The Luna and her Quadruplet Pups by Jane Above Story

Chapter 177

Ethan

Yes.” Jane confirms, looking me in the eye for the first time. I’m pregnant, Ethan.”

The room is spinning. Everything has turned upside down and inside out, and I can’t make sense of any of it. This isn’t real. It can’t be real. Jane can’t be pregnant.

History is repeating itself right before my eyes, only this time my mate hasn’t hidden her condition from me out of fear, she’s done it because I didn’t give her any other choice. The first time was a misunderstanding, but that’s not the case now. It isn’t possible. I think again. I would have known – there would be signs, symptoms. Even as I ponder this possibility, I realize there have been signs and symptoms. She never went back into heat again after the first time, she was so sick in the Southern Isles even after we disembarked from the ship, and her emotions have been so raw since she returned.

“How long have you known?” I ask, my voice like gravel. I have no right, but I can’t help feeling disgruntled that she kept this secret. Another baby.

Another child I’ll be endangering if I let her stay. But another baby. I missed her first pregnancy – I never got to watch her body grow and change with the pups, I didn’t get to help her bring them into the world, to see the miracle with my own eyes. This could be my second chance, the opportunity to do it right this time around.

I suspected when we were still on the ship,” She confesses, “and I was fairly convinced by the time we tracked the pups down. I just couldn’t think about anything but getting them back.

“You kept it from me all that time?” I hiss, outraged that she was coping with this on top of everything else that happened on our trip.

“You had enough to worry about.” She shrugs, tears spilling over her lashes. And I didn’t think you’d let me help if you knew. You already didn’t want me there. Then the doctors in the hospital confirmed it…
