«Jacey… I'm pregnant with our child,» she murmurs with a radiant smile, taking my hand in hers and pressing it to her belly.
Tears of joy stream from her eyes like rivers, and her eyes shine with happiness.
«O-Our child…» I repeat weakly, my voice trembling.
Veronica… is she really carrying my child in her womb? Is that really possible? I'm a vampire, she's human… I had never imagined our two species could conceive. I should ask someone who could confirm it with certainty, and unfortunately only John comes to mind… even though the thought of his answer terrifies me.
If the answer were no… it would mean the baby isn't mine. And if that were the case… what should I do? Pretend I don't know she's pregnant with another man's child? Ask for a DNA test? Veronica wouldn't take that well. But I can't exactly raise a child knowing it isn't mine…
Raising a child…
If it weren't mine, it would piss me off. But if it was…?
