Bloody dreams of you

"I am happy with Thibault." she said. Cassia smiled softly as Harriet's kind words. "Thank you. Yes I am lucky I guess but it was Thiabult that saved me." she said. "Thank you I would appreciate it." she said. She nodded listening to the history of the coven. "That's fascinating." she said. She would have loved to be in a coven. She was pretty sure Harriet's family coven would have been like hers. She smiled softly wishing more and more to find out more about her coven. She wanted to visit where it had all happened but they couldn't do that right now, they where working. "So enough about my traumatic past." she chuckled blushing softly. "Rosemarie tell me more about yourself. You seem shy but surely there is more to you than that." Cassia said smiling softly.

Zane gave a nod and a small smile. "Thank you Thibault. It means a lot to have your backing." he said. "The other council members are joining you in a few days right?" he asked. He knew the strain of having more vampires in the house would put him and therefore Rosemarie on edge which was not good for the baby. There was nothing to be done about it though. They needed to be evaluated to see if they could be parents of a hunger free vampire baby.

(I'm going to skip ahead to after dinner, hope that's alright with you!)

Rosemarie hand loved having dinner with Harriet and Cassia, even if she'd let her midwife do most of the talking. It was nice to get to know someone else, especially someone who was also bonded to a vampire and who would understand some of the things she went through and felt. It wasn't long after dessert where she started to feel tired and they decided to call it a night, thanking Cassia for coming to dinner and saying she hoped they'd get to spend more time soon before Harriet helped Rosemarie back to her room and doing one last check up before leaving her to get settled for the night, the midwife sending a quick note to Zane to let him know that they were finished with dinner and that Rosemarie was safely in her room. Once Harriet was gone Rosemarie decided she was going to try to get changed into her pajamas all by herself, which proved to be quite difficult, and she'd barely even managed to get her shoes off by the time Zane returned from dinner.

---

After sending the note off to Zane Harriet hurried back to her room, hoping Celtin wouldn't be too long, although she also knew that the tide was supposed to be coming in about now, which meant he'd likely be tempted to be out on the waves. Stifling a yawn she tidied up her supplies and rechecked the delivery supplies again, knowing it would be days not weeks before Rosemarie's baby was born.

---

Thibault had enjoyed spending time with the other two vampires, feeling rather comfortable in their presence despite his usual avoidance of his own kind. He'd informed Zane as much as he could about the council members that were going to be arriving in a few days time to supervise the birth of the baby and make the decision on whether or not they'd be allowed to keep it, although he also made it clear that his recommendation to them would be that they'd be perfectly fit parents and would be able to successfully raise the child, although he wasn't sure how much sway his recommendation would hold. He returned to his and Cassia's room, humming as he walked, and smiled when he saw his bond returning as well. "Did you have a good time my love?"

Zane got the note and smiled saying goodnight to the guys. Celtin chuckled. "Yeah the missus is calling." he teased and Zane flicked him off laughing as he left. Celtin chuckled. Zane headed up the stairs to his room to spend time with his bond before she was too tired to spend the time with him. He slipped into the room grinning. "Hey gorgeous how was dinner?" he asked her as he walked over and kicked off his shoes. He pulled off his shirt and crawled into the bed with her. He grinned as he pulled her into him gently setting her against him to make her most comfortable.

---

Celtin loved to tease Zane. He looked over at Thibault and smiled. "Well I hear my own calling." he said feeling the itch to follow the tides. He rubbed his neck knowing Harriet was likely waiting for him but he didn't want to be distracted with her. She knew where he would be. He might be on the water a lot but she would always know where to find him. He headed out getting in his car and driving down to the water.

---

Cassia was just heading back to her room whens he saw Thibault and beamed. "Hey handsome." she said and walked over to him wrapping her arm over his neck leaning up to kiss him. Her other hand ran up his chest and she hummed as their lips met. She pulled back after a moment. "How was dinner? Did you end up with the boys?" she asked him.

@ Jinx...

Rosemarie smiled as she saw Zane come in, giving up on trying to change now that he was here, knowing he'd be able to help. She giggled as he pulled her into bed with him, leaning back into his arms happily. "It was good. Cassia seems like a nice person. She speaks very highly of Thibault." She said, stifling a little yawn. They'd spent so little time together recently, and all she wanted to do until the baby came was stay locked up in this room with him so she could have him and their daughter to herself, but she knew that wasn't possible. "Will you help me with my pajamas? I could t get undressed when I tried, I'm too big and tired."

---

Harriet was a little disappointed when Celtin didn't come to her room like they'd planned, although she knew she couldn't blame him when the ocean was calling to him. For a few minutes she gazed out the window, considering climbing out and flying to the beach where she knew he'd be, but she was absolutely exhausted, and knew she needed her rest. She did scribble a quick note to him though letting him know she wasn't mad at him for breaking their plans, and promised to return his shirt to him the next day. Once that was sent off she got ready for bed, climbing into the very comfortable bed, which she was tempted to ask Zane if she could keep, falling asleep fairly quickly.

---

Thibault smiled at her as she ran her hand over his chest, wrapping an arm around her waist as he pulled her close while they finished walking to their room. "Dinner was good. It was nice to get to know Zane and Celtin a bit better, and I look forward to meeting Rosemarie tomorrow. I can sense that the baby is going to come soon, although I don't know when, so it's important that I meet with her before she goes into labor to assess whether she can handle this." He explained, shutting the door behind them once they reached their room.

@ katahdin
Zane nodded as she spoke. He smiled glad that she had a good time. He nodded knowing Cassia and Thibault where very close and he believed them to be good people. He chuckled as she said she needed help. "Of course love." he said and got up helping her undress. He got her cloths and some oil. He rubbed her belly with the oil and then her shoulders. He made sure she felt nice and relaxed before helping her dress. He grinned and kissed her softly. He couldn't wait for her to be back to normal and to meet his daughter.

---

Celtin came back cutting it close tot he sun coming up. He dried off feeling relaxed as he moved into the house. He slipped into Harriet's room knowing she was asleep. He read the note and smiled. He knew she was the one when she knew the ocean called him. Celtin moved over kissing her head writing a quick note back. You can keep my shirt and return it when we can have a night to ourselves. He smirked knowing he was looking forward to her being his bond. He wanted to stay but knew it was safer for him to stay in his own room. He wanted her too much for now.

---

Cassia nodded. "She can handle it. This is all she has ever wanted. This was the dream she gave up to bond with Zane." she said and smiled softly as they got into their room. She slipped out of her shoes and started to undress. "After the baby comes I want to meet with Harriet's coven. They might have some useful things for me to learn." she said. She wondered if Zane could tell she wished she had a coven. She wanted people that understood her need for magic, and knew how to help her through a spell or come up with new ones like she was trying to do now. She was trying to find a way to live forever for Thibault.
