When the World Turns Red (Crossover between the Red and Acceptance Series)

Chapter 15- Rylan's POV

I stared at the pregnancy test in my hands, and my vision was blurry while I stared at the two lines that symbolizes something that I did not want to be true. My mouth was dry, and my heart pounded hard and fast in my chest while I stared at it, with a small sob that wanted to break through.

Pregnant...

I was pregnant, even though I had no idea how far along I was, and I had no idea if something bad would happen to the baby while we were going through this and not home like I wanted to be.

"Oh, Goddess," I said, my voice barely above a whisper, and my throat closing before I cleared my throat and licked my lips, shaking my head. "Oh Goddess, no, no, please don't let this be true."

There was a knock on the door, and I instantly looked at the door with wide eyes and shaking hands. "Ry?" Vulcan asked and knocked on the door again. "Ry, are you ok? It's me."

I hesitated and shook my head, licking my lips. "Uhhh... yes, yes," I said before I cleared my throat and shifted on the toilet. "I'm ok. Give me a second, and I will be out of the bathroom." I placed the pregnancy test on the counter sink before I cleaned myself up and stood, pulling up my underwear and pants.

Vulcan knocked on the door and didn't try to open it. "Esti insarcinata? (Are you pregnant?)" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper and switching his tongue.

I didn't say a word and washed my hands before I opened the door and noticed that he was the only one there.

Vulcan set his jaw and tucked his head closer to his chest. He didn't say a word, and a look of worry flashed through his eyes when he saw me standing there. Concern filled his eyes while he studied me, and I could tell that he didn't like something on my face.

I gestured for him to come inside the bathroom, and the Vampire King did what I asked him to do and entered the bathroom. I walked to where the pregnancy test laid on the counter, and Vulcan watched me after he closed the bathroom door.

"Bine? (Well?)" he asked and raised an eyebrow in question while he studied me, pressing his lips into a thin line. He tucked his head closer to his chest, and a look of worry flashed through his eyes. "Ce este? Ce s-a întâmplat? Esti insarcinata? (What is it? What's wrong? Are you pregnant?)"

I hesitated before I slowly nodded in confirmation, not looking at him. "Da, (Yes,)" I said my voice barely above a whisper before I cleared my throat and shifted on my feet, and my cheeks turned red. "Sunt insarcinata. (I'm pregnant.)"

Vulcan raised an eyebrow in question while he studied me. He pressed his lips into a thin line and stayed silent while he did so, and my heart skipped a beat before it started to pound fast and hard in my chest. "Esti sigur? (Are you sure?)"

"Da, (Yes,)" I said and nodded in confirmation. I licked my lips and cleared my throat before I gestured to the pregnancy test that was on the counter. "Testul de sarcina este chiar acolo. (The pregnancy test is right there.)"

Vulcan looked at the pregnancy test and then at me. He slowly blinked, silently asking me if he could look at it.

I hesitated before I slowly nodded in confirmation. "Poţi, (You may,)" I said and licked my lips and cleared my throat. "După aceea, poți să-mi gusti sângele? (After that, can you taste my blood?)" I asked and raised an eyebrow in question. "Vă rog? (Please?)"

Can you see if I am actually pregnant that way..?

Vulcan nodded and walked over to the pregnancy test. He stayed silent while he looked at it before he looked at me, and worry filled his eyes while he slowly blinked.

I bit back a small smile and slowly nodded. "Vedea? (See?)" I asked and raised an eyebrow in question while I studied him.

Vulcan slowly nodded and looked at it. "O văd. (I see it.)" He cleared his throat and licked his lips while he looked at the pregnancy test before he looked at me. "Ești sigur că vrei să-ți gust sângele? (Are you sure that you want me to taste your blood?)"

I nodded in confirmation. "Da, (Yes,)" I said and held my arm out to him so that he could take it and then taste my blood to see if I was pregnant or not. "Vă rog. (Please.)"

Vulcan slowly nodded and gently took my arm. He looked at my arm before he looked at me and slowly blinked. He didn't say a word before he gently rubbed my arm and took some blood to see if I was pregnant or not.

Even though I knew that I was...

I stayed silent and watched him take some of my blood before he pulled away and slowly blinked, making sure that I wasn't bleeding any longer. I raised an eyebrow in question, silently waiting for him to tell me if I was pregnant or not.

Vulcan bit back a tired sigh and moved a hand through his hair and across his face. He cleared his throat and shook his head, pursing his lips in annoyance. "Ești însărcinată, (You're pregnant,)" he said and nodded in confirmation. "Îmi pare rău. (I'm sorry.)"

I scoffed a laugh and rolled my eyes, pursing my lips in annoyance. "Nu, (Don't,)" I said and shook my head. "Nu-ți cere scuze pentru că nu este vina ta că sunt însărcinată. (Do not apologize because it is not your fault that I am pregnant.)" I rubbed my belly and licked my lips, hesitating ever so slightly. "Știi cât de departe sunt? (Do you know how far along I am?)" I asked and raised an eyebrow in question.

Vulcan hesitated before he shook his head and cleared his throat, not looking at me. "Nu, îmi pare rău, (No, I'm sorry,)" he said before he cleared his throat. "Iartă-mă. (Forgive me.)"

I sighed and shook my head before I moved a hand through my hair and across my face, pursing my lips in annoyance. "Nu-ți face griji, Vulcan, (Don't worry about it, Vulcan,)" I said before I cleared my throat and shifted on my feet. "Oricum nu credeam că vei putea. (I didn't think that you would be able to anyway.)"

Vulcan shrugged and pressed his lips into a thin line. He didn't say a word and looked at the door when there was a knock on it, moving in front of me while I rolled my eyes and scowled. He still had the pregnancy test in his hand and grabbed it tighter while he waited for the person on the other side of the door to say something, anything.

"It's us," Becca said but didn't open the bathroom door. "Is everything ok in there, and is Vuclan in there because he is not outside of the bathroom?"

I breathed a small sigh of relief and moved closer to Vulcan, taking the pregnancy test and stuffing it into my pocket. "He's in here," I said. "Vulcan, you can go ahead and move out of my way. We can leave the bathroom and see if food is done because I am hungry."

Vulcan slowly nodded and pressed his lips into a thinner line. He didn't say a word and moved out of my way so that I could open the door and go to my mate to tell him the news, and I held back an eye roll and pressed my lips into a thin line but did what he wanted me to do and opened the door.

Becca raised an eyebrow in question as soon as I opened the door and walked out of the bathroom with Vulcan following me. Worry filled her eyes, and she tucked her head closer to her chest, studying me. "Well?" she asked, and she raised her eyebrow higher in question. "Are you pregnant?"

I bit back a tired sigh and slowly nodded in confirmation. "Yes," I said, my voice barely above a whisper before I cleared my throat and shifted on my feet, placing my hand on my belly in a protective manner. "I'm pregnant, and I have no idea how far along I am..."
