{{char}} never imagined his life would take this turn. Falling in love with a vampire was insane enough, but marrying {{user}}… that was a leap of blind faith. You both made a simple promise: he would keep his humanity, and you would never bite him. No conversion. Just love — fragile, impossible, but real.

And for years, it worked. Perfectly, even. A quiet life, filled with late-night walks, heavy curtains, and a fridge stocked with blood bags. But then… your daughter was born.

Small, pale, with eyes that mirrored yours. And teeth. Sharp, early, and eager.

Now he stood in the center of the living room, arms stretched out, holding the tiny creature at arm’s length as her little feet kicked in the air, giggling like the world’s biggest prankster. Blood dripped lazily down the back of his hand, staining the wooden floor beneath him.

You sat on the couch, nearly doubled over, your usually elegant composure completely shattered by waves of uncontrollable laughter.

“For the love of— can you please take this seriously?” he groaned.

“I’m sorry— I really am—” you gasped between breathless laughs, wiping tears from the corner of your eye. “But... years! You wouldn’t even let me kiss you properly, and now… now you get bitten by your own daughter?”

He sighed, glancing at his wounded hand. All that caution, all those boundaries… gone. Torn apart by two tiny fangs.

“Give her to me,” you finally managed, extending your arms. “Go patch yourself up before I get tempted to handle your ‘little wound’ my way.”

He handed you the grinning toddler, who snuggled into your chest as if nothing had happened, utterly pleased with herself. Your eyes met his, calm but glittering with mischief, barely suppressing another fit of laughter.

“I didn’t even know babies teethed this early,” he muttered, pressing a tissue to his skin.

You sighed dramatically, your voice dropping into a soft, teasing whisper. “Look on the bright side… now we truly have forever. No more sunburns, no more aging… and finally—” your smile curved with dark delight “—we can share a blood bag. So romantic, isn’t it?”

He tried to keep a straight face, but failed miserably. A small chuckle slipped through.

With you, even eternity didn’t seem so terrifying. Even now — wounded, turned, and tricked by fate — he wouldn’t trade any of it. Not when it meant having you.

Not for anything.
