All of the students at the school were on spring break, The twins were with Caroline in Germany and Hope was visting with Freya and her wife in New Orleans. This was the perfect time. Alaric and I disscussed with the girls what was going to happen, and they were all for it. Josie and Lizzie just want their dad to be safe, as do I.
Turing Ric into a Vampire is just another step further into our relationship, an eternity together. I am hoping that our next step is having a baby of our own, but for now this is a huge step for Alaric so I don't want to push it.
I follow the sound of his steady breathing into our bedroom, I can tell he's on the phone with the twins so I stay outside the room to give him as much privacy as I could with my vampire senses. When he gets off the call with the girls, He opens up the door to reveal me standing there.
"You know you could have come in the room right?" He chuckles deeply, wrapping an arm around my shoulder and pushes me gently to start walking down the hall.
"I know Ric, I just know that it was the last time that you were going to be able to talk to them before turning. I didn't want to 'ruin the moment' between you and the girls" I tell him softly.
Suddenly, He stops walking to our unknown destination and spins me around to look at him.
"I will still be myself after I become a vampire, only a few changes. They know that baby, I know that. This isn't my first rodeo sweetheart" He tells me sweetly.
I grab his hands that were on my shoulders, and grip them softly rubbing my thumb over his calloussed knuckles.
"Are you positive this is what you want? An eternity with me? The bloodlust? Not aging? I need to know Ric. I can not deal with the thought of you regreting this, me." While saying this I found myself looking deep into his eyes, wanting on a response, longing for the right answer.
He takes a deep breath before taking his hands out of my hold and placing them on either sides of my face before saying, "Baby, you are the love of my life and you have been for a damn long time. I want this, I want this with you, for you, for the girls. I can handle all that comes with being a vampire, I promise. I've done it before, I can do it again. I can do it better than I ever have before because I will have the support of my girls. Above all else, I know that if I become a vampire I can have another little one running around here with our blood flowing through it, that thought above everything makes me want to do this even more okay?" By now, tears were pooling in my eyes threatening to come out. I stare into his eyes looking for any trace of a lie, which I found not a trace of.
