Chapter 46

One Month Later....
Dracula was in a private room painting a cubism style portrait while Mavis and Johnny ended the room holding hands.


"Hey Dad," Mavis greeted happily.


"Oh, hey guys," Dracula said with a smile. "Tod, take a break."


Dracula put the paint brush down and Tod the monster model got up from the couch and walked off.


"So, what's up?" Dracula asked everyone, while he levitated the painting and easel to the side.


"Mavis was wondering if maybe you wanted to, uh, go for a fly," Johnny said making a hand gesture.


"Oh? We haven't done that in forever, any special reason?" Dracula asked curiously.


"No special reason at all," Johnny giggled while covering his goofy grin. "Right, Mavy?" Johnny placed his hands on Mavis' shoulders.


"What's his deal?" Dracula asked suspiciously while raising an eyebrow.


"He's silly," Mavis replied as she and Dracula walked to the window. "It's just such a beautiful night, and well, if you don't want to..."


"No, no! Are you kidding? I would eat a bucket of garlic to fly with you." Dracula got excited to spend some time with Mavis.


Mavis quickly leaped out of the balcony window doing a fancy flip in the air and transformed into a bat. Dracula nodded that it wasn't bad as he levitated and he leapt high into the air then he dove downward and transformed into a bat flying over the lake to create a big wave with his wings.


"Oh, Honey, look at those fluffy clouds," Dracula called as he and Mavis flew higher into the clouds. "Remember what we played when you were little, Hide and Go Seek Sharp Objects?" Dracula turned around to find she was gone. "Oh, okay. Regular Hide and Go Seek." Dracula laughed as he started to look for his daughter.


Mavis giggled as the two vampire bats flew in and out of the clouds


"Where are you?" Dracula called out to her.


Mavis continued her giggling, popping in and out of the clouds.


"Honeybat!" Dracula called out to Mavis again.


Mavis giggled again as she popped in and out from another cloud.


"Mavy! I'm gonna get you!" Dracula looked around and called in a singsong voice. While searching for his daughter, Dracula heard Mavis panting heavily and resting behind the clouds.


"Honey, are you okay?" Dracula asked in concern.


"Yes," Mavis sighed heavily. "It's just a little harder to catch my breath since...I'm pregnant."


"Yes, well, I guess that would make it more diffic..." Dracula said until he stopped and widened his eyes in disbelief when he realized what Mavis just said. "What?!"


Mavis opened her wing and revealed a little baby bump on her belly.


Dracula gasped in surprised happiness and then rocketed higher into the air. "WHOO-HOO-HOOOOO! I'M GONNA BE A GRAMPA!" Dracula yelled in victory while punching the air with his winged fist.


"AND I'M GONNA BE A DAD!" Johnny shouted excitedly down below at castle's balcony.


Later back inside the hotel, Mavis was resting in bed while Johnny was singing Dracula's song to Mavis's pregnant belly, "Cause you're daddy's girl, or boy! Daddy's girl, or boy."


"I'm hungry again, Honey," Mavis sighed as she held Johnny's hands. "Can you get me some ice cream with anchovies?"


Suddenly Dracula flew into the room and waved a finger at the pregnant Mavis as a no.


"No, no, no, no. You mustn't give into your cravings, it's not good for the babies." Dracula said as he made a book appear in his hand called 'What to Expect When You're Expecting a Vampire' and read it. "You need to increase your spider intake so they can climb ceilings properly, and eat lots of sheep bile." Dracula finished reading the book as a zombie waiter presented a platter of crawling spiders and a sheep yacked up green bile as he bleeped.


"I love you, Dad, but we don't even know if the kid's gonna be a vampire. I'd be thrilled if the baby's humany just like Johnny." Mavis said as he playfully ruffled Johnny's crazy red hair, making him smile at his wife.


"Human?" Dracula scoffed as he closed the book. "With thousands of years of Dracula genes? Not gonna happen."


"As long as the baby is healthy," Mavis said reassuringly.


"Of course. A healthy little vampire." Dracula said.


"Or a human," Mavis added.


"Yes. A human...who can fly as a bat." Dracula nodded and then gave a bowl of soup to Mavis with a tender smile crossed his lips. "Here, just have some monster ball soup, it's your mommy's recipe." The soup had three large monster balls gurgling in it.


"Aw, thank you, Dad. Just like you made when I was a kid, my favorite." Mavis smiled weakly and then started to tear up and cry loudly.


Both Dracula and Johnny exchange awkward looks at Mavis' mood swings. The monster balls in the soup got choked up as well and one of them ate the spoon.


Moments Later...
On the night of the birth, Dracula excitedly leaned his ear against the door to the delivery room, eager to see the newborn baby. He opened the door to go in but was prevented from entering by the doctor.


"Sir! Only the father is allowed in the delivery room!" The doctor said holding up a gloved finger.


"Really?" Dracula groaned and then said more pleasantly like he was up to something. "I mean, okay. He's the family, I guess."


Meanwhile inside the delivery room, a new baby boy with bright blue eyes and a stock of curly red hair was crying after recently being born.


"Congratulations, Mavis and Johnny. It's a boy!" Dr. Gillman congratulated the young couple as he gently wrapped the baby in a blue blanket.


"Aww... he's perfect!" Both Mavis and Johnny teared up in joy looking at their beautiful son for the very first time.


While Dr. Gillman was holding the baby, the infant was suddenly taken by Dracula disguised as a blond nurse who started yelling happily.


"Oh, look, it's a boy! It's a boy! The Dracula bloodline carries on!" Dracula happily cheered as he told the newborn baby in his regular voice with tenderness and love. "No one will ever harm you, as long as I am here, my little devil dog." Dracula said gently with love as the baby boy smiled at him.


"Dad, can I hold my baby?" Mavis asked while trying to hold back a laugh at her dad's silly disguise. Johnny stood right beside Mavis holding her hand and he also grinned at Dracula's ridiculous disguise.


"If I were Dad, I'd say yes, but I'm the nurse, Francine. Here you go, anyway." Dracula gently handed the baby back to Mavis and Johnny crying in happy tears.


A zombie saw Dracula disguised as a hot nurse and he sprayed his mouth with breath spray and puckered his lips for a kiss. Dracula quickly noticed this and suddenly roared fiercely at the orderly.


"Myyy Baaad," the zombie orderly groaned and walked away.
