Chapter Eight

I felt a nudge in my belly. I smiled but I didn’t bother to wake up. The twins might be up but I still felt very tired. I turned to my back to give them more space as they swam around hoping they wouldn’t disturb my sleep. I felt another nudge on my right. It was harder this time. I ignored it; I didn’t want to wake up now.

“Whatever it is, you’ll have to wait until I feel like waking up,” I mumbled.

The kicks got harder, but the ones on the left were softer than the right. Annoyed I woke up. It might be my body but they called the shots. “Baby on the right, don’t blame me if I like baby on the left better.”

I pulled myself up and sat on the bed. I felt sicker and more exhausted than I’d ever felt before. This may be usual according to Josh but there was nothing usual about my body. With all that was going on inside me, I was sure my body was having a difficult time dealing with it.

“Don’t worry, Joe is looking into it.” A cool voice came from across the room.

Ash’s voice startled me. I looked up to see him seated on a chair opposite my bed. He stared at me with a gentle look, and his lips were curved in a crooked smile. I sat there gaping at him, I wasn’t sure exactly what to do or say. He hadn’t come into my room since he’d come back, exactly what was he doing here now?

“I came to check up on you. You’ve been asleep for close to thirteen hours after being awake for just an hour at midday. We were getting worried.”

“But I’ve been asleep for that long before, there was nothing to get…” I stopped when I realized what he said. I don’t remember saying anything. He was in my mind again. “Stay out of my head, Ash!” I yelled at him, peeved.

“I’m only in your head to make sure you are fine. I wasn’t sure if you’d slipped into a coma or you were really asleep.” Ash maintained his cool voice.

“Do I look comatose to you? And why do you care what happens to me?”

“I care.” He lost his grin and his lips were pressed in a tight line.

“Of course you do,” I said sarcastically.

He crossed his arms over his chest and his gentle look turned into a glare. “I know you think I don’t care for you anymore but I do.”

“You just care for me, nothing else?” I whispered. I already knew the answer but I needed him to come out and just say it.

“I care enough to protect you,” he spoke just above a whisper.

“No you don’t.” I could feel a sob creep into my throat. “You don’t love me and you don’t care enough to protect me. I’m just another piece on the chess board both you and Baku want to play.”

I heard my voice catch. I knew I wasn’t ready to be alone with him.
