The Birth of Christiana and Meadow's Child

Before reading the chapter this chapter discusses suicide. If you or anyone you know is suicidal or having suicidal thoughts, please reach out to a suicide prevention organization the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available at 1-800-273-8255.

Narrator: "This world is surrounded by crime, greed, and many other sins. When people gave up hope for peace there are a group of assassins that would cleanse the world. If you're truly tormented by anyone and want vengeance, then you must call upon The Sweepers and they will take vengeance for you."

It is a bright day in the early afternoon; Christiana and Meadow are sitting outside in a grass field near the mansion kissing.

Meadow: "I know I've said this so many times for the past three months, but I missed you."

Christiana: "I missed you too."

Meadow: "I will never leave you like that again."

Christiana: "You promise."

Meadow: "Definitely." He kisses her gently as he slips his tongue in her throat gently. "God, you look so sexy in my robe."

Christiana: "Well I had to wear your robe I rather not wear maternity clothes."

He blushes.

Meadow: "You know after you give birth could you wear my clothes again? Not my robe but my shirt just my shirt and nothing under it."

Christiana: "Meadow you dirty-minded wolf beast."

He nearly turns red, and they both touch her stomach. They both feel the baby kicking.

Meadow: "Thank God I got the chance to feel our baby kicking for three months."

Christiana: "Our baby is quite a kicker."

Meadow: "It won't be long until the baby is born."

Christiana: "We'll be parents to a healthy baby."

He kisses her hand.

Meadow: "I hope you'll have the strength to give birth to our child."

Christiana: "I'll be fine Meadow."

Meanwhile, at the mansion, the twins are thinking about the possibility of losing Christiana.

Angel: "What's wrong sis?"

Shadow: "I'm just afraid that boss might die."

Angel: "I'm trying not to think about it. Especially since it's her due month she's due any day now."

Shadow starts to cry.

Shadow: "She's like a sister to me and I don't want to lose her. If it wasn't for the boss, we wouldn't have a real family."

Angel cries as well.

Angel: "I feel exactly the same I don't want to lose her either…"

Outside of the mansion, Violet is smoking a cigarette. Thinking about the possibility of losing her best friend. Tom walks outside and notices Violet feeling down.

Tom: "Are you okay?"

Violet: "It's not fair…" She starts to cry. "Why is it that it's the possibility that the boss will die to give life to this cruel world?"

He starts to cry.

Tom: "I know it's not fair, but I know the boss would want us to put up a brave face when she gives birth to her child."

Elsewhere Seven comes back to Rhinestone City to visit his dead friend Austin. He went to the cemetery to visit Austin's grave and paid his respects.

Seven: "Hey man sorry I didn't attend your funeral. I had to go back home, and my mom couldn't afford to send me back for the funeral. Anyways I'm doing fine I told my friends back home about you. I bet if you're still alive you would've met them and liked them. I'm glad my mom let me come here for the day to pay my respects. I better get going I haven't told my uncle I made it here. Later man."

Just as he is leaving, he sees Rowena heading to Austin's grave.

Rowena: "If it isn't you Seven."

Seven: "Rowena. It must've been hard for you losing Austin like that..."

Rowena: "Yeah the cops said that he was at the wrong place at the wrong time."

Seven: (Thinking) "If only she knows the truth about Austin's death…" He thinks back to the day he left the city to go back home. As he is in the train cart, he looks out the window and sees River with his hand up waving it goodbye as he changes his eyes to black. "River was a demon that killed Austin. I pretty much pieced it together before I left, and nobody knew who he was because he somehow erased everyone's memory about him except for me I still remember him."

Rowena: "You don't believe that it was really the wrong place at the wrong time."

Seven: "Huh?!"

Rowena: "There are things that I know that everyone else doesn't know."

Seven: "What do you mean?"

Rowena: "I guess I can tell you actually I'm supposed to be twenty-eight years old."

Seven: "What?! Your eighteen! How is it that you are supposed to be in your late twenties?! Unless... Are you a vampire?"

Rowena: "No. I killed myself twelve years ago."

Seven: "You were a Reaper?!"

Rowena: "Yes."

Seven: "I-I just find it hard to believe that you would kill yourself. You just seem like the type that wouldn't do it."

Rowena: "That's what a lot of people said at my funeral. That a sixteen-year-old punk killed herself."

Seven: "Why did you do it?"

Rowena: "I was the toughest punk in my hometown I got into so many fights with other punks from different schools. I got kicked at all the schools there and my parents thought that if I lived here with my big brother I could change."

Seven: "Brother?"

Rowena: "My brother was attending university here and lived in his own apartment, so I was forced to move and live with him. Even after I moved here, I didn't change one bit. I was still the tough punk girl everyone at school feared then before I knew it, I fell in love with a man. He was a new teacher he just starting his teaching career. I got myself into trouble in his class every day on purpose just so I could be alone with him and one day I told him how I felt about him. He believed it was just a silly crush no matter how much I told him it wasn't a crush. So, one day I left a note for him to meet me at the rooftop of the school."

She remembers the night she committed suicide. She is standing near the edge of the roof.

Teacher: "Ms. Terchaberg! What are you doing?!"

Rowena: "I tried to tell you that I love you, but you keep brushing me off.."

Teacher: "I've told you before that you don't really love me you just have a crush on me that's all."

Rowena: "Fine then!" She walks backward to the edge of the roof and turns around to face him. "If you won't love me then I have no reason to live!"

She jumps off the building and kills herself she then notices her dead body.

Rowena: (In Narrative Tone) "Next thing I knew I found myself standing next to my body." She remembers the day of her funeral. "My friends and my brother were devastated I didn't realize that many people cared about me even my parents were heartbroken about my death."

She is standing next to her coffin and then notices the teacher coming to her funeral. Her brother punches the man in the face and Rowena's friends hold her brother off.

Rowena's Brother: "How dare you come here?!"

Teacher: "I'm just here to pay my respects."

Rowena's Brother: "Valerie and Kira told me why my sister killed herself it was because of you!!"

Rowena: "Big brother..."

Rowena's Brother: "I want you out of here!! It's bad enough I have to bury my little sister! Now I'm in the same room with the man who is responsible for her suicide."

Teacher: "I am deeply sorry for this..."

The memory ends.

Rowena: "I didn't realize how much my brother meant to me until it was too late."

Seven: "One who takes their own life must be punished you can't go to heaven you can't go to hell you will serve for God of Death for eternity."

Rowena: "How did you know that?"

Seven: "Let's just say you're not the first reaper I came across."

Rowena: "I was reaper for about ten years until."

Seven: "You prevented someone's death."

Rowena: "Yeah it was a man who was going to kill himself over a woman."

She remembers the day she came back from the dead. A man is with a woman who he thought she loved but discovered the truth.

Man: "What we had together was a lie? I thought you loved me!"

Woman: "Oh please like I would be with a poor man like you. I only used you for fun it's not like I actually had feelings for you."

He pulled out a gun and pointed the gun at his head.

Man: "If you won't love me then I won't have a reason to live!"

Just as he is about to pull the trigger Rowena stops him.

Rowena: "Don't be a dumbass! You shouldn't kill yourself over this bitch!"

Woman: "Where are your manners brat!"

Rowena: "You can see me?"

Woman: "Of course I can I'm not blind!"

Rowena: "What the hell..." She checks to see if she has a pulse and is surprised to see she has one again. (Thinking: "Oh my God! How am I alive?!") The memory ends. "I didn't want to see anyone do something like that because they were rejected like that."

Seven: "Can't say I blame you."

Rowena: "When I came back to life, I was still sixteen I haven't aged a day. Would you believe that Death himself was the same age as me?"

Seven: (Thinking) "Ray is sixteen?! That's right I forgot he died young."

Rowena: "Want to know a coincidence?"

Seven: "What?"

Rowena: "The man I stopped from killing himself turns out to be my guardian's brother."

Seven: "Really?"

Rowena: "Yeah."

Seven: "Well you know what they say things happened for a reason."

Rowena: "No kidding."

Seven: "I think I know what really happened to Austin."

Rowena: "What?"

Seven: "I think he was killed by a demon."

Rowena: "That doesn't surprise me."

Seven: "You actually believe me?!"

Rowena: "I've crossed over people who were killed by supernatural beings."

Seven: "What puzzles me is why? Unless he witnessed an attack, demons wouldn't care about that. They wouldn't bother with witnesses because nobody would believe them about demons."

Rowena: "Who knows about demons these days."

Seven: "I should get going."

Rowena: "Later."

Seven left the cemetery and went to his uncle's house. Sometime later Christiana and Meadow went back inside their mansion and went upstairs into the room they had prepared for the home birth.

Meadow: "Christiana."

Christiana: "Yes?"

Meadow: "Well, I know how you got pregnant, but when did I impregnate you?"

Christiana: "Let me think about it well remember when we all went on separate vacations."

Meadow: "Yeah."

Christiana: "We went on vacation at the same place we went on our honeymoon."

Meadow: "Oh."

Christiana: "We went sightseeing first because we really wanted to go night swimming at the beach. So, we did and after we went night swimming, we went to our hotel room and had dinner. We had about three glasses of wine and before I knew it you carried me to the bed, and we were kissing and cuddling. I wanted you to show your fangs, I practically begged you and you did show them. Then you pretty much let the wolf beast inside of you out."

Meadow's face almost turned red.

Meadow: "Oh God... I must not have thought about using a condom at the time."

Christiana: "You even tied me to the bed."

Meadow: "Let's never tell our child how we had it."

She chuckles a bit.

Christiana: "I won't."

Meadow: "Oh good..."

He kisses her hand; then she realizes that her water has broken.

Christiana: "Hm?!"

Meadow: "What's wrong?"

Christiana: "My water broke."

Meadow: "I'll call Delia."

Meadow pulls out his phone and calls Delia. Elsewhere Seven is at his uncle's house praying for Christiana to survive.

Carter: "I see why you came here just an excuse to come to this city."

Seven: "Oh um..."

Carter: "Don't play innocent because why else would you be praying."

Seven: "I'm just worried that's all."

Carter: "You look up to Christiana, don't you?"

Seven: "Well...yeah. I do."

Carter: "The last time I saw her was about a couple of months after you left. I got injured during a hunt and I saw her at the clinic I go to. I wasn't surprised to hear that she's pregnant, but she is the first human to give birth to a vampire's child."

Seven: "Yeah..."

Carter: "You can go see her if you want to."

Seven: "I don't know..."

Carter: "Are you afraid that she may not survive?"

Seven nods his head yes. Meanwhile, as Deila heads to the mansion and just as Henry is heading upstairs, he notices Zachary praying.

Henry: "I didn't think you of all people would pray."

Zachary: "I may not go to church, but I do believe that God is out there."

Henry: "Oh..."

Zachary: "You don't believe in God, do you?"

Henry stood in silence for a moment.

Henry: "Believe in God that lets innocent people die when it isn't their time."

Zachary: "Was it someone you truly cared about?"

Henry: "My adopted sister was in an accident and needed a blood transfusion in order to live but my parents didn't survive the accident. Neither I nor my sisters were a match, so she needed someone with her blood type or someone blood-related to her. I prayed every damn day hoping somebody could save her by donating their blood unfortunately she never got the transfusion and died. Do you really think I should believe in someone who just lets those who die that are innocent and let those who commit crimes and other sins live?"

Zachary: "Maybe because there are people like us who protect those innocent people. Even you, the kid, Meadow, and the Boss hunt demons to protect possible demon victims when you can. You know the Boss prayed every night for Meadow to come back safe not just Meadow but also for the baby to be healthy when it's born. Meadow even prays for the Boss to have the strength to survive the birth."

Henry: "Don't talk like she is going to die!"

Zachary: "You really do care."

Henry: "Of course I do."

Delia enters the mansion with her medical kit and her nurse.

Delia: "Still don't like to express emotions do you little brother?"

Henry: "Delia what are you doing here?"

Delia: "It's time Henry. Tony, I need you to carry my bag while I prepare the home birth."

Tony: "Yes Dr. Mayflower."

Henry: "Still working for my sister Tony?"

Tony: "The pay is very well."

The two walked upstairs and Zachary noticed the way the male nurse was looking at Delia.

Zachary: "Does he have feelings for your sister?"

Henry: "My sister is still off limits."

Tony: "Shut up!"

Zachary: "Aw ain't that cute protecting your big sister."

Henry: "Shut up."

They walked upstairs meanwhile Seven was standing at a grass field worried about Christiana.

Seven: "Why am I scared to go to the mansion? I'm scared to even touch the scarf she gave me..."

He hesitates to get the scarf then decides to take the scarf out of his bag and gets a premonition. When he saw the premonition, he smiled and shed tears of joy indicating that the premonition was a good one. Back at the mansion, the group is standing in the hallway as Meadow and Christiana are in the room holding hands as she is giving birth to their child.

Delia: "Okay I see the head now I need you to push." She continues to give birth. "One more big push it's almost here."

She gave in one more push and the baby was born. The baby cries as it is born, and Delia takes the baby to have the baby cleaned. Meadow closes his eyes and has her hand on his forehead.

Meadow: "Please God... Don't take my wife away from me. I already lost Dean I don't want to lose Christiana."

Christiana: "What's wrong Meadow?"

Meadow: "Hm?!"

He looks up and is thankful that she is still alive.

Christiana: "I told you before that I'll be okay."

He hugs her gently and kisses her gently and passionately.

Meadow: "Oh thank God! I was actually scared..."

Christiana: "There was nothing to be scared of. Don't you think that Ray would have come here if I was going to die today?"

Meadow: "God I'm just happy that you're okay."

He continues to hug her and kiss her. Outside the other room, the others are trying to figure out the baby's gender but Tony guards the door against them.

Macy: "Come on we just want to know what the baby is."

Violet: "Let us see the baby's gender."

Tony: "No way. You'll find out once the parents find out."

Delia knocks on the door.

Delia: "Ton Ton. You can let me out now I have the baby wrapped in its blanket."

He blushes when he hears her call him that.

Tony: "Yes Dr. Mayflower."

He opened the door for her, and Delia went to take the baby to Christiana and Meadow.

Angel: "He's blushing."

Shadow: "He must have a thing for Delia."

Tony blushes out of embarrassment.

Tony: "Of course not! I only have great respect for Dr. Mayflower!"

Violet: "Sure it is."

Delia takes the baby to Christiana and Meadow.

Delia: "Hello there parents."

Christiana: "Can we see our child?"

Delia: "Okay you two are parents to a beautiful baby girl."

Christiana: "A girl."

Meadow: "A girl."

She hands the baby girl to Christiana.

Christiana: "She is beautiful."

Meadow: "She really is."

The baby starts to fuss due to hunger.

Delia: "She's hungry. Will you be breastfeeding?"

Meadow: "Hell no."

Christiana: "I guess not."

Delia: "Your husband is lucky that formula milk is invented. Good thing I made a bottle of formula milk just in case."

She hands Christiana the bottle of milk and feeds her daughter. Her daughter finishes her bottle of milk quickly.

Christiana: "You sure are hungry."

Delia: "What will be her name?"

Christiana: "Her name? Hm? Let's see..."

They both ponder on what they will name their daughter and Meadow thought of a name for her.

Meadow: "Abigail."

Christiana: "Abigail?"

Meadow: "It was my mother's name, Abigail."

Christiana: "Marceline."

Meadow: "Collins."

Christiana: "Why my last name?"

Meadow: "Why not? Besides I technically died a long time ago it would be best if she had your family name."

Christiana: "I see. Hm?"

She tried to get up with Abigail, but she couldn't get up.

Meadow: "What's wrong?"

Christiana: "I can't get up. My legs feel weak."

Meadow: "You must have used a lot of your strength giving birth to Abigail."

Delia lets the group into the room to see Abigail.

Delia: "Okay you can see baby Abigail."

Shadow: "Oh my God!"

Angel: "She's so adorable!"

Violet: "She's so precious!"

Zachary: "She is so cute! Can I hold her?"

Meadow: "Hell no."

Tom: "He's already being a protective dad."

She starts to fuss again.

Christiana: "What's wrong Abby? Are you still hungry?"

Delia: "It could be that just formula milk won't fill her up. She'll need blood to drink."

Macy: "Does she need a certain type of blood?"

Just as Henry is about to give her some of his blood Tony stops him.

Tony: "Your blood will make her sick."

Henry: "What?"

Delia: "She just needs AB-type blood it doesn't matter if it's positive or negative."

Zachary bites down his thumb hard enough that he starts to bleed a little bit. He feeds Abigail his blood.

Zachary: "Here you go Abby drink the blood from your favorite uncle."

Tom: "What makes you think you're going to be her favorite uncle?"

Zachary: "Well I know I'm going to be the fun uncle, so she'll favor me."

She stops fussing and Violet's phone rings.

Violet: "Who could that be?" She answers her phone. "Hello?"

Seven: "Hey it's me."

Violet: "Little boy."

He grunts from irritation.

Seven: "What's going on there?"

Violet: "You tell me, psychic kid."

He smiles as it is revealed that he is outside on the grass field near the mansion.

Seven: "I know that Christiana is okay and that the baby is a girl."

Violet: "Ding. Ding. Ding."

Seven: "I just want to make sure that's all. I'm sure that she needs rest now hopefully I'll see her before I leave tomorrow."

Violet: "I see."

Seven: "Can you tell her thanks for me?"

Violet: "Why not tell her face to face?"

Seven: "Oh um.."

Violet: "What are you intimidated by her?"

Seven: "Well.."

Violet: "I take that as a yes."

Seven: "Look I gotta go!"

Violet: "Bye little boy."

Seven gets irritated and hangs up the phone. Back at the mansion, Delia writes up the birth certificate.

Delia: "Okay then Abigail Marceline Collins Sex: Female Date of Birth: May 1st, 1850 now I need the mom and dad to put their signatures as proof of parents."

She hands them the birth certificate for the two of them writing their names as parents.

Christiana: "Meadow?"

Meadow: "Hm?"

Christiana: "Do you want to hold her?" He hesitates to hold her. "It's okay Meadow here she is."

She hands their baby to him and he holds her.

Meadow: "Papa will always protect you."

Christiana: "Already sounding like a protective daddy and she was just born."

Hours went by and it was late at night; Meadow woke up and saw Christiana asleep next to him in her pajamas.

Meadow: "You are even beautiful in your sleep." He kisses her forehead and goes to check on Abigail. "Hm?!" He walks into Abigail's room and sees Dean's spirit standing next to the baby's crib.

Abigail sucks on her pacifier as she looks at Dean and sees that he won't harm her.

Dean: "Too bad I'm dead. I would've been the best uncle to you, Abby."

Meadow is in shock to see Dean.

Meadow: "D-Dean?!"

Dean: "Hey."

Meadow: "How is that possible?! You were sent to purgatory, weren't you?"

Dean: "Here's the thing when you're born a vampire you have no soul but if you were born human and turned into a vampire, you'll still have your soul. Which means that I was able to cross over because I had my soul."

Meadow: "That means when I die, I will cross over with Christiana."

Dean: "I managed to get Death to let me see my niece at least once." Abigail tried to grab Dean's finger, but her hand went through his finger. "Sorry, Abby but you can't touch me because I'm dead."

Meadow: "I'm sorry."

Dean: "Hm?"

Meadow: "Sorry for asking you to help me find Adam if I didn't ask you then you wouldn't have died."

Dean: "You have nothing to be sorry for I was supposed to be dead years ago. I was given a second chance in life and did it by achieving my dream. I was able to see the world by traveling to different countries in the world. I had nothing to regret hell I'm happy to see that my best friend no my brother is happy and married to the woman he loves. Also giving me a beautiful niece to watch over."

Abigail closed her eyes for a second and giggled for the first time.

Meadow: "I think she's happy to see you."

Dean: "Abby Uncle Dean's gotta go now but don't worry I'll be watching over you in heaven okay. Don't forget one thing Abby Uncle Dean loves you very much." Abigail nodded off to sleep. "She looks just like you Meadow she even has your eyes I think she'll take more from you than she will Christiana."

Meadow: "I hope so."

Dean: "Listen Meadow I have to go back up there. It's good to see you again like what we used to say when we were kids, we're not related by blood, but we have a brother bond we're not just friends we're brothers even in death."

Meadow stood in silence and before he knew it Dean had vanished. Christiana walks in to see about him and the baby.

Christiana: "Meadow? What's wrong?"

He notices that she has her strength back.

Meadow: "I saw Dean's spirit he wanted to meet Abigail."

Christiana: "Dean's spirit? I thought vampires went to purgatory after they died."

Meadow: "If you're born a vampire you go to purgatory when you die but if you're born a human and turned into a vampire, you'll still have your soul."

Christiana: "Really now?"

Meadow: "Yeah he was able to cross over because he still had his soul."

Christiana: "That's good to know that he was able to move on."

She went to see Abigail and saw that she was asleep. Meadow notices the way her pajama top is buttoned showing the curves of her breast and her cleavage.

Meadow: "Oh God..."

He has a nosebleed.

Christiana: "Meadow! You should be thankful that Abby didn't see that."

He uses facial tissue to clean the blood off.

Meadow: "It's not like I intended to do that."

Christiana: "Dirty-minded wolf beast."

He puts his arm on her waist and pulls her close to him then gropes her butt gently.

Meadow: "I can't help it when it comes to you."

Christiana: "Yet you can't seem to keep your hands to yourself."

Meadow: "My hands have a mind of their own."

Christiana: "How about this?" She gets close to his face. "Take a cold shower you definitely need it."

He realizes what she means, and his face turns red.

Meadow: "How embarrassing..."

Christiana: "How is it embarrassing? You've poked me before many times with your sword."

Meadow: "It is when you erm point it out..."

She chuckles a bit.

Christiana: "I'm going back to bed."

It is the next day Christiana and Meadow took Abigail out for some fresh air and had her in her baby carriage.

Woman 1: "What an adorable baby!"

Woman 2: "She is so precious!"

Abigail feeling aggravated decides to close her eyes and changes her right eye from green to red to scare off the women.

Woman 1: "Oh my God!"

Woman 2: "What is it?"

Abigail closes her eyes to change her right eye back to green.

Woman 1: "Her eye was red."

Woman 2: "You're just seeing things her eye is green both of them."

The two women walked away, and Christiana and Meadow took the baby to the park in the Sapphire area.

Christiana: "Abby did you do that so that those women would leave you alone?"

Abigail looks around as she sucks on her pacifier.

Meadow: "I didn't think she could change her eye so soon."

Christiana: "Delia believes that it's a temporary thing she can change both her eyes once she gets older."

She takes the blanket off the baby.

Meadow: "Wait! We didn't put the lotion on her she'll!" He sees that the sun has no effect on her. "What the hell? She's not burning."

Christiana: "Delia even said that Abby will be able to be in the daylight without the lotion."

Meadow: "Oh thank God."

Christiana: "Well aren't you a protective daddy."

He blushes as he pulls her close to him and has her sit on his lap and Seven walks up to them.

Seven: "Isn't this déjà vu except for this time you two have a baby."

Christiana: "Well then little boy meet Abigail."

Seven: "Abigail huh? Nice to meet you, Abigail." Abigail grabs Seven by his finger. "She sure looks like Meadow she got his hair color and his eyes."

Christiana: "Any reason why you came here?"

Seven: "Thank you for everything for saving me the day we met and teaching me a lot about hunting. This isn't goodbye I'm just going to be gone for a while and when I come back, I'll be a different guy no I'll be a man. I won't be weak I'll be strong believe it."

Christiana: "I'll believe it when I see it."

Seven: "I figured you say that."

Seven heads to the train station and waits for the train to depart. As the train departs from the station Seven thinks back to the time, when he met Christiana and then reunited with her afterward the times they hunted together. He realizes that he made such great memories with Christiana and hopes that he'll make more memories with her when he returns to Rhinestone City.
