The Evening of Dexter's Trial

The beginning of the day and Dexter's trial...

I stood outside the door with Everest, Josh, Claire, Miranda, and Brent. We were chatting about the trial for Sarah. How it was weird to watch the silver overtake her body. The way that it seemed to burn her from the inside out. It was a sight that I did not enjoy watching. I leaned against Everest and his hand went instinctively to my belly, rubbing it softly. We were pregnant.

It brought me back to the moments leading up to finding out I was pregnant. He picked me up and twirled me around our bedroom this morning. How happy he was, how happy I was to be carrying the next leader for our Kingdom, to be carrying a product of our love for one another.

I couldn't wait to experience all of the good and bad of this pregnancy with him as our family grew much bigger, even if it was only by one. A Lycan pregnancy was different than a human who was carrying a child. Lycans were pregnant for maybe four months, half the time a human would give birth. Some Lycans delivered their babes as early as three months. We were stronger than humans, we could procreate faster too. I remember this one woman who gave birth twice in one year, the second being with twins. She had her hands full for sure. I could not even imagine having three babies under the age of one.

That made me wonder if I was going to have one or multiples. I smiled as my hand sat on top of Everest's hand, which was still rubbing my flat stomach. It wouldn't be flat in the next few months as it would be more full and plump looking with the love of my baby inside.

The doors opened up with loud clicking sounds as the council members began to walk in first. I glanced over to Brent and Miranda, who were watching the men and women arrive. They came up to center stage and took their seats in between Brent and Miranda and Everest and myself. We were sitting at opposite ends of the stretch of tables. Normally, we would be front and center, but considering both parties were involved
