I Am The Luna (Moonlight Muse) novel Chapter 458

ZADE.

Pregnant.

An odd emotion rushes through me as I stare at her. She looks uncertain, and uneasy, even as if waiting to see my reaction. She’s pregnant, meaning I have a kid on the way.

Fuck.

This is real, and that means the responsibilities that I now have are growing too. She’s pregnant…

“Can we get a minute alone?” I say, not looking towards Zaia until now.

“Of course…” she answers, smiling at Valerie as she squeezes her shoulder before she comes towards the door, brushing past me on her way out, and shutting the door behind her.

“So, you told her before me?” I ask, not knowing why, but I’d have preferred being in control of who else found out and when. Especially when this was something that was no one else’s business and I hate when people get up in mine.

She nods, “Mmm, I needed the emotional support when I took the test.”

That stung. I thought last night I did my best to reassure her, even if this wasn’t what I wanted. She could have called me if she wanted emotional support. She’s been the one avoiding me throughout the day.

“Alright. Cool,” I say, walking over to her.

A child.

Her being pregnant changes everything now. I don’t know how to react, so instead I wrap my arms around her, resting my head on top of hers, knowing that even if this is crazy new to me, I want her to know I’m here for her.

I love her, and I know she’s nervous right now, but the last thing I want to do is upset her more. Now that I know she’s pregnant, it’s my job to take care of her and… our child.

“We’re going to have to tell the others that you can’t go back to that hospital. You’re better off safe in this pack until things settle.” I say.

I’m always prepared for everything, and right now… I’m not prepared for this, but I don’t want her to feel that. I want her to know she has me, that I’ll always be here.
