Chapter 14

ASHE

I don’t feel as if I’m even in my real body anymore. So much has happened since I moved to Romania and now I’m lying in a bed on a spaceship flying to another star system. And not only that, the man I thought I was in love with turns out to be a vampire. A vampire! Of all things, I have fallen in love with a vampire. I should have known when I made love to him that he wasn’t completely human. He certainly didn’t look or act human. And all the weird things that Radu says now makes perfect sense. This horrendous morning sickness brings everything into focus for me.

My hand goes to my belly where deep within a little baby grows. A little baby that I never thought I would have in a million years. I thought I would die young like my mother and father and I wasn’t going to bring a child into the world. I laugh, sarcastically, as the thought of it is absurd. But this is a baby. A little life. Something that I made with the person I love. Radu, with all his faults, is still the one I want to be with. I’m trying to wrap my head around the fact that he’s a vampire and not human. I’m trying to get over the thought that he could possibly kill me swiftly with no effort whatsoever. I am indeed a weak and fragile human. But deep inside me, our child grows, and it is a part of me and a part of Radu. Certainly, this child grows from love. I inhale deeply, realizing that Radu and I have only had sex twice, on the airplane to Romania, and on our weekend away at Bucharest. My body trembles.

I look at my belly, my hands rub over the small bump. “Little one, are you there? They want me to kill you, to flush you out of my body so that I can survive. But I know myself better than that. Abortion isn’t a consideration. How would I react if I lost this child? I would hate myself for the rest of my life and want to die if that happened. I refuse to face it right now.

A friend of mine in high school got pregnant. She ended up having an abortion and it changed her in so many ways. She grew so depressed and cried every day for years after that. She didn’t want to lose her baby, but she did, and then she thought of herself as a murderer. I don’t want that for me. Even though I’m fragile, even though it might kill me, I can’t in all good conscience get rid of my baby like this.

Radu doesn’t wait too much longer before he returns. He comes to me, his face etched in concern as he sits down beside me.

“I know you asked me to give you some time, but I can’t stand being away from you,” he says to me.
