@ꕥ♛ Andy Bathory You'll be fine, I am sure of it
....Yes....unfortunately the more western covens ruined that for us
Okay I will go in, I will be quick
/runs on over to the stores and enters the pharmacy, I look at all of the options before I grab one that seems the best/
/comes out of the store, the test hidden in a bag as I approach you/
Andy, let's go back so that you may take the test, okay?

@ξ♞ Yume Fuji That sounds brutal, I won't survive it this time..
/my hand clutches into my stomach beneath the fabric of my clothes, all this makes me think of how I lost my baby boy, all this scares me/
Japan should have stayed pure as it was, humans should be treated with respect too, your clan must have been way more friendly than what is happening here.
/my gaze shows relief as you offer to get the test for me/
Yes please, thank you Yume. I will just wait here for you if that's okay. I don't anyone to see or more so small me.

@ꕥ♛ Andy Bathory Yes, it can be that bad...these European and African-based clans are ruthless...
Humans are beneath them, thus you should not truly become one with them
It is quite sad...Japan wasn't like this before outsiders came along...
/looks at you curiously, wondering why you are becoming more nervous after we teleport/
Andy...do you want me to get the test for you?
You go and shop around okay? I can get the box and then we will go back to your suite...would that make you feel more comfortable?

@ξ♞ Yume Fuji I never really thought of that /I might not have been the best person for not caring about my surroundings when my heart and mind were always with Hoseok and I have never really done anything around people the first time I got to the palace/
Yes, let's hope this is all just a bad dream I will wake up from...
Is it really this bad? I can't have anyone know. /I sigh as I worry more and more, if there was actually a baby growing inside of me, a hybrid one, it would be the end for me once more, I would not survive losing another baby/
/as your hand holds onto mine I have rose petals swarm around us to carry us to the shopping center, we end up in a quiet corner close to the pharmacy but there are many people walking around the other shops/
I'm not sure if I can do this, Yume

@ꕥ♛ Ely Bathory "Ah, I forgot. He certainly looks like a prince doesn't he?" Prince, Elite, Common, even a Lesser. It did not matter, as long as the child was made from the of two vampires. Emily would not be quick to judge anyways, love is love. And it was sheer luck for her to be turned by the Queen of the Bathory clan, not everyone would be graced with luck such as hers. "As long as he is a vampire, there will be no problems Princess, don't be embarrassed about who you love." Emily reached for Ely's hand once more, stroking her thumb over the princess's hand reassuringly. "Let's make your pregnancy as comfortable as possible, so no stressing."

@ꕥ♞ Emily Mei Ely blinked surprised that Emily was so certain that her baby will happen. She followed the other before looking at all the baby clothes. It was more than she had ever since in all her life. " wait emily.....the baby's father isnt a prince...its...a common vampire..." she wanted to atleast confess it to Emily whom she trusted with all her heart. Emily would understand what it meant to fall so hard for someone...right? She asked herself as millions of thoughts on how this could take a different turn than she hoped for.

@ꕥ♛ Ely Bathory "Dream?" Emily's eyebrow rose at the thought. She had always considered getting pregnant as a thing that could ruin a woman's future if not careful. Thus, when she found that she would never conceive without ever truly trying, she was almost ecstatic. A child would not allow her to live how she has always wanted, thus she was glad to not be able to have one. "You know Princess...even for humans, it is really hard to get pregnant. Like miscarriages are really common."

She had noticed the way that Ely's tears streamed down her face, but Emily chose to not say anything in regards to it, as Ely may not want her to know. Thus, she merely squeezed the princess's cold hand. "I'm sure that this time you were able to get pregnant Ely," She stated in a serious voice, hoping to show that she believed in this dream that Ely had. "Don't be too concerned about that Voodoo Queen, if she did anything to that child, it would possibly spur a division in the vampire clans....and that prince...he loves you doesn't he?"

Ely had moved off into the store, making Emily be left by herself to wander. Though, she was still attentive to the scent of the Princess, making sure that she was to be in no real danger. That is when she found the baby clothes. With a sly grin on her face, Emily quickly selected a few items from the shelf and paid for them, rushing through her transaction when she heard Ely's call.

"I am right here Princess," she said as she came up to Ely. "I bought these, now the baby has to come." Emily's smile widened as she ushered Ely out of the store. "Let's look at more baby stuff and some maternity clothes, you'll get big because your baby will be very healthy."

@ꕥ♞ Emily Mei Ely listened carefully to what the elite said. She felt a bit confused with the terms but decided to not ask or she might get more confused with human things which she was not use to. " I did....just hope it works but I doubt it " she whispered in a sad tone. This time even if she had gotten the potion, she still felt that nervousness that maybe the potion didn't work and that all her efforts had gone to waste since she had already gone two times there. If it didnt work this time, Ely would have to give up on her dream to become a mother.

" if it doesnt work....then my dream doesnt come true...I just..." she frowned as her eyes were filled with tears then they slowly rolled down her cheeks. She tried to stop them but the feeling of not getting pregnant shattered her completely. It was hard as it was. " so....due to that feeling I have, I decided to go outside and just enjoy myself....maybe I'll just adopt from somewhere" she shrugged. " plus....the queen anzh wont be so pleased to hear that one of the vampires from her side mixed blood with ours...maybe it's for the best of two parties" she gave Emily's hand a gently squeeze so the other wouldn't be so worried about her. She didnt like being a burden.

Walking into the first store, ely looked around the dresses seeing if she could find one that she liked accidentally separating herself from Emily. She looked and soon found herself looking across the store to where a baby clothing store stood. She wiped her tears slowly and sighed. " just forget about it...ely...it wont ever happen" she whispered to herself. Sometimes she hated being born vampire due to all the restrictions that were placed. " emily?" She called a few seconds later to see if the other was still in the store before moving to the next one.

@ꕥ♛ Ely Bathory "That is just fine Princess, please do not apologize for your tardiness." Emily bowed her head ever-so-slightly in politeness to the other woman. Despite her formality, which was how she treated most of the royals, Emily was very close with them. However, she chose to act in such a manner, as a way to have a sort of professionalism, to show that despite how bonded they could be, she could be trusted to not view them being on the same level. Or that she is possibly better than them.

Thus, it was no surprise to her when Ely grasped her hand. "I am always available Princess, I will always say yes if I am needed."

As they walked, a silence fell between them. This allowed Emily to think of just why Ely was sick, that is until she asked a rather odd question. "Pregnant...? Well, a human woman's menstrual cycle would end. That's the first step...but vampires don't get that, so you wouldn't know....hm...I guess also morning sickness..." She eyed the princess curiously, her dark eyes showing a bit of knowledge as to just why Ely was asking.

"Did you take a potion?"

@ꕥ♞ Emily Mei Ely quickly ran through the palace halls as she grabbed her purse almost tripping as she got out. "Sorry Emily, just felt a bit sick" she smiled walking down slowly before holding onto Emily's hand. "Thank you for saying yes....i really dont know who to ask since you are the only elite I trust with all my heart" as they began walking she blinked to regain her sight feeling slightly dizzy but didn't mention it. She stayed quiet for a bit as they reached the shopping district. " H-how does a human woman know that they are pregnant...?" she asked softly while looking around. She felt weird here since she barely went out from the palace as she felt safe there yet she wanted to get out of her comfort zone to live a little.

@ꕥ♛ Ely Bathory Emily waited patiently just in front of the palace doors for the princess to exit. Ely had requested for Emily to attend her shopping spree, of course for a form of protection. She could not ask someone beneath Emily's power, or else they would not be able to shop in the daytime when most vampires were sleeping so that their sensitive skin would not burn.

Emily did not mind it, as she loved clothes as well and decided that she may as well check the racks while Ely shopped as well. Of course, no matter what, she will not let her guard down. God forbid she did so and something happened to the royal. It would be quite devastating if the Bathory house lost a princess, especially one so loved, even by other households. So Emily waited for the princess, a bit excited for their day of shopping.
