Looking at Ash, Astrid nodded her head once, then signaled them to pop over to her house.
After they arrived, Astrid slid of her jacket, and threw it onto the largest black couch in her living room. Then, she slowly paced her way to the kitchen to put on a pot her her favorite tea, Earl gray.
The apartment was very modern. The living room consisted of two black leather couches, one smaller then the other, dark rose wood floors, An old fashion fireplace, currently with two small logs burning inside, and a mediocre sized wood coffee table, stained black. The lighting in the room, was very dim, there were a few candles burning in the corners of the room.
The only picture in the room was hanging over the fire place, it was a large picture, that took up most of the wall space in that area, it was a black and white picture of Zarek and herself at their wedding.
The Kitchen, was filled with stainless steel appliances, and once again, dark rose wood floors, Although, the majority of the floor, was occupied by a very expensive Persian rug that Astrid had received as a wedding gift from Talon and his partner. The kitchen table, was just a simple, red wood table surrounded by 4 chairs.
Hearing the sound of the tea kettle screaming, Astrid hurried over to tend to it. Pouring a cup of hot water for herself, she added the tea bag and stirred it around for a moment, Astrid offered a cup to Ash.

Acheron had his hands behind his back as he sauntered into the house,having to duck his head as he walked through the front door.As Astrid shuffled off to do whatever,the vampire casually walked around the room,his silver orbs fixed up at the wedding picture.He remembered that day.They only time he actually saw Zarek nervous.He chuckled lightly at the memory,the psycho vampire's face was pretty red.And Ash got a good swung at for making a 'rude' comment.Actually it wasnt rude at all.Ash was just was simply saying that Zarek should unloosen his tie.
He takes things way to seriously.
The vampire exhaled loudly and heard the tea kettle go off.
"Need any help Astrid?".

Looking up away from her cup of tea, Astrid responded to Ash.
"Nope, everything is fine, did you want any tea? I've got Earl Grey, as well as Indian chai, and some Tetley stuff, decaf."
Astrid drank that tea like there was no tomorrow. Something about the flavor of it just relaxed her. And, she was most likely hooked on the caffeine, who knew that there was more caffeine in one cup of tea, then in a cup of coffee.
Looking over at the clock, it was 8:15, Zarek was a little late, nothing abnormal though, who isn't late every once in a while.

"No Im fine".
Acheron 'floated' into the kitchen.He cocked his head and squinted at his eyes at the nymph.
"I dont think...you should be having caffeine",he muttered,mostly more to himself.He scratched his cheek with one finger and just kept quiet after that.For the one who's been living since the dawn of time,he didnt know to much about kids.
Oh well.
The vampire suddenly moved across the kitchen to 'attend' to the kettle just as Zarek opened the front door.The male heaved a deep sigh as he slid off his fur parka,dropping it to the floor.It went quiet for a few seconds.Then the light steps of boots scuffing the floor drew nearer towards the kitchen.Zarek's dark figure took up much of the doorway,his wide shoulders rolled back as he stepped into the peaceful small room.The air suddenly getting angry.Racking a hand through his onyx locks he pulled the elastic band from his hair,letting his hair tumble from the tie;locks falling onto his shoulders.Dressed in all black,Zarek didnt look to happy right now.Upon seeing Acheron in his house.
Something always bad comes from the vampire before him.
"Greetings Z".
". . . ."

Caught up in her tea making, Astrid didn't quite realize that Zarek had arrived. Nor that Acheron had greeted him.
"Yeah, I suppose you're right, I completely forgot about the baby for a second. I'm really going to have to watch what I eat."
Astrid then, poured her tea down the drain, and emptied the kettle into the sink.
Turning towards Ash, Astrid caught the site of Zarek in the entrance to the kitchen, her heart nearly skipped a beat, and her hands started to shake.
Trying to appear as un-agitated as possible, Astrid strode over to her lover, locked him into a tight squeeze and kissed his neck.
God he smelt good, even after a long day of working. |

OutOfCoffins;; HAHA! shitteh postie ; 3; -gives you a flower.-
- - - - -x
"Baby?".
A strong arm wrapped itself around Astrid's small waist,holding her to his side.Z cocked his head to the side and smiled down at the petite.He seemed calmer with the female around him,which made a bonus for Ash.
"Why are you here Barney?".
Did everyone had to mock him?Gods.
A tick started in Ash's jaw at the nickname.
"Calm down Eskimo--",he said,his gaze lingered over to Astrid.

Pulling away from Zarek, Astrid looked up at his masculine face, and quirked up a smile.
"Hun, why don't you have a seat, you've had a long day."
Pulling out a chair, Astrid sat herself down, mentally preparing herself to tell Zarek.
"I've invited Ash over, to umm, well help me out with a little something."
Astrid began to chew at the inside of her cheek, it was something she had been doing since she was quite young, when she was nervous.
"I've got something that I'd like to tell you, and Ash is simply here for support." |

The dark eyed vampire blinked a few times between Astrid and Ash.
Not taking Astrid's word he just stood standing.Ash on the other hand pulled up his own chair and took a seat next to Astrid,elbows on the table and his hands clasped together.
"Help you with what?",Zarek asked a brow raised.He folded his arms over his broad chest and looked down at the two,ready for whatever.
"Okay talk away then".

Biting down on her lip Astrid, looked over at Ash and then Zarek.
She loved this man, with everything she had. And, if he felt the same way, his reaction shouldn't be too bad?
Zarek always had a temper though, It was hard to tell when it would spring up. Which is why telling him this was so hard.
Her heart was racing. Her eyes began to water, not from sadness, but from the stress.
"Well, I dont quite know how to say this, but Zarek...I'm pregnant."
Astrid smiled up at him, awaiting his reaction. |

Ash smiled at the little nymph,rubbing her back as he tilted his head up slowly to look at Z.
The man looked sick.
"Z?".
". . . "
Zarek starred out into space,his facial expression blank.Acheron slowly stood up,his hands on the table.He slowly moved closer to Astrids side,his arm sheilding her.
"....Z".
The dark eyed vampire sucked in a deep breath through his teeth,his onyx orbs flicked down to Astrid.
"Pregnant,huh?",he said cooly.He licked his bottom lip,smirking and nodded his head."Great just great",he snarled.
"Zarek listen to me you---".
"Can it Ash",the vampire growled as he glared at his friend.Turning to the nymph he shook his head."Who's the dad?".
"Zarek you idiot".

Astrid was stunned, that was so not the reaction she had been expecting.
She was a little confused to be completely honest. You'd think, that his first reaction, would be to think he's the dad....
He really must not trust her, to think that someone else was the dad.
"Zarek, you're the dad....Why in gods name would you think otherwise?"
"You know damn well I would never sleep with another man.."
Anger building up inside her Astrid pushed herself away from Ash, and strode over to Zarek. Her eyes were watering. |

"Ah I don't know Astrid",he fumed."Remember how we 'met'? ...yeah you can enter peoples dreams and--".
"That was Murdock's doing",Ash chipped in only to receive a dirty look.
Zarek's gaze flickered back towards Astrid."I cant have children,Astrid",he said,standing in his spot;his body shaking."You KNOW that".
"Actually --",Ash budged into the conversation again."I forgot to tell you something Z".
"Ah lovely the great Houdini kept more secrets from me",the male sneered his lip curling back.
Things were looking scary now.
"Your..the only vampire... i /know/ that can have kids",Ash said,clearing his throat.
"What?".
"Well....when i found you...and Arty turned you...she didn't want to touch you so ..she poked you with a stick and made you a Vampire".
Zarek just looked at Ash with a dumb stare,crossed with confusion.
"Yeah well she forgot somethings".

Astrid was looking at Zarek through out the whole conversation.
How could he not know that he can have kids.
Thats not something you necessarily keep from someone.
That makes one wonder, how many women, before herself, had he gotten pregnant? And had no idea that he'd done it.
What a horrible feeling that would be, such a burden to hold.
Astrid placed her hand onto Zareks arm, and gently rubbed it.
She loved the feeling of his muscles under her fingers. Currently his muscles were flexed. Which made it harder for her to warp her petite hand around his bicep.
Everything Ash was saying, must be such a shock for Z.
Why hadn't Ash told him before? I suppose it just hadn't been needed to be told, till now? |

"So..this whole..time i was able to have children?",Zarek said,his eyes narrowed at Ash.
The vampire gave a small grim smile,folding his arms over his chest.
"Actually...just recently you were able too".
Oh thats some good news to Zarek.
Atleast he didnt make any other women pregnant.
"Oh. . is that so?".
Ash simply nodded his head.
Zarek growled at the other before blinking down at Astrid.Exhaling a small sigh he cupped the side of the female's face,his thumb lightly strocking her cheek.
And why Ash didnt tell him this before,he didnt have a clue.Sometimes the man could be such an ass.Messed up his life already,now..this?Why didnt Ash have to keep so many things from him?
"Im sorry Princess",the vampire sighed quietly.Feeling retarded for freaking out like he did.But who wouldnt?He really thought he was still sterile.
"And...Zarek one more thing..the child is yours".
Just had to make sure.
"Thanks Barney".

"Actually...just recently you were able too".
That was definitely a relief for Zarek, and herself.
It was official, she and Zarek, were going to have a baby. A wave of chills went through her body like a Tsunami.
Raising a child, was a hard thing to do. A part of her worried that she might not be able to do it. But then, she wasn't going to be alone, she would have Zarek with her.
Looking up at her lover, she delicately. wrapped her arms around his neck, and whispered in his ear.
"I love you." Her hand trailing down his neck, onto his chest.
Pulling away, Astrid turned on her heal, and strode over towards Ash. She pulled, him into a tight squeeze then released him.
"Thanks for all your help darling, it was very appreciated"
He was such a wonderful man at times, and this was one of those times,had he not been there, things would have gotten a little rough, seeing as though, Zarek had no idea he could have kids.
For that reason, she couldn't blame him for getting angry with her.
Looking over at Zarek, then back to Ash, she motioned her body towards the living room.
"Why don't we all go into the living room? I could bring out some wine? Not for myself obviously, but a little celebration would be nice no? Unless of course, you need to be somewhere Ash?" |

After the hug Astrid gave him,the vampire just smiled faintly and patted the girl ontop of the head.
"No problem little Astrid",he sighed,hands entering the pockets of his pants.He looked over at Z,a brow lifting.
Zarek still looked.....upset?It was rather hard to tell what the man was thinking.
The dark eyed vampire blinked afew times before tilting his head and moving into the living room,his arms folded over his chest.
Ash on the other hand bit the inside of his bottom lip,biting on it gently he shifted his gaze to the nymph again.
"Arty wants me back 'Home' ",he muttered,one silver eye closing.He exhaled slowly,obviously he wasnt to happy now,either."I'll pop over later.See how everythings going along",he smiled.A frown crosssed over his beautiful face before he looked down at his chest."Simi..take human form".
A lyrical giggle filled the room,a ghost of a black shadow slithering out from Ash's left coat sleeve.The image turning into a tiny green dragon,breathing fire before The Simi stood before them both.A tall teenager girl blinked up at Ash,a devilish smile forming on her pretty face.A row of jagged fangs glinted in the light above there heads.Onyx locks water falled over her petite shoulders,a long single strand of her bangs was braided.The lock died crimson red.She wore a leather skirt with fishnet stockings running up her slender thighs,a black tank top was worn over her uppertorse,with pink writing over it,in Greek."Barbeque" it read.Typical for The Simi.The girls flesh was pale..like winter snow.
A set of tiny bat like wings fluttered with temptation behind her,flapping gently before folding against her back.Within her dark locks two large horns grew from her forehead,twisted at the top a bit,and the bone look like a black crystal with ruby red mixed into it.
"Astrid!",the demon screeched.Ash cringed,sticking a finger into his ear.The girl moved towards the Nymph,wrapping her arms around the others slender waist.Her slitted nostrils sniffed the air,those awkward black eyes of hers flicked towards Ash."I smell the baby",she muttered.
Yeah she was kinda creepy.
"Astrid could you watch over Simi for me?Please make sure she doesnt...eat someone...or cause any havoc",Ash asked,his hand reaching out and ruffling Simi's dark hair."Simi..when you go out.NO horns...or wings..Get rid of them as soon as i leave..okay?".
The demon nodded sadly.
"Okay Akri".
The vampire disapeared.
"Akri is silly......Zarek!".
Just as Ash left,the said Vampire walked in.Blinked at Simi before walking back into the other room.
"Poo..i wanted frozen beans".

Astrid blew her bangs out of her face, her left arm reaching towards the back of her head, to loosen the bun she had put her hair into, her hair fell down her neck, and set itself just below her shoulders.
Ah, the baby, Astrid nearly forgot about it, till Simi mentioned it. It was hard to believe that there was something growing inside her..the thought was over whelming.
The girl couldn't help but laugh at Zareks reaction to the Simi, tonight was going to be a long night.
Astrid popped a quick wink towards the demon before speaking.
"Why don't you head over to the kitchen and find yourself something to eat Simi, but please, don't eat anything that I wouldn't approve of, Oh, and don't barbecue anything...without me okay? I'm going to go see Zarek for a minute."
Simi was always fun to have around, for a while anyways, Too much of The Simi was never any good.
Letting out a yawn, Astrid ruffled the back of her hair, It was definitely Pajama time, although, she had a feeling she would be up quite late, entertaining The Simi.
Turning on her heal, she headed to the bedroom, where Zarek had entered. She had been hoping on a shower tonight, but she wasn't about to leave Simi alone for that long, and she doubted that Zarek would want to watch her. The shower would have to wait till the morning.
