Moonhawk

Chapter 41 - The Next Plan

"What?! Moon is pregnant?!" Hawk was deeply shocked after the doctor told him about Moon's current condition. Not even Moon was sure how she should react to it.

"Indeed Captain, she is. It is very small in her uterus but visible enough to tell you that Commander Moon is, in fact, pregnant." The doctor made sure that Moon got something to drink and walked away for a moment.

A quiet minute went in. Hawk was too speechless to raise up his voice. He only looked at Moon's stomach. He had a very weird feeling. A feeling that made him dizzy. The captain took a chair near him and sat on it. Now trapped in thoughts, he gave his best not to faint in front of his sweetheart.

"Hawk, the night we spent together, do you remember?" Moon tried to remind him about the night they had before. It was a month ago, the night when Moon had the bad nightmare.

"Of course!" Hawk remembered. "I got too carried away there, I'm sorry, my dear. I only wanted to distract you from the bad nightmare that you had."

Fingers from Moon were felt on Hawk's hand. She didn't expect it either, but she appreciated his help back then. "It's alright Hawk, after all, we wanted to build a family sooner or later anyway."

Hawk nodded slowly. They have talked about it before, and the purple bean remembered the conversation. With a very gentle touch, Hawk held up his hand and leaned it on Moon's cheek. He was shivering.

"Hawk, honey, why are you trembling?"

An unexpected visit came into their conversation. It was Admiral Corentin who wanted to check how they were doing. Hawk didn't notice him until he stood right beside him.

"Did the doctor find out what you have, Commander Moon?" The admiral asked.

As much as Moon appreciated Corentin to check how they were doing, she rather wanted to know why Hawk was nervous, but Moon answered:

"The doctor found out that I'm pregnant." After saying it out loud, Moon began to get nervous as well. She remembered a certain fear that she had.

"Pregnant?" Corentin's quiet undertone was still noticeable, but even he was surprised to hear the news. "Well, what an unexpected turn. Which makes some things more difficult for us."

"What do you mean, admiral?" The purple captain stopped his silence and was questioning what the admiral meant.

"The current meeting is still going on. They are only taking a break now. I would like to explain it there." Corentin explained.

Moon in her bed understood that Corentin needed Hawk and said: "Hawk, go to the meeting without me, I'll wait for your return here."

"Commander Moon will be in good hands, Captain. I'll make sure of that." The doctor came back with a glass of water and gave it to Moon. She was thankful for the glass of water and took a sip. Hawk wasn't sure if he should leave Moon all alone in here. He was too protective over her, but work called him. The meeting was important as well.

With a heavy heart, Hawk decided to go to the meeting with Corentin. Before Hawk went out, he gave Moon a soft kiss.

The meeting continued. Hawk was sitting on his seat near Captain Wedly and Captain Amelia. Corentin went back to his own seat as well and started to talk.

"Something unexpected happened, but we are back. I'd like to explain the rest. I'd like to explain why I want Captain Pitch back."

"I'm still not a big fan of your idea, admiral." The fire bean Blaze interrupted. "You want to bring him back. An impostor. He is one of the most dangerous impostors out there. He might have his history, but impostors can't change. They are all the same."
