Chapter one

Vicki woke up disoriented her head was pounding, "Where am I?" she muttered. As she tried to sit up she realized there was an arm around her waist. "No." She whispered. She looked over at Mikes naked sleeping form. The events of last night came rushing back to her.

"Vicki I have something to tell you." Henry stood outside her door.

"Where were you today the guy at the desk said you didn't live in the flat anymore." Vicki replied pushing up her glasses. "I wanted to see you after last night."

"I'm leaving Vicki." He said quietly.

"Oh well I guess I'll have to tell Coreen to look after the business until we come back." Vicki looked around her office.

"No, I'm leaving. Just me. I cant stay with you Vicki." He said.

"No! Henry you cant leave me." She cried.

"I cant watch you die, I cant feel the urge to turn you, I couldn't bear wanting to kill you." He said touching her face. She backed away.

"No, Henry it wouldn't be like that. You're stronger than that." Vicki whispered.

"I don't know that." His grey eyes stared into hers. "I'm sorry Vicki."

"So last night was a booty call? You wanted me before you left?" She screamed angrily.

"No it was goodbye!" he replied.

"You used me!" she screamed, his eyes flashed dark.

"I'm sorry Vicki, Someday we will meet again."

And he was gone. He'd left her all alone. And so she'd started drinking and Coreen had called Mike. Bad idea. Bad Chinese food and bad beer, and revenge sex. Lonely love, and now a mistake. Vicki climbed slowly and quietly out of the bed. Mike didn't stir as she slipped on her clothes and fled to her office bedroom. She hugged her knees to her chest, and cried. Henry was gone, she'd just made the biggest mistake of her life with Mike, and She had a huge Hang over. Later in the afternoon, Coreen knocked on the door.

"I know your in there."

"Yeah so do I." Vicki replied sourly. Coreen came in holding a cup of coffee and a muffin.

"Here, I went by Mikes and he was um, yeah." Coreen said blushing she knew.

"I don't want to talk about it Coreen." She saw the look on her friends face, itching to question it all.

"You should take a vacation." Coreen suggested not caring whether Vicki tore her head off.

"Where the hell would I go?" Vicki snarled.

"Um Maine? In America rent a little cottage and like go on a road trip." Coreen said.

"Fine but Mike knows nothing." Vicki said shoving Coreen out of the room.

A few weeks later

Vicki was lounging on a porch swing staring out at the atlantic ocean. When suddenly a wave of nausea over came her. She vomited over the railing of the porch.

"What the hell?" she muttered. Memories of Henry and of Mike came rushing back.

"No, Oh my god!" She rushed inside the cottage. And Dialed Coreen,

"I need help."

"What?" Coreen said groggily.

"Im pregnant I think."

"WHAT!"

"I'll call you back." She hung up. After running to the store and staring at the pregnancy test rack, and old woman walked up to her.

"You know you have to take it home for it to work deary." Vicki blushed and grabbed one.

"Oh This is your first time deary, Well if it works out well conragtualtions. He's a lucky man."

"If he knew who he was." Vicki thought fakely smiling at the woman before paying at the register. A few hours later Vicki's world fell apart again.

"Mom?" She said quietly on the phone.

"Yes dear?"

"I'm pregnant." She said, there was a silence.

"Who's the father?" Her mother replied.

"I don't know, well I don't I just don't know which one it is, and one of them left me and I don't think he'll answer his phone and um Mom, I'm scared." Vicky said.

"Come home, honey, I'll help you."

"I don't think I can mom, I have to find the father first." Vicki hung up the phone and called Mike, She had serious explaining to do.

"Hi." She said,

"VICKI! WHERE ARE YOU COREEN WONT TELL ME ANYTHING!" he cried.

"I'm pregnant and in Maine." She said scratching the top of her head.

"What?" Mike quieted down.

"Vicki why didn't you tell me sooner, I would have been there, I'm going to be there." He said.

"I know I Mike I was with Henry too, the night before he left, I Mike it might not be yours." Vicki said.

"He's a vampire of course its mine." Mike retorted.

"Mike I'm not sure I um Vampire can have children with their soul mates. I um Coreen did some research underground, and Mike I'm sorry you're my bestfriend I so sorry." Vicki wiped tears from her eyes, Mike could hear it in her voice.

"Come home Vicki, if it's not mine I don't care and I don't care if you love me, I'll be by your side until Fitzroy comes back." Mike said, Vicki finally started crying.

Six Months Later

"VICKI!" The voice on the phone screamed.

"What? God Coreen why are you so awake?" Vicki growled groggily.

"I think I found him, He is France I'll find him Vicki." Coreen had "volunteered" to travel Europe to hunt down Henry.

"WHAT? Coreen stop yelled go to france and find him I don't know if she's his but if she is she'll need him." Vicki thought back to the possibility of her being half vampire. The phone clicked off, Vicki struggled to sit up "MIKE" She flopped backwards onto the bed.

"You cant get up can you?" He grinned.

"Don't make me beat you." She threatened, he pulled her up to sitting position.

"It's three am why don't you go back to bed?" He suggested.

"Coreen said he's in france." Vicki whispered.

In France….Somewhere

"HENRY!" Coreen screamed across the street at a familiar nightwalker who turned around startled. Suddenly he was by her side.

"Coreen?" He asked.

"Henry!" She shrieked and threw her arms around his neck.

"Why are you here?" he asked as the strolled through the streets of France.

"Vicki needs you to come home." Coreen said.

"I cant, If I go I might not be able to keep from turning her, I don't want to kill her." Henry said stopping her under a street lamp.

"Henry you might be Her soul mate which means you wouldn't have the urge to kill her." Coreen said.

"What do you mean by might?" He asked his eyes narrowing.

"Well Vicki is pregnant and um it might be yours, or it might be mikes." Coreen said sheepishly. Henry stayed silent.

"I might be a father?" He asked. Coreen smiled and knodded.

"Lets go home." He said taking her by the arm and walking to the nearest air port while chatting on the phone with various people.

"Vicki?" he said.

"I'm coming home."
