Nos Ascendemus

"I'm here because we have to tell the truth. All of it."

The four of them watched as Serah's face was drained of all its colour and she turned as white as her hospital sheets.

She started to sputter and Benjamin rested his hand on hers, whispering to her that they needed to.

"Kitten, I know as much as you never wanted to do this, we have no choice. This thing has been festering in us all for the past five (5) and is going to eat us inside out. It needs to be done in order to be put to rest for good. Don't think for a second that I don't know that you still cry yourself to sleep most nights or that you scream in your sleep still. I notice it all, but I never spoke up for the sake of you and the baby. I knew if you knew that I was aware you would have started to stress yourself out and I did not want that."

Smiling up adoringly at her husband, she huffed and knew he was right, of course, he was.

This man knew her like the back of his hand. That was something that she admired and loved about him so much, but once again that happiness soon turned to fear.

Serah was incredibly scared about how all of her friends would react, plus the whole club who were also like family to her.

Most importantly, how would her baby brother react to it all as he only knew of the shit that happened right in front of him, yet there was so much more that was done away from his ever-curious gaze.

The whole room was suddenly filled with her quick breaths and the sound of her hands slapping her legs as if to get it to stop. Her husband quickly wrapped his arms around her, cocooning her body in his warm embrace and he whispered soothing things to her in her ear.

"I'm here, kitten. You're gonna be okay, I will be here with you every step of the way. Remember that I love you so much and everyone else does too. We would never let your past dictate how we view you now as a person."

His words slowly pierced her panicked brain and it calmed her down, she should know better than anyone that The Odin's Rider MC and its members were some of the kindest, sweetest and non-judgemental people that ever existed.

The club was always prattling on about how they are not allowed to judge someone for their past as they all have done some fucked up shit in their lives as well.

Those words always brought her comfort, more so now than ever before and she could not be more grateful for it.

Turning to face her husband's best friend, also her King, she stated that once she was discharged, she wanted to have her gender reveal first and then they'd talk about the two (2) Von siblings past after a few days. Serah expressed that she wanted to tell the whole club, not just the four (4) of them.

Nova looked at her best friend directly in the eye and asked, "Are you positively sure that this is what you want to do?"

"Yes, I have to do it."

"Okay, well we have got your back, don't worry your pretty little head about a thing."

Giggling, the older woman replied, "My little star, how much you've grown into the role as our Queen in such a short span of time. I could not be more proud."

She watched as her friend blushed a brilliant shade of red, which then, in turn, made her burst into a fit of raucous laughter.
This action made Nova's blush become even brighter and this then sent the rest of the room into laughter.

All too soon, Doctor Luke came back into the room and reminded them not to let the patient overexert herself, that included making her laugh too hard.

The five (5) of them listened to all the cautionary measures they would have to take while she recovered because her body was still physically weak after so many days without proper food and exercise.

Once their friend had finished listing off everything, they were left alone again. Turning to face her again, Elias whipped out his phone and opened his notes app.

Typing in a list of things that he needed to get for the gender reveal party, he looked up asked her, "When do you want to have it? Since it was supposed to have been tomorrow, but that is out of the question."

Silently talking to her husband for about two (2) minutes, they simultaneously turned and fixated their eyes onto their friend, which freaked him out, making him feel as if he was in a horror film, like The Shining.

"I actually hate when you two (2) do that, it legitimately makes me want to die. The day you guys start talking at the same time after doing that, I swear to Odin, I will jump out the window in my office."

"Why would you do that?"

"Why would you do that?"

The parents to be watched as he flew up out of his chair and made his way over to the closed door, with a determined look on his face.

"Yep, that's it. It was nice knowing all of you, baby, I love you, but I'm jumping."

Dashing towards his soulmate, Benjamin jumped onto his back, effectively slamming his best friend into the hospital door and smashing his dick.

Hearing the shout of pain had him hopping off of him and spinning him around to face him. Seeing that he was holding his private area, sent him howling with laughter and collapsing onto the floor.

Everyone in the room watched as Elias face morphed from a grimace of pain into a scowl, with eyes filled with mischief.

Before Lennox could get up to stop him from what he was about to do, they watched as their King landed a hard punch to his best friend's junk. The older one of the two coughed and started wheezing for air.

"That's what you get for slamming me into the door and then laughing at me for my pain. You have a kid on the way, I don't. Can't afford to be losing it, you can though Benji."

His statement sent the other three (3) into an uproar and a hard glare from Benjamin. If looks could kill, the brunette would be six feet (6ft) underground in a grave.

"Hardy Har Har. Ellie, you're so funny."

"I know I am."
