Vampire Academy

Chapter 29

"Hey Sky aren't you coming to class?" Lilly asked.
I groaned digging my face from my pillow.
"I think I'm just going stay in today I'm not feeling too hot" I replied snuggling deeper into the covers.

she gave me a concerned look.
"Well I hope you feel better, I'll see you later alright"
"Alright."

When she was gone I sunk my head back into the pillow hoping that sleep would once again find me.

I had spent most of my morning like that. Lounging around, sleeping, waking up ,puking and losing my fucking mind.

As I lifted my head from the sink I caught view of my reflection. My cheeks are plump and I appeared heavier, holding a few more pounds than normal.

A string of numbing pain emerged from my abdomen something that I was beginning to get used to.

Out of strange curiosity I lifted up my shirt and placed my hand on my belly.

Looking in the mirror my stomach did appear to poke out a bit more than it normally did and that frightened me.

I continued staring at myself and I almost lost my shit when I felt what felt like a small kick
where my hand was placed.

I drew my hand back, frightened by my own body and what it had just done.

What was really wrong with me? Why did I feel sick all the time? Why do I feel hungry all the time never seeming to be satisfied with anything?

Noah.

I remember those days when the two of us couldn't keep our hands off of each other. Touching, kissing, making love.

It was passion in its purest form, lust that  couldn't be controlled. It was the want to be loved, the need to be touched.

The little nub in my stomach seem to move around a lot more when I began focusing on it. I hadn't even noticed the string of tears that began flowing down my flustered cheeks.

Glancing up at the mirror I saw another reflection that didn't belong to mine. I jumped back in surprise.

"Noah! You half scared me to death" I proclaimed heaving deeply. It seemed a little harder to catch my breath these days.

The tenseness was building up in the room and I was beginning to worry because he wasn't saying a thing. I could see his eyes on me and I felt his gaze travel to my hands that were placed on my belly and I immediately removed them and let my shirt fall back down.

He continued staring at that area not seeming to move breathe or even blink.

I would be lying if I said that I wasn't beginning to get uncomfortable.

"Could you just stop staring at me please!" I snapped , a sudden string of anger and insecurity bolting through me.

I don't know why the sudden change of emotion struck me so hard ,watching  him stare at  me like that ,like I was an object or an animal in a cage angered me.

I knew that I was getting fat and I knew that I was looking grosser uglier by the day.

"Wait babe where are you going?" Noah asked gripping me by the arm as I was storming past him in a heat wave of anger.

"Let go of me!" I shouted in his face.
He looked back at me in confusion probably wondering why I was yelling at him, when he had done absolutely nothing wrong.

"Sky I just want to talk to you why are you so angry?"

I turned around looking him in the face. His dark blue eyes peered deeply into my mines.
My breath felt shaky in my throat.

"How about you tell me what's really wrong with you" Noah softly demanded.
Instead of answering him I just stared blankly  at the floor.

"Baby" Noah cooed caressing my cheek.
"I'm scared"

"Scared of what?" Noah asked searching my face for clues.

"It" I quivered placing a hand over my belly.
"Sky I don't under-" he stopped mid sentence eyes slightly dilating. He didn't really seem to catch on but eventually he did.

He got on his knees infront of me and slowly lifted my shirt up over my head.

I cupped my hands over my breasts shielding them from the cold air.

Noah grazed his big hands over the bare skin of my stomach studying it with a chiseled look on his face.

My stomach seemed to awaken with the contact.
"Woah" he jumped back when my belly contracted.
The nub seemed excited by Noah's touch.

He looked up at me with amazement and replaced his hands back on both sides of my stomach.

"I think we should go to father, have him take a look"
Noah offered, strikingly fascinated.

"He's the last person I want to be around" I snarled, the disgust in my voice evident.

I hated Mr. Hensmen with a burning passion.
I didn't need that man having any more control over my life or any other life for that matter.

"Sky I know you don't like him, hell I barely like him, but he's still my father and I know for sure he can help" Noah professed.

"Well we'll just have to find someone else" I objected.

"Please" he placed soft kisses along my belly.
I glared at him challengingly
but fell off when his kisses became wet and sloppy.

"O-ok find you win" I stuttered/moaned.

He grinned standing back up on his feet and helping me back into my shirt.

"Listen" Noah held my face in both his hands.

I looked him in the eyes finding reassurance there.

"Don't be scared your going to be alright....and he is too" Noah placed a hand over my stomach.

My jaw fell.
