Chapter 3- Whatever it takes.

Erin gasped, as she finally felt it, she stepped backwards before collapsing to the ground, the stake was in a fatal spot. The baby might not survive. She tried to pull it out, but the pain... Was too great. Even for her.

Vlad stared at the scene before him, with horror. Olga laughed. A cruel laugh.

"I missed. " Olga said, smirking.

"Go!" Vlad said, his eyes were black, he lowered his fangs. No way he'll let HER get away with this

"Oh joy... The 'voice' again?" Olga still had that smirk on her face. She sped out of the courtyard, as the slayers walked out, disoriented. Robin glanced at Erin and Vlad, a apologetic expression on his face, before leaving again.

Erin laid on the ground, her arms around her stomach, she whimpered, did she just lose her baby, she attempted to pull out the stake so many times. But she only succeeded into driving it deeper. At least it wasn't in the heart... Otherwise she was dust.

Vlad sped over to her.

"Erin... Erin..." He whispered gently, he placed a hand on the stake. "I'm going to have to take it out..."

"N-N-No. Don't" she wailed, she winced.

"I have to Erin! The longer it's there, the slimmer the chances of the baby surviving!"

"FINE! Do it!" She whispered, as Vlad pulled the stake out, she resisted to scream in pain, he bit her lip, trying to be brave.

Vlad winced, he didn't want to cause her pain, the stake was finally out, she gasped in pain. The stake burned up. He had a sad expression on his face he wrapped his arms around her and brought her close to him. She gasped in pain again, blood continually flowed from the place where the stake pierced her. Vlad reacted quickly, he took off his checked red and white jacket off and pressed it to the wound, trying to stem the bleeding.

"How could I bleed this much?" She asked, she winced in pain, the jacket slowly got fully blood-soaked.

"... It... It's umaybe because you're carrying a child... Unless... It's the child... But that can't be true.."

"Are... You saying... I lost my baby?"

"No." Vlad shook his head, he saw fear in her eyes.

Erin looked down, wrapping her arms around her stomach, Vlad pulled away.. "I don't want to lose it" A tear rolled down her cheek.

"Erin! Don't cry... You're strong. So is the baby!" He sighed. He wanted Erin and the baby safe, he dropped the blood soaked Jacket. "We're going to have to stitch that up..."

Erin curled up beside Vlad, he wrapped an arm around her, carefully avoiding her stomach. He ordered Renfield to take some tests to see if she really did lost the child... It was going to take a while. He was going to take better care of her. He wasn't going to have her having a near-death experience again.

Malik Dracula walked around the courtyard. He had come back for his 'girl' and his mother. No way he was letting his 'dear' half-brother get away with everything. Ingrid sped up to him.

"What are you doing here?"

"What do you think I'm doing here?" He scoffed.

"...."

"Exactly."

"Dear Ingrid.... How IS dear Erin?"

"Why do you care?"

"Because... I just do."

"Whatever."

"No really I do... She left without saying good-bye."

Ingrid smirked. This might be a chance for her to be... Well deceitful.

Renfield walked in Vlad's and Erin's room. "I'm sorry..." He shook his head.

Vlad knew what he was about to say. "No...."

Erin widened her eyes. "Sorry about what?"

"We don't have food. Or blood around."

"WHAT!?!" Vlad didn't expect this. "You interrupted us for that!"

Erin rolled her eyes, giggling lightly. "I'm sure we can live for few days without blood."

"... Erin... No we can't. With the baby you have more blood cravings... We only have soy blood..."

"Ew. Gross. Not that rubbish."

"Erin... It's the last option... After all... It's all the good stuff and none of the bad."

"Urg... Fine..."

"Thank-you... Renfield... Get some soy blood please.."

"Okay Master Vlad. Mistress Erin. " Renfield left the room.

She sighed. "Do I really have to drink that rubbish?"

"...Yes."

The Count paced up and down in the throne room. Something was bothering him. Until he saw a beautiful sight. Ms McAuley.

"Hello Count. Um... I just dropped in to see Erin and Vlad. They haven't been to school recently."

"Ah. Yes. School. Let me get this straight. Erin's pregnant."

"Are you serious?"

"Yep."

"How far along is she?"

"..." The Count gulped. "Five months I think?"

"You think?"

"I'm certain."

"Right."

Ms McAuley shook her head before leaving the room in pure surprise.

"I'm actually surprised that Malik hasn't come looking for you ..."

"Yeah... Me too..."

At that moment , Malik came in.

"Hel-" Both Vlad and Erin scrambled to their feet. Malik noticed Vlad's hands were on Erin's stomach. "Are you pregnant?"

"Um... Yea..." Erin replied, uncomfortable by Malik's presence.

"Who's the father?"

Vlad and Erin looked at eachother. "...uhhhh.... You?" They said in unison.

"WHAT?"

"Yea."

Malik looked at the couple, before speeding out of the room.

Renfield wandered aimless around the house-hold , trying to find Soy blood, which, so far had failed. A dog trotted beside him.

"Wolfie. Shoo! Shoo!"

Wolfie barked to say no. He walked away, but not before he bit Renfield's leg.

"OW! Mutt! Ah! Soy blood." Renfield ran and grabbed the three bottles he found.

Erin sighed, her arms were wrapped around her stomach, she wondered if it was still there. After all it might not have survived. Vlad came back in. "Renfield finally found the soy blood..." Vlad grabbed two goblets and poured soy blood to the brim on both. He handed the silver to her , before draining his. Erin slowly sipped her's, she had a disgusted look on her face.

"Erin, drink all of it."

"Nah... I'l- OW!!" She hissed, feeling pain. "No. No. It's to early!!"

"Too early for what?" Vlad had a dumbfounded look on his face.

"I'm going into Labour."
