CHAPTER TWELVE

Surprise

When I returned from my much-needed trip to the bathroom, Overton pulled back the covers and urged me to lay beside him, patting the snow-white sheets. “When were you planning to tell me? Or wasn’t I supposed to know?” The look I had become addicted to wasn’t anywhere to be found. His gaze was cold and distant.

I pulled the covers up to my chin. “As soon as I processed everything. I only found out today. I didn’t want to get your hopes up if it wasn’t yours.”

“It? It’s a baby, Linden. I can’t believe you didn’t tell me right away.”

“I wanted to, but if it wasn’t…”

“Wasn’t mine? That would mean the child was Cyril’s. How is there a downside? Do you think I’m foolish enough to think you and Cyril don’t copulate? I know how these things work. I’m a doctor after all.”

His condescending tone, something I usually only heard from Cyril, irritated me. I clutched the blanket in my fists. “No, Dr. Stanton, I don’t think your knowledge of biology is lacking, but I do wonder if they covered supernatural breeding in your medical texts. It could have cleared quite a few things up. Besides…” I slapped him gently on the arm. “Both you and Cyril assured me that neither of you was capable of fathering…” I paused.

“Fathering what, Linden? A child? Our child? Is it such a deplorable thought you can’t even form the word?”

“No. Just…” I brushed my fingers through my hair. “Fuck, I can’t be someone’s mother. I don’t even know what I am. How on earth can I raise a…” I swallowed hard. “A child?”

“It’s not your burden alone. You have plenty of help.”

“Overton, less than seventy-two hours ago we were attacked by a shapeshifter. That supernatural badass, with a serious piercing fetish, locked us in a cage together. Those events aren’t the making of a stable childhood. Not to mention I fell for the oldest trick in the book.”

He raised an eyebrow.

“Oh, don’t worry. I can’t get you pregnant.” I didn’t bother to hide my sarcasm.

His eyes narrowed. “I won’t comment on how unfair that accusation is. You know better. All the combined centuries Rhys, Sinclair, Dominic, Thor, and I spent screwing our way from continent to continent, not one of us has fathered a child. You, love, are the one to blame. There is something about you that’s different. And if you want me to sit here and lament this turn of events, you will be sorely disappointed.”

“I knew you’d be happy.”

“Happy doesn’t describe it. But I’m not happy you’re distressed.” He cupped my cheek. “I wish you could see what a miracle this is and know you are anything but alone.”

I looked away from him. “I’m concerned about Cyril.”

“Why? I’m sure, given a little time, he’ll feel the same as I do.”

“Probably, but he doesn’t see the wonder in it. I think he hoped somehow, there was a possibility he was responsible. But now feels convinced otherwise now. I should go check on him.
