I can’t help it.

“I love you,” I whisper in her ear.

Reign turns her head to look at me so quickly I assume that she might have gotten whiplash.

“What?”

I look down at her lips. “I love you, Reign Pierce.”

She smiles and presses her lips to mine. “I love you, Killian De Luca.”

I’m just hoping our love doesn’t go up in flames.

Forty-Six

Reign

It’s beena week since I got back from the private island with Killian.

Since then, I’ve been staying in bed and Baba has been bringing me tea and soup since that seems to be the only thing I can keep down.

I was doing my best to hold down my vomit on the island with Killian and luckily, I only threw up once in front of him. I’m not sure if he heard or knew that I was throwing up a bunch of other times.

I still haven’t taken a pregnancy test and I’m not sure I want to because then it will just confirm what I already know.

I don’t even look pregnant which is the crazy thing.

My phone dings so I reach over to my side table and grab it.

I miss you.

I smile and my face heats up.

Killian and I text every single day and he always calls me before I end up going to bed. I wish he was here with me, holding me while I fall asleep. It’s only been a week, but my body craves his.

I miss you too.

What are you doing?

Just laying down watching a movie.

He messages back but a knock on my door pulls my attention away from him.

I put my phone on the side table as I see Baba walk in.

She has a plate filled with greens, meat, and some baked potatoes on the side. “I brought you something different this time. Hopefully you can keep that down. If not, I'll keep making you soup.”

I sit up and lay against my headboard. “Thank you, Baba,” I say when she puts the plate on the side table. My stomach instead starts to growl when I smell the meat. It almost feels like it’s flipping. I don’t want to disappoint her or be rude because she made this, but I really feel like not eating it.

Baba sits down next to me on the bed. “How are you feeling?” she asks, putting strands of my hair to the side.

“Good, I think I got something when I was away.”

“How’s Killian?” Baba asks.

My stomach churns but I ignore it.

Baba and Mama are the only ones who weren’t super pissed at me. Papa though, he was on another level of pissed off.
