Anna's point of view.We're soon racing through the waters and out into the open sea; I don't know who's more excited, Dylan or me, neither of us has been on a boat before, and this one glides along the clear water at an unbelievable speed. The boys are in their element.I laugh as I watch Dylan's face; he's loving it, especially when Bear lets him handle the boat; at a slower pace, of course; when we eventually stop, Stan throws the anchor down before the boys start setting up the fishing rods and equipment. I strip off my dress, leaving myself in my bikini as I sunbathe at the front of the boat, smiling to myself as I feel Ash's eyes on me.After an hour of listening to the guys having fun fishing, I throw my dress over the top of my bikini before joining them.Ash pulls me into his arms as he whispers. "Are you having fun, baby?"I smile as I reply. "I am, and Dylan's loving it; it's good to see him enjoying himself."Ash nods his head as he turns to look at Dylan. "Yeah, it is. H

Ash's point of viewWow-what a weekend it's been; Dylan aced his fight on Saturday night, but not only that, He kept those powers of his under control. I know we have Bear to thank for this. He used the same technique he first used on me all those years ago, although I must admit he seems to have finely tuned it to perfection. No doubt, his high-ranking years in the military and the new recruits he has trained along the way have helped Bear to perfect that technique to what it is today.Then on Saturday, we had Dylan's surprise, a day on the boat out in the open sea fishing with the guys, Dylan loved it. He never stopped smiling all day, but he deserved it. It was evident by his reaction that he's never had anyone surprise him before, never mind an entire day of nothing but fun.Anna was loving it too, her very first time out on a boat, and she looked sexy as fuck in that bikini. I love to see this carefree side of her; damn, she had me good with that fish, the little minx; I can't b

Anna's point of view.Oh my god, I'm so glad that tonight is over as I watch the pair of them in the ring. I've never been so frightened in all my life. I've seen first-hand what Ash is capable of as I watched him bring Areon down, and the frightening part is I've also seen how strong Dylan is when I've watched him fight.Thankfully though, they both get through this pretty unscathed, but Ash is right as Dylan fell to his knees at Ash's feet; in complete and utter bewilderment and shock, it was exactly what he needed. When Ash pulled him to his feet, the look of respect on his face was priceless.They stand together in the ring as they look at each other with respect, but I've learnt to read Ash well. As they look at each other, there is something else there, though, almost as if they are having a telepathic conversation between themselves. I have no idea what's happening, and they stay like that for a good ten minutes before they finally turn to leave the stage. Dylan stops and tur

Ash's point of viewYou never realise how long a minute is until you wait for those seconds to slowly tick by, especially when those seconds could be something that will change your life forever. then times that minute by three and fuck that's a long time!I look at Anna as I hold her shaking hand in mine and whisper. "Breathe baby, ……."She takes a deep breath as we wait for those last agonising thirty seconds. "It's time, baby…." I whisper; she shuts her eyes, clutching my hand as she says."I can't look, Ash...""It's okay", I reply before I walk over to the side and look down at the two tests sitting on the counter.Fuck………..I pick them up with my own shaking hands and walk back to Anna; before placing them in her hands, she still has her eyes squeezed tightly closed, and I whisper."Open your eyes, baby."It takes her a while; she takes a couple of deep breaths before she opens those beautiful blue eyes of hers before looking down at the tests sitting in her hands.She burst in

Anna's point of view.I never knew being pregnant could be so tiring, not that I'm complaining because I wouldn't change a thing. I'm so happy I'm finally at this point in my life; growing a tiny human inside me is a dream that I never thought possible. A miracle. I just never knew how tired I would feel, bone-shattering tired, and the morning sickness has been horrendous, although I have no idea why they call it morning sickness, and it's morning, evening, and night sickness, and I'm really struggling with it.I know Ash is worried about me; he managed to get me in to see the doctor just to make sure that me and the baby are okay. If I were a normal person, I would probably laugh it off, but I'm not an average person; I'm far from it on the outside. I may look like any normal young woman, but on the inside, I'm a woman in her sixties, pregnant with her first child.And add to that that I'm also an ex-Vampire Queen who was once forced to drink blood.Yes, most definitely not normal.
