Chapter 0538

- Jace -

"Baby, what baby?"

"Of course..." Mum gasps out but I can't keep up with everybody else's words, all I can concentrate is on one image...Cleo having a baby.

"What baby?" I roar out again, surely, they must have it wrong. She can't be with child, she would have told me.

"Cleo is pregnant." The words leave Auntie Rosa's lips, her eyes piercing directly through to my soul. No..that cannot be.

"What?"

"He still wants an heir, after all this time." Dad's voice rumbles out loudly over everybody else's.

"No the father is a human...it's not Than's." Rosa declares out loudly, shaking her head, her breathing continuing to be erratic.

It's like the world disappears around me...everything just melts away. All the shouting over each other, the incessant noise...it is blocked out, as all I can hear is my own heart beat thudding against my chest. "She's pregnant?" My words don't even sound like my own. They sound clouded...a voice not belonging to me.

Maybe it's the blood now pumping violently against my ear drum that has drowned out even the sound of my own voice.

"Jace?" Jaxon clears the floor towards me, large meaningful strides before his hand lands firmly on my shoulder...helping to keep me grounded.
