"Yeah I got ‘em." he called from the kitchen. "I have a surprise for you." Miles grinned, carrying something behind his back as he walked towards Nora. "Look! They’re like Doritos!" he held out a bag of triangular shaped chips that passed for Doritos nowadays. "I’m...

Miles shrugged sheepishly. "Lucky guess. And I was doing some research...on pregnancy. Nachos used to be a big hit I think." Miles leaned over and kissed Nora gently before standing up and rifling through the grocery bags, unpacking them. "How are you feeling this morning?"

Arriving at the club, Miles shied away from his usual seat, opting to stand in a dark corner and wait and see if Nora arrived. He bought a drink and tried to look inconspicuous, but no one was paying attention to him anyway. When Nora arrived, Miles was glad he didn’t...

For all the good Miles' enhanced hearing did for him, he still struggled to hear what Nora was saying over the music and general chatter. It sounded like she was asking about him. Miles couldn't see a stake on her, and frankly wondered where she could hide one in her tight outfit, but resolved to be cautious just the same. He walked up to Nora, taking the seat beside her. "Hey stranger, haven't seen you in a while." he smiled, gesturing to the bartender for a drink.

"Me neither." Miles closed his eyes, for once content with the world. He’d stopped worrying about his parenting skills and decided to take things as they came. Things would be alright.

~~~~~ A few months later, Nora was definitely showing. Miles had made many trips...

"Yeah I got 'em." he called from the kitchen. "I have a surprise for you." Miles grinned, carrying something behind his back as he walked towards Nora. "Look! They're like Doritos!" he held out a bag of triangular shaped chips that passed for Doritos nowadays. "I'm gonna make nachos!" Miles was brimming with excitement; finding the chips had been a score, and he looked forward to eating nachos for the first time in years. Belatedly, he wondered if Nora would even like them.

Miles had pretty much put the clan on lockdown. No one had been fed properly in two days, and more than once Miles had to break up a fight between two younger vampires who had gone stir-crazy. There weren’t enough feeders to go around and he had to sent his personal...

Arriving at the club, Miles shied away from his usual seat, opting to stand in a dark corner and wait and see if Nora arrived. He bought a drink and tried to look inconspicuous, but no one was paying attention to him anyway. When Nora arrived, Miles was glad he didn't have to breathe anymore, because the sight of her standing there in tight clothes and luscious hair would have left him breathless. Miles approved of her clothing choice. He watched as Nora took a seat at the bar, and hung back to see what she would do.

"Like I’ve got a good man and good tea and everything is going to work out," Nora smiled. "It’s surprising really. I haven’t felt this good in long, long time. I could get used to feeling like this."

[the-general-matheson]

"You’d better get used to it, ‘cause I’m not…

"Me neither." Miles closed his eyes, for once content with the world. He’d stopped worrying about his parenting skills and decided to take things as they came. Things would be alright. ~~~~~ A few months later, Nora was definitely showing. Miles had made many trips back and forth from the physician; Nora could barely cough without Miles launching into a panic attack.

Miles stood in his living room massaging his temples, Kalen and some other kid sitting on the couch in front of him, shaking nervously.

"Okay." Miles took a deep breath and looked up. "Where the fuck is Josh?" "Um…that’s a bit of a long story actually." Kalen gulped. Miles raised his eyebrows. “Lucky we’ve got time then. A few hours, in fact, before sunset. So tell me, what happened to Josh?”

[the-general-matheson]

Miles had pretty much put the clan on lockdown. No one had been fed properly in two days, and more than once Miles had to break up a fight between two younger vampires who had gone stir-crazy. There weren’t enough feeders to go around and he had to sent his personal feeders away lest they be attacked. He was almost afraid to go back to the bar again. Nora hadn’t shown in a few days, and Miles was worried she’d found something on him, or was waiting outside to ambush him. He decided to go the next night, but hang in the shadows and watch. He didn’t want to end up with a stake in his chest.

[the-general-matheson]

Miles brooded in his room for a few hours before calming down, stalking out of his room as the sky began to lighten. “Lilith, call Josh and Kalen. I want the entire clan down here now.” Lilith got up and did as she was told, while Miles made his way to the basement,…

"Where the fuck is Josh?" "Um…that’s a bit of a long story actually." Kalen gulped. Miles raised his eyebrows. “Lucky we’ve got time then. A few hours, in fact, before sunset. So tell me, what happened to Josh?” The other vampire slowly put a plastic bag with grey dust in it on the table. "You’re kidding me, right? This is some elaborate prank because you’re all bored from the hunting you are NOT doing since I asked, isn’t it?" Kalen shook his head. “We found it in the park this morning. His necklace was with the ashes on the ground.” "Fuck!" Miles stood up and threw a punch at the wall, succeeding in denting it. He’d had them reinforced since the last time he smashed one through. "He went after the hunter, after I specifically told him not to. Who knows what he told her, never could trust him not to run his mouth." Miles calmed down slightly. "Kalen, you need to let the clan know. And someone tell his girlfriend, but for fuck’s sake don’t tell her it was a hunter or she’ll go after her too. We can’t lose another one." Kalen nodded, and with a hurried ‘yes sir’ fled the room.

Miles picked Nora up, bridal style, and carried her over to the couch, careful to not spill the tea. He settled and pulled her into his arms, one arm around her waist and the other gently stroking her hair. “How you feeling?”

[noraclaytonblog-blog]

"Like I’ve got a good man and good tea and everything is going to work out," Nora smiled.  "It’s surprising really.  I haven’t felt this good in long, long time.  I could get used to feeling like this."

[the-general-matheson]

"You'd better get used to it, 'cause I'm not going anywhere." Miles voice was muffled as he leaned down to kiss Nora's neck. "Love you."

[noraclaytonblog-blog]

[the-general-matheson]

"Shit." Miles massaged his temples as he went back to the bar, ordering some whiskey and drinking it too fast. He made towards the door and back to his house, mentally kicking himself. Nora was obviously highly trained, and if he pushed too far she’d discover his...

Miles brooded in his room for a few hours before calming down, stalking out of his room as the sky began to lighten. "Lilith, call Josh and Kalen. I want the entire clan down here now." Lilith got up and did as she was told, while Miles made his way to the basement, awaiting the arrival of his vampire recruits. Ten minutes later, the majority of his clan was anticipating Miles' obviously important speech; he wouldn't have called them here when it was almost bedtime otherwise. "Listen up kids, I'm gonna say this straight; there's a hunter in town." At once, everyone started talking, some panicked and some excited. "Let me finish." Miles yelled, continuing when it was silent. "There is a hunter in town, and you are to stay away." "Why?" One of the youngest vampires asked. Miles would have to teach him a lesson on insubordination. "Because I said so. Be on the lookout. Don't go out by yourself, because she will be looking. If she corners you, it's your own stupid fault. You're all smarter than to get caught. Well, most of you. But if you touch her or hurt her in any way, even self defense, I will personally chain you to your front door at sunrise, got it? Okay, go home." There were affirming murmurs as most of the vampires left the house before sunrise could touch them. Miles began to think he might've overreacted by calling the clan here, but he needed to know Nora would be safe.

His back to Nora, Miles shook his ass in response to her comment as he prepared her tea, bringing it over to her. “Finally, I did it.” he grinned triumphantly.

[noraclaytonblog-blog]

"Shake it sexy," Nora giggled.  She gratefully accepted the tea.  "And it tastes good too," she smiled, after taking a sip.  "Now sit with me so we can snuggle."

[the-general-matheson]

Miles picked Nora up, bridal style, and carried her over to the couch, careful to not spill the tea. He settled and pulled her into his arms, one arm around her waist and the other gently stroking her hair. "How you feeling?"

[noraclaytonblog-blog]

[the-general-matheson]

Miles went for the shy and sheepish approach. “Okay. I’ll see you again, though?” he put his hands in his pockets and spoke just loud enough to be heard over the music. He hoped he hadn’t screwed this one up.

[noraclaytonblog-blog]

Nora wantedto say no. This guy unnerved her now. “Yeah,” she...

[the-general-matheson]

"Shit." Miles massaged his temples as he went back to the bar, ordering some whiskey and drinking it too fast. He made towards the door and back to his house, mentally kicking himself. Nora was obviously highly trained, and if he pushed too far she'd discover his secret. Frankly, he was surprised he wasn't already a pile of ash on the linoleum dance floor. He slammed the door of his apartment open and walked in, slamming it closed again. Just his foul luck to become overly interested in someone who would jump at the chance to kill him. Lilith, Miles' main feeder, and another girl, Amber, he thought she was called jumped up to greet him, offering their necks and slinging their arms around him. He pushed them off and stomped like a toddler throwing a hissy fit to his room. He was in a foul mood with himself.

"I know." he leant back and kissed her gently, smiling. He narrowed his eyes as he smelt something burning.

"Oh crap!" Miles said, turning around and pulling the pot of what used to be water, but was now just steam, off the fire. "Oops. You might be waiting a while for…

His back to Nora, Miles shook his ass in response to her comment as he prepared her tea, bringing it over to her. "Finally, I did it." he grinned triumphantly.

[the-general-matheson]

"Oh." Miles frowned slightly. He thought things had been going well. It was the first time in a while he’d been interested in a woman for herself, not just a feed or fuck. "Ok, do you want me to walk you out?" he asked politely, stepping back, as far as the pressing crowd...

[the-general-matheson]

Miles let Nora snuggle for a while before taking a tiny step back. As much as he would have loved to take her home then and there, he had to play it cool. He knew that she would be more attracted to him than any human, it came with the vampire territory. The worst was his…

"Oh." Miles frowned slightly. He thought things had been going well. It was the first time in a while he’d been interested in a woman for herself, not just a feed or fuck. "Ok, do you want me to walk you out?" he asked politely, stepping back, as far as the pressing crowd would allow.

[the-general-matheson]

"I knew there was a reason I kept you." Miles smirked, burrowing his face into Nora’s neck. She knew just what to do and say to assuage his fears. "I love you." he said, voice muffled by her skin.

[noraclaytonblog-blog]

Nora ran her fingers through his hair.  “And here I thought you just loved me for my body,” she teased.  “I love you too baby. This is going to be a good thing for us.  You’ll see.”

[the-general-matheson]

"I know." he leant back and kissed her gently, smiling. He narrowed his eyes as he smelt something burning. "Oh crap!" Miles said, turning around and pulling the pot of what used to be water, but was now just steam, off the fire. "Oops. You might be waiting a while for that tea." he smiled sheepishly before refilling the bot and putting it on to boil for the second time.

[noraclaytonblog-blog]

[the-general-matheson]

Miles half-smiled. “Sorry. Here I am panicking when you’re the pregnant one. You’re right, we’ll be amazing.” he walked over and embraced Nora, but still doubted himself. Given his history, who was he to be teaching morals and life skills to others?

[noraclaytonblog-blog]

Nora kissed him....

[the-general-matheson]

"I knew there was a reason I kept you." Miles smirked, burrowing his face into Nora's neck. She knew just what to do and say to assuage his fears. "I love you." he said, voice muffled by her skin.

[the-general-matheson]

Miles kissed her for much longer than he should’ve. He could survive without air for ever; Nora, not so much. “Would it be too arrogant if I said I’ve had a lot of practice?” he smirked. Hundreds of years practice, in fact.

[noraclaytonblog-blog]

Nora grinned. “It’s only arrogant if it’s not…

[the-general-matheson]

Miles let Nora snuggle for a while before taking a tiny step back. As much as he would have loved to take her home then and there, he had to play it cool. He knew that she would be more attracted to him than any human, it came with the vampire territory. The worst was his eyes; stare into them too long and Nora would be tripping over herself to do anything he asked. Time to tone down the vampire antics. “Another drink, babe?” he asked, still holding onto her.
