"Gorgeous wake up." Blair shook her slightly. Blair thought she was playing around and any minute now she was going to pull him in for a loving and tender kiss, like she would do after they made love but she continued to lay there. "Teddy, please wake up. I need you. I can't look after our daughter alone. I can't be alone again, please wake up." His mind was racing what should he do. He laid Teddy in the bed putting the covers over her to keep her warm.

"I'm so sorry I never meant to hurt you, you are the one person I would never hurt." laying next to her wondering what he should do next. There was one of two things he could do and that was call Estevan or the doctor. He picked the phone and dialled the surgery, "Dr Lane, please come and see my wife, she's not breathing." After that he called Estevan, "I think I killed my wife."

He left the room to wait for the doctor and Estevan to arrive but he was pacing the floor and the more he paced the worse he felt. He'd finally found the woman of his dreams, married her and had a baby with her and on a romantic evening while having sex he killed her. This all happened because he got carried away. What would he tell their daughter?

Dr Lane was the first to arrive, "Mr Merrick, what is wrong with Teddy?"

Blair didn't want to say but he knew he had to tell the truth, "I got carried away while having sex and while feeding from her I went too far and now she's not moving. I put Teddy in the covers to keep her warm but nothing. Please help her!"

The doctor went to the bedroom to look at Teddy. Then there was a knock on the door and Estevan entered, "Blair what have you done?"

"I think I killed her. I fed from her and slipped now she is just lying there, why oh why did I need blood then, I should have waited."

"Blair, you are going to be ok..."

"Not without my Teddy." Blair spat back.

"Blair pull yourself together. Look at the state of you. How could you let a woman change you like this?" Estevan demanded.

"Look who's talking. You are giving up everything for Dawn, so don't talk to me about change. I love her and now I've ruined everything."

"Your right Blair, we have changed. I hope Teddy is ok."

The doctor examined Teddy checking her over carefully and then entered the room and said, "Mr Merrick could you come here please?" Blair looked at Estevan and then made his way to the bedroom with Estevan following behind. The moment he saw Teddy lying in the bed, he went straight to her side and without taking his eyes from her said, "I've lost her haven't I? I saw my future with her and only her, now it's gone."

The Doctor quietly replied, "Mr Merrick, I checked her over and I'm sorry to say that as a result of your over feeding she has passed away."

Blair got angry and said, "No, help her please!"

Dr Lane replied, "I can't, I wish I could but it's too late. I even gave her blood in the hope that would help but nothing. I'm very sorry for your loss."

Blair's anger and hurt was at its peak and he snapped at the doctor, "Listen you get her to wake up now. I love her do you understand, now fix my Teddy."

"Blair that's enough." Estevan yelled.

"I'm sorry Doc but as you can tell he is grief stricken."

"I understand but you need to help him through his time of grief."

Blair stormed out of the bedroom trashing his home. The doctor and Estevan went after him. Estevan and the doctor got him to sit down but only just before he finished destroying the whole house.

Estevan asked kindly but firmly, "Why did you really build this house?"

"The moment I laid eyes on Teddy, I knew she was for me so this house was for her and our children, why?"

Estevan turned to the doctor and said, "How many vampires do you treat?"

"About 3 vampires." looking puzzled at Estevan's questions.

Blair was already on the edge, "Who gives a fuck, Estevan. What does this have to do with my dead wife?"

Estevan yelled at Blair with the doctor watching the whole thing, "The reason I asked you, you idiot was you need to remember you love Teddy and the doctor has no clue." turning to him saying, "I'm sorry doc but you don't."

Turning back to Blair, "You drew blood from her right? Then the doctor gave Teddy blood."

"You know I did! So what if the doctor gave her blood?"

"When I saw her lying there I knew but he didn't. I will explain now you are calmer but you haven't killed her. You have started the turning process. She is resting and won't wake till at least tomorrow. Everyone's change is different; I just hope for your sake she understands when she finishes transforming. As she did not ask to be changed you may be in big trouble. I suggest grovel and begging as female vampires can be worse than us male vampires."
