Chapter 499 Am I Really Pregnant?
"I am so sorry, Akin!" I whispered, afraid of walking up to him. I have pushed him away so many times that I feared he would do the same now. Why would he want someone like me to come closer to him?
I didn't even let him speak but how would have I known? My nightmare or whatever it was seemed so real to me. "Akin-," I uttered and without questioning me, he rushed closer and pulled me tightly into his arms. I felt my whole world crumbling and coming together again as he tightened his arms around my body.
"I am so―," as I tried apologizing again, he silenced me.
"Stop! Don't apologize. I am sorry for not noticing sooner that you were having troubles," he once again took the blame even to the public humiliation I caused him by yelling and shouting at him in front of everyone. "Come. Let's get inside first. It is getting colder out here," Akin murmured while keeping me close. He walked me upstairs and I had my face hiding in his chest the entire time. I felt so guilty of my outburst.
Once we were in the room, he settled me in the bed and pulled a blanket over me.
"You should sleep now. I will stay awake to make sure you are fine, okay?" his voice was low and the way he was hiding his eyes from me, I could feel the tension in his body language. No way he was not thinking too much about it.
He was clearly upset but kept his emotions masked up so that he doesn't hurt me.
"Akin! I didn't mean to-it doesn't mean I don't trust you," I forced the words out of my lips when he tried getting up. I held his hand and pulled him back but the way he looked so defeated, I felt like somebody had killed me right then and there.
"It's alright. You don't have to say anything," he uttered without turning his head my way.
"But I want to. All that didn't mean I don't want to be with you. It was just the fear of losing you that made me act up and unable to differentiate between reality and a nightmare.
"I love you so much that I thought I have lost you. I don't ever want to lose you," I began to cry, surprising him. I don't know what I have been doing lately that was so wrong that he seemed so surprised hearing the affectionate words from my I*ips for him.
"Are you―," he shook his head to be certain he was hearing me correctly.
"I am serious. I don't ever want to lose you. I am thinking about it and wondering, what are we waiting for now?" as I asked him that, he finally turned to me and looked baffled.
"Waiting for what?" he inquired.
"Of getting married. We should be planning and just getting ready-," I held his hands in desperation and crawled closer to him.
"Are you serious? You want to marry me? I hope you are not under any pressure," he seemed so genuinely happy but confused at the same time. It was all my fault.
I was so happy when he proposed me so why did I make him feel like I wasn't happy?
Nothing made sense but at least I was able to say a few things and I used this opportunity to say as much as I could. "Please let's get married. I don't want anyone to steal you from me," I stated again. I was doing the most. I wanted to rip open my chest to show him how much love I had for him in my heart.
"Come here," Akin got in the bed and hugged me, "I am so happy to hear that. We will get started on preparing for our marriage," he seemed as excited as I was.
"Really? Let's do it in a month. We will have Gwen find too by then," I said happily.
"I am so happy. You have no idea how badly worried I was. I cannot lose you either, Beatrice. Losing you means losing myself," his sweet words meant the world to me. The fact that he never gave me heat for my action and acted like nothing happened made me fall more in love with him. That night we hugged each other super tight and cuddled till late morning. Since we were tired and finally in each other's arms, nobody woke us up.
When we did wake up, we broke the news of our marriage right away. More like Akin did it while I stayed upstairs to get ready for the day.
"I am fine. I will get through this phase," I stared at my image in the mirror and spoke confidently.
"Whatever troubles I am having shall pass. I need to get married to Akin as soon as I can," I was trying to remind myself that I need to have him before something major happens and I lose him. Taking a deep breath, just when I was about to leave the bathroom, I felt the urge to throw up. The morning sickness was the worst thing and weirdly enough, I was dealing with it now.
I threw up and sat down on the floor. "What is going on with me?" I asked myself in worry.
"Ace!" I called for her out of desperation. It's been some time that she hadn't even said a word.
"Ace! Are you there?" I inquired again but this time, with more curiosity. She hadn't abandoned me like that after we connected.
"Where did she go?" the anxiety took home in my head and just to make sure she is still within me, I snatched the pendant out of my neck.
I was expecting some changes before I wear it back but nothing happened. She didn't show up.
"But how is it possible? How can she leave?" I gasped, "There could be only a certain reason why a weredragon wouldn't wake up. If she had been poisoned or-," I paused because of how crazy it sounded. "Or when someone is pregnant," I mumbled, feeling a strange feeling creeping up my spine.
