Chapter Ten

I jerk awake at the alien feeling inside my tummy. It almost felt like… there it is again! I’m being kicked… From the inside.

Pulling up my sweater I watch in horror and terror as a lumpy mass pushes against my insides, making me look deformed. Then it kicks me again, and I think I might pee myself. With a shriek I hurry to the bathroom, quickly doing my business and washing my hands without drying them before practically running to find Ash.

Both of my mates are seated at one of the tables with Albert, already dressed and ready for the day, Jace’s hair still wet from a recent shower. I shift uncomfortably on my feet as I stop next to Ash, tapping his shoulder until he removes the headphones over his ears.

One look at my face has his body freezing and his eyes scanning the plane. “What’s wrong?” he asks once he scans around for the threat, coming up empty.

I lift my sweater again, pointing to my belly. “I think the baby is trying to escape!” I explain hysterically.

Ash’s head rears back like I’ve slapped him and he makes a face. “Uh, what?”

Why is he not panicking, too? “The baby…it keeps kicking me and pushing on me like it’s looking for an exit. What do I do?”

Before I even finish speaking the baby is back at it, doing the lumpy ball thing that makes it looks like I have a baseball rolling around under my skin. I feel queasy as I watch.

Ash’s eyes double in size, his mouth parting as his tongue slips out to wet his lips. His hands come up, one landing on my hip with a slight shake, the other spreading out over my bare stomach. The baseball reacts violently, kicking at his hand repeatedly. Ash swallows thickly, his eyes closing momentarily. Just when I think he’s starting to understand why I’m freaking out, he opens his dark eyes and stares at me with tears in the corners and the happiest smile I have ever seen grace his face.

I. Do. Not. Understand.

I seek out Jace, wondering if he will help me, but he too is wearing a sappy smile as he stares at my belly. I drop my sweater as I place both hands in my hair, slightly pulling it. “Guys, why are you happy? Don’t you understand that this is bad? It’s trying to get out when it’s supposed to stay in, and it’s angry and trying to hurt me.”

Jace makes a squeaking sound, but when I glance at him again his lips are pressed firmly together and his eyes are on Ash, not me. If I didn’t know any better I’d swear he was trying to hold in laughter. But this situation isn’t funny.

Ash leans his head down and starts whispering to the baseball. “I know you’re having fun in there, but I need you to relax, little one. You’re scaring your mama. Don’t worry, we’ll explain everything to her and then she’ll calm down.
