A few more days pass and Dagger noticed that she was getting weaker and also paler than normal. He also noticed that she was loosing weight. This caused the monks to be alarmed and concerned. One of the monks had come up to Dagger and told him that the elder monk needs to talk to him. So he goes to the elder monk, who looked even more alarmed and worried than the others. Dagger takes that he possibly raised Stella from a child. â€œWe noticed that Stella has being loosing weight, has gotten weaker and sickly pale. And yet we followed the midwifeâ€™s instructions on what she should eat and drink. Maybe you have an idea.â€ He says. Dagger stood there thinking it over. Then he looks at the elder monk. â€œWell the babies are part vampireâ€¦so they may be feedinâ€™ off her blood for nutrition.â€ He says. â€œI have an idea, and it might make her better.â€ He adds. The elder monk nods, â€œGood! Weâ€™re willing to try anything, to make her strong again. And that would explain their rate of growth.â€ The elder monk says. Dagger nods, â€œSince they are feedinâ€™ off of Stella, I figured why not trying usinâ€™ my blood instead and see what happens.â€ He says. Again the elder monk nods, â€œWe shall see what happens.â€ He says.<br/><br/>Dagger then nods and leaves, he then finds Stella. â€œI have an idea on why you are feelinâ€™ so weak and lookinâ€™ sickly. The babies are feedinâ€™ off your blood for nutrition.â€ He says. Then he leaves and comes back with a sharp object and cuts his wrist. He puts his arm up to Stellaâ€™s mouth, who pulls away refusing. Of course his wound heals instantly. â€œYou need to, it wonâ€™t harm me and it will help our babies.â€ He says. He then cuts his wrist again. And holds his arm up to Stellaâ€™s mouth, â€œDonâ€™t do it for me or the monks, do it for whatâ€™s inside of you.â€ He says. And then she bites down on his wrist, of course she bit down hard. But he was used to pain. A few minutes pass and Stella began to get a healthier look to her, little by little. A few more minutes pass and Dagger began to feel dizzy. â€œOk, Stella that enough or your gonna make me pass out.â€ He says. Of course she didnâ€™t listen. â€œCâ€™mon Stella! Iâ€™m gonna pasâ€¦â€ was all Dagger could get out before he passes out. She had taken too much from him.<br/><br/>Dagger sits up and looks around; he was in Stellaâ€™s chambers, sprawled out on her clump of furs. It was the next morning.<span style="font-style: italic"> What happened? Now I remember, she took too much, oh wellâ€¦at least I hope sheâ€™s a little better. </span>he thinks. He looks over to see Stella looking at him with a concerned worried expression on her face. â€œIâ€™m fine.â€ He says. He was still a little woozy and weak, but he could get up and go hunting. He noticed that Stellaâ€™s stomach was a little more distended then the day before, but not by much. He stands up, â€œIâ€™ll be back, Iâ€™m going hunting.â€ He says as he leaves her chambers. As he goes to leave he stops, â€œAnd if you are wondering, no Iâ€™m not mad.â€ He says and then he leaves. The day slowly passes and occasionally he would have to let Stella feed from him. Night soon came, and this time they slept in Stellaâ€™s chambers. Now that Stella was pregnant, Dagger kept her even closer than before. But this time he was the one who slept close to her, because he was afraid that he would hurt the babies if he put his arms around her.<br/><br/>The next morning arrives; of course Dagger was still asleep. Hunting and letting Stella feed from him made him exhausted. He had moved in his sleep, because he was restless. He had moved to where he was resting his head on Stellaâ€™s stomach, some-what curled up in a ball. It was like he was using Stellaâ€™s stomach as pillow or he was listening to movement in his sleep. And the first thing Stella should noticed when she wakes up is the smile that is on his face, as if he was happy that she was pregnant, he had actually warmed up to the idea. At first when they both found out she was pregnant, he wasnâ€™t happy. But now he thought it over that night, that is why he was restless and he had warmed up to the idea. It meant that he could be even closer to his mate than before, which was something he actually wanted. As he slept, he also let out what seemed like a happy sounding sigh in his sleep as well.
