Mr. Mora

Chapter 4

"You're what?" I asked, still unsure about the news just explained to me.

"I'm pregnant, Beloved." Her silk voice said aloud with pride and a huge smile on her face. Elizabeth then told the young servant to leave.

I stared down at the ground in silence. So soon? Impossible! I shifted my eyes to meet her grey pools.

"That's wonderful!" I told her, trying to sound enthusiastic. No, it wasn't wonderful. This means my trip to the Humans world will near closer and closer.

Elizabeth was so, so happy. I couldn't help but feel sorry. I wasn't even nineteen and I was having a child of my own. That's... That's a lot to take in.

She stood up, nodded to me, and went off to do her own thing. Meanwhile, I just sat there. What was I supposed to do? Was I supposed to be happy to have a child with someone I don't love? No, I don't think so.

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. I let my eyes trail around the large living room. Nothing was right anymore. I've lost my patients.

"So soon?" A voice whispers in my ear.

The voice of an angel. Phillip.

"I'm afraid so, Phillip." I tell him, letting him hear the sadness in my voice.

He sat on the chair across from me and stared into my eyes. Ot was dead silence between us. Though, I could tell this was our way of expressing our feelings.

"You're not happy." He finally says.

I nod my head. I definitely wasn't happy. I was so overwhelmed with sleep and I don't understand why. Thus, I drag my hand across my beard and stare into nothing. I hoped I would disappear into my palace.

"I'll be making the journey with Elizabeth soon," I inform him. That was something I could be happy about. I would return to London and perhaps even meet Sherlock. If I was luck, that is.

Phillip stood up from his chair. He ran a hand through his fawn brown hair and sighed.

"I'm heading back to your mother's," He says and walks away without another word.

That was the last I would see of Phillip for quite some time.
