Sophie grunted as she got up the next morning, she's starting to worry. The abnormal feeling in her abdomen didn't fade away with time, it's getting stronger and stronger by time. She slowly curled up into a ball, burying her head between her knees. What is wrong with me? Sophie asked herself quietly. Silence was her only reply. The weird feeling really annoys her, distracts her from sessions, Sophie sighed deeply. Unfortunately, Fitz wasn't at Foxfire, and most of the staff. Sophie threw her blanket back over her shoulder, with Biana's snores emerging from the mattress above her.

Biana dragged Sophie over the empty hall of the Elite levels. "Hurry, Sophie, or we'll be late!!" Biana exclaimed. "We're already late, Biana, there's no need to hurry." Sophie said, trying to ignore the feeling in her stomach. Sophie stumbled while Biana dragged her over to the homeroom.
"Ah. Miss Foster. Miss Vacker. May you explain why you're late today? The whole class was waiting for you." Lady Galvin snarled, glaring at them.
"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, madam, Sophie wasn't feeling good this morning, so I went to the healing center with her then." Biana replied her perfect but fake answer, Sophie didn't tell her about the weird feeling in her stomach, and they didn't go to the healing center, either.
"What about you, Miss Foster?" Lady Galvin turned her deathly glare at Sophie.
"Biana and I went to the healing center this morning." Sophie replied, wanting to say as least as possible. Lady Galvin frowned. "Don't be tardy."
Sophie took her seat next to Biana, turning to the page Lady Galvin requested. Sophie sighed deeply, the feeling was disturbing her, she stumbled on the words when reading, dizziness shot up her head, this is making her nausea.
Sophie abided it until the session was over, she packed her texxtbooks quickly and went out the classroom with Biana.
"Hey, you didn't look good during class, is everything fine?" Biana asked, taking Sophie's hand as she continued. "And you're...... pale."
Sophie didn't know what to reply, telling Biana secrets may be dangerous, she already spilled a lot of Sophie's secrets. "Biana, promise me you won't tell the others." Sophie said. "Promise." Biana replied. "You can't tell anyone, not even your parents or our friends." Sophie told her. "Okay......" Biana agreed.
"Uh.... Seriously, I'm not feeling well." Sophie said to Biana. "But I'm alright." Sophie added when she saw Biana's expression.
"We're having a free lesson right now, right?" Biana asked. "Biana, I'm fine." Sophie argued.
Biana is already dragging Sophie towards the healing center. Sophie sighed.

"Soph, you okay?" Fitz wrapped his arms around Sophie imediately when she stepped in the healing center. Biana coughed loudly, causing Fitz to let Sophie go. "Sophie, I'll be waiting in our room." Biana told her.
"Soph, you're..... pale." Fitz commented.
"I'm fine." Sophie replied, not sure it's okay to tell Fitz her situation.
"No, you don't look fine." Fitz pulled her over to the empty cot next to his desk, allowing Sophie to sit on his lap. His arms tightened around Sophie's waist, he kissed her, while Sophie wrapped her hands around his neck, holding his head. Sophie savored the soft touch of Fitz's lips while he nibbled on her upper lip and sliding histongue into her mouth. Their tongues swirled together, enjoying the gentle, warm touch of each other. They broke apart. "Soph." Fitz said. "Are you okay?." He stared right into Sophie's eyes, making her melt in Fitz's embrace, she buried her face in Fitz's neck, "No." Sophie replied, taking in Fitz's cologne.
"How does it feel? what are the symptoms?" Fitz pushed the question further. He gently petted Sophie's back, and Sophie enjoyed every touch. "Dizziness. Nausea." Sophie replied. Fitz pressed his lips against her forehead. "Does it hurt?" He asked his final question. Sophie shook her head. Fitz sighed, he gently set Sophie on the cot. "Stay here, okay? I'm going to get something." Fitz told Sophie, leaving her laying in the cot.
Two minutes later, Fitz came back in with a few vials and his glasses. "I didn't know you have those." Sophie looked at the glasses Fitz was holding. "Elwin gave me this, but I'm not a fan of these." Fitz replied, putting on the glasses and examined Sophie's body carefully. "Sh*t." Fitz exclaimed when he went down to Sophie's abdomen.
"Fitz?" Sophie asked. Fitz sighed deeply. Calm down. he told himself.
He wrapped his arms around Sophie, making sure that she's ready for the fact.
"You're pregnant, Sophie."
