Chapter Sixteen

Ana

My stomach dances still but this time, with something else. Realization. Dread.

Ax's face watches mine closely and I see the anger building up instinctually, the fury at something being wrong that he doesn't understand. If Ax had been raised somewhere else, he might have his suspicions. As it is, he only sees that I'm sick. Again.

Fuck.

"I'm sure it's just a cold or something." I wave him off, spitting into the bowl to clear my mouth, "Grab me that water skin."

He obediently passes me one, his eyes never leaving my face.

"I don't like you sick," he says simply, and I reach out a hand to his cheek.

"I know, I'll be fine I prom—"

"Ciao!"

A voice carries from up the stairs and I turn my head at the sound.

"Is that..."

"It's Emilio," Ax finishes for me, standing with a frown. I send up silent thanks for the distraction.

"Why don't you go down and see where they've been, I'll be down in a minute."

I wait for Ax to leave the room before dropping the expression from my face, letting all the fear I'm feeling bubble to the surface.

I've been sick for no reason lately, hungry all the time. It could be something else. Stress, perhaps. I try to do the math to my last period, and I realize I haven't had one since my first days in The Tomb.

Fuck!

How could I be so fucking stupid? Avoid men my whole damn life and then finally fall for one, and forget the most basic of things that I should worry about. If Ax had been around women more, he might have noticed. As it is, I can't imagine the thought would even occur to him.

My hand falls to my belly and the sinking realization takes hold.

I'm fucking pregnant.

I'll need to find a doctor to be sure, but there's little doubt in my mind.

I have no idea how Ax would react, but I can only assume he'll fucking freak. On that note, what the hell are we going to do? I am no fucking mother, and this is a world I would never want to raise a child in.

Ax's baby. My baby.

Fuck.
