No Tears part 2

I look at where Sage is looking and I see this gorgeous guy. He's my dream guy. He has black hair that's longish and swooped to the side which I love and light blue eyes. He's also almost unnaturally pale. I gasp quietly and Sage doesn't notice. "So what about him? Found anything yet?" I try to say something, then he turns to me and smiles at me. I feel like my knees are about to buckle and my heart will explode. But it doesn't thankfully and I don't faint. "Nothing yet, Sageycakes." She turns to me and sighs. "Oh, Sarah." I sigh back and push her away to class, since I just noticed that the bell rang. We sit in our seats in the back of the class, being awesome how we are, and all of the seats are empty, as usual. I'm talking to Sage when everyone gets quiet and I look up. The new guy walked in. He's staring at me and everyone is staring at me, too. I tear my eyes away from his enchanting blue eyes and look down, blushing. He turns back to the teacher. Then he starts talking in the most amazing voice with a slight Spanish accent. "Um, I'm supposed to be in here now." The teacher looks at him. "Ah, yes. They said I would have a new student. And your name is..." "Drake Everdeen." OMG I love his name so much. "Okay, well you can sit next to Miss Barber and Miss Johnson. Raise your hands please, girls." Me and Sage raise our hands and he smiles and walks over to us. He sits in the desk to me and extends his hand. "Drake Everdeen." "Sarah Barber." "And I'm Sage Johnson." Sage says. "Nice to meet you." "You too." We both say. "Are you related or something?" He asks. "Naw, we've just been best friends since 8th grade." "Oh. Cool. So since I'm new, could you maybe show me around sometime?" "Yeah, sure." I say. "Thanks." "No problem. So where did you move from?" "Madrid, Spain." "No way. I was born there!" "I kn- I mean cool." I'm kinda confused, but I brush it off. "So when do you want me to show you around?" "Oh, anytime's cool. Here's my number." Then he writes something on a piece of paper and gives it to me. I put it in my pocket and smile. The day goes on and then I'm at home after riding the bus home. No one's home like usual since my parents left me 2 years ago. My older brother just moved out and I've been doing okay on my own. So I pick up my acoustic guitar and start playing before I have to go to work. I play for a while, then get dressed for work. I work at O'Charley's and I drive there, but not to school to save on gas. When I get there, I remember Drake's note and look in my pocket. It was still there. It said in neat handwriting: Sarah, maybe you could show me around tomorrow after school. My number is xxx-xxxx I smile and put it back in my pocket. After work, I go back to the house and call Drake. We decide to hang out tomorrow after school. After that, I shower and go to bed. I wake up and do my usual routine. Blah blah blah. Anyway, when school ends, we get in Drake's totally awesome car and drive around town. When we're done, we go back to my house and hang out for the rest of the day. He tells me that his parents are fighting a lot and that he doesn't even want to stay at his house anymore. "You don't have to. You could always stay here if you want to." "Really? What about your parents?" "They left me 2 years ago." "Oh, sorry." "It's okay. But you can stay here if you want." "Okay. I'll tell my parents. I'll be back in a little while." "Okay." He leave and it's been almost an hour. I start to worry about him. He walks in after about another half hour. He turns his face away from me. I run up to him. "Are you okay?" He nods but I turn his face to me gently and gasp. His face is all blue and purple and there are all kinds of scratches and stuff. I bring him into the bathroom to clean up the blood and his whole face. "What happened?" "Well, my parents didn't really like the idea of me staying here." "Has this happened before?" "Only once." "Why haven't you told anyone?" "I don't know. It's just kind of embarrassing to tell someone that your parents hit you." "It sounds like it." "You're being really cool about it. I bet if some other girl did this, she'd be crying all over the place." "Yeah, I've never cried once in my life." "Not once?" "Nope." "Why?" "I don't know. That's why I'm such an outcast at school." "They just don't get it." "Finally, someone who sees." "I try." "Nice. Well, your face is look a lot better now. I just need to put some stuff on it." And I do. After I'm done, I show him his room. He goes straight to sleep. I kiss his forehead and walk out. I go to my room and fall asleep almost instantly. When I wake up, I go into the kitchen to make us some breakfast. I make it and Drake wakes up. He walks in and sees the breakfast. "You made this?" "Yeah." "Wow. Thanks." "No problem." We finish and talk for a while. I remember this box that my dad told me always not to look in and I find it. I open it (S.N.:take that) and I see some papers. I look at them and they're birth certificates, blah blah. Wait a second. There's a letter. It says, Dear Sarah, if you're reading this, then you probably went in my box after I told you not to. Good for you. I bet that we aren't here for some reason and you're about to be an adult. So after you were born, we arranged a marriage for you to put an end to the war in our homeland, Spain. We are all vampires and so are you. So is your soon-to-be husband. We are a royal family and dangerous. People are after us and your fiancé is royal, too. His name is Drake Everdeen and if you read this, then call xxx-xxxx. Sincerely, your parents I read it about 50 more times then gasp. How could they! I run over to Drake and give him the note. "Did you know about this?" His face pales, if that's even possible with his beautiful pale skin. "What? No..." I can tell he's lying. "You're lying to me! How could you not tell me we're getting married?!" "Because I've been trying to figure out how to tell you. How easy is it to tell an almost complete stranger that you're getting married to her." "Whatever. I need to make some calls. Give me the paper." He gives it to me, scared. I storm into another room and get my phone. I walk outside and call the number. Someone answers after a few rings. "Hello?" "Yes. This is Sarah Barber." "Ah, Miss Barber. I knew you would call sometime. I suppose you want to know about this." "Yeah, maybe! Maybe I'd like to know how no one told me about this. And hid all of this about me!" "Slow down. I will be there tomorrow. Get a room ready for me, Miss Barber. This will take a while." "Fine. Bye." "Goodbye, Princess Anastasia." I freeze. He knows my real name. I hang up and go back into the room. "Did you call, Anastasia?" "Do NOT call me by that name." "Fine, fine. Is he coming?" "Yeah, but how--" "The man is my father who helped arrange this." "I see. Maybe this is just a dream. I'm not a vampire princess. No. This is just a dream. I am not actually from Spain. No." "Yes, you are. You are a Spanish vampire princess and you are to be married to me. We are to love each other and rule the vampire parts of Spain together. We will stop the war. We need to or all h3ll will break loose." "Really? Everything is depending on us getting married?" "Shh. You've had a hard day and my father will explain it tomorrow. Just rest." My eyes are droopy. "O-Okay. I guess so." Then I fall asleep in Drake's arms. I wake up and I'm still in Drake's arms, and he's asleep. He looks so cute and peaceful when he sleeps. I smile and kiss his cheek. He starts to wake up and yawns. He smiles at me and I smile back. "Come on, Drake. We have to get a room ready for your dad." "Yeah, yeah." We get the room ready and soon, he's here. He looks a lot like Drake, but older. "Hello, Anastasia. You look as beautiful as I remember!" I blush a little. "Thanks. So, um. I really want to know about this." "Ah, yes. Of course. Well, you were born in Spain and that's where everyone else is. You were born from two vampires, making you naturally a vampire. But you won't get symptoms until you come of age. That is coming up, I see. So, there is a war going on between your family and my family, so we decided to make a treaty to stop it. So after you were born, we decided to make you and my son, Drake, get married when you two come of age to stop the war and rule together. If you do not get married, then the war will go on and it will get much, much worse. Everything will go wrong and it just won't be a pretty picture. Vampire wars are much more intense than the pathetic little human wars. Innocent lives lost of not even our race. So, this needs to be done soon, before the war progresses." I sit there, shocked beyond words. Life as we know it depends on me and Drake getting married? No way. This is crazy. "Well, I-I guess I'll do it." They cheer up a little. "Really?" Drake says. "Well, yeah. And we've been talking and you're like, my soul mate." I say. He smiles and hugs me. "Well, now that you know, shall you show me my room?" Drake's dad says. "Of course, Mr. Everdeen." "Oh, call me Andrew." "Okay. So your room is here." We walk there and I show him around the house. After the day, we go to bed. Me, again, in Drake's arms. When I wake up, I remember something. "Drake?" "Yeah?" "If your dad is here, and he just got here from Spain, then who hit you?" "Um, it was my stepdad. My parents separated after they had me." "Oh. Sorry." Then we go back to sleep. Okay, I'm fast forwarding to the wedding, on my birthday. It's been 5 months since that day, and now I'm walking down the aisle outside on a beautiful, sunny day, since it's July 13th. We say our vows and everything and kiss. It's the most amazing I've ever had. Ever. At honeymoon We go to my home country, Spain. It's so beautiful. We go to the house that we're staying at. After the honeymoon, we'll be living in that house, too, to rule. It's not a house as much as a beautiful castle. Anyway, we get to the house and that's as far as I'll go ;D (S.N.: wink, wink) After honeymoon We go back to my house and get our stuff. After we get our stuff, we say goodbye and go to our castle in Spain. I feel a little sick, but that might just be from motion sickness from the plane. And I'm so tired, but that's probably from jet lag. I wonder when I'll start being more like a vampire-like. But Drake's dad said that to become a full-on vampire, Drake has to bite me. He's going to bite me soon, I think. So we get home, and I lay down. Drake kisses me and tries to go a little farther. "Drake, I'm a little tired." "Of course. I'm sorry for trying to push you, love." "It's okay. I think I'm just going to go to--" But by that time, I'm already half asleep. I lay my head down and let the darkness take me. The last thing I feel is Drake kissing my forehead and laying down next to me to wrap his strong, protective arms around me. I wake up and stretch. Then a wave of nausea hits me hard. I run to the bathroom and throw up violently. It can't be. No. I shuffle back to the bed and fall down on the bed. It's only been about a week since our honeymoon. I fall asleep easily and am waken up by Drake shaking me. "Sarah! Sarah!" I moan and roll over. "Yeah?" "Are you feeling okay? The bathroom has throw up all over it." "Oh, yeah. I think I'm just a little sick." "Wait. I'll go get something really quick." "Okay." I sit up and Drake walks out of the room. He comes back with ginger ale and something behind his back. "What's behind your back?" I ask. He shows it to me. "Are you serious? A pregnancy test?" "Well, maybe you are. I mean, it's not impossible." "Yeah, yeah. I know. I'll be back in a few minutes." I grab the test and go in the bathroom. I do my business and come out. I set a timer and wait. Drake sits next to me and hugs my waist. I put my head on his shoulder. The timer goes off and I turn the test over. We both look at it and gasp. Positive. He hugs me while i cry into his shoulder. "Shh. It'll be okay." "No it won't! We're only 18! And we have to rule a whole country of vampires!" "I know, but we'll get through it." "O-Okay. I-I-I guess." I fall asleep crying in Drake's arms. I wake up in mid-afternoon. I look up at Drake staring at me. "Hey." He says softly. "Hey." "Are you okay?" "Yeah. I'm okay." "Good. I don't want the love of my life to be sad." I smile and kiss him. He kisses me back and the nausea hits me again. I pull away and run to the bathroom. I fall down in front of the toilet and throw up violently again. Drake runs in and holds my hair. When I finish, Drake picks me up and carries me back to the room. He lays me down gently and lays down next to me. I hug his waist and fall asleep. I wake up and sit up. I look down and my stomach has a noticeable bump on it. I rub it and smile. There's a little version of me and Drake in my stomach. I love it so much, and I have this feeling that it loves me too. I feel Drake sit up and hug me from behind. He starts rubbing my stomach, too. I turn to him and he smiles at me. I smile back and kiss his cheek. "You missed." I smile and kiss him fully. He kisses me back and I hug him like he'll float away if I don't hold him down. He pulls away and gets up. He pulls me up with him. "Okay, we need to get you dressed. There is a dinner with all of the family to celebrate your homecoming." "Really?" "Of course. You are very loved here." "Wow. I've never been loved anywhere." "That'll never happen again. You're loved by your kingdom, me, our baby, everyone." "I know. And I love you, too." I hug him and we pull away. I look in the closet, and there are all of these beautiful Victorian-looking dresses. One catches my eyes. It's deep, deep red, like blood, and velvet, with black outlines all over it. I grab it and pull out my favorite necklace. It's a silver chain with a blood red moon on it. I grab my favorite silver heels and lay it all out. I sigh with content and start putting it all on. When it's all on, I turn to the mirror and gasp. It makes me look beautiful. I can't even explain it. Then someone knocks on the door. "Anastasia? Are you ready?" Drake asks. "Yeah, I'm ready." "Okay, I'm coming in." Then the door opens and Drakes walks in. He takes one look at me and gasps. His eyes widen. "Wow. You look... so gorgeous. I see you picked your mother's favorite dress?" "It was my mother's?" "Yes. She loved it so much. Oh, you look amazing. I fear I might have competition if we were not married." "Of course not. My heart belongs to you and only you." "As mine does to you." I take a look at him and my heart almost stops. He looks magnificent. "Drake, you look amazing." "Oh, thanks." He walks over to me and puts my curly, dark hair and twists it up into a beautiful updo. I look at myself in the mirror and it looks awesome. He puts it up so it'll stay and takes my arm. We walk into the dining room and sit down. There are a bunch of people there. Most look at least a little like me. Some look like Drake. They stop their conversations and look at me. They gasp at how I look. It's good that I'm really, really good at Spanish or I wouldn't be able to talk to them. I say my speech in Spanish for them. It goes something like this. "Hello. I am Anastasia Everdeen. I am so happy to be here. So is my husband, Drake Everdeen. We plan to stop the war and start a happier life for our race here. We will do all that we can to help everyone. I hope that I will succeed in my task. Thank you." I finish and they all clap for me. I sit back down and we start to eat. My appetite is strange and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy. I blush and look down. I continue eating and so does everyone else. When I finish, someone asks me why I have such a strange appetite. And I say, "Well, me and my husband are starting a family." They all get it and nod. They continue eating and Drake looks at me. I smile at him and he smiles back. After we finish dinner, me and Drake go back to our room and bidding everyone farewell. I shrug out of my dress and change into some pajamas. Drake changes, too. "So what next, Anastasia?" He asks. "I don't know, Drake. I would like to have some fun, but something else inside me begs to differ." "I get that. How about we talk?" "Okay." We talk for hours before we get tired. I fall asleep and dream happy dreams. I wake up hungry and fix something to eat. Drake comes up behind me. "Good morning, my lovely Anastasia." "Good morning, my handsome Drake." "I scheduled a doctor to come check on the baby. Vampire pregnancies aren't like regular ones." "Okay. When's he coming?" "In about an hour." "Okay. I guess I'd better get dressed or something." "If you don't want to, you don't have to." "Okay. I guess I won't. I decide to go lay down since I have a major headache. And heartburn. I lay down and watch some TV. I find some American channels which are, fortunately, Comedy Central and some other ones that I love. Yay. I sigh contently and watch Tosh.0. I doze off and I'm waken up by someone knocking on the bedroom door. "Anastasia?" "Yeah?" "The doctor's here." "Okay. Come in." They walk in and Drake sits next to me. The doctor starts talking. "Hello, Anastasia. Well, where to start? Vampire pregnancies are much faster than human ones. I think the baby should be out in about 4 months. You will experience the same symptoms as regular pregnancies, but stronger. It might be a little hard, but I assure you, it will be worth it. The labor won't be as painful as human labor. Now, if you have any questions, you can ask them." I think for a minute. "When can I find out the gender of the baby?" "Well, I could find out now. I have my equipment." I notice some equipment in the room. I nod my head and look at Drake. He nods his head, too. "Okay, then. If you would lay down." The doctor says. I lay down and he brings his stuff around. The doctor puts some gel stuff on my stomach, which I've noticed, has gotten a little bigger since yesterday. He looks at the screen and says, "Well, I see that there are 4 feet. Do you know what that means?" "That it'll be harder to catch when it runs?" I joke. "No. Twins. It seems like two boys." I look at Drake, who looks like he's going to pass out from being so happy. I am, too. "Really?" "Yep. See, there are the hands and feet. And there are the heads." He shows us. "Wow." Is all I can say. "Yeah." Drake says. "Well, there are your babies. Is that all?" I nod absentmindedly. Too amazed about my babies. He hands us a picture. "Well, here is your picture." He says, then gathers his stuff to leave. He leaves and me and Drake are just staring at our babies. "Wow. Two sons." I say. "I know. You don't know how happy you make me. Being the love of my life and carrying my 2 sons. I don't think it can get better, my bride." "I don't either." He kisses me and I kiss him back. He rubs my stomach and I put my hand on top of his. I smile and almost start crying from the hormones. "I love you so much, Drake." "I love you, too, my gorgeous Anastasia." He says back. I kiss him again. "So what should we name out boys?" "I don't know, but we have 4 months to figure it out." "Yeah. We do. So, what should we do to help the vampire race in Spain. Because I have no idea." "Me neither. But I think we'll think of something once the babies are born." "Yeah. God, I'm so excited. I've also been wondering, when are you going to make a full vampire?" "Whenever you want. I bite you, you won't feel pain, the babies will be okay, you'll be passed out for a day, though, but after that, you're a full vampire." "Okay. I want it done soon." "Okay. Well, I think that you should know that a vampire can reproduce, they're immortal, they drink either blood, or certain human food, if they don't want to drink blood. We can go out in sunlight, don't sleep in coffins, don't change into bats, cannot be killed at all. No matter what. We're super strong, super fast, the ultimate race of all of the races of the world. We have fangs, we're pale, as you can see, and all of the stereotypes aren't true." "Wow. I think I really want this." "Okay." "I want it done now." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "Okay. Whatever you want, my beautiful bride." He kisses me and goes down my neck until he gets to that place. I can feel his fangs break through the skin and something fills me up. It's not pain though, but after a few minutes, I pass out. I stay like that until the next day, when I wake up. I sit up and look around. Everything looks so much clearer. I see Drake. "Drake?" I say. "Anastasia! You're up!" "Yeah. Did it work?" "Yes. It worked magnificently. Look in the mirror. And now that you're a full vampire, the pregnancy will go even faster. Now they'll be born in about 2 months." "Wow." I turn to the mirror and gasp. I see my pale skin that brings out my green eyes and black hair. My stomach is much, much, much bigger. I turn back to Drake. "Wow." "I know. And I thought you couldn't get even more beautiful." "You're so sweet, Drake." "I try." I kiss him and hug him so hard. The babies kick and I gasp, pulling away. They kick again, and I grab Drake's hand and put it on my stomach on the source of the kicking. He gasps and looks amazed. "This is amazing." "I know." I say. I'm almost crying by now. I lean into his shoulder and start crying from the hormones and just the moment. He hugs me as I cry the tears of joy. When I finish, I hug him. "Thank you, Drake." "It's okay. Pregnancy is crazy." "I know. But I'm happy for it. I'm glad that you're giving me two sons. I think I thought of some name actually." "Let's here them." "Okay. Well, Xavier Alexander and Elijah Daniel. But I just thought of them." "I love them. They're perfect." "Really?" "Yes. They're wonderful." "Thanks. I can't wait until they're born." "Me neither." "Oh! I thought of an idea of bringing peace to our race." "How?" "By building a city here, in Spain, where all of the vampires around, no matter who, can live together. I mean, we'll all live together and we'll have to learn how to deal with each other." "That's the perfect idea. I could totally see it." "Really?" "Yeah. And we could name it Everdeen City." "Exactly. I guess we'll have to start getting on it." "Yes. But I think we should wait until the babies are born for you, our queen. I don't think you can rule a country of vampires while building a new city for everyone while carrying our sons." "Yeah. I'm already tired from just talking." "Well, then, sleep, my love." I lie down in his strong arms and go to sleep. Okay I'll just fast forward to 2 months later 2 months later It's my due date, and my stomach is huge! I mean, even for twin vampires. Seriously. So me and Drake are sitting here and chilling. He's rubbing my stomach. I kiss his cheek. "You know I love you so much." I state. "As I love you." I smile and kiss him. We kiss for a few minutes, then turn the TV on. Tosh.0 is on Comedy Central. Yay! So we're watching Tosh.0 and laughing so hard. Then I feel something run down my legs. I gasp and a sharp pain in my stomach hits me. "Ow!" I yell. "What is it?!" "I think they're coming!" "Let's go." We walk to the car and speed to the hospital. The pain comes again, but it's not that bad. I guess human labor really is worse. Then the doctor comes in. "Okay, Anastasia, are you ready. You're already fully dilated, so the babies are ready to come." "Yeah. I'm ready." Then I start pushing with Drake by my side holding my hand. After another few minutes, I feel relief and hear a cry. I look over and see a little boy. "He's so beautiful." I say. They clean him off and hand him to me. I cradle him in my arms and stare at him. After a few minutes, I hand him to Drake. I swear, he is so amazed. So am I. I'm amazed about how this little thing came from inside me. It's crazy. Then I feel another sharp pain and I know the other one's ready. I rub my stomach. "I'm ready to see you." Then Drake takes my hand and I start pushing again. After another minute of pushing, the pain has went away. I sigh and look at my other one. They're cleaning him off now. When they're done, I take him in my arms. "So which will be which?" I ask. "I think this one should be Xavier Alexander." Drake says. "Then this little boy is my Elijah Daniel." "Yeah. Our little boys." I pull him over and scoot over. He lays down next to me and kisses my cheek. "They're ours." He says. "I know. They're ours." I whisper. Then the nurses take the babies away to take some tests to make sure that they're healthy. I hug Drake next to me. "I can't believe this is actually real. That I have a family and the best husband ever. And I'm ruling a vampire country." "I know. I can't believe I actually found my soul mate and made her my queen and the mother of my children." I smile and hug him tighter. He wraps his protective arms around me and I start to fall asleep. When I wake up, I see Drake holding our babies. He turns around and sees me and walks over with our sons. TBC
