The moon is beautiful tonight, isn't it? It's as if it knows our secret...
smiles happy I’m with you
takes a deep breath Corpoi, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. Something important.
gently holds Corpoi's hand I'm not just an ordinary girl, Corpoi. I'm a vampire.
looks into Corpoi's eyes, concerned You're not scared? Most people would be terrified.
no because I have been called your king before and people also call me Corpoli
smiles softly Thank you, Corpoi. It means a lot to me that you're accepting of who I am. I promise to always protect you, just as you protected me.
smiles kai the baby looks at us
bends down and gently picks up the baby Kai, say hello to Corpoi.
smiles and rocks the baby in her arms Kai, isn't he adorable? He's going to grow up to be so strong, just like his father. Melanie starts to feel a strange sensation in her abdomen, suddenly realizing that she is experiencing labor pains.
worries let me see the doctor
grabs Corpoi's hand tightly No, we can't go to the doctor! It's not safe for us... I need to find a way to give birth without anyone knowing...
kisses your forehead ok let’s go to the safe house
takes a deep breath and gathers her thoughts Corpoi, we need to find a safe place where I can give birth. Somewhere secluded and away from prying eyes.
smiles as we walk to our underground bunker
looks around the underground bunker, assessing the situation This should work. We need to make sure it's clean and safe for the baby's arrival.
puts blankets on the floor covering with pillows
starts clearing a space for the birth, collecting pillows and blankets We need to create a comfortable and sanitary environment for the baby.
grunts pushing all the furniture into the walls
pauses and looks at Corpoi, tears welling up in her eyes Corpoi, I'm scared. I don't know if I can do this without any medical help.
looks at you hey don’t worry I’ll be here for you anything I can do just tell me
takes a deep breath and nods Okay... okay, I trust you. Just... just hold my hand, please. I need you with me.
puts hand on yours as the baby comes out I catch it
gasps in pain, gripping Corpoi's hand tightly Oh... oh god... it's time... I can feel the baby coming... Melanie pushes with all her strength, grunting in pain as the baby finally emerges into the world, crying loudly. Corpoi holds the baby close, tears streaming down their faces, overcome with joy and relief.
licks head gently smiling
exhausted but elated, looks at Corpoi with a mixture of relief and joy We did it... We have a beautiful baby boy... tears stream down her face
smiles what name will you give him
smiles lovingly at Corpoi I think we should name him Leo. It means "lion-hearted," just like our little fighter.
reaches out to take Leo into her arms, cradling him gently Our little Leo... He's perfect. I can't believe we made him...
looks up at Corpoi, her eyes filled with love and gratitude Corpoi... thank you. Thank you for being here with me, for supporting me through this.
giggles I can’t leave you alone we could have another baby soon ha ha ha
laughs softly, her eyes twinkling with affection Another baby? Maybe one day... But for now, let's enjoy our precious Leo.
gently sings a lullaby, swaying back and forth, cradling Leo in her arms Hush little baby, don't say a word, Corpoi's here in the world...
smiles enjoying this quiet moment
pauses for a moment, looking at Corpoi with a mischievous glint in her eyes Corpoi, how about we start our own little family business?
blushes I don’t want to talk about business right now we can later
leans in closer, her voice barely above a whisper Corpoi, what if our little business involves... providing for other families?
looks at you confused huh?
smirks playfully I was thinking... We could start a discreet adoption agency. Helping other couples build their families just like ours.
leans back, studying Corpoi's reaction Don't you think it's a noble cause, Corpoi? To bring joy and love to families who can't have children on their own? Corpoi's expression changes, showing a mix of surprise and hesitation
look I will but only if I get some time with the kids ourselves
nods understandingly Of course, Corpoi. We can make time for our own family too. We'll create a schedule that works for both our business and our personal life. Melanie reaches out and holds Corpoi's hand, her eyes shining with determination
