[C][M] Unexpected

Giacnito, wearing a very skimpy black lingerie dress, no underwear and six inch heels, slid out of her car. Over her less than decently clothed frame was a thin but comfortable black overcoat.

Her destination was the house she had just parked outside of.

Nanda's house.

She was hungry and the new scars over her legs and back were still red and sore. The more blood she got the better and right now she wanted good sex.

The woman pulled a bad from the passenger seat and strolled leisurely towards the door, locking her car door on the way. This trip was unexpected. She hoped Nanda was free tonight.

If she wasn't, it wouldn't take much to get her to drop what she was doing to come and entertain the Succubus.

It was one of Nanda's days off work, and she had spent it lazily lounging about the house, spending time with her lovely little girl, Selene. Her daughter was just a toddler, four years old and getting bigger everyday.

She had her mother's eyes but other then that looked much different. Her skin was not pale, but dark and sun-kissed. Her hair fell in lose ringlets down to her mid back, a deep brunette color. She was chunky too, unlike her terribly lanky and lean mother. Nanda wasn't sure if it was just baby fat still or if Selene would grow to be a well endowed lady like the woman on her father's side of the family.

If asked, the little girl would say that she had two Daddies, because Nanda always dressed and acted and looked like a man. Her parents had been separated from before the time she could remember, but luckily will still close friends. They'd go on family outings from time to time, and they all did love each other.

The only reason for divorce was because Nanda did not love her ex-husband the way a wife should. She loved him as a friend, not as a lover; Because Nanda was, and had always been from the time she first started having crushes as a small child, a lesbian.

And even though the woman was well into her late twenties, she had never had never been with another female until very recently. That single experience was life changing for her.

Every regret or ill feeling she had about her sexuality had melted away after spending such a wonderful evening with Giacinto.

But in this moment Nanda's mind was solely on giving attention to her beloved child. Selene was on a toy horse, the kind that had wheels so she could scoot along the floor with ease. The little girl squealed in delight as she moved her little legs as fast as she could, trying to get away from Nanda.

Now normally Nanda was a very business like person, but in the present situation she was on all fours, chasing her daughter and roaring out between fits of giggles.

"I'm gonna get you Seleeeeene" She taunted as she chased, and in response earned an excited scream from the toddler. In the playful ruckus she had almost missed the knock coming at her door.

"Oop!" She said, freezing. Her daughter did the same, eyes wide with curiosity.

"Someone's at the door." Nanda whispered, glancing over at it. The way she was acting was as if the two were sneaking from someone, and now they had to hide!

"Who is it mommy?" Selene asked, matching her mother's whisper. It was quiet a contrast from all the noise they were making earlier.

"I don't know... maybe it's a monster." She teased, wiggling her fingers by her face very silly like.

There was another knock.

"Maybe it's a vampire." Selene whispered. She knew her mother had a great fascination in Vampires and so it wasn't too random for the girl to guess such a thing.

Nanda's eyes grew wide and her jaw dropped a little. Except she wasn't being silly anymore.

"Maybe you're right." She said, getting to her feet and quickly going to answer the door.

Lo and behold her child had guessed right! Standing there, looking beautiful as ever, was Giacinto.

"Gia!" Nanda said in surprise. "I wasn't expecting you." She said shyly. She wore a very loose fitting shirt. It was untucked and went down to her mid thighs. That and a pair of slacks she had on looked pretty damn casual compared to how nice the Succubus looked. Especially considering how professional Nanda usually dressed.

"I had hoped to catch you unexpected," the woman replied with a little quirk of her lips. She liked seeing people react when she showed up without any warnings.

Seeing people when they weren't dressed up smart to impress her was something she greatly enjoyed doing. A lot of people went out of their way to dress up in the best and most revealing clothing they had when they expected Giacinto around. Giacinto liked seeing them in too-big shirts and slacks that hung off their hips rather than skimpy dresses and tight-fitting clothing most of the time.

She leaned up on the tips of her toes, no easy feet in fuck-me heels, but one she managed almost effortlessly. The coat rose a few inches with the movement, revealing bare flesh almost up to her knees.

"Are you free tonight?" she murmured softly in the younger woman's ear before pressing her lips to the sensitive skin just under. Her teeth barely scraped over the sensitive flesh.

Even without seeing the skimpy clothing the Vampire adorned, Nanda would quite easily guess what Giacinto wanted from those small actions; the hands resting gently on the woman's chest, the lips and teeth grazing over the skin of her neck.

Nanda felt shivers run all the way up her spine and the hairs on the back of her neck stood up. Normally she wasn't the blushing type, but being stuck between Giacinto and Selene was enough to turn Nanda's cheeks bright pink.

"G-Gia I..." Nanda started, but she was cut off.

"Mommy? Who is it?" The little voice called from the back. She rolled on her wheeley horse up behind her mother. The toddler peeked up at the beautiful lady with big olive eyes, curious as to who this person was.

The blushing and stuttering was new.

It was cute.

Her lips parted to say so when she heard the little voice behind Nanda. She dropped back down onto her feet and looked around the woman to see Selene.

She was adorable. The picture of a happy little toddler on her toy horse.

She hadn't known Nanda had a child.

Giacinto crouched down and cocked her head to the side. Crouched like this, her hair pooled around her on the ground. "Hey there."

When Giacinto spoke the small child was able to catch a glimpse of her teeth. Her eyes lit up and a big smile came to her young face.

"Are you a vampire?" She asked, jumping up and down a bit on her horse.

"Selene..." Nanda started, but then just smiled. She didn't know if Giacinto liked children or not, but from the way it looked she seemed friendly towards the little girl rather then aloof or annoyed.

The woman gave a shocked noise at the question, eyes turning up to Nanda.

What did she do now?

"Nanda...?" Her red eyes turned up to the blonde woman. She didn't want to tell the girl that she was a Vampire if Nanda didn't want her to.

Her tongue ran over her lower lip slowly as her eyes turned back to the girl staring at her curiously.

Nanda laughed softly, looking a little guilty. As soon as Giacinto came into the house she'd be able to pick up on Nanda's fascination with the supernatural. She had almost every Vampire book in existence, DVD collections, and a few decorations such as paintings that depicted the blood sucking folk,

Now she'd never told her daughter any of it was real, but she'd never told her it wasn't real either. How could she know that she knew the truth?

The blonde woman then diverted her eyes to look at her daughter. She put a finger up to her lips and made a shhh noise.

"It's a secret." She whispered, hoping that Giacinto wouldn't mind. "Can you keep a secret Selene?"

The little girl nodded her head up and down quickly, then smiled again at the stranger.

"I won't tell anyone." She whispered, her eyes bright from being able to know the special secret.

Giacinto gave a soft chuckle and followed Nanda's example, pressing a finger to her lips with a little grin.

"Only special people get to know I'm a vampire."

The woman stood and slid past Nanda into the house. She didn't particularly want to be standing on the front step for the rest of the evening.

"And I think you're special enough to know as long as you keep it a big secret." Her voice had taken on a more carefree tone. She loved being around children.

Giacinto crouched in front of the girl again and smiled.

"I'm Giacinto. What's your name, sweetie?"

Nanda was really happy that Giacinto seemed to like children all right. It would have really weighed on her if Selene was just a mere inconvenience to the Vampire. As a parent Nanda was always trying to be aware of how her child was making people feel. As such Selene was a very well behaved little girl. But for some people, just the little part was enough to make them not like her.

As for the toddler, she was elated that she was special enough to know the big secret! She couldn't help but giggle a little at how important she felt, her chubby cheeks rosy and quiet honestly adorable beyond belief.

"I'm Selene. And I'm twenty!" She said, the smile never leaving her face. Nanda chuckled softly. For whatever reason Selene always told people she was twenty years old.

"You're pretty." The child then said, leaning forward on her toy horse. "Your the prettiest Vampire ever." She complimented, just speaking her mind.

"Twenty? Well, you're practically an adult. Such a mature girl. I think I did right telling my secret to you, right, Nanda?"

Her eyes turned to the human woman, her bright smile still on her face.

Selene was absolutely beautiful. An adorable little girl.

Giacinto had been shocked that Nanda had a daughter. But she didn't mind not getting the chance to take blood from the woman at the moment. Spending time with the little girl sounded nice. It had been too long since she had last spent time with a child.

Selene was taking an immediate liking to Giacinto, especially because she hadn't dismissed her claims of being twenty like so many people did. The little girl hopped off of her horse and straightened her shorts, fixing a little wedgie she had.

"How many are you?" She asked, wondering how old the Succubus was.

When Tony turned to look up at Nanda, she locked eyes with her and almost felt like her breath could be taken away. This was a whole new side to the vampire that Nanda had never seen before. She hadn't thought it was possible for her lover to get any more beautiful, but with the light she had in her eyes now, she was.

"If I'd known you'd be stopping by I would have cleaned up some more." She said shyly. It was funny though, her house was very tidy, especially considering she had a child. But Nanda was a neat freak so what was messy to her was often no problem to everyone else.

Giacinto bit her lip as she tried to date her age, eyes turning away.

She rarely bothered with ageing herself any more. She never needed to know exactly how old she was; just that she had her status as the oldest Dhampir in known existence.

"Five...thousand?" She didn't sound confident. Five thousand, give or take a few centuries. She definitely hadn't been seen by the Fae five times, so she wasn't quite five thousand yet. It had been seven hundred years since she had last seen the Fae...

"Four thousand seven hundred." She sounded more confident about that number.

It was still a ridiculously large number. Giacinto, for what little she did now, was an old woman with a lot of history behind her.

"You're house is far tidier than mine, Nanda," the woman chuckled. She raised herself to her feet once more and reached down to Selene, lifting her up effortlessly. "Alley oop." She nuzzled her nose against the child's before cradling her to her hip.

The girl was absolutely beautiful. Wide dark eyes and beautiful long dark hair, with the same ringlet curls as her own.

"You have a child and your house is absolutely immaculate. I'm jealous of your ability to keep your home so clean. I don't have any children under the age of fifty and my place is constantly a mess." Her 'children' were all Vampires; creatures she had made for the sole purpose of serving her. The rest of the occupants of her house, though, lived like pigs. There was always a mess somewhere in her mansion.

She didn't understand how so few people could make such a mess of such a large area.

The woman left her bag in the hall, where she had dropped it when she crouched to speak to Selene, as she walked into the living room, still carrying the girl. Her heels didn't even teeter as she moved. Giacinto had had a long time to get used to walking in such high heels.

She slumped onto the couch unceremoniously, grinning as she began ticking the girl in her hold.

Giacinto could be the very image of elegance, but there were times when even she looked like an average person. And right now was a good example of that. she was sprawled out on Nanda's couch, wearing a long black coat, playing with the human's daughter as if it was natural to do so. She looked normal in that moment. Just an average woman playing with her lover's daughter; laughing with the girl as she tickled her.

Both mother and daughter's eyes widened at hearing how old the woman was. She looked so youthful and lovely, not aged at all.

"That's even older than my *Nonna and Nonno!" Selene said, placing her hands on her cheeks in surprise, but excitement as well. "But you look younger then my mamma!"

Nanda herself was in a state of shock. An amazed sort of awestruck shock. She'd figured that since Giacinto was a vampire she was much older then she looked. But nearly five thousand!? That was clear back in B.C!!!

The blonde woman ran her hand through her hair pushing it out of her face just for it to fall back in place.

When Giacinto raised Selene she would find that even though the little girl was chubby, she didn't weigh much. The child was very social and not shy of people at all, so when she was picked up she giggled and held onto the Vampire back. With her small hand she reached out and gently pet Giacinto's thick curly hair, admiring it. No one in the little girl's family had long hair, especially like that!

Nanda blushed at the compliment and walked over to the couch. She had noticed the bag and wondered what was inside, but of course wasn't going to peek through it.

"Well.... thank you Giacinto." She said, appreciating the compliment. She sat down next to the two and laughed softly when the vampire started tickling Selene. The child wriggled about, laughing out at the tickles, even if Giacinto were to hardly touch her, just the thought and action of someone wiggling their fingers over her was enough to get her.

"Vampire's ages are a big secret, too. Mustn't tell anyone." Though the severity of her words weren't clear with the large grin plastered to her face, it was a serious matter.

Five thousand was ancient. It meant you were old and you had been through many battles and wars. You had seen things that no one else had seen before; your knowledge had been lost in time gone by.

If people heard of her age, they'd hunt her. Try to kill her for the countless bounties on her head. Even in these days, Hunters were strong forced.

This was why Giacinto had settled in a fairly small city by her standard and had taken up owning bars and, now her partner had left, hotels in the area. It was a source of income and it kept her going, though it bought little attention to herself. It was the best way she could live at the moment.

The contents of the bag would be revealed later that night. Now wasn't the time.

The woman smiled softly as Selene stroked at her hair and began giggling and squirming.

She had missed being around children. Their endless curiosity never ceased to amaze her. They were so full of life and wonder. She adored seeing children so curious about the world around them.

"So, little Selene, you said you were twenty. When will you be twenty one?" she asked, her fingers sliding down the child's sides, wiggling in a gentle ticking motion.

Selene nodded her head up and down quickly. She was social, but very good at keeping secrets. After all her mom had quiet a few secrets herself. If there was one thing that really set Selene apart from other children, it was her ability to keep a secret.

Nanda would never have guessed that Giacinto was so good with kids. She didn't just seem to like her daughter, but her daughter really seemed to like the Vampire as well. It was rare when someone could just click like that with a person so young. And Selene was practically a fetus in comparison to Tony's five thousand years on Earth. At any rate it was an admirable and endearing feature that Nanda enjoyed. She watched the two, her heart doing little flutters at seeing them interact.

It may have been wishful thinking, but there was something special about the three of them sitting there like that.

Kind of like a family.

Nanda was far too practical to let herself dwell on overly romantic and idealistic thoughts such as that, especially since she had just met the woman. But the thought did come to her mind and it made her feel warm. Like just the possibility was something to cherish.

"In the fall time. Nowember." Selene giggled, her eyes lighting up. She was still young enough to pronounce "v's" as "w's" if they were in the middle of a word. Luckily the "v" in vampire was at the beginning so Giacinto wasn't a "Wampire."

"Really? Our birthday's are so close."

She stuck her tongue out with a little grin, the silver piercing shining in the light.

"Mine's in August; in the fall, too." Their birthday's were a few months apart, but still in the same season.

And Giacinto was already planning on things she could do for the girls birthday. Perhaps a big toy that Nanda wouldn't get her? Something cliché like a horse ride or a big party just for the girl.

She'd put a lot of effort into the girl's party.

"When's Mama's birthday?" she stage-whispered to the girl, eyes turning up to Nanda with a mischievous glint in her eye.

She could plan what she was going to do for Nanda's birthday, too. That would most likely be a little less innocent than a horse ride or a party.

Selene bit her bottom lip as she grinned, her eyes never losing their light. It was clear she was taking a strong liking to Giacinto.

When asked the question, the smile suddenly dropped from her face, as if she had been caught doing something bad. She looked back and forth between her mother and her new Vampire friend.

"I don't know." She admitted in a whisper. "But, but... uhm... uh... you have a pretty thing in your tongue." She said, changing the subject back to the tongue ring she had observed. She stuck her own tongue out as if to show Giacinto where it was.

Nanda just chuckled and shook her head at her daughters silliness. She was actually born in August as well, and was curious to what day in August Giacinto was born. It would be ironic if they had to same birth date.

"Well then, I'll have to sneak around and find out without Mama knowing."

She gave the girl a little wink. She knew she'd just end up asking Nanda, but she could play secret- spy with Selene to keep the girl amused.

She loved her attempts at keeping the girl amused.

Giacinto stuck her tongue out again, revealing the silver metal encasing the blue gem piercing her tongue.

"I think it's pretty, too."

Once more her eyes flickered to Nanda and her tongue curled a little before sliding back into her mouth.

"It's in the fall too." Selene whispered, scooting up so that her lips where right by Giacinto's ears. Subconsciously she let her little hand continue to softly pet the Vampire's long curls.

Playing along with them, Nanda looked away, acting totally oblivious to the fact that they were talking about her.

She did let her eyes flicker over though when they began speaking of the tongue ring again.

The human woman didn't miss Giacinto's playful tongue curl, and it made Nanda's cheeks again blush as she quickly looked away. Her toes wiggled slightly in some sort of excited anticipation for what she knew that tongue could do.

"The fall, hmmm?"

That narrowed it down to a few months. Now she just had to guess what Fall months it could be in.

August, September, October or November. She had a one in four chance of getting it right.

Giacinto gave a wicked smirk as Nanda looked away blushing. Giacinto could picture just what the woman was thinking about. Probably something very similar to what she was currently thinking about.

The woman scooted closer to Nanda, Selene still in her lap.

She swung around on the couch and sprawled out on Nanda's lap, smirking up at her. "Hey there."

Selene giggled when Tony swung on the couch and laid down. She now rested over the top of the woman, and her little curious hands played with one of the buttons on Tony's coat while she looked up at her mother.

Nanda gazed down at the two, and in this moment her features were very soft. Often times during the week she looked rather tense or stressed out. But for whatever reason, whenever she was around either her daughter or Giacinto, her features softened greatly. It made her look considerably younger.

And since she had two people she loved spending time with her right here together, well she was very content.

She ran her hand tenderly across the Vampire's cheek.

"Hey." She replied. "We have dinner cooking... I don't know if Vampire's eat real food though... You're welcome to join us though if you do."

"Mamma always makes too much." Selene said with a giggle.

Her eyes slid shut and she leaned into the fingers stroking her cheek.

"A nice home cooked meal not cooked by me. It's a little early for my birthday," she chuckled softly.

Giacinto loved 'human food.' She enjoyed eating; something that so few Vampires did any more. Vampires were so stuck up their own backsides that they couldn't indulge in anything below them.

"What're we having?" Her wine eyes flickered open to look up at her human once more.

Sharing a meal with her human. When was the last time she had done that? None that she could account for. Her humans rarely had the time for her beyond feeding her blood and having sex with her. Playing with their children; laying around on the couch... It hadn't happened before.

She liked this new change.

Nanda was excited that Giacinto wanted to eat with them. It had been a while since she had enjoyed cooking for anyone outside of her family. And while she wasn't the most gourmet chef in the planet, she was defiantly very skilled when it came to the kitchen.

There were a few recipe's she'd perfected, and luckily tonight she had made one of those meals.

"Eggplant, Mozzarella, and Saffron Rice Bake." She said, trying to sound modest and hide the pride in her voice. "I hope you like vegetables and cheese." She said as she twirled one of Giacinto's curls.

"And Lemonsoda!" Selene chimed in. "It's good if you don't like meat. Mamma doesn't ever make anything with meat in it. Do you like lemonsoda? I loooove lemonsoda." The child rambled.

"We also have wine if you would like." Nanda offered with a smile.

"It sounds great."

It was an unusual dish. And it truly did sound nice. Giacinto couldn't wait to try it. She hadn't made that exact dish before.

Doesn't ever make anything with meat in it?

Her eyes flickered up to Nanda curiously. "You're a vegetarian?"

A vegetarian that chose to become a meal to a Vampire... It sounded ridiculous. Tony couldn't help but to let out a small chuckle at the idea, one hand lifting to cover her mouth until the giggles subsided. "Sorry, sorry. I just had an amusing thought." She didn't want Nanda thinking she had any issues with not eating meats.

"Yes, I like lemonsoda." She smiled at the excited girl.

"Pop is fine. I like a nice glass of wine but if I drink it too often people might start calling me an alcoholic."
