Promises

Chapter Sixteen

Ricky’s P.O.V.:

            “Alright so you and practically almost the whole neighbourhood is of a werewolf community? And Travis, the one who was beside me when I woke up in the hospital, is almost a werewolf?” Megan asked me again as she scrunched up her face in confusion.

            I rubbed my hands with my palms as I took in a deep breath.

            “Yes.” I answered.

            “Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Megan cocked her head sideways, looking hurt.

            I sighed as I hugged her.

            “I’m sorry honey. Doctor Simon said he’s afraid of a relapse in case your memory takes a toll on you. If I dump all this information on you the moment you woke up the first time in hospital, no one can fathom what could happened to you. You were too fragile…” I explained softly.

            Megan didn’t hug me back but she didn’t pull herself away which I was glad of.

            “So was it true that Travis was really my ex soulmate?” she asked and I stiffened at that bastard’s name.

            “Yes…” I replied hesitantly. “Why?”

            Was she considering of going back to him?

            Megan took a few seconds before answering me as she rubbed her swollen belly.

            “So am I pregnant with his or your children?” she pressed on.

            God how am I gonna answer this?

            Fuck it, I’m just gonna tell her the truth.

            “It’s Travis…” I said sadly but Megan held my face in her hands.

            “Why are you so sad?” she asked as her green eyes searched my black ones.

            “Because I lied to you… And you’re gonna go back to Travis right since you’re carrying his children…” I choked back my sadness.

            Megan smiled and chuckled as she hugged me.

            “Ricky honey… The way you’ve treated me the past few months have proven that you are the father of my children! I would’ve never guess the truth if you hadn’t confessed to me!” Megan laughed as she pecked my lips.

            I was taken aback by her reaction and blinked at her in surprise.

            “You’re not angry that I lied?” I asked.

            She shook her head, all the time wearing that beautiful smile on her face.

            “No Ricky. You’ve proven yourself that you are worthy to be my husband and the father of my children. Yes Travis may be their biological father but in terms of a father figure, you’re the one.” she answered with so much love that I kissed her forehead.

            “Aren’t you going to ask how you ended up with me and not Travis?” I asked and Megan shook her head.

            “I can put the pieces together. Well maybe not completely but I can guess. If Travis had cared for me he wouldn’t have let me slip out from his life then I wouldn’t be here with you right? Since the opposite is happening means he rejected me.” she finished and I again was awed by my wife’s logic.
