10 - Chapter Ten - Thanatos Alexander's Point Of View
Today was a Sunday. It was also the day that we got our first look at our
baby bean. Forest has been looking forward to this all week, I too was
looking forward to seeing our baby. Our appointment wasn't until one-
thirty in the afternoon but Forest was up at Eight am.
I tried to get him to go back to bed but he was far too excited to sleep.
I crawled out of bed at Nine after realizing I sure as hell was never
going to get back to sleep. I pulled a pair of sweatpants on and a large
long sleeve shirt on, I was starving.
I walked down the stairs and Quinn was sitting on the couch drinking
tea talking to Emerald. I looked at my watch. It was only nine-thirty why
was Emerald here. I yawned and walked to the kitchen and began to
look for my jar of cherries that I had been craving since I got up. I saw
Forest eating the last couple of cherries out of the jar with a fork.
I told myself to calm down. It was only cherries, but I mean they were
mine and little beans cherries. I walked into the living room and I'm
pretty sure the air in the room chilled a few degrees.
I knew Forest was playing it off that he never noticed me. I got right in
his face.
" Forest, Those were mine... My cherries.â
"Were they 7"
Hes:
"Sorry, if it counts there were only four left.â
"Yes, but they were my four cherries.â
"Calm down I'll get more Than"
"Are you just going to sit there, seriously, you have somewhere to be
Forest." I raised my voice.
"Il have nowhere to be"
I set my hand on my belly and began to rub it trying to calm down
before I screamed my lungs out at Forest. Both Quinn and Emerald
were watching the whole thing with the most fun looks on their faces.
"Forest as much as I love you if you don't give me a new jar of cherries
in the next twenty minutes, I will have you sleep outside for the next
five years! Best hurry my love," I said smiling the biggest smile.
I'd never seen Forest run so fast he was out of the chair and out of the
house in a few seconds flat. Kane walked down the stairs into the living
room and sat beside Quinn,
"What was that all about, he took his car keys and bank card and didn't
even say goodbye on his way out?"
" He ate my cherries, I told him to get me more before he sleeps
outside for five years."
"Oh, Makes sense, you never eat your matesâ food, especially when they
are carrying your child, Evil they become.â
Me, Quinn and Emerald all looked at Kane in disapproval, we were all
currently pregnant.
Kane smiled at Quinn once more before he went into hiding. Forest
came back with an entire case of my cherries. I walked over to him and
kissed him passionately, I told him he was the best. He still looked
mildly scared of me.
A couple of hours later Emerald drove us to the clinic and took us to his
office, he laid me down on the special bed and spread the cold gel on
my growing belly and Used the machine to show us both our baby. He
said he couldn't tell the gender yet but he said I would give birth
anywhere from six to eight months because our baby is a hybrid
Forest held onto the photo of our baby the entire ride home, when he
got home he finally broke into tears mumbling about how happy he
was, He was also embarrassed about crying, Kane spoke up and said he
bawled his eyes out over all his children.
Quinn said he cried the most out of both of them, Both Forest and I
laughed, Forest showed them the photo of our baby. they both had
tears in their eyes. they both were going on about having
grandchildren. There was so much happiness in the air over the photo
of Forest and I's baby. In the back of my mind, I felt like I needed to tell
my parents but I pushed that away. They would just lose their minds
right now about it. After all, I was pregnant and going to have a baby in
the middle of them having a war.
