CHAPTER ELEVEN

“This is the first I have heard of this. Have you spoken to Ardo?”

“Yes, he is flying out in the next few days. He said he had seen it twice before, usually with humans that were ill before the change and receiving vampire blood then.”

“I have delivered three vampire babies in 1800 years, and this is the first hybrid child. I am very interested. I suppose you are prepared for multiple visitors? I hear your home is quite exquisite.”

“Of course, Salvador. I have around eight guest rooms, more than enough to provide adequate arrangements.”

“What of lighting? You know I am very weakened, but Salvador can barely tolerate the smallest exposure anymore.”

“That is not an issue. I assure you.”

“Very well, Druian, I will have equipment showing up tomorrow morning that will need to be set up in a room. Do you have a sterile environment for the end term or will we be using a facility?”

“I will have a room prepared. There are circumstances that make this situation…delicate.”

“Ah yes, the government protocols. I will see you in two days’ time, Druian.”

“I look forward to the reunion, Salvador.”

Dru hung up the phone and immediately called one of the local contractors he knew of that specialized in discretion and jobs that required specific technical skills. By paying triple, the men would begin working to renovate one of his rooms within three hours. Dru asked them to park in the back where the entrance to the cellar was.

The majority of the rooms down there were used for his wine cellar and his blood storage area. There was a good third of the basement that was nothing but rock and concrete. Now a portion of that was going to be changed into a miniature medical station.

Sighing, Dru sat back in the chair, rubbing his brow. Even after all of these years, he supposed the body knew when it should have been getting a headache. His emotions were all over the place. He had gone from no longer feeling anything to feeling more than he knew what to deal with. He had found someone that he loved more than he understood. He dealt with the emotions of falling in love with her as she was dying, unsure if she would make the decision in time to save her.

Then he did and was able to finish it in time and had the moment of pure joy only to have the confusion of the pregnancy, a mix of fear and unbelievable surprise. He had never had children, had never thought about having children, and now he was going to have two. Although he wanted to be happy, his fear of what would happen was growing.

Having Tara be an illegal vampire was going to come with some difficulties, but keeping the birth of two vampire children was going to be near impossible to keep from them. One wrong person, wrong call or email, anything, would put them on the radar and risk the authorities coming after Tara.

“Did you make your calls?”

Looking up at Tara, he felt himself pause in momentary bafflement.
