had invited his parents over for dinner, without even asking him. He knew that she had grown attached to them, but this was a little much, especially since neither of them could really eat human food. He wondered what she was planning because of that. “If it’s attention you want, it’s attention you shall have.” He grinned and lifted her up with ease, hoping she would catch on and wrap her legs around him. He pressed their lips together again, pulling her to the couch. 

          ❛ mm… perfect. ❜   she hums in approval, legs wrapping easily around her mate’s waist as their lips meet yet again. however, their topic of conversation continues.   ❛ and i know you think i’m crazy for inviting them over for dinner… but it’s been over a week since we’ve seen them. we’ll work around eating the actual food. ❜   she’s smarter than most give her credit for, and it’s the main reason she’s survived as long as she has. kissing michael yet again, selene DARES to nip and tug at his lower lip before pressing her own back against his until pulling away as she’s laid down on the couch.   ❛ you sure you’re not too tired? ❜   she isn’t teasing him, simply making sure her mate is in the mood; it’s a two way street.

MICHAEL — HALFVAMPIREHALFLYCAN.

“Mm, maybe I could take a day or two off. Call in sick, that way I can save up my vacation days for a little closer to when the baby is born.” He was saving the vacation days for when their baby was due, that way, he could ensure that he would be home for her through that time. He didn’t show it, but he was worried. He didn’t know how birth would be for his mate, especially since their baby was a hybrid. He kept those fears for himself. “Whatever you say, anything for the mother of my baby.” He pressed their lips together in a passionate kiss. 

          ❛ sounds good to me. i always knew you were a smart man. ❜   selene praises his response, grinning just seconds before their lips meet.   ❛ you know… i invited your parents over for dinner tonight. —— they’ll be here in a few hours, so if you’re planning on giving me attention, you should get to it. ❜   the vampire steals another kiss. ever since they’d moved to america and reconnected with michael’s family, selene had practically latched onto them… having been without her own for centuries, it’s hard to stop herself.

MICHAEL — HALFVAMPIREHALFLYCAN.

Michael’s thumb rubbed her belly, thinking about how it was their kid growing there. How he was finally going to be a father. It was enough to make him the happiest man on the earth. “I’m a little worn down, if I’m honest.” He knew Selene would be able to see right through him if he lied to her, so he figured the truth would be better. “I think I’m starting to overwork myself.” They needed the money for their baby, but it left him constantly tired and not always entirely focused because he was in a daze. 

          ❛ then maybe you should look into taking some time off… i know you have at least a few days of vacation saved up since you started working again. ❜   selene offers, arms still draped about his neck as they stand in one another’s arms.   ❛ tend to me a little. — i’m the mother of your child, after all. ❜   is her extended reasoning, unable to completely hide the grin gracing her nude lips now.

MICHAEL — HALFVAMPIREHALFLYCAN.

Michael laughed and brushed her hair away from her face, amused by the way she had slowly started learning the culture they now surrounded themselves with. “I think I can.” He grinned before pulling her into a soft kiss. He pulled back to rest his forehead upon hers. “But let’s not put that theory to the test, okay?” He laughed again, before moving a hand between them to rest on her stomach. “You feeling alright today?” He knew it had been a while since morning sickness had been a problem, but he always asked if she was doing alright. He was grateful to have his family so close. He knew he could count on them if either of them ever felt lost during the pregnancy. 

          the kiss is returned without hesitation, a smile even on her pout following his comments as their lips meet. when michael pulls away, however, the vampire is more than content to relax against him. face lighting up ever so slightly at the shift of his hand to settle on her covered belly, she’ll nod.   ❛ i am. are you? ❜   leaning away just enough to meet his gentle gaze, selene furrows her brows slightly; she wants an honest answer. he’s stressed lately, working all hours some days.

MICHAEL — HALFVAMPIREHALFLYCAN.

Michael had been caught off guard by the question brought up to him by Selene about dying her hair. He had been hesitant on saying yes, but she was past the twelve week mark on her pregnancy, so he told her to pick the dye carefully. He even helped her to the best of his ability, pick out a brand that had the least potential to harm their baby. His heart was hammering wildly in his chest as he looked upon his mate with her newly colored hair. She was gorgeous, in every meaning of the word. He walked over to her, arms snaking around her to pull her as close as possible. He had noticed a small bump forming on her belly where their baby was growing, but it wasn’t large enough yet to prevent him from doing this. “You look amazing, Selene.” He reassured her, nothing but love and adoration in his eyes. 

          his initial silence is worrisome, but when michael approaches her and wraps his arms around her, selene can’t help but to relax. draping her arms about his neck in return, a soft sigh and wrinkle of her nose follow.   ❛ could you be any more cheesy, michael? ❜   she teases lightly, the vampire having immersed herself in the american culture, including common phrases and terms, such as what she’s just said. selene has also learned new ways of conveying emotions, and having michael’s family around them more often helps; she hasn’t had a family of her own in over six centuries.

          ❛ be honest, michael… do you think this hair color fits me? ❜   they’ve been in america for nearly four months now, have reconnected with michael’s family, and have found a home. but in order for them to fit in a bit better, certain measures must be taken; this is one of them. and of course she’d made sure to ask michael if dying her hair during pregnancy was safe: once you’ve reached twelve weeks, though not necessarily encouraged, it’s not harmful. standing before her mate, an almost worried look about her, she waits for an answer.
