A Dark Love |Under Construction|

Chapter 35

I let out a blood-curdling scream, my voice echoing off the walls. "WHAT?!"

Deus winced, turning his ear away from the sound but nodding in confirmation. "Yeah... you're pregnant..."

I was in a state of panic, my mind racing with questions and fears. "HOW?! HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?!" I demanded, my voice shaking with hysteria.

Deus's expression turned slightly irritated, as if he was tired of explaining himself. "Because I sensed a strong demonic energy from inside of you... There's no way it could be you since you're a half-demon or Dietrich for that matter..."

I stared at him, my eyes wide with terror, my mouth hanging open in shock. I felt like I'd been punched in the gut, my breath knocked out of me.

I placed my hand over my stomach, looking down at it as if it were a foreign object. I'm... pregnant...? How...? Why...?

What... am I... going to do...?

Tears began to well up in my eyes, and I felt my face crumple. I started to cry softly at first, but soon I was bawling loudly, my body shaking with sobs.

Deus sighed and wrapped his arms around me, holding me tightly. He began to rub my back, trying to comfort me as I cried into my hands. His touch was warm and soothing, but it couldn't calm the storm that was raging inside me.

I felt like my world had been turned upside down, and I didn't know how to right it again. I was pregnant, and I had no idea what that meant for my future or for my relationships with Deus and Dietrich. All I knew was that I was scared, and I didn't know what to do.

We sat there for what felt like an eternity, my body shaking with sobs as Deus held me tightly. He was a rock, a steady presence that kept me grounded even as my world seemed to spin out of control.

As I slowly began to calm down, Deus kissed my forehead tenderly, his lips warm and gentle. "Don't worry, Kota... I'm not going anywhere... I'm going to be here for you..." he whispered, his words a soothing balm to my frazzled nerves.

I sniffled, feeling a small sense of comfort at his words. But as the reality of my situation began to sink in, I blubbered out a question. "So... what's going to happen now?"

Deus sighed, his eyes filled with a deep concern. "Well... We'll just keep an eye on you and make sure you're okay... You'll eventually need to move in with me... probably when the baby bump is more apparent..."

My stomach filled with anxiety at the thought of being pregnant, of having a baby growing inside me. I imagined myself with a huge belly, and a wave of panic washed over me.

I sighed loudly, feeling overwhelmed. "How do I... even give birth...?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Deus's expression was calm and reassuring. "You won't have to. It'll feel like it, but the baby will just appear. It'll just exist."

I stared at him, trying to wrap my head around what he was saying. But it was too much to take in, too many thoughts racing through my head. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of uncertainty.

I began to rub my stomach, trying to process the reality of my situation. I'm... having a baby...? And not just a baby... a demonic baby... And who's...?

I looked up at Deus, my eyes searching for answers. "Who's the father...?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Deus's eyes met mine, and he sighed. "It's probably me... which is why I'm never going to leave you..."

He interlaced our hands, his fingers wrapping around mine in a gentle grasp. My heart throbbed at the touch, and I felt a surge of emotion.

"Deus... I'm scared..." I whispered, my voice trembling with fear.
