Page 128 of His Sunshine Baby

I listen to Danny’s voice for a while, trying to take deep breaths and slow down my weeping. I ruined his shirt with my tears and snot, but Moon Goddess, I don’t care. Danny holds me for a long time, caressing my hair and soothing me until I can sit down and breathe without choking up.

I look at Sylviana, almost mad at her for telling me right now. I don’t even know if she’s right, and I’m not sure I want to confirm it.

“Syl, are you sure?” asks Danny.

She nods.

“If a witch says you’re expecting, you are, Elena. You’re about ten, no, almost eleven weeks.”

“Eleven weeks!”

That’s nearly 3 months! Moon Goddess, I can’t have been pregnant and not noticed a thing, it’s not possible! I can’t possibly…

“Babe, when was your last period?” asks Daniel.

I glare at him. Really, now? But I still sigh and make the effort to try and remember.

“Probably… when Nate came over and made me pizza.”

“Elena, that was in September, 3 months ago! Are you kidding me?”

“You know my period is irregular! And with everything that’s been going on, I just didn’t pay attention to that.”

“That’s the kind of thing you’re supposed to pay attention to, babe, especially if you have sex with you-know-who!”

I sigh. I know, it was stupid of me to not check earlier about my period! I turn to Sylviana, trying to understand.

“I’m on the pill, how can it…”

“Pills are not completely effective, even more so with alpha werewolves, Elena. I wouldn’t rely on it as contraception. In your case, well, you have proof now.”

My gosh, I don’t know if I want to scream or slam something. Worse thing is, I’m pretty sure I might have forgotten the pill a couple of times back when I was living with Nate. No way I’m letting Danny know about that, though.

I can’t believe this is really happening. Moon Goddess, if I really am pregnant with Nate’s baby…

“Daniel, I need to check. I’m sorry Sylviana, I’m not saying you’re lying, but…”

“It’s all right, I understand,” she says with a soft smile.

“I can call the clinic,” says Danny, grabbing his phone.

“Daniel, I’m pregnant with Nathaniel Black’s baby! I can’t just walk into the White Moon clan’s clinic. Everyone will wonder what the hell I’m doing at OB-GYN!”

Moon Goddess, Xavier and Clark will kill me if they find out. Daniel nods.

“It’s all right, we can ask Iris and Mom to help, they both work there, and we can trust them, okay?”

“Okay.”

He sighs and turns to Sylviana.

“Girl, you can’t drop bombs like that.”

“Daniel, she’s nearly three months. I thought she knew.”

She does look a bit sorry, but honestly, I don’t really care about being mad at her right now. I’m still in shock.

Nate’s baby. I might be pregnant with Nathaniel’s baby. I turn to Sylviana, a bit intrigued. Without thinking about it, I already have a hand on my tummy.
