FIRE DEMON

chapter 43

"What happened to her?" I can hear voices all around me, but I can't see them. Everything around me is so dark. "Alex? Where are you?" I'm starting to panic. "I'm right here baby." Suddenly his hand is in mine. "You're okay. Just hold on a second."

He peeled something off my eyes, light hurting my eyes. Opening them, I can see everyone standing around a hospital room, what the hell?

"What happened to me?" Sitting next to me, holding me close. "Baby you were convulsing in pain, then you passed out. We couldn't get you to wake up." Looking around the room, Raphe Rolf are there, but no Nick or Violet. Someone knocked at the door, looking up a doctor is standing there, holding a hospital chart.

"Come in. What did you find?" Alex asked, holding me all the tighter. The doctor closed the door, coming closer to us. Looking closer at him, he's a demon; I'm just not sure what kind he is. "Z this is a friend of ours Max, we have friends in every hospital, police station, everywhere. He's an ice demon." Nodding. "Hello nice to meet you. What have you found out doc?" "Miss Lane. Congratulations. You're four weeks pregnant." Sitting back, did he just say, what I think he's saying?

"I'm sorry, did you just say? Am I pregnant?" He nodded. "Yes you are. Other than that you are in fine form. I will give you a moment alone." He bowed and left, closing the door behind him.

Looking at Alex, he's staring out the window. Does he even want it? "Alex? What are we going to do here?" He still didn't say anything, setting my hands on my stomach, there's actually a baby in there. I never thought that I would have children, but now there's this life growing inside of me.

"Alex? Please say something." Turning to look at me, a huge smile on his face. "We're going to have a baby." Kissing me, I can't believe he's reacting like this. Kissing him back. "I love you. I love you so, so much." He said pulling back. Smiling. "We're going to have a baby." He nodded. "Yes we are."

The guys cleared their throats; looking over, they both have huge smiles on their faces. "Congratulations you two." Raphe said, hugging us both.

"Thank you so much." Clearing my throat. "Can I get out of here now? I would really like to get out of here, and go home." Alex nodded, kissing my head. "I will go take care of it." Rolf stayed with me while Alex and Raphe went and took care of the paperwork. Climbing out of bed, Rolf handed me my clothes.

"I am really happy for the two of you." "Thank you." Going into the bathroom, I changed looking at my stomach; I can't believe there is a baby in there. How would Zack react to my news? If I ever see him again, now I'm really starting to wonder if I will ever see my best friend ever again.

Knocking at the door, I pulled on my jacket and walked out, Alex is there smiling at me.

"Are we ready to go now?" "Yes we are. Let's head home." Taking my hand we started out of the hospital, but Alex stopped me grabbing a wheelchair.

"Oh no. I am not getting in that thing." "You are carrying very precious cargo, you are getting into that chair until we get to the car." Sighing I know there is no way for me to get out of this, I sat in the chair, allowing them to push me like a baby.

I hope he isn't going to act like this for my entire pregnancy, I will kill him if he does. I have never been treated like this in my life, and I don't intend to start now. Except for the chair to the car, of course.

Walking into the house, it feels like ages since I have seen these walls, even though it has only been a few hours, a day if that. "We're home." Alex called. Suddenly Violet and Nick are both there, Violet pulling me into her arms, crushing me against her chest.
