"Well, don't you two look cozy." Angeligue stated, as she saw Nicholas and Eve together.
"Hello, Angelique." Nicholas said. He walked over to her, and kissed her cheek.
"Hello, Angelique, Eve said coldly."
"Hello Eve, have you been entertaining Nicholas?" Angelique asked. Eve looked at Angelique with suspicion . "You are not an ordinary woman, I can tell these things."
"You are very evil, you are a witch." Eve told her.
'You are quite observant, Eve." "Then you and I should understand each other." Said Angelique. 'I see that you are quite evil yourself, Eve." She told her.
'Yes, yes I am." Eve replied. "I have killed many men." She stated.
"So it would seem." Angelique replied.
"Are you expecting Nicholas' child too?" Eve asked.
Angelique looked at her slyly and said simply, "Yes..yes I am." She looked at Nicholas as she lied to Eve.
******************************************************
The months passed very quickly in Collinsport. Eve and Angelique grew great with their children.
Soon the day came for Eve and Nicholas' child to be born. The boy child was born on Halloween Eve. He was a beautiful baby. He had thick black hair, like his fathers. He had large dark eyes. He was the very image of his father, Nicholas Blair. The baby weighed nine pounds, one ounce. He was twenty-one inches long. Sadly though, Eve did not survive the birth.Eve died that night. Nicholas buried her, quietly, near the sea. He kissed her one last time, and thanked her for his beautiful son.
Nicholas was very, very proud of his son. "He shall rule the world one day! "His name shall be Zachary!" He told Angelique.
Angelique was happy for him. She held his child in her arms. "Why Nicholas, he looks exactly like you!" She beamed as she spoke to him. 'Yes, he is every inch my son!" He boasted, with pride.
"Soon my baby will come." Said Angelique. She kissed the baby in her arms. "He shall be as handsome, and powerful as you, Nicholas." She told him.
Nicholas touched her child, he felt the child kicking in her womb. "She is very strong, Angelique. She will be as you are, a witch." "She will be beautiful as you." He told her. He kissed her cheek. She smiled at him sweetly. "Your child will come tonight, my dear." He told her.
"Tonight? Tonight my baby shall come?" She began to get breathless by this revelation. Nicholas took baby Zachary from her.He placed the baby warlock in his crib.
"I must tell Barnabas!" Angelique stated. She looked at Nicholas. 'Will you go to him, will you tell him the baby shall be born tonight?" She pleaded with him. "Please, Nicholas! I want my baby's father to be here!" She insisted.
'Yes, Angelique." I shall go to Barnabas, and I shall bring him here to you." He assured her. Nicholas quickly left the room.
As soon as he left, she felt the first pains begin. They were strong, very strong.Angelique screamed as she felt the stabs of pain. This baby was going to come very quickly! "Oh, please don't let my baby be born right now!" "Please wait until Barnabas comes!" She pleaded to her Master. The pains hit her again, and again. She made her way to the bed. 'I feel that I am dying, Master!" Is this your punishment for me?!" A terriffic and forceful pain hit her now! The child was coming.She wanted to be born, now! She would wait no longer! 'This child is killing me!!!!!" She screamed into the night. Then it was over, she heard her babies cries, loud and strong. When Nicholas and Barnabas returned, they saw Angelique holding her baby daughter.
"The child has been born!" Nicholas said.
"So quickly!" Barnabas said.
"What do you think of our daughter, Barnabas?" She asked him. She was positively glowing with pride. He looked at the tiny baby in her arms. She looked like a little angel. She had blonde hair, and blue eyes.She was the very image of her mother.
'She is absolutely beautiful!" Barnabas said. He kissed the baby's forehead. 'Is she as you are?" Barnabas asked her.
"Yes, Barnabas, she is." "She shall be as I am." She thought she saw Barnabas' face darken a bit. "You shall learn to love her, Barnabas. "You shall learn to love me too." "You shall see, my precious Barnabas." She informed him. He looked at the tiny baby. He took her tiny hand.
His face softened a bit. "I think I love her already, Angelique." He confessed.
"Kiss me, Barnabas; for I thought I would die giving birth to our child." He looked at her, and kissed her softly on the lips. "Barnabas, I wish to name her after my mother, Cymbaline." She told him. Barnabas was so much in awe, he humbly agreed to the child's name. She had been born on Halloween. She weighed exactly seven pounds. She was nineteen inches long. Barnabas and Angelique were both amazed at their tiny, beautiful daughter. Barnabas was wishing, though, that his child had not been born a witch.
Nicholas and baby Zachary were enjoying each other's company, in another part of the house. Nicholas was telling his son how powerful he would one day be.
There Master looked at them from the darkness. He
smiled wickedly." Soon the children shall come with me!" "I will raise them
as my own." "There shall
be no mistakes with them!"
Neither Nicholas or Angelique could hear his evil words. They were much too involved in their new offspring. They could only hear their babies sweet, soft breathing, as their hearts filled with love for their children.
