Flutterbat's POV

"Norman, I uhh, I'm going to the family doctor today" I said as I pulled up my skirt.

"The doctors? And you didn't tell me?" He sounded very confused.

"I'm sorry; I just wanted to go and I didn't want you to worry about me" I floated and sat down next to him, where he was sitting on the bed and put my hand on my knee.

"I'm coming." He grabbed his shirt.

I nodded simply as we entered the Royal Limousine and headed over to the Hospital, I looked up at the dark red clouds floating above my head, I sighed heavily.

"How are you feeling?" Norman asked while slowly rubbing my enlarged belly, it was now approximately four months into my pregnancy, and we still couldn't figure out a name to give our baby.

"I feel fuzzy and a bit tired." I said shaking my head. I was pretty desperate to go to the hospital immediately, I could feel so light kicks inside my stomach.
********************************

I was growing more and more nervous, why was I like that?! Doctor Luciska was so quiet I could hear the hands on the clock ticking over, that mixed with the furious typing and babies crying in the room next to us, that was really starting to bug me, it was driving me crazy. The ticking was getting louder and louder, over powering all other noises that were in the room. I could feel the baby in my stomach tighten and loosen up every five minutes, Norman held my hand as we were waiting in silence.

She then broke the silence, "Open your mouth your Highness," Doctor Luciska said politely, I did what I was told, she placed the stick thing on my tongue and flashed a light in my mouth, she poked my fangs and nodded happily.

"Your ears and mouth look perfectly fine" She said casually typing things on my file, Norman and I had a sigh of relief, she fiddled with her pencil.

"Alright Princess." Doctor Luciska said as I sat on the bed. "I know you had an ultrasound a while back, but since you're further along you will get to see a clearer picture of your baby."

I smiled at her, my arms around my stomach. I let myself fall back, lifting my shirt. Norman was on my side continuing to hold my hand as we looked at the machine on the right. The doctor took out a bottle with a gel like solution after she prepared the machine.

"It's going to be cold." She warned as I nodded to continue.

She lathered the substance on my stomach and I cringed as the coldness made me shudder all over my body, I continually hold Norman's hand, almost crushing his bones on the inside, but he didn't care. He removed a strand of my light pink hair from my face as we looked at the screen. "Before we begin, I've been doing more tests and... do you guys want to know the gender of the baby?" She asked.

I looked at Norman, squeezing his hand. "We do, Doctor," I said with a bright smile. We were going to see our baby.

"We can't always tell or be totally accurate, but I'll try." She said beginning the procedure.

At first the screen was a bit fuzzy, and it was hard to tell just what we were looking at. "There we go," Luciska said as the picture came into view.

There was a few minutes of silence, and I found myself staring at our baby, we could hear thumping coming from my womb, we couldn't belive what we were seeing and hearing.

"There's the head, the eyes, nose, and mouth." Doctor Luciska began to point out as a smile grew on Norman's face.

"That's our little Vampire." Norman whispered, my breathed hitched and I reached my freehand to touch the screen, our baby was curled up in a ball.

"It is." I responded back, tears escaping my eyes. Norman kissed my ring finger and nuzzled my neck, causing my cheeks to brighten.

Doctor Luciska worked in silence for a few minutes as she enjoyed out embrace, my eyes never leaving the screen. He or she was so beautiful, and I couldn't wait to have him or her in my own arms the moment I give birth, which I knew was going to be a painful experience, but nothing mattered then to have our child with us.

"I'm sorry Princess, it seems you have a very modest baby." She said with a chuckle. "Apparently he or she wants to be a surprise."

"You can't tell?" Norman Questioned.

"You can see his or her leg is covering." She said pointing out causing me to laugh. After I had spent we had spent months in contemplation, our offspring had decided for us. "But I can say that the baby is in perfect health and is looking to get his or her wings very quickly, and he or she is just under six inches long and about seven ounces. Perfectly normal weight your Majesty." She handed me a picture printout.

"I'll give you time to yourself, and get you a few more pictures to take home, I'm sure the queen would be very happy to see this" She added with a wink.

"Thank you Doctor." Norman said with a heartfelt smile, she bowed simply and we left the hospital.

"I guess he or she decided for us." I said as I looked at the picture in my hand laughing, I couldn't stop gazing upon it, we entered the Limousine and headed straight to the royal mansion.

"He or she will definitely have my bad habit." Norman suddenly said as I looked at him.

"What bad habit?" I said raising my eyebrow wanting to know what he had to say.

"I used to suck my thumb as a human child." Norman revealed, causing me to laugh, I decided to share my little secret with him.

"As soon as I finished absorbing an apple, I kept it under my bed when I was a little girl."

"How long was that?" He asked me, I twiddled my thumbs under my chest.

"1900 years ago..." I said quietly, Norman's mouth dropped.

"Jeez, your ancient." Norman said, impressed by how old I am.

"I'm not that old..." I added blushing and then we laughed, during our embrace my stomach began to growl, I turned to Norman, he knew what this meant, he gulped and heeded me.

"Norman, can you give me one little apple, inside my bag." I asked politely,

"Hmmm, what about apple sauce."

I looked at him and then hissed loudly, causing him to shudder with fear.

"OKAY OKAY! Apples it is my lady!" Norman quickly reached into my bag, instead of bringing one apple he brought out two shiny red apples, I hissed lowly and began to suck and absorb their color, Norman narrowed his eyes still fearful, I laughed and then nuzzled his arm, I know I felt a little bit dramatic, but pregnancy hormones can do that to a Princess.
