I did not know how long I was unconscious but when I woke up, the first people I saw were my father and the pack’s doctor. Blinking twice, it took me a few minutes to realize what happened.
‘I fainted?’ I thought, feeling confused.
“Doctor… she’s awake.” Father, who was sitting right next to me, was the first to notice that I woke up and anxiously informed the doctor of my condition.
The doctor hurriedly checked my condition. After a few minutes, the pack doctor confirmed that I was alright before leaving the room respectfully. I was in a daze for a moment and was initially unable to remember what happened.
But when I looked at my Father’s worried expression, I finally remembered that I was in the midst of administering the antidote when I suddenly blacked out.
“Father… the medicine… have you taken it?'' I asked him anxiously and frowned in pain when I felt my throat quite dry.
“D-did it work?” I continued as the worry in me overpowered my condition.
Father, for the first time, held my hand lovingly as he told me in a comforting voice, “I am fine. The antidote you made worked and you no longer have to worry.”
A deep sense of relief filled me. “T-thank goodness…” I muttered softly. However, I still remained feeling skeptical. The memory of my father being weak and bedridden scared me a lot. Biting my lower lip, I insisted on asking him a few questions.
“But how are you feeling? Did the pain subside?”
Father looked at me with gentle eyes. “I’m feeling better, Chloe,” he simply answered as I carefully observed him.
Only when I saw that his breathing seemed more stable and his heartbeat stronger was I able to ensure that he was indeed fine. Only then did I relax and sigh in relief.
“Chloe… about your fainting…” This time, it was my father's turn to tell me something.
He looked at me with a complicated look in his eyes, partly worried, partly hesitant, however I could detect a hint of joy in his eyes, much to my confusion.
“What is it father?” I asked, clearly not understanding what his expression meant.
His big rough hands caressed my hand gently as he said, “Chloe… when you fainted, the doctor found out that you are pregnant.”
“P-pardon?” For fear of hearing my father’s words wrong, I looked at him and asked once more.
“Chloe, you are pregnant. There’s a little cub growing in your womb right here, right now…”
It was like lightning striking my mind, my head buzzed as my heart beat loudly and heavy. My hand subconsciously moved to caress my womb as I mumbled in shock, “M-me… I’m pregnant?”
‘How? When did this happen?’ Hearing such unexpected news, I racked my mind to remember when I could possibly become pregnant.
Suddenly the memories of the night of my birthday, Blake and I in bed, reminded me. ‘That’s it… it happened on my birthday…’
“Yes you are…” Father replied patiently but his eyes already started to reddened as a genuine smile on his face bloomed.
One look at him and I knew that he was extremely happy, though there were still some traces of worry and fear in his heart.
“You must tell Blake about it. He has to know as soon as possible.” He added.
At the reminder of Blake, my entire body froze. A bitter taste rose from my chest as I let out a dejected smile.
“I can’t do that, Father…” I mumbled.
My father frowned, not expecting my answer. The joyous face in his eyes became serious as he asked, “Why so? Chloe… did something happen between you and Blake?”
Completely understanding the meaning behind his question, I shook my head for him not to misunderstand, “It’s not like that father.”
