4.2 Mum's visit

"Please talk to me. You haven't said anything to me in days. Say something..."

"I think you should move out for awhile."

Blair sat in shock, "No, I love you and I won't lose you again."

"Blair I'm different now, we are different and things have changed." 

Blair grabbed her and pulled Teddy close to him and replied, "Teddy look at me. Turning into a vampire does take a bit of getting used to but you will. Now tell me you don't love me anymore and if you can I will walk out of here and you will never see me again."

"What..."

"You would never see me again. So which is it, do we end the best thing either of us has known or carry on loving each other? You have till night fall to decide."

Blair left the house in a state before Teddy could answer. Teddy was upset, angry and hurt. The man she loved turned her into a vampire and now all her emotions were intensified and it scared her. This love for Blair was overwhelming as was her anger towards him but the thought of never seeing him again scared her. She would have to figure out these feelings and fast.

Estevan was taking Dawn to get her things to move in with him. When Estevan got downstairs he was met by William, "I would ask but I don't want to know. Anyway a woman barged her way in and said she must talk to you immediately."

"Where is this rude woman?"

"In the living room." Estevan was angry that anyone demanded to see him especially since he was in good mood and they were ruining it. 

He walked in ready to lose his temper and there she stood; looking just how he remembered her.

"Estevan you shaved your hair."

"Hi Mum."

Dawn walked in the room and Estevan's mum being rude and blunt said, "This must be your new fling. She is definitely fit for breeding, Estevan."

Dawn snapped, "Who the hell are you? I'm not his fling and not a breeding..."

Estevan interrupted Dawn, "Hun, this is my mother, Daphne Granger. Can you leave us a minute?" Dawn was leaving the room but not before she heard, "How dare you refer to Dawn as a breeding machine. She is my girlfriend, show some respect."

"I was only joking..."

"Do you see anyone laughing, Mum. This is why I cut you out of my life after the way you treated Holly. She could have lost William because of the stress you put on her."

Dawn was outside the room when Will and Blake asked her, "Do you know who she is?"

"Apparently it's your grandmother."

The boys looked at each other and then continued to listen to the shouting match coming from the room.

"Why do you block your mind all the time?" Daphne asked

"I have my reasons."

"You are going to have to tell the truth soon..."

"Mum just drop it."

"No I won't. The boys need to know the truth and so does..."

"Don't you dare...?"

"Dare, what? Speak the truth. I'm sorry I hurt you..."

"Hurt me. No. I was devastated that I finally learnt the reason Dad never saw me was because he was married and I only found out that because he turned up on my door step six months before he died and told me everything. When I confronted you, you acted like it was no big deal. You lied to me."

"I am sorry but you need to tell what you know or I will."

Estevan stormed out of the room. Will pulled his Dad aside and said, "Heard everything by the way but talk about that later. Spoke to Matt earlier and Darren turned up threatening him and beat the crap out of him telling him to say to you, 'No-one pulls out of a deal.' I think he needs help."

"I'll sort it out. I'll leave in the morning but I'll let Matt know I'm on my way. Dawn's moving in so I'm helping her today but in the mean time keep an eye on my mother."

Estevan was about to leave when Blair turned up. "Teddy wants me to move out."

"Blair give her time. Teddy will come around."

"I told her to tell me by tonight. I can't take it anymore the silence, the anger in her face."

"What did you expect? She would be ok after this. Teddy needs time to figure all this out and..."

Daphne interrupted the conversation, "Hello, I'm Daphne. Estevan's mum and you must be Blair? I heard Estevan mention your name. I hear your marriage is over, shame. There is always someone else out there."

"Blair I'm sorry for her..." 

Blair didn't wait to hear the rest as he turned on Daphne, "Listen, I'm very married and I love my wife. Estevan is right she will come around but if you think I would do anything with an old hag like you then think again."

"Estevan are you going to let him speak to me like that?"

"Mum, I think Blair said it really well. Same old story isn't it. Throw yourself at any man. At least I allow myself to love."

"Blair stay here if you need too. Mum I hope you are gone by the time I get back."
