Y/N'S POV
I put my face in my hands, as I had recently found out who the father of my child was. I had been pregnant for about 8 months now, but I finally went to see who the lucky guy could be. I had a pretty good idea of who the father was.
I woke up early yet again from morning sickness and threw up my dinner from yesterday. I washed out my mouth and brushed my teeth twice, but then I heard a knock on my door.I immediately finished getting dressed and jogged over to the door. I opened it, and King T'Challa and Okoye stood at my door.
I bowed to King T'Challa, which made the sick feeling worse for me.
King T'Challa bowed back and said,"I'm sorry to disturb you at this time, Y/N, but I could use your help on something. Can you help me out?"
I nodded and replied,"Of course, my king. I'm right behind you."
King T'Challa sent me a smile, and I followed behind him and Okoye.
When Okoye and King T'Challa stopped in front of Erik Killmonger, my face immediately drained of my beautiful color.
Okoye noticed and asked me,"Y/N, everything all right?"
I couldn't say anything, but I just nodded.
King T'Challa said to me,"Y/N, I need you to talk to him. See what he knows. Why he's here. I know you're the perfect woman for this. I have faith in you, just let me know what you find out."
I bowed to King T'Challa and made my way inside the room. Erik noticed me and watched as I stood in front of him.
He chuckled and said,"Couldn't keep away, huh, Y/N?"
I sighed and admitted to Erik,"I'm just as surprised to see you as you are me, but there is something I need to tell you."
Erik nodded and asked me,"What?"
I said,"Erik, I'm pregnant with your child."
Erik laughed and said,"No, you're not. Don't play like that, Y/N."
I replied,"Yes, I am. Erik, I'm serious."
Erik ran his fingers through his hair and said,"You can't-"
I sent Erik a look, already knowing what he was about to say.
Erik said,"Y/N, I really do care about you and I may even love you, but how is this going to work? I'm about to challenge yo' king and take my place as king. However, he doesn't know about what happened with me and you, does he?"
I shook my head, and Erik motioned to his lap.
I sat down in his lap and he said,"I'll figure something out, but I won't let you raise the child on your own. It's my fault why you're pregnant right now. Well, both of ours, but I'll take responsibility for doing what I can."
I smiled at Erik and said,"Wasn't expecting that response, but thank you for not pushing me away. If you need time, I understand?"
Erik rubbed my back and looked me in the eyes saying,"Nah. I don't need time, girl. I've had enough time away from you. I actually missed you a great deal. You're fine where you are. May I?"
Erik was referring to my stomach. I smiled and nodded.
Erik rubbed my stomach slowly, and I said,"I'm supposed to be asking you about why you are here and all that stuff."
Erik chuckled and said,"Smooth transition, babe. I'm here to take the kingdom and show the world that I mean business. I'm tired of not being able to do anything. I've come too far to go back home. This is for my father."
I nodded and Erik continued to rub my stomach, but he stopped when Okoye stood near the door. I was surprised when he gave me a kiss.
He sent me a wink, and I got up. I walked out and told Okoye to tell T'Challa what Erik said. I would say Erik took the news well, a little too well, but that was better than him completely ignoring me.Hopefully, he meant that he was okay with this. I walked back to my room and decided to lay down. It took me a minute to go to sleep, but I was awoken by someone opening my door.
I turned as quickly as I could and saw Erik. He motioned for me to stay quiet and I did.
He got in beside me and said,"Don't question it, babe. I'm staying. Not leaving. They removed the chains, but I still have to challenge your king later."
I rested my hand on Erik's face and truthfully asked him,"Are you really okay with this or are you angry?"
Erik rested his hand over my own and answered,"I'm really okay with this. I know we've been away from each other for a while, but this is my chance to try to get back in the game. Say I do win the challenge, then you'll be my wife and our little kid will be the most handsome young man in Wakanda."
I chuckled and said,"Why? Because his father is you?"
Erik smiled at me and pecked my lips, before he held me as gently as he could. With him here, I just prayed to God that Erik wasn't just getting my hopes up and using me as leverage for later.
I was woken up to a whole fleet of Wakandan warriors around my bed. I turned and saw Erik was standing up beside the bed.King T'Challa glared at me. He was real angry.
He said,"I would expect this from someone else, but not from you. Maybe you used that to your advantage, Y/N. I trusted you and I find you here with him. Why could you possibly do something like this?"
I looked at Erik and he blankly said,"She's pregnant; I'm the father. What else was she supposed to do? Distance herself from me?"
King T'Challa narrowed his eyes at Erik. Erik just chuckled.
King T'Challa said,"Y/N, I'm truly disappointed in you. I know I am supposed to challenge Erik, but that is no longer the case. I am exiling both of you from ever entering Wakandan borders again. I'm truly sorry, Y/N. I still have a soft spot for you, which is why I will give you time. If I see either of you after today, it won't be a warm welcome."
King T'Challa and everyone else walked out, then I realized what just happened.
Erik turned to me, and I just sat down on the bed. Tears poured down my face, and Erik pulled me in for a side hug.He said,"Look at me, Y/N. There is no reason for you to be upset. Yes, this was your home, but look how he treated you. Who does that? You will come back with me and we'll learn to be around one another again. We'll figure out something for us and the baby. Maybe after the baby is born, we can try to come back and show them they made a mistake. Yes?"
I nodded and said,"Okay. Thank you, Erik."
Erik kissed my forehead and said,"You're welcome."
