Vampire'S Secret Baby
|19|. Two Red Lines

A month passed and Annette began to adjust to the huge castle as well as the people inside. Annette started to feel like home to her. Warm, comfortable and safe.

He has people who prepare all his eating needs, so he does not have to worry about his ulcer relapse due to late eating.

He does not need to bother washing and ironing because there are already those who do it. That pampering life, makes Annette unwittingly drift away in her role as the 'mistress' of the castle.

But when working part-time at the minimarket, reality re-awakened it to the reality that exists. This is his real life...

Work hard and there is no time to hide.

"Annette can replace me for a second? I'm going to the toilet" cried Laura who was standing guard at the cashier's desk.

Annette, who was busy putting things in, turned to say, "Well, go"

Laura immediately went to the toilet and Annette went to the cashier's desk. A buyer came to put the things he bought. Annette swiftly scanned everything, but in the midst of the bustle...

"Ugh" The nausea churned from his stomach. Annette's reflexes smother her mouth.

'Why do I suddenly feel nauseous?'

"Sorry, are you okay?" Ask the buyer. From his neat appearance with a plain blue shirt, presumably one of the office workers.

"Ah, yes" Annette just smiled nodding saying she was fine however..

"Ughhh!" Once again the nausea was up, making Annette feel like she wanted to spit something out.

"It seems you are not well. Your face looks pale" commented the man again after noticing Annette's look.

"What's this?" Laura just went back to the toilet and found Annette..

"Ughhh!" Just as it felt like she was about to spit out a mouthful of acidic liquid from her mouth, Annette quickly ran away from the cash register.

Some time Laura was amazed, until she realized that there were buyers to be served.

"Ah, sorry" Laura immediately stood in front of the cashier's desk and resumed scanning the items.

"It's a hundred and fifty thousand in total"

In addition, Annette continued to vomit in the sink until both knees were limp, it felt like she wanted to fall down.

"Huh.." Annette let out a tired sigh, feeling like her strength was drained away. Turning on the water faucet, he rinsed his mouth clean and wiped it with a tissue.

"You okay?"

Annette turned to the origin of the voice and saw Laura walking inside approaching her.

"Eum" Annette nodded weakly.

"Why is my brother here? Who's gonna be guarding the cashier's desk?"

"I've had Breta take my place for a while" Laura pulled out some wind oil and applied it around Annette's upper back while patting her gently.

"Thank you brother"

Laura simply smiled wryly in return, "Is your head feeling dizzy?"

"Eum, a little bit"

Laura also applied the oil on both corners of the temple Annette.

"Since when have you felt nauseous?" After applying the oil, Laura closed the bottle and put it in her pocket.

"It looks like it's new tonight"

"Are you not suspecting anything?" Ask Laura.

"Sister mean?" Annette frowned confused.

"You'd better go home and rest. Use this thing later at home when you pee" Laura took out the testpack she took before checking Annette's condition in the toilet and gave it to Annette. Don't know why Laura had another hunch when she found Annette suddenly nauseous.

"It's.."

"Pregnancy testing tools" Laura said, deliberately lowering her voice just in case anyone, "This is what I took from the store's supplies but you take it easy, I've paid for it"

"Why should I use this thing?" Annette's voice sounded nervous.

"I'm afraid your nausea isn't your usual nausea"

"Okay sister, thank you again" This time Annette's voice really sounded very weak.

......................

Once at the castle, Annette regurgitated in the bathroom. Just when she felt like urinating, Annette immediately took the testpack that had been given by Laura and tested it.

About a few seconds passed, faintly two red lines appeared. Annette had no idea what that meant. Annette took her phone and scoured the web to find out.

"Two red lines are a positive sign of pregnancy" Annette's body drifted against the wall.

His legs walked weakly close to the bed, then he sat on his side watching the flat object.

"I-i'm.." Annette felt her stomach still flat.

"H-pregnant?" Sluggishly. His eyes were hot as if he was ready to cry.

At that moment the door of his room opened and he saw Egbert walking inside.

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale?"

Annette thought, should she tell Egbert about her pregnancy? But considering the deal he's signed...

'I have no other choice'

"There's something I want to show you"

"What's that?"

Annette handed the flat object in her hand to Egbert.

"Testpack?" Egbert had lived long enough in the human world, of course he knew that one thing.

"Two red lines, what does this mean?"

Annette squeezed her fingers nervous and scared.

"I-i'm.."

"..." - ".Egbert waited in silence. His gaze though calm, yet it did not cover the impatience that was clearly imprinted there.

"It looks like I'm pregnant"

"..." - ".A moment Egbert stared unblinkingly.

Annette lifted her head, looking at Egbert who did not look happy or enthusiastic. The expression on the face is logical and realistic. Not knowing why, for a moment Annette felt so pitiful.

"Good" After being silent for a long time, Egbert nodded with a satisfied smile, "Then I don't need to make love to you anymore because my seed has now grown in your womb" he said.

Hearing that, Annette felt like she had no pride in front of the blood-sucking creature. Clenching his hands, his heart felt hot and wrathful.

"Tomorrow I'll bring in an obstetrician to make sure" Egbert said, inserting his hands into the pocket of his sleeping robe.

"Tonight, sleep well"

After saying that, Egbert continued to leave Annette's room. Letting the young girl drown in the loneliness of a silent night.

Annette got out of bed and walked over to the window. Revealing the curtain, Annette saw a beautiful looking crescent moon with millions of stars twinkling around it.

"When I signed the deal, I knew a day like this would come"

The day she will conceive the child of a vampire, who is now her husband until the end of the deal.

"But it turned out to be worse than finding her sharp fangs that ripped my neck fiercely to death"

Annette's aware. What a tool-like self he was so far in Egbert's eyes. Until that tool is no longer useful, it might end up in the dump?

"If I had known it would be like this, I wouldn't have been afraid of the threat that day" Annette smiled bitterly and her hands groped the neck of her crimson tie rashes from Egbert's actions.

"I've lost my single status since I married her. Lose my virginity to contain her seed. Later..." Annette stared softly at the night sky, "I'm going to lose this child?" Annette felt the surface of her stomach.

That night he could not sleep, but wept with a million regrets.
