The Forgotten Luna by Cassandra M

Chapter 70

LADESSA.

We finally reached the regular road, and in no time, we were driving into the city. I kept looking back, checking if anyone was following us, but everything seemed normal so far. "You can sleep," Kael told me.

"I'm not that sleepy anymore. I will rest once we transfer to another car. I'm not comfortable here."

He simply nodded his head and continued driving. Kael called someone after his call with Rasmus, and we got confirmation for a new car we could use once we reached that place. And from there, it would just be a couple of hours before we reached the North. It was noon, and my stomach was churning from hunger, but I didn't say anything. I wanted to have a new car first. So when we finally reached the car dealer building, Kael wasted no time and grabbed the keys, and we were already on our way out.

He was holding my hand, and we were walking to the big parking lot where they pointed when my head suddenly felt light, and I almost stumbled if Kael was not able to hold me steady.

"Are you okay?" He asked, his brows furrowing.

I nodded. "I think I'm hungry."

"We'll buy food along the way." He smiled at me before he wrapped an arm around my body as we walked toward the car.

"Kael, what if I'm pregnant?" I blurted out.

I felt his body freeze, and we both stopped walking. My eyes watered as I knew this was not the right time to check, but not knowing if I was pregnant was killing me.

Kael could be upset, as he was clear with me during our marriage that we were not ready for a baby yet. Or he could also question me about who the father is. But I had to know because if I am, I want to make sure my baby is okay. "Have you missed your period?" He asked as he turned to face me. I couldn't fathom his expression.

I nodded.

"We can buy a pregnancy stick along the way. I'm not sure if there's any shop nearby..."

"Are you not upset? Or are you not going to ask if it's yours?"

A smile crept on his face, and my eyes watered more. I knew right there and then that my worries were irrelevant.

"I know it's mine. Unless I misheard you when you said you never had sex with anyone." He told me.

"Are you okay with a baby? With me?"

His smile widened as he cupped my cheeks. This time, I didn't stop myself from smiling. His happy expression was so contagious that at that moment, I forgot about the danger and secretly wished I were really pregnant. "Of course. I want a baby with you. It might not be ideal at the moment, but we can't tell our baby to go anywhere else. It's ours."

I nodded my head and wrapped my arms around him, hugging him tightly.

"We need to know, and if you are, we need to get you warmer clothes before we reach the North. It'll be a lot colder there." He was hugging me tightly before he prepared my cheeks with kisses. "Now let's get you something to eat and that stick."
