Page 156 of His Sunshine Baby

“She hasn’t, Boyan told me. But babe, if Clark banishes you… You think Nathaniel or Nora could…”

“Take care of me? Honestly, I don’t want to think about that now, Danny. I can’t even tell Nate about the baby for now, so… I’ll see how he reacts when it happens.”

Daniel chuckles.

“He’s crazy in love with ya, babe. Of course he will be happy about it.”

I hope so too.

One thing is for sure, I hate doing nothing. The long hours in the hospital were torture. I don’t know if Clark forbade visits or something, but aside from Danny’s family, I don’t get any visitors my entire stay.

It’s about the same once I can finally get home, except that now, Sylviana visits me too. I wonder if there was something keeping her from coming to the hospital, but it’s probably just too deep into the White Moon territory, unlike our apartment. She comes about once a week to check on me and my baby.

I get calls from Nora, too. I guess we don’t need any blood tests or proof to grow closer. I like when she tells me about her relationship issues, even if it’s hard to remember it’s about the King.

Somehow, I end up telling her to trust Liam instead of her own mate. No matter what, I can’t trust the King. I still remember the chill running down my spine when I crossed paths with him… and there’s the Gold Moon clan issue too. They are known to be a selfish and conceited pack, no one can trust them. They only have one redeeming factor: their wealth. But if they really make some kind of alliance with the Blood Moon…

I hear Nora sigh at the other end of the phone. She probably has a lot to think about on her own, too. I glance down at the papers on my knees, the ones I’ve been looking at for three hours now. Daniel is next to me, sipping his coffee and looking at the more detailed version of those tests.

I take a deep breath.

“Nora, anything yet on the blood results?”

I wish I knew if she really is a Royal. It could change so many things for everyone in Silver City, her mate, and even my relationship with Nate.

“Not yet,” she answers. “Tonia said it would take time. Apparently, gene-testing is longer.”

“I figured so,” I sigh, looking at Daniel. “Danny said the same thing. But I have something else. Apparently, matching our blood is much quicker.”

I hear her breathing stopping. Is she okay?

“Nora?”

“Sorry, I’m just so stressed suddenly! Do you really have it? You know?”

My gosh, she already sounds so excited, I can’t help but smile.

“Yes. Daniel just got the results this afternoon. I wanted to see you in person to tell you, but now that you called me first, I really don’t think I can keep quiet until then. But can you breathe first? You’re scaring me a bit and if you collapse, I’m too far away to help.”

“No, I’m okay! Just tell me, is it a match? Is it?”

Moon Goddess, she’s almost screaming! I laugh and grab the paper to check again before telling the poor girl.

“Elena!”

“Nora, it is! We are related!”

I feel the tears coming as I say that, and she is crying too. Great, we are both crying like pups now!

“Are you okay?” she asks.

“Why do you ask? You’re crying like a baby too!”

We laugh for a bit, and Daniel smiles and shakes his head too. This is so insane. I try to remember what Daniel said precisely.

“Nora, there’s more.”

“What do you mean?”
