I woke to the sound of Daniel’s hand tightening slightly around mine. The first thing I noticed was his grip, and then the white walls of the med bay. I blinked a few times, trying to process where I was. My body felt heavy and weak, and a wave of dizziness swept over me.

“Easy,” Daniel said quietly. He didn’t let go of my hand.

I turned my head slowly and saw Mrs. Carter, Brian, and Cole standing nearby. Their expressions were tense and focused on me. The doctor was already at my side, checking my vitals again.

“You collapsed in the room with Marielle,” the doctor said. “We need to make sure everything is fine before you leave the bed.”

I tried to speak but my voice came out faint. “I… I just need a moment.”

Daniel’s gaze didn’t waver. He stayed with me, close enough that I could feel his presence without needing words.

The doctor motioned for the others to step out, leaving just Daniel and me. He looked at me, waiting, and I realized I had to focus. My mind was racing through everything—the recent attacks, Clara’s moves, Selene’s interference, Marielle’s condition. And now, this.

“Your tests are back,” the doctor said carefully. “Congratulations Luna, you’re pregnant.”

Those weren’t words I was ready to hear. Of all things, pregnant at this time of my life? nahh… I tried to breathe calmly, but the tension in my chest was immediate. I didn’t say anything at first. My mind was working through the implications, trying to sort what this meant in real

terms.

Daniel stayed perfectly still, holding my hand, giving me the space to process. I didn’t know how to respond yet. Everything was spinning in my head. I thought of Clara and Selene, of Elias, and the danger that had been closing in on all of us. I thought of the attacks on Marielle and the way Carter Holdings had been targeted. Now there was this. Another layer to manage.

“I…” I finally said, my voice low and shaky. “I need… time. Please, don’t tell anyone.”

Daniel nodded. “No one will. We’ll handle it together.”

I closed my eyes and tried to think through the practical steps. How far along am I? How does this change what I can do in the pack and with Daniel? Could I still train, still heal, still move freely, or would this put us both at risk? I had to think clearly. There was no room for panic.

The doctor left quietly after ensuring I was stable, leaving Daniel and me alone. I felt the tension in my body case slightly with his presence, but the weight of responsibility remained.

“Are you okay?” Daniel asked softly.

“I’m… processing,” I admitted. “I need to understand what this means before anyone else knows. Before anyone tries to use it against us.”

He nodded. “Take all the time you need. I’m not going anywhere.”

I tried to focus on the physical reality of what was happening. My body felt different. I could feel subtle changes even now–fatigue, slight nausea, and a heaviness I hadn’t experienced before. It all made sense now.

“We need a plan,” I said quietly, more to myself than to him. “I can’t let this distract us from protecting Marielle or preparing for Clara and Selene. We already have too much happening.”

Daniel squeezed my hand. “We’ll adjust everything. You don’t have to handle it alone.”

I took a slow breath. I thought through my immediate responsibilities. First, Marielle needed stability. Second, Daniel needed support. Third, the pack had to be prepared for the ongoing threats. And now, I had to factor in this pregnancy. Everything would require careful planning.

“I need to keep moving forward,” I said. “I can’t pause just because this is happening.”

Daniel nodded. “Then we’ll move forward together. We’ll adapt everything to this. You won’t be facing any of it alone.”

I studied his face for a long moment. His support calmed me more than anything else in that room. He didn’t panic. He wasn’t overwhelmed. He was ready to act, to think through solutions, and to support me. That steadiness was exactly what I needed to center myself.

I started making notes in my mind. The med bay stay would be short. I would rest as much as possible and monitor my body closely. I would limit physical activity but maintain mental readiness.

Daniel would take the lead on external threats, keeping me safe and aware. I could still communicate with Cole and Brian for updates, but direct involvement in a lot of this would be minimized.

“You need to rest,” Daniel said again, reading my thoughts. “No exceptions.”

“I’ll rest,” I agreed. “But only when I know everything is accounted for.”

He nodded. “We’ll account for it together.”

I felt the tension in my body slowly lessen, though the news was still settling in my head. I had

to accept it and plan around it, rather than fight it emotionally. That was the only way I could remain functional and protect everyone around me.

Daniel adjusted my position on the bed so I could sit more comfortably. He stayed close, keeping one hand on mine and the other ready to support me if I needed it. I focused on the feeling of steadiness he provided rather than the whirlwind of danger and responsibility pressing in from every angle.

I thought through what I would do once we left the med bay. First, I would communicate with Mrs. Carter quietly to update her on some things I had in mind. Then, I would ensure that Marielle’s condition was stabilized before any further planning sessions. Finally, I would arrange to keep all sensitive information regarding the pregnancy a secret until Daniel and I agreed on next steps.

“I need you to stay close,” I said.

“I will,” Daniel replied. “I’ll stay here as long as it takes.”

I rested my head against his shoulder for a moment, letting myself feel a little relief.
