The Alpha’s Fated Outcast: Rise Of The Moonsinger

Chapter 406 - 406: A mirror of warnings...

I stared at my reflection in the full-length mirror, dressed in nothing but a black lace bra and a pair of Ramsey's boxers rolled down at the waist to make room for my growing bump. My hands hovered above the curve of my belly, gently caressing the taut skin stretched thin over the children growing inside me.

At twenty-two weeks pregnant, my body had transformed in ways I never imagined possible. Looking at myself, I could see how my baby bump had rounded out significantly.

My legs felt heavy and swollen, the skin stretched taut around my ankles where fluid had begun to collect. Even my fingers felt puffy, my wedding ring fitting more snugly than before. The veins on my breasts had become more prominent, mapping blue pathways across skin that felt tender to the touch.

My once-trim waist had vanished completely, replaced by a round dome. My hips had widened, and there was a persistent ache in my lower back that reminded me constantly of the weight I was carrying.

I turned slightly, examining my profile. The stretch marks that had begun as faint lines were now more visible, blue streaks across my expanding belly, telling the story of two little lives growing inside me.

My centre of gravity had shifted completely, making me feel slightly off-balance, as if I were learning to walk all over again, and I was constantly out of breath.

Sighing, I turned to face Ramsey, who had been watching me quietly from where he sat on the edge of our bed.

"Do you think I'm fat?"

A smile spread across his face as he shook his head. "You still look the same to me, darling. No, scratch that. You look more beautiful and ten times as radiant."

I couldn't help but smile at his response, even though I knew he was being kind. Walking to the wardrobe, I pulled open the doors and surveyed my clothes with a sense of frustration.

"You don't have to lie, Ramsey dearest. None of my clothes fit anymore." I pulled at a dress that used to hang loose on me, now clearly too small. "I didn't realise how thin I was until this pregnancy. Oh, Moon, I can't wait to get it done and over with."

My hand drifted to his section of the wardrobe, and I pulled out one of his oversized shirts, holding it up with a wry smile. "Who knew your clothes would come in handy one day?"

Ramsey rose from the bed, bare-chested and sleepy-eyed and walked toward me. He kissed the back of my shoulder and rested his hands on my waist. "Take whatever you want, darling. What's mine is yours. And what's your…" he slid his palm around my belly, "is mine."

"You're sappy today," I whispered with a smirk.

"And you're glowing today," he murmured. Then took the shirt from my hands, his fingers brushing warmly against mine. "Let me help you."
