Life Goes On(Pt2)
JTE Journal December 2023
I think I’ve spoken enough about the man in my life and what he means to me, for now anyway. Now I want to write about the one woman that gave me meaning, everlasting love, who stood beside me in any decisions that I made, she knew me before I became what I am and her love for me didn’t change after.
Rebecca, the love of my life. There were many women before her, but never one like her. She was strong, beautiful and so full of life, gave me two beautiful children. I can’t express into words the love I have for Rebecca. Hers was an unconditional love for me, something that is hard to find. I like to say mine was the same; she always told me it was. She courses threw my veins and will always be there, weather in spirit or my memories. Rebecca is the one that encouraged me to live life to the fullest and write down my thoughts, as I’m doing now. She brought laughter and a greater kind of love to my life. I’ll never forget the time we spent together or the love that we shared. Rebecca is a part of me for eternity, although not in body, but in spirit.
Our youngest, Thomas Richard was a blessing, since I found out I wouldn’t be able to father children after I came across. We also have a daughter Amber, she's two years older than Thomas. She blessed me with two children in our time together. The children I never thought possible or so I was told by doctors.
This is the hard part I have to write down. Rebecca was taken away from us in 2015, in a car accident, by the time I felt her weak cry for help, in my mind, it was too late. I tried to reach her before she slipped away, but I couldn’t get there fast enough. Even my ability to fly without the use of a plane was to slow. Nick was there with me as I cradled her in my arms rocking her gently. He forbid me to bring her across, even thou I tried, only to have Nick wrench me away. I didn’t understand why at the time, why he did that. He told me later what happens to a vampire once they take in the blood of the dead. That wouldn’t have matter to me; at least I would have died holding my beloved Rebecca in my arms, to follow her into the next life. But it wasn’t meant to be. He dragged me from the scene kicking and screaming. I hated him for doing that and let him know it very loudly. I was devastated by her death for months.
Life is so unfair in regards to love. I lashed out at everyone around me. Even the children that she bared for me. More so at Amber, so much like her mother that it pains me sometimes to look at her. That may sound selfish on my part, but it’s true. She looks so much like Rebecca, even at the age of 16. Amber has never held it against me thou and it makes me love her all the more. She knew of the enduring love had for her mother and for her.
One of my biggest fears during the weeks after her death...How I could I raise our children alone? I was afraid that I would fail and Rebecca would be disappointed in how they both turned out, when they got older. Oh I knew I wasn't totally alone in raising them. I had my family to help out whenever possible. They just lacked the love of their mother, but looking back now. I can safely put all my fears away. I can never be more proud of Amber and Thomas. I believe Rebecca would agree.
Still looking back on the weeks after the accident. If not for Sav coming home and helping me through the dreadful days after the accident.....you see, he wasn’t there when it happened, he was off somewhere with a lady friend. I would have wasted away to nothing and finally follow her into the next life, as I wanted so desperately to do. We were supposed to be together for eternity. She would tell me the right time for me to bring her across, to share the nights together forever. I walk those nights alone now. I will never love another woman as much as I did Rebecca. I don’t want to go through the pain of that magnitude again. I still carry her in my memories. When I need to seek comfort, that’s where I go, to think of her. She may be gone from this earth, but she’ll live on in my heart and soul.
The children she gave me, will always remind me of her. I watch over them more closely now, like their mother, I share a bond with them through our blood. Amber and Thomas are not vampires. I know where they are at all times and I’m never far away. They know what I am and that I will never grow old like most parents. Drink blood to sustain my life. They know about Sav and Nick and any other vampires that come into our lives. Thomas said it was cool.
Oh little Thomas, well not so little anymore. He’s the spitting image of me. He reminds me of myself as he grew up to become the man he is today. Smart, driven and head honcho at The de Brabant Foundations, the youngest ever to hold that seat in the Company. It’s fun to watch him tangle with Nick all the time about business. When they are both at the house and get into rows about it, I always have to break it up. Constantly reminding Nick that he taught Thomas well in that regards. They never got into knock down drag out fights mind you. Nick has never touched him. Thomas is respectful of his elders and listens to reason. But to sit back and listen to them bicker back and forth pulls me back to the times I did the same thing with Nick. And Thomas never backed down from him either. So defiant Thomas is that The Elders don’t even intimidate him. Sometimes I wonder where he got it form.
I’ve also learned over the years never to keep secrets from them, cause eventually, in the end, those secrets will come out and haunt us or cause all kind of problems. I almost lost my son over one. I never told him about my relationship with Sav, he found out the hard way, the wrong way. The way I never wanted to happen. Thomas had walked in on us one night in bed together and we weren’t sleeping, but right in the middle of some rather incredible heated sex. The look on his face was one of disbelieve and disgust, that his father was fucking another man. Every word and movement of that argument, is etched into my memory. I caught him just as he was about to storm from the house.
“Thomas, wait... let me explain.”
“Explain what Dad… that you’re gay!” Thomas yelled.
“No, it’s not like that.”
“It sure looked that way to me. How long has this been going on?”
“Since before you were born. I was going to tell you when the time was right and you would understand.”
“The time is now and I don’t understand. I think it’s disgusting what you and Uncle Sav were doing.”
”And who are you to judge us Thomas?” Sav asked from behind me.
“You keep out of this, you have nothing to with it.”
“I have everything to do with it. Your father and I share a love that you couldn’t possible understand.”
“Sav please…” I spun on him. “Let me handle this.” I turned back to face Thomas. “You have to understand this Thomas. We’ve been together for a very long time, you know that. Sav is the only one I have ever been with like that. I can try and explain the love we share, but I don’t think you would understand it. It’s nothing to be ashamed of and I refuse to give up the time we share in that way. Sav and I love each other, beyond that of any mortal could ever hope to find. A bond that no one can break. Does that make sense?”
“No…what doesn’t make sense to me is how you betrayed my mother behind her back by taking him to your bed and fucking him.”
Without thinking of my actions. I slapped him across the face.
Thomas glared at me with hatred in his eyes. He spun on his heels and stormed from the house. I was hot on his heels.
“Thomas wait……” I grabbed his arm, I couldn't let him leave just yet.
“No you wait!” he yelled, pointing his finger right in my face. “You lied to me and you lied to her about this. Did mom even know about it.?”
”She knew…yes and supported us both, she understood how we felt. She never thought differently about me, never held it against me. My love for her never changed because I had that kind of relationship with him, nor hers for me.”
“She knew about it?”
“Yes…she actually encouraged me to do it.”
“I don’t understand.” Thomas said calmly.
“Then come back inside and let Sav and I help you understand.”
“What about Amber, does she know about this?”
“No, but I think she has her suspicions. Why don’t you call her, ask her to come over. That way I…we can tell her too.” I looked hopeful, would have gotten on my knees, that Thomas would agree. But the long agonizing minutes stretched as he stared at me.
“Alright.”
So we had gone back inside. Thomas called his sister and she agreed to come over.
I think the only other times I was this nervous was the first time I was alone with Sav and my wedding day. To have to tell my children my ‘other’ past history with Sav, it was making me sick to my stomach about what they would think of me. How much worse Thomas was going to react when he found out the rest? Would they hate me? Disown me? I hope I don’t lose either one of them over this. My children are my life, my whole world. I may be a vampire, but I have human emotions.
Sav really wasn’t helping to calm my nerves, not in words, but in thought…of what we were doing minutes before. I glared at him to stop. When Amber arrived she was concerned about why Thomas had called her, telling her that I had something to tell them.
So after a rather rocky start on my part, Sav and I told them….’everything’. Left nothing out, nothing to chance. When it started, how it started. How their mother had encourage us to be together, confess are true feelings for each other. We didn’t even leave out the times when she would share in that love, her love for both of us. I think that really shocked them both. Sav told them about the time in Australia, when he left me. The times when we would leave for weeks on end, to escape from everything to be alone together. Often bringing in woman to satisfy the need for warm blood and what happened to them afterwards. They took that well. Knowing that I only killed those that were dying of some horrible disease.
We tried to explain how we felt about each other, but sometimes it’s hard to. Sav suggest that we show them, through a blood kiss on our part. I looked at him horrified. I couldn’t show them that, it provokes too many sexual pleasures, they’re my children. Sav said he would do it. But after we told them what to expect, Thomas flatly refused, he said that no man is going to touch his dick for any reason. I thought that was funny, but I understood his position. Like I said, he’s head strong and defiant. Amber said she would give it some though, but only if Sav would do it.
If I wasn’t destined to live forever, I believe the silence in that room after we where done, I would have died an old man waiting on them to say something. They didn’t even ask us to many questions. Amber my first born, the second woman in my life to steal my heart, approached me first. I can still see the look on her face, one of love and understanding. The tears that glistened in her eyes. Her warm embrace The whispered words close to my ear. ‘I love you Daddy.’ I was relieved when she accepted the truth about that part of my life. Sav was equally touched by her words and acceptance of him in that aspect. After all, Sav is still her favorite uncle.
It was short lived however, when Thomas couldn’t accept that part of me, not right now anyway. He wanted time to think, away from me to sort it out. Little did I know when I watched him walk out my door that night, that it would be almost three years before he spoke to me again. I did everything I could to bridge the gap between us. Called countless times, flew to the states to see him, letters, everything. But he refused to acknowledge any of my pleas, attempts to see and talk to him.
I considered giving up my relationship with Sav to get my son back in my life. Well that didn’t go over well with him of course. We got into a pretty good row over that. In the end though, he made me see that the damage was already done. Changing our relationship now was not going to make Thomas change his mind.
I’m not sure to this day who was responsible for Thomas showing up at my door one night. Not a word was spoken between us as we stood there looking at each other. The drive and determination that was always present in his eyes was not there. The look he had was one I had seen countless times when he was a little boy growing up. In his teen years it only glowed brighter. The love he had for his father.
I don’t ever remember crying so hard in my life. The emotions that coursed through me as I held my son in a fierce embrace, shook me to the core. He was feeling the same and held on to me as if he would never let go. He didn’t need to voice his sorrows over his treatment of me of the past years. I already knew them, just in that first five seconds after opening my door to see him standing there. Thomas threw me for another roller coaster ride when he offered his blood to heal the wounds that he had caused. I told him it wasn’t necessary, but he persisted almost begging me to. So I did. I felt sheepish and ashamed afterwards. And Thomas told me that I had been hanging around Sav way too long, that he had seen that same look on him to many times. But it was there, in his blood that I felt his regret, his shame and his love.
In turn he accepted Sav back in his life, offering the same as he did for me. The three of us spent weeks together, getting caught up on each other’s lives. Thomas didn’t know that I had kept tabs on him the whole time and told him so. He expected no less of me for doing it. He did in the end, share a blood kiss with Sav, the whole nine yards as I call it. He came to me afterwards all glassy eyes and I couldn’t help but giggle at him, that wounded his pride. But he took it all in stride, still on the high of what Sav had showed him. He told me he finally understood why Sav and I were together, not just for the sex part, for all of it.
Is it possible to die of an overload of love, if it is, I think I did in those weeks he was home.
“Grandpa….grandpa…!” a shrill voice screamed through the house into the room where Joe was writing, cutting off his thoughts. The 4yrs boy tore into the room and leaped into his lap. Throwing his arms around Joe’s neck, literally choking him.
“What is it Alex?”
“Uncle Nick was going to stab me with his big sword.”
”What you are talking about? Nick wouldn’t do that.” Joe reassured him.
“Of course I wouldn’t Alexander.” Nick said from the doorway.
Joe looked up at him. Nick was leaning on the frame, holding the sword, point down in the carpet.
“What were you doing?” Joe asked him.
“Giving him fencing lessons.”
“Don’t you think he’s a little young for that?”
”I learned to handle a sword much younger than he.”
“He's 4yrs old!” Joe exclaimed. “This isn’t the dark ages Nick. He doesn’t need fencing lessons to protect himself.”
Alex twisted in Joe’s lap and looked at Nick, then stuck his tongue out at him because his grandpa Joe was scolded him.
“It is not intended for protection. The boy needs discipline.” Nick then stuck his tongue out at Alex.
“I think you need a little of your own.” Joe choked back a laugh. He sat Alex on the floor and swatted him on the butt, telling him to go play. Nick growled at him and Alex took off screaming, running through the house.
“Geez Nick grow up.”
“Well I have you to thank for my disintegration back to boyhood.”
“Me!” Joe retorted. “You’re the one who stuck around all these years. You put yourself in that boat without paddles and learned how to play with us big boy’s.”
“Those big boy’s as you call yourselves, have been a bad influence on me.” Nick mocked him.
“You said it, not me. Stop bothering me. Don’t you have somewhere to be Nick?” Joe taunted him. “Someone to meet…I think his name is death.”
“I so enjoy your company Joseph, that there is no where else I’d rather be.”
Joe rolled his eyes and spun around in his chair. “Go find him or something or maybe a rock to crawl under for a few thousands years.”
“Care to join me?” Nick was barely containing his laughter.
“No!….now go away!” Joe yelled.
“What is all the yelling about.” Amber stood just behind Nick, her hands on her hips. “Alex is running around screaming like some banshee. Then I come down hear to see the two of you at it again.”
“He started it.” Joe growled.
“I most certainly did not.” Nick retorted.
Joe spun back around. “Yes you did.”
“Did not.” Nick glared back at him. “He told me to grow up.”
“You accused me of being a bad influence.”
”Well you are.” Nick sarcastically remarked, with a shrug of his shoulder.
Joe opened his mouth getting ready to say something, but Amber cut him off.
“Not another word Dad.”
“Ah…now you’re going to yell at me for something he started!”
“Daddy.” Amber said more firmly.
Joe clamped his mouth shut.
Amber looked at Nick, he was staring at the floor. She noticed that his body was shaking from pent up laughter. “Same for you Nick, not another word.”
Nick snapped his head up. “Anything for you.”
Joe slowly stood up upon seeing the look in Amber’s eyes and her body language geared toward Nick. “Did I miss something here?”
“No….” Amber said all to quickly.
Joe glanced at Nick and saw it there too. Amber and Nick are attracted to each other. Joe stood to his full height. “Are the two of you sleeping together?”
“What….” Amber replied surprised at what he asked. “No….what gave you that idea?”
”A little bird on my shoulder. Where do you think I got it?” Joe almost yelled.
“Dad, I don’t know where you got that idea.” Amber turned away and started out of the room. Joe was right behind her. Nick wasn’t far behind.
“Wait, come back here….AMBER!!”
“What!” she yelled back and faced him.
“You are sleeping with him.”
“Yes we are.”
“Ah…I don’t believe this!” Joe threw his hands in the air. When he turned around, he ran right into Nick. “And you…you I could kill.”
Nick remained silent, letting Joe vent his anger at finding out about them.
“How could you Nick….Amber is my little girl for blee…..
“I’m not a little girl anymore Daddy…” Amber yelled. “…or haven't you noticed?”
“Oh I’ve noticed alright and so has somebody else.” Joe glared at Nick with his last words.
“Amber’s right you know…she is not a little girl.” Nick said very calmly.
Joe got right in his face. “You better shut the hell up, before you lose the ability to speak Nick…I can’t believe you…wait…yes I can.”
“Daddy please…it wasn’t just Nick…I went to him.”
Joe faced her. “I thought we agreed to never keep secrets from each other.”
“I wanted to tell you…really I did…but I was afraid of how you would react.”
“You can’t continue this with him….I…I forbid it!”
“Why not?….I’m old enough to ma….”
“Because…” Joe’s voice boomed throughout the room. “…because he’s….he’s to old for you …that’s why.”
Amber covered her mouth to hide the smile that crept to her lips. ‘He’s worried about our age difference. Not the fact that we’re sleeping together.’ “Our age difference has nothing to do with this Daddy.”
Joe detected the slight weaver of her laughter in her voice. “Amber…Nicks is 900 something years old. That’s a big fucking difference in my book.”
”In vampire years Joe. 32 by her standards, not much of a difference.”
Joe wiped around to face him again.
“I believe you are over reacting to this. I would never hurt or cause harm to Amber. If I did…I think I would have to move to the moon to escape you’re wrath and that of Sav.”
“The moon wouldn’t be far enough Nick.” Joe growled. “And wipe off that smug expression like you’ve conquered the world, before I knock it off.” Joe stormed from the room cursing under his breath. Sav was coming down the stairs and they collided, almost sending Joe back down.
“Hey what’s up lover? I heard you and Amber yelling at each other.”
“Ask them.” Joe regained his balance and continued up the stairs. “Be sure you’re chained down first so you don’t kill Nick like I want to.”
Sav watched him disappear at the top of the stairs. “Uh oh, this doesn’t sound good.” Sav descended the stairs and faced Amber and Nick.
