She was pretty sure the fertilization had taken, but she had an appointment later in the week to find out for sure. The whole pregnancy business was making things weird for her, though. The night before, she'd had a dream about Saw, a movie series she hadn't even watched in two years. Working at a clinic and being pregnant, though, reminded her of Jill Tuck and the fate of her baby. Fortunately she didn't work at a clinic with any sort of addictive drugs, and though she did work at a clinic which fed vampires, she wasn't worried about any addicts killing her baby by accident. Still, the dream had unsettled her.

Work had taken her mind off of it, though she was reminded of it as she was leaving the Blood Bank that evening. It was nothing but a quick flash but it made her shudder. She'd never had to really worry about keeping someone else safe, but that's what she would have to do, and it was a very fragile life she would be protecting. Even as a nurse, it was probably the most responsibility she had ever been given. On the other hand, if everything went according to plan, she'd have a beautiful little baby to live with at the end of it all, and she hated living alone. The thought brought a smile to her face and drove away the memories of the nightmare. As she turned around from closing the door behind her, Anneliese saw a familiar face--not uncommon in a small town in which she had literally met everyone. "Hey," she greeted them.

Her smile widened. Addy was one of her favorites to come by the Bank--not because he was great at giving blood (passing out isn't easy to deal with) but because he was generally such a happy kid. It was nice to see so much positivity in a place like Shadow Falls, and he was a walking bag of sunshine just about. She couldn't figure out if it was related to his age or if he was just born that way, just like his appearance. It had taken her a while to believe Addy was a boy, and even then she occasionally had her doubts. If she could help it, she just refrained from using gender-specific pronouns when talking about Addy.

She eyed the Kit Kat bar in his hands. "That's probably a good idea after the spell you had in there. How are you feeling now, by the way? Sorry I couldn't check on you earlier, had my hands full."

Addy's gaze darted down to the chocolate bar that he held in his hand and he smiled brightly. "I thought I could use some more sugar!" he agreed cheerfully. "Even though I had the juice and cookies - those cookies are really good!" They were yummy soft ones, and not hard ones that were like coasters!

He took a bite from the end of the bar, the crisp inside crackling a little bit. "Oh I feel a lot better, thanks! I just always feel woozy when I see those needles!" They looked so sharp and scary! Addy was not a fan!

Her smile turned into a grin. "We try to make sure those cookies are fresh. It's not hard with the number of people we get coming in each week; they don't have time to go stale. Next time you come in near closing I'll see if I can't give you any leftovers we have, okay?" She could hear the crunching of his candy bar from where she stood, and she chuckled.

"I can completely relate. I've never passed out giving blood before, but I actually can't stand pain. I'm sorry you have to go through that so often," she added sheepishly, again feeling the guilt that came with knowing what all her job entailed. "I wish there was a better method. Maybe we should try blindfolding you next time you come in so you don't see them."

"That would be really nice of you!" Addy exclaimed. He did like sweets. Cookies and cake... and cupcakes! Which were one of his all time favourite things. They were so cute and bite sized.

"Do you want a piece?" he offered of his Kit Kat, since they so nicely snapped into neat sections. Perfect for sharing! "Well, I don't like it. But it could be worth," he said with a sweet sort of reasonability. "Maybe blind folding would work!" he added brightly. "I could try that!"

Anneliese beamed. She enjoyed making the Bank trips more pleasant for those who had no choice but to go. It made her feel like she was making up for the fact that she was draining them like a food source, if only a little. Especially because they had Stabitha working there, though that wasn't something she would dare say out loud in public.

"Oh, thank you," she said, accepting his sugary offering and taking a nibble of it with a crunch. "I have to admit, I haven't had a Kit Kat in over a year, maybe two." She took another bite. "I can try to find a really pretty blindfold," the nurse added thoughtfully.

"You're welcome!" Addy chirped as she handed over the section. "I love Kit Kats. They're on of my favourite chocolate bars." Of course Addy liked chocolate bars in general! But Kit Kat were one of the best. So nice and crunchy.

"They have some really pretty ones. Well, those sleep mask things," he said. "I saw one that was Hello Kitty, it was super cute!" He had almost bought it, but then decided he didn't need it because he had a sleep mask already. And he could only wear one at a time!

"It's a very good brand," she agreed as she finished up the last of her piece of chocolate. "It isn't one of those chocolates that taste tacky or stale. It even sounds fresh with that little crunch it makes," she added with a little laugh. "So easy to save for later, too, if you have to for some reason."

Anneliese raised her eyebrows in interest. "Hello Kitty sleep masks?" At least it wasn't a Hello Kitty blindfold. She'd heard some stories about some of the products they made with Hello Kitty labels in Japan and...well, she didn't want to think about that at that particular moment with underage company present. "Was that at the mall? I might have to look into it. Maybe I'll even get a variety for the bank, for people who don't like such cute things."

"And they taste good if they've been in the fridge," Addy added. He liked chocolate bars when they were a bit cold - especially on a warm summer day! It was refreshing and gave them a little more added crunch.

"Yes! It was super cute, it had Hello Kitty eyes on it and it was pointed like it had little ears," the teenager explained vividly, with little finger gesturtes to indicate pointy kitty ears. "It was at the mall! That store that sells accessories and things!" Which Addy liked a lot, because none of it was too expensive, but it was better quality than, say, Claire's or some place like that.

Her expression turned blissful at the thought. "Addy, you are so right, they would taste better from the fridge. Extra crunchy. I could see this quickly becoming a pregnancy craving. I might have to stock up ahead of time. And if it does? I'm blaming you," she teased.

Anneliese chuckled at the descriptions. A sleeping mask with ears? That was something else. "The accessories store, huh?" She couldn't remember the name of it, but she couldn't remember about half of the mall. Those were semi-rare trips for her. Going to find that mask would be an adventure. "Did they have any others that you know of? I might as well get several while I'm there."
