The Shadow Of The Kiss~Larmau~ Book Two

Zane?

~Age 18 Aphmau~
It's been about a 3 months since I was told that I was pregnant. It's been hard. I feel like the baby is coming unnaturally fast. It's supposed to be 9 months not 5. It's been a repetitive cycle of having my daily blood, which turned into frequent 3 times a day. Going to weekly checkups at the doctors, and constant attention of friends.

Laurence hasn't been around much, he said he had to take a trip with the guards for a month, but now he's been two months late. I'm worried. What if he's hurt? What if he's d-d-dead? What if he's kidnapped?

The guards have been worrying too. Aaron sent about another 5 guards to go look for them.

"Hey Aphmau?" Someone said.

"Laurence!" I looked up realizing it was only Dante.

"No, but there are these two people at the gate asking to see you. Two guys, and one girl." He said.

"Okay, I'll go check on it. If I know them well can I let them in?" I questioned.

"Yes." He replied.

I hopped off the chair I was sitting on and headed to the gate.

About a minute later I got to the gate. They opened it.

I saw two people who I thought I wouldn't see for awhile. Lucas and Sofia. I run up and hug both of them at the same time.

"Hey! Careful!" They said in sync.

"Sorry!" I replied quickly letting them go.

"So miss us much?" Sofia questioned.

"Yep!" I replied.

"So I wanted to introduce to you, Zane." Lucas said. Zane...

"Zane... Zane, Zane, like the Zane." I replied.

"Uh... Aphmau what do you mean?" Lucas asked.

"Like Zane, Garroths brother?" I questioned.

"Yep, long time no see Aphmau." Zane said.

"It's been years! How've you been?" I questioned.

"Fine, I thought you didn't make it, how about you. How've you been?" Zane asked.

"I've been fine. A little bit of a lot has changed though. I need to tell you all about it." I said.

"Wait!" Sofia said loudly.

"Yeah?" I questioned.

"Your pregnant!" She said.

"Yeah." I replied.

"Since when?" She questioned.

"Since about 3 months ago. But it seems to be growing way too fast." I said.

"Who's the dad?" Sofia questioned.

"Laurence." I replied.

"Who's that?" Lucas asked.

"My boyfriend." I replied with a small smile on my face.

"So your still with him?" Zane questioned.

"Yep." I responded happily.

"So where is he? I want to meet him." Lucas asked. My smile turned into a frown.

"H-he's missing. He went on a mission around three months. He had to go." I said.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to mention anything bad." Lucas said apologetically.

"No your fine. You wouldn't have had any way of knowing." I said.

"Hey, can we check out your houses!" Sofia asked.

"Yep! Follow me, I already got permission from Dante a guard," I said.

"Okay." Zane replied.

I walked to my house happy that my friends from a while ago can't to see me. And they have Zane! I can't wait to tell Garroth! But first I need to take care of these cramps I'm getting and drink some new blood from the doctor.
