Parker
I have practiced my announcement in the mirror at least twelve times this morning. I have this irrational block on the word baby and pregnant.
Let's be honest, this is the weirdest thing I have ever experienced. I have been a Demi-God, had two mates and literally traveled to the Pantheon. In all that time, never have I had something so extraordinary happen to me. I cannot decide if this is good or bad.
Guys do not get pregnant. That is one of the Tenants of being a human. It is human being 101. Yet, somehow, I am carrying a werewolf child. Well, a half-werewolf and half Demi-God child. The logistics of this are important but not on the forefront of my mind.
I have decided to keep my mouth closed until I can calmly and attentively announce my with-child-ancy. I am doing it again. I should be able to say it. I should just say it.
"I am pre—" I stop the sentence when Kohl enters the bathroom. He kisses the side of my head as he walks over to the toilet and begins peeing. I wait for him to stop and he flushes the toilet and heads over to his side of the counter, "How much of that did you hear?"
"You telling yourself you're pretty now?" Kohl yawns.
"Oh! Yeah. Self-love, right?" I ask, "Not the hand type. Like deep, emotional healing."
"Healing?" Kohl looks over at me, "You need healing?"
"Prayer," I say staring forward, "I need prayer."
"To the Moon Goddess?"
"No, to God."
"Human thing, right?" Kohl asks.
"Prayers to God? Apparently." I snort.
Kohl sighs, "Are you sure there's nothing wrong. You're acting oddly."
"Oddly?"
"Yeah, like you're hiding something. I'm exercising restraint by not using our connection to figure it out because I'm hoping you'll tell me."
"Is that so?" I smirk over to him, "Okay, I am hiding something. Right now, I need you to trust me that I'm good and I need time to tell you."
"You can tell me anything."
"I know."
"If you know that, why can't you tell me."
"You're getting angry."
"I'm not."
"Yeah, you are."
"I am not." He says with gritted teeth.
"Kohl."
"I just don't understand...why you can't just say it."
"I can't."
"Can't or won't?" He asks.
"Right now, can't." I turn to him, "Do you trust me?"
"Yes." He says without hesitation.
"Then trust me when I say it's good news. Depending on how you look at it."
"That's...bullshit." Kohl frowns, "You're really not going to tell me?"
"Are you going to tell me what your brash cousin wants?" I ask smiling over to him.
"You didn't find another mate, did you?" Kohl jokes.
I roll my eyes, "No but I have the distinct feeling he's trouble." I frown.
"Faelen? Trouble? No!" Kohl laughs, "He makes me miss Mick."
