Chapter 22: gone

Chapter 22

ELIJAH'S P.O.V.

Baby: 2 months and 3 weeks until birth

"This damn mountain is getting real crowded." Michellie groaned, her head buried in my shoulder. We had spent the last few hours overseeing construction of the palace that was nowhere near being done. "Can't we send the fairies back home yet?"

"No." I sighed, watching the workers stack brick after brick. "They can't return until their elders declare it safe and they haven't yet."

"Well what about the damn mermaids? They're getting on my nerves with all the damn tension." Michellie suggested, lifting her head to give me a pleading look.

"I've advised Margarette to return home multiple times. Margarette isn't interested in returning without Aku and Aku isn't interested in returning without Vincent. Unfortunately, Vincent is refusing to go."

"Then send me away somewhere deep in the woods, far away from all the bickering." Michellie stood up, barking an order at a worker she didn't think was working fast enough. I sighed, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath.

My phone rang, snapping me out of my forced sense of tranquility. I held the phone to my face, groaning. "Yes?"

"You have to get me out of here."

"Not this again. Cyan-"

"I'm not asking this time Elijah! I'm telling you! I'm pregnant and hormonal and these fucking monsters are driving me crazy! If it's not some fairy rubbing my stomach prophesizing crazy shit, it's Kric cracking pregnancy jokes! And don't even get me started on the stare down I walk into every morning at breakfast! I mean it Elijah! Come here right now and take me somewhere, anywhere!" Cyan was ranting, his voice getting higher and higher. "I swear to Solar Elijah, if you don't come and help me right now i'm going to do something violent and crazy!"

"Cyan-"

"Now Elijah!" He cried, hanging up before I could explain to him that i couldn't go back to the base yet.  I sighed again, watching as Michellie verbally abused a man who was taking too long building up the right flank of the north wall. I figured she had this taken care of and decided to fly back to Cyan. The last thing I needed to come home to was a violent altercation involving my very pregnant bonded.

I took off, trying to enjoy the quiet flight home before entering hell. If there ever was a bad living situation, it was the one I woke up in every morning. A military base full of Dragons and fairies and mermaids and blood angels was the literal definition of uncomfortable. I could hear the yelling from a mile above the base.

"Foul language is a foul heart!" I heard one of the fairies screaming at a dragon name Vern, who was telling that same fairy to stuff her mouth with a cock.

I landed beside them, the two not even pausing their fight to acknowledge me. Then just to the left of me was Aku and Ima who were arguing in merperson. A few yards away Margarette and Vincent were hissing at each other and standing just inside the buildings doorway, face twisted in annoyance and belly slightly rounded, was Cyan.

He rushed over the second he saw me, his distaste clear on his face. "Get me out of here." he demanded, wrapping his arms around me.

"We can't go anywhere my love. It isn't safe for you to leave the base." I explained to him, kissing his forehead. He let out a frustrated scream before pulling away from me and storming back into the base building. "Cyan." I called after him, following him inside.

"I can't take it here anymore. I hate it. The baby hates it!" Cyan was yelling, passing soldiers jumping out of his way. "You don't even care!"

"Of course I care my love." I assured him, frowning that he would even suggest i didn't. "It's because I care about you, both of you, that-"
