"So, baby girl, what are you doing this morning while the boys and I are sleeping?" Brian asked, caressing Stephanie's smooth hips softly. She yawned against his chest and looked up at him.
"Well since you guys are going to be in the basement all day, I thought I'd clean the house a bit and Theresa and I could do something around here." Stephanie said, then kissed along his smooth jaw, brushing his lips softly.
"Well, we still have an hour of night left. So…" He kissed her lips sweetly and pulled her body closer to his. "I was thinking, baby names. How about Ashley?"
Stephanie looked up at him, arched her brown eyebrow and laughed. "Um, no, too common. I like the name Tyler, but we gotta come up with one together."
"We have all the time we need. So, Angel are you feeling okay?"
"That's it! What about Angel?" She asked, smiling at her idea.
"It's pretty good. And it works for a boy or girl. It's perfect." Brian slid his body down to her stomach and kissed it softly. "Hear that, Angel. You're gonna be our little Angel."

"I know sunlight kills us, and lack or a tremendous loss of blood. Like not eating within so many weeks. But the only case of loss of blood was a decapitation. And if our heart is cut out, that can kill us, though, that's pretty difficult to do. But you don't want to hear all the gross details so… Next question?" Aj watched her yawn and stretch her endowed body.
"Is it true there are vampire hunters?"
"Yes, but if they are not trained well enough or are greatly out numbered they die quickly, and usually very painfully. I think to this day there are only a few left. I'm not sure how they are made, but they have the strength of a vampire. I have not met one personally but, I do know they exist, and they would like to make our species extinct." Aj answered, "I've been told that you can sense their presence, but I've never so, I don't know if that is true…"
"Is there any way to change you back to what you were before?" Theresa murmured softly, not sure why she was asking.
"You have to kill the start of the evil. The one who made you or the one who made them as far back as you like to go. But our maker is stronger than the five of us put together, mental and physically. There is no way to get to him and he could easily kill anyone who will try." She actually felt him shiver and wondered if there was someway to help.
"Oh, well. I guess we had better get up and you better head to the basement. I'll see you at sunset, my love." Theresa rose from the bed and began to dress, feeling Aj's sensual eyes follow her every move.

"What time will she be here?" Theresa asked, propping her feet up onto the coffee table.
"In about 40 minutes." Stephanie collapsed next to her friend. "I seriously hope this goes okay. I mean, what if something happens and the guys…"
"We'll get her out in time. Nothing will happen just relax."
***~~**~~***
Lisa showed up right on time, wearing a pair of faded jeans and a black baby doll tee shirt under a black leather jacket that reached her thighs left unbuttoned.
"Hey girlie, come on in." Theresa opened the door, letting the tall brunette into the house. They both headed for the living room to find Stephanie ready with some drinks.
Lisa and Stephanie hugged slightly and sat down. No one spoke for the longest time, they just sipped their drinks. Theresa, not being one to handle silence well, started off the conversation.
"So, Lisa, how ya been the last couple of days?"
"Oh, pretty good…" she smiled, chewing her fingernails, "Nothing much exciting has happened since you left except that I think Terri's sick, she wasn't at work today…"
Stephanie suddenly jumped off the couch. "Please, excuse me for a minute." She muttered, hurrying upstairs, feeling her stomach churning at the thought of Terri's died body, lifeless on the carpet.
Theresa heard the bathroom door shut and immediately knew what was wrong.
"What was that about?" Lisa asked, worried a little about her friend.
"Oh, she's just been a little sick lately." Theresa answered quickly, listening to the toilet flush upstairs.
"She looked like it the other day. She was so pale. And so are you, what happened, do these guys like lock ya up and make ya their slaves or something?" She asked, gulping down some of her drink.
"Well, no, of course we're not their slaves. But Stephanie, was so pale yesterday, because she found out she was pregnant."
Lisa's jaw dropped. "She's what? She was a virgin the last time I saw her. When did all this shit happen? Jezz I let you guys go away for about a week and innocent little Steph is pregnant and you're some guy's little sex-slave." She mumbled, watching Stephanie walk back down the stairs.
"So anyway…" Theresa started until she was cut off by Lisa.
"What has honestly happen to you guys? I mean, you two are not the kind of people to neglect their friend. Why haven't you guys been out at all? Are these guys like making you give up all your friends so you focus your life mainly on them?"
"No Lisa, they're not. It's just, we've been very busy, getting everything organized here. We didn't mean to leave you, it just so much shit has been happening…" Stephanie started, only to have Lisa interrupt again.
"Yeah, I know I heard! You're pregnant now. How long have you know this guy huh? I mean he could be a run away murderer and you would never know." Lisa began shouting at both of the women.
"Look, this was my decision and if you can't be happy for me and be there with me then please leave now." Stephanie stated, calmly, even though tears were starting to fall from her eyes. Lisa dropped her accusing gaze and stood from the couch. She wrapped her arms around her best friends shaking frame.
"I'm sorry, I'm just worried about you. I mean, dropping everything for a guy you just met." Lisa sighed, breaking the hug to regard her friend.
"Okay, well, now that we got out all that raw emotion, why don't we get off all of these morbid subjects and find something more fun to talk about…" Theresa bounced up to them and gave a big group hug. They all laughed softly and returned to their seats on the couch.
***~~**~~***
"You know, you guys, this house looks extremely familiar. I dreamed about this house. Except, my mom was there and some guy, he had really dark hair, he was tall, and even though I couldn't see his face very well, his eyes stood out. They were green, a really shiny green. Anyway, they are standing in one of the rooms, I'm in the doorway and my mom faints or dies. Then the guy is crying and looks up at me, but he has these two fangs now, and is coming after me. Now I remind you I've only seen one picture of my mom, and that was when I was like nine, then I moved in with Aunt Norma and Uncle Martin, and they never told me anything about her or showed me pictures…" Lisa explained, twirling her dark hair around her fingers.
Theresa shifted in her seat and glanced at Stephanie.
"This guy had green eyes, tall and kinda muscular?" Theresa asked, taking another sip of the strawberry wine they had found in the pantry.
"Yeah, but isn't it weird it was this exact house? I've never been in here before but it feels so familiar." Lisa was silenced by the clock over the fire place chiming the hour. It chimed eight times, suddenly a distant door creaked from the hallway.
"Oh shit. Lisa, Hun, you gotta go, it's past 8. Come on Theresa." Stephanie nearly shouted jumping up from the couch and pushing Lisa hurriedly towards the front door.
"Who the hell is that!" A deep voice rumbled from the hallway.
"Lisa, get out of here now." Theresa screeched, stepping in the way of whoever was there. Stephanie joined her quickly and watched Kevin step from the shadows.
"I said, who the fuck is there!" Kevin's baritone voice thundered throughout the house, surely waking the others. Lisa turned around the to see this guy who was acting so furious. Kevin's face suddenly changed emotions. "Alicia! My God, Alicia."
Kevin seemed to charge forward, but Stephanie and Theresa tried to block his way. It took a simple shove to move them out of his way. He pulled Lisa into his strong embrace, lifting her from the ground.
"My Alicia came back to me." He buried his face in her smooth brown hair lovingly. All of the sudden, Lisa kicked him in the gut causing him to drop her and clutch his stomach. She instantaneously pulled a thick switchblade from her jacket and pulled him up by his hair.
"Don't move, Vampire. And if you say my mother's name again, I'll make you die slowly. I can take your heart out in a matter of seconds if you make me." She hissed, laying the cold steel against chest. An unexpected force suddenly knocked her away from Kevin and back into the door, now pushing the knife against her throat.
"Now, don't you move, Huntress, or you'll die even slower and more painful than you could ever imagine." A tall blond spat against her cheek. Kevin rose from the floor and pulled Nick from over Lisa.
"Don't touch her. Alicia, I'm so sorry. Oh thank God your back with me. I thought you were dead."
"What the fuck did I tell you about saying my mother's name!" Lisa screamed, searching for her dagger again.
"But, that is your name, you're my love, Alicia. But you were dead and now you're back." Kevin smiled sincerely, wanting so badly to reach out and caress her face.
"Kevin, that isn't Alicia, her name is Lisa." Stephanie said quietly, trying to stand from the earlier shove.
"No, no, no. She's my Alicia. The doctors said you and my daughter died but you came back to me!" He nearly hugged her again, but Lisa pressed herself against the front door, holding her switchblade tightly.
"My mother died while having me and my father abandoned me." Lisa whispered, staring at the man before her.
"You're my baby? My baby is here, she's alive…" Kevin seemed to get lost in his train of thought. He stared back at the mirror image of his beloved Alicia and felt something he had not felt in over 20 years. Scolding hot tears trickled down his face, dripping from his chin to the thick carpet.
"What the hell is going on here!" Aj rumbled from the hallway. All the guys were there now, Brian helping Stephanie away from Kevin.
"I found my daughter." Kevin stated, standing from the carpet and lifted Lisa to her feet.
