“Hi Nova”
Andrea greeted Nova who was sitting there trying not to interfere with her and Laurent’s business. Laurent was looking like a lost child not saying a word; Andrea sensed his hesitation to answer so she asked him again, “tell me what Lau?”
Laurent looked back at Nova who only shrugs her shoulders. He took a deep breath and looked back at Andrea, and the lie was formed.
“Larry likes Anael”
Nova tried her hardest not to give it away so she gave a light shrug with a shy grin on her face. Andrea raised her brow, “really? That’s it?”
“Yeah…I’m sorry honey. I didn’t want you to find out like this”
Andrea started to laugh, “no its fine that’s a good thing. So I, uh…I’m going back to bed than…I guess”
Both Laurent and Nova nodded and Andrea gave them a simple head nod and started to go back up the steps. Laurent listened for her footsteps until he heard them no more, “Well that was unpleasant” Nova stated.
“Look I know everybody thinks I should just man up and tell Andrea but I’m not going to…not right now that is, everything is under control”
“So what are you going to with her while you’re gone saving your brother and not your wife and kid?”
Laurent frowned at her smart little remark but soon turned his grim frown into a grim smile. “Why you looking at me like that?” Nova asked strangely. “Larry told me he told you about Diablo and Kyra”
“Yeah he said they would be good on my team…why?”
***
Andrea sat on the bed looking through maternity magazines when her door was opening and Nova was walking through it. Andrea sat the magazine down, “Uh hi Nova”
“Hey Red, how you feeling?”
Andrea looked down at her large growing stomach, “fat and useless”
Nova sat on the edge of the bed, “why did you say useless?” she asked her. “Because…I feel like there’s something going on but nobody will tell me what it is. All I want to do is help but I’ll just get the whole you’re pregnant excuse. I feel like I’m in the way”
Nova felt bad for Andrea; she looked so tired, the baby was draining her because of all the nutrients it was sucking out of her. “Do you mind…?” Nova asked if she could lay her hand on her stomach. Andrea shrug, “sure you can feel her”
Nova giggled, “It’s a her?”
“That’s what I want but I don’t care what it is…its mine and that’s all that matters”
Nova placed her hand on Andrea’s stomach checking for the baby’s heart rate; a steady heartbeat thumped through her veins. The baby was still alive and for now hasn’t been affected with any kind of poison.
“So Andrea…here’s the deal; Laurent has asked me to handle the delivery process for you and the baby”
Andrea just looked at her, “Why?”
“Well for starts what you’re going through is a supernatural birth so only the supernatural can handle it. I will be delivering the baby for you and you will be having a home birth”
Andrea sighed; she knew somewhere along the lines that even giving birth will be decided for her. “Why didn’t Laurent tell me himself?”
“He will…later on tonight. I just wanted to give you a heads up so you won’t be you know…angry”
