Page 151 of His Sunshine Baby

“I’m fine, but Danny needs–”

Before I finish my sentence, Clark walks up to me, looking very annoyed too. He sighs.

“Elena, we need to talk. What were you doing on the Sea Moon territory?”

“We were pushed that way during the fight,” explains Danny. “We just… Holy shit, Elena!”

His face suddenly goes white in horror, but I don’t know what’s… That’s when I feel it. A sudden, sharp pain in my lower abdomen. I look down. My pants are covered in blood, my blood.

Oh, Moon Goddess, no, no…

Chapter 20

When I wake up, my first thought is that I’m feeling super nauseous, and very heavy, like I’ve been sleeping too long. I’m familiar with the smells around me… is it the hospital?

“Hey, morning, babe.”

Daniel is sitting next to the bed I’m in, smiling softly, leaning against the mattress. What’s going on? I am so confused.

Then, it all comes back when I see the little bandage on his cheek. The vampire attack. Nora’s white wolf injured, Eric’s death. Oh, Moon Goddess! I turn to him, panicked.

“Danny, my baby. I beg you, tell me my baby is–”

“She’s fine. She’s fine, Elena, I promise,” he says, grabbing my shaking hand to hold it. “Your little girl is a fighter just like her mom. She held on, don’t worry. She’s still there.”

I let out a big sigh of relief and put a hand on my belly, where I feel like she should be. Oh Moon Goddess, if I had lost her… I was terrified for a second. Gosh, I already love you so much, little thing.

“There’s bad news, though…” says Daniel, frowning a bit.

“What?”

“Well, since you were transported to the hospital and all, the wolf’s out of the bag.”

Oh, shit.

“You mean they know I’m pregnant?”

“Well, everyone suspects so, but only Clark, Isa, and a few other people are aware.”

Fuck! Damn, we were supposed to keep this pregnancy a secret as long as possible, and now all of the White Moon and Opal Moon clans know. Great. It couldn’t have been worse. And I haven’t been able to talk to Nathaniel yet!

I’m about to ask more when Abigail walks into the room.

“Honey, could you help me put the… Oh, Moon Goddess, Elena! You’re awake, sweetie! Daniel, I told you to tell me as soon as she woke up!”

“Mom, she literally opened her eyes half a minute ago.”

“Oh, I see. All right, take this, let me check her up. Hi, sweetie, how are you feeling?”

His mom asks me a few usual questions, like if I’m in pain or dizzy, and does her check-up. I’m feeling so numb and my limbs are sore, I wish I could stretch.

“How long was I unconscious?” I ask.

“You weren’t completely unconscious, you had short wake-up moments, but only for a few seconds. Anyway, it’s been two days.”

Two days. Did they hold the funeral yet? What did Clark say about my pregnancy? Has Nora healed already?

I look down at Danny’s bandaged leg. He notices my glance and chuckles.
