All I ever wanted was to be a mum, to hold my own baby in my arms, smell its soft, newborn smell, shower its head with kisses, cuddle it from dawn ‘til dusk.  When I got pregnant with Tara, I can’t describe how happy I was to see those little blue lines.  Everyone said that I was a natural mother and when I fell pregnant with Tilly when Tara was

Very engaging fiction. I guessed te vampire theme when..teeth bit into flesh.. but I did not expect that she would WANT to turn her own daughters. (In Twilight Edward was so protective with Bella.)

I haven't read Twilight, but from what I've heard, it's not really representative of vampire mythology in general. I must admit that one of the things I find most interesting about vampires is just how much humanity remains once they've gone and what exactly happens to the human person - every canon is slightly different on that front. I had originally planned on having her stay around for a little while until the urge to feed on her children drove her away, but it's an Idol post - I could have made this so much longer if I'd let myself.

Hopefully, you will get an opportunity to just write more of it. It was really good.
Although I initially identified vampire=Edward from Twilight, I have read a lot of other renditions of vampire stories or other movies and there are always different attributes, cultures, etc.

Have you read Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake books? Although they eventually descend into nothing but soft porn, the first ten or so are really good. VERY different to Twilight!

I have not. But now I have yet another author to add to my long list of "must reads." Thanks!
