Something Unexpected

Chapter 17

For the past few weeks Chris has been secretly training me. I decided the garden would be the best place because it's quiet and no one ever goes there. I have tried to get in touch with my inner self to see if I can better connect with this gift. So far it's not really working so Chris has been using insects and flowers to help it emerge. Basically me trying to save the insect or flowers I have to bring the shield up. It's worked, but we need to move on to trying it on a human. I know I can protect little things but can I protect someone my size or even Noah's size. Chris suggested that I try to allow the shield barrier to surround him. I just need to focus on him and focus on the thought of protecting him. This way I don't always need to rely on it to appear during a life or death situation.

"Sienna, you almost have it. Focus!" Chris says. One thing Chris can be a strict teacher, but without him who knows if I would have progressed this far.

"I'm trying!" I say back.

"Take a deep breath and regain your focus" Chris says. I listen and do as he says.

I look at Chris and put all my focus on him and protecting him. I can feel it expanding from my body and going to surround Chris. I can see the barrier shield slightly with my own eyes so I know I have successfully done it.

"I did it! Finally!" I say and Chris smiles.

"Great job! I knew you could do it" Chris says. "Now we will practice a few times a week, but by yourself just practice focusing on people and your shield" I nod in response.

"Thank you for helping me!" I say cheerfully.

"Of course!" Chris says with a smile.

And with that we head back home going our separate ways.

A week later

I wake up again to find the other side of the bed vacant. Noah is busy as usual. I check the time and see it is eight in the morning. I have some time to myself so I think I will grab something to eat and work on lesson plans. I get out of bed and start walking to the bathroom to freshen up and get ready for the day. Walking into the bathroom, I start to feel very sick. I stop walking and put my arms on the sink to hold me up. I can suddenly feel last night's dinner coming up. With a hand over my mouth I run over to the toilet and throw up. After twenty minutes had passed I wasn't feeling nauseous any more. I'm sure I don't have to worry about it. Right? Maybe I ate something that upset my stomach. I finish getting ready for the day and decide not to worry about the sickness.

It is starting to get to the point where every morning I am sick. Since it has been occurring so often my curiosity spikes. Am I pregnant? Well I guess it's possible. I mindlink the pack doctor and head over to her office. I knock on the door to the pack doctor's office.

"Come in" I hear her say.

"Good morning Dr. Lindsey!" I say

"Good morning Luna! Please come on in and take a seat" She says.

"So what has been going on?" She asks. I explain the morning sickness and other symptoms. I tell her what I think is going on and just want to take a test to make sure.

"Well Luna, I certainly think that is the case, but I will take a blood test to confirm it" She says with a smile.

"Thank you so much!" I say happily.

"I will call you in about a day or two to let you know the results"

"Thank you doctor Lindsey!" I say.

"Of course Luna, have a good day" she says. With that I leave her office and go on about my day. Thoughts are racing through my head. Noah and I never really talked much about having kids of our own. What if he doesn't want them yet? What if I'm not ready to be a mom. Oh no what if I am a terrible mom. As I continue to think of all the different possibilities, Zenna chimes in.
