Chapter 10
Sick and Tired -2
Jackson:
Dianna has been sick for a couple of days now. There are very few reasons for her to get sick and I think I know what is wrong with her but I'm waiting for confirmation. I need to wait until she is too sick to put up a fight for me to call our son in to check his mom.
I go in to check on her and bring her fresh water. She's laying in the bed trying to hide how sick she is. She drinks a small amount and I tell her, I have to get back to work. I walk out, but instead of going back to the office, I wait outside the bedroom door. I hear her rushing to the bathroom, walk back in, wait a few minutes until I hear running water. I stand in the bathroom doorway, watching and waiting. She finally looks at me. I know it's time to link our son doctor Louis. He said he will be right over. I didn't tell him what I think is wrong with his mom, he will figure it out on his own. I help D back to bed. She knows what I did without me saying a word. She normally would be throwing something at me, but she was too weak to put up a fight. When Lou and his nurse arrived, I explained her symptoms. He just nods his head and smiles a huge smile and laughs. Saying Mom isn't going to like this. I don't know if he's talking to me or himself but he's happy and so am I. Truth be known, I wanted more kids, I know I agreed to no more but things happened and I didn't take the preventive step. I didn't put a cap on. I knew it was a huge risk but when my mate is rubbing her fingers through my hair and breathing in my ear, well I didn't want to waste time finding that dang pack and wrestling opening it up.
His nurse draws some blood from D and Lou tells us he will have the results soon. His nurse takes the sample back to the hospital. 30 minutes later, she called Lou. He looks at me still smiling and tells me. "You know Mom is going to have your head for this, both of them and we both know it won't be a quick death for you Dad". I can't help but smile a cocky smile. If I knew she wouldn't hear me, I would jump up and down shouting HOORAY!
Lou goes into the bedroom and tells his mom he wants her to come to the hospital for more tests because she's pregnant. She freezes for a second and then her eyes go wide as she registers the news. Then she glares at me. I know that look, she is pissed! She links me and doesn't stop her ranting and raving until we get to the hospital.
At the hospital.
I know Lou is thorough with his work but damn. It took 3 hours for him to tell us that it is common for hybrids to get ill when they are pregnant with twins. It's too early to tell what sex they are, but they are healthy and tells his mom he is prescribing her some safe herbal medicine for the vomiting so she will be able to eat and the babies to grow healthy. He hugs us both and tells his mom to take it easy and for her not to kill me until the babies are born because he wants to be the one to deliver them, not some prison doctor who knows nothing about anything and lets out a huge laugh. D says "I absolutely positively refuse to promise anything of the sorts. Your dad caused this mess because he didn't want to spend two damn seconds to wrap up his pecker. Not to mention, I now have to cancel the reservations for our first kid free vacation and you want me to hold off on his very slow and painful death? What kind son are you? You are supposed to be horrified about having 2 let me repeat, 2, little siblings, not looking at me like you just hit the damn lottery. Jackson, take me the hell home now and you are going move into the guest room until these kids are born. Heavens forbid them to be delivered by a prison doctor because YOUR SON is demanding to deliver his own siblings, so you are staying far away from me. Do you understand"?
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
I just shake up and down agreeing with her knowing she is just blowing off steam. She would never kick me out of our room. She loves sleeping on my chest too much to actually kick me out of our bed.
Leaving the hospital, I picked her up bridal style. She makes a huge fuss about it but when I remind her of our babies she is carrying, she calms down and lets me carry her to the car. I opened the car door, set her down very carefully in the seat. As I'm reaching for her seat belt, I give her a deep passionate kiss and when I pull away from her beautiful lips, I kiss her stomach. It's the same action I took every time we found out we were having a baby, only this time I kissed her stomach twice. We stop and pick up her prescription and go home. I carry her to bed, bring her fresh water and the anti vomiting drops. She takes them like the champ she is, She makes an awful face and says, I thought they were supposed to stop me from throwing up, not induce vomiting. I laugh and kiss her head and she kisses my cheek as I tell to rest and if she needs anything, she can link me and I will get it.
After 3 hours of paperwork for the family corporation, I get a link from D. She is awake and starving. It's been 3 days since she ate solid food. Did she really think she could hide her being sick from me? We have been together too long for that to happen. She wants a chef salad and a juicy steak. I tell her I will cook and serve it to her in bed. She tells me thank you and I love you. While cooking for my beautiful mate I start to reminisce.
Thinking back to when we first found each other. We were 13. First day back at school. All of a sudden in the hall, I'm hit by something, well come to find out it was someone. The force knocked her on her pretty ass. From that moment on we were inseparable.
It is a vampire custom to wait until we graduate high school to have a matting ceremony. Until then you are not supposed to have sex with your mate until the ceremony. We followed that custom without complaint. Not saying it wasn't hard, because boy was it. I spent many a night taking a cold shower. We didn't even kiss but just looking at her had me rock hard. We followed customs though and got to know each other more and more.
I knew her parents didn't like me because I'm a vampire fae hybrid. They tried several times to get us to reject each other with different methods. I'm not a fan of the so-called Lycan king and queen, because of the dirty tricks they tried to play to keep us apart. Obviously they never did work and I'm so glad Dianna and myself saw through everything they tried to throw at us both. Lie after lie, sending women, even some where humans in nothing, to my house trying to get me to cheat on my mate. They even sent professional investigators to follow me around. The only pictures and information they ever got, was the fact I was the First Prince and heir to the Vampire and Fae throne, a straight A plus student who never had any other females around me whatsoever. The only female that was allowed to get close to me was Dianna. All females knew not to even ask me a question. That was even before I found my mate. In the classes I had with Dianna, I sat only beside her. In my other classes, I sat with my friends who were all male. When the naked female was sent to my house. I wasn't the one who answered the door, My father was. He just called for my mother to handle the obscenity. Let's just say my mother was not happy and sent them away screaming in pain. She doesn't play those childish games. When her despicable parents got the investigation report and they found out I was the first prince. They stopped their insanity. I don't know what D had to endure off of them but I know whatever it was that they put her through was enough for her to move out and cut all contact with them She never spoke to them until after Maurice was born. She never talks about what happened back then. I'm positive what happened would had been enough for it to cost them their lives. I remember the day she came running to me with tears streaming down her face asking me if I knew of a place she could stay until our ceremony. I immediately called my Dad. He may be known as Vlad the Impaler but he did what he had to do in the face of war. To me my Dad is the greatest vampire and the best dad and grandfather anyone could ever hope for. Dad told me that he and mom would make arrangements for Dianna to live in one of the palace wings, for her to come home with me after school. She moved in with nothing. Mom took her shopping that afternoon and bought her everything she needed and things she didn't need at all. We would eat together, do our homework together but at bedtime, we went to our parts of the castle. We never even kissed until the matting ceremony was over. Then we moved into our own house when I took this pack over from her Uncle who couldn't stand his sister or her husband. I understand why he didn't like them. I had my share of their troublesome ways.
