His Blue Moon Princess
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 65

"Elena... What are you doing here?"

Breathe in, Elena. He's on his territory, you're not. It's normal for him to ask. "I came to see Bobo." "Bobo?"

He turns to Boyan and Nora, looking for a confirmation. Meanwhile, I'm still looking at him. My wolf is going crazy. It's only been a few weeks, did he change a lot? He looks perfectly normal, in his usual black suit, his hair is a bit disheveled. Has he thought about me at all? Or are we really over?

When he finally turns to me, he puts on an angry front.

"You're not supposed to be here."

"Are you going to kill me then?"

That doesn't work on me, Nate. I can tell when you're angry for real, and you're not. I don't even feel his aura or his wolf growling. More importantly, I'm not scared of him at all. He's not Diego, Nate would never, ever touch me or hurt me. What are you really doing here, Elena?

I told you, I just came to talk to Boyan.

I don't buy it.

I sigh internally. Damn, I forgot how stubborn he can be...

Elena, we need to talk.

Do you really want to talk in front of your Brother's mate? And Boyan?

I...

See you later, Nate.

He's still speechless, and I use that opportunity to leave. A bit too fast, I just want to walk out of here before he realizes how nervous I am.

I don't even know how I can stand before him without exploding... I'm potentially pregnant with his child. Nate's baby. And he has no f*****g idea, Moon Goddess. I feel like I could drop the bomb to him at any given moment, like it's struggling to get past my lips. When I saw him, I freaked out. I didn't plan to see him, and I had no idea what to do. It's still the same man, but Moon Goddess, so much has happened in the meantime...

I try to walk back fast, leaving the area as fast as possible. I can still feel their people following me from a distance. If only I can get to the border fast before I get myself into serious trouble... Daniel?

Waiting for ya, Babe.

I met with Nate.

What? No s**t! Did you tell him?

Of course not, you i***t! I'm not even sure I'm pregnant yet, and even if I do, I... I'm not sure I'm ready, Daniel.

Okay, Okay, indeed, it's a bit too soon. Just come here and we'll go to the clinic, make everything clear. Mom's waiting for us.

Yeah, I...

"Elena!"

Oh, f**k.

I didn't expect Nathaniel would after me come after me since I left the salon... I hesitate, but I can't just keep walking with him running after me and calling my name. I sigh and turn around to face him. Looks like he really did run to catch up, his suit is in a mess. I resist the urge to arrange it for him, crossing my arms against my chest.

Facing him is making me more nervous than I thought. I purposely wore huge clothes to cover myself today, and I don't think anything is showing up, but... Having Nathaniel right in front of me is making me feel pregnant as hell. My wolf, too, is taking the defensive stance. She's constantly worried for her pup, and an Alpha male is not to ease her down, even if he's the father...

"We need to talk," he says, out of breath. "I did not have s*x with Narcissa since I met you. I swear."

My gosh, did he have to remind me of that b***h?

"Even if you didn't, Nate, and I'm not saying I believe you or not, it doesn't change things. We can't be together, and you know that."

"If it's only about the packs, I don't care, Elena. I can talk to my brother. Damian will..."

"What about my pack, Nate?" I shout back, exasperated. "I'm supposed to leave everything behind for you? Did you ever consider my position, in your plans? I'm the Alpha's niece! And the White Moon Alpha's goddaughter, too! Imagine if they find out I'm going out with the King's brother!"

Let alone having his child. I would be banished from both the Opale Moon and White Moon Clans, cut off from my family. I wouldn't even be able to see my Dad in the hospital, or talk to any of my friends again. And it's not something I can afford right now! "You could live with me, Elena, in the Blood Moon Pack."

Oh, Moon Goddess, he can't be f*****g serious right now...

He's tempting me, and I don't want that. I'm already too torn between him and my pack, and now I have his child to take into account, too. I have no idea how Nate would react to the news, and that terrifies me. Elena, hurry up, girl.

Nate's here, Danny. Talking with me right now.

Oh, s**t. Elena, you have to get out of here, seriously... Sylviana said no stress...

I know.

"Elena, I'm dead serious. I know we've had ups and downs, but I want to sit down and be able to discuss things seriously with you. I'm not over you, I'm nowhere near that. I want you back, I want the relationship we had back." I shake my head.

"I'm not going back to being your s*x friend, Nate. I believe you had plenty of candidates for that," I say, still bitter about last time.

"I meant as my lover, Elena, my girlfriend."

Oh, s**t, why did he have to say that now... He never said that damn word, and I wasn't ready to hear it. I just can't! I have way too much going on right now! I'm close to uncovering the secret behind my birth, I just found Nora, my uncle is seriously after me, and Diego, too... And I'm f*****g pregnant with his child!

"Elena?"

He comes close, worried about my sudden tears, but I step back. I feel like I'll explode if he touches me. I'm such a mess right now... I try to wipe them away clumsily. Damn, if only I could control my emotions a little! "Elena, talk to me."

"Nate, I can't. Not here, not now, okay? I don't... I don't feel like talking. It's really not a good time right now."

He frowns, and his eyes go down on my oversized denim jacket.

"Is it because of him? Daniel's brother?"

s**t, he definitely smelled it was Levi's... Damn, I only borrowed it to cover my pregnancy! I didn't think that would lead to another jealousy crisis with Nathaniel! I shake my head, annoyed. This is not what I came for, and I don't want to fight him again! "Leave Levi alone, Nate, seriously. He's got nothing to do with you."

"Are you going out with him now? For real?" He asks, his breathing becoming more intense.

"Moon Goddess, Nate, I told a hundred times, no! I only borrowed his jacket, okay? Enough with this! I'm fed up with your jealousy!"

"Then why did you block me? It's been weeks Elena! I couldn't call or text you, I couldn't reach you at all!"

"I needed time alone, Nate! Okay? Things have been hard lately, and I have had enough to deal with already! I'll unblock you if it makes you happy, but I don't have the luxury to stay right now, okay?"

I turn back and start walking, trying to stop my tears. f**k, I really wish I hadn't cried in front of him...

"Elena!"

I keep walking, trying to ignore him, but he suddenly grabs my wrist, and before I can even react, kisses me.

Moon Goddess. I feel my whole body going numb under his lips. How long has it been? I just can't react. I don't push him away, I don't answer his kiss, I can't do anything. Nate's kiss is driving me crazy. I want to scream and cry again, I can't take it. Why is he doing this now?

He separates from me, putting his hands on my shoulders, while I'm still standing there like an i***t, confused as hell.

"Elena, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I lied to you. I'll say it now. I love you, Elena. I really love you."

Holy shit....

He really said it. I am shivering with something I can't identify right now. My heart's bursting with happiness, but my head is freaking out. Why now, of all times? This is so brutal, I have no idea how to respond to that. I stay there, speechless, lost. Moon Goddess, is this even real? And why the hell does he have to confess when I'm already a hormonal mess!

I try to calm down. Think about the baby, think about the baby, Elena, Sylviana said no stress... My gosh, he's so not helping!

"Nate, I... I can't..."

"You can't what, Elena?"

I take a deep breath in. I can't handle the bomb you just dropped on me now! I shake my head, trying to find the right words. I wish I could tell him how I feel, too, but I'm just so confused right now, I feel like crying, screaming and literally blowing up. Deep breaths, think of something to say. Something that will not make me look totally nuts.

"I can't answer you right now. I have things to sort out, and..."

"Elena, why is it never the time with you!" He suddenly bursts, angry. "I'm opening my heart to you, putting my feelings in the open, and it's not the right time? Are you kidding me? I just need a yes or no, Elena!"

"You can't just ask me that, Nate! You think it's easy! I got a million things to take into account, and you just think I would let it all go for you! Put yourself in my shoes, for once! I'm not as powerful as you, I'm not the King's brother! I can't just decide to throw all of my life away on a whim!"

"Seriously, what's holding you back? Can't you just admit that you're too scared of your feelings for me? I know you love me too, Elena!"

"It's not that easy! I got a father in the Hospital, my uncle and godfather are freaking Alphas, Nate! I can't just throw away the pack I grew up in, do you realize they adopted me? I wasn't even born there, and yet they gave me a home, a place, and responsibilities! I can't just leave them on a whim, Nate! You don't know what it's like!"

How can I still be angry with him? This whole damn conversation is exhausting, why are we yelling and screaming every time we see each other! He sighs, shaking his head, visibly annoyed. I know he's serious, but I'm not as free as he is!

"I have to go..." I say, retreating a bit.

"So you're going to leave me without an answer? Again?"

"Not now, Nate, seriously."

Moon Goddess, I have to go to the clinic so I can confirm I'm pregnant with his baby, why do I have to deal with this first! He frowns, looking at me. I need to go back to the frontier, so I take my courage and turn around, wrapping my arms around me. I walk fast, and I know he's following me. I know it's his territory, his right, but...

"Elena!"

As promised, Daniel is waiting for me at the border, along with... s**t, Levi. Nathaniel clicks his tongue.

"Of course."

"He's only here to accompany me, Nate."

"Yeah, I bet..."

I turn to him, angry.

"Nathaniel, enough. Levi's helping me where you can't. If you don't like it, I don't care. We'll talk later."

He stays silent, but his glare at Levi speaks volumes. Seriously... I turn around and finally get in the car, unable to hold it anymore. Levi's driving, and I purposely sat on the back with Danny. My best friend looks at me, worried.

"You okay, babe? Your eyes are red..."

"Levi, just start the car, please."

"Yeah..."

I try to ignore Nate's stare I can feel from the other side of the road. Moon Goddess, I'm so tired already...

"Elena?"

"I'm not feeling well... "I admit.

"Hang on babe, we're going to the clinic, getting you all checked up."

I doze off on Daniel's shoulder until we get there. I'm trying to forget my dispute with Nate. This all came at such a bad timing... Why is the timing always so off? I have to say, I'm feeling weaker than usual. It's a relief when Levi finally parks in front of the Clinic. The Lewis brothers help me out, and Iris comes to meet me on the parking lot, looking worried.

"Are you okay, Elena? You look very pale... Come, Mrs. Lewis has the room ready for you."

My cousin guides us through the hospital and, as promised, I'm taken into an isolated room. I don't know why, but the sight of the medical equipment makes it all a bit too real. Daniel holds my hand even when I sit on the weird chair for observation. Levi holds my jacket for me and leaves the room quietly. I'm a bit grateful. I'm nervous enough without a public around...

I don't know if they told their mom beforehand, but Abigail is very nice to me.

"Okay, sweetheart, we are going to take an ultrasound directly to confirm. The gel will be a bit cold."

She puts some sort of lube on my tummy, and Daniel helps me keep my shirt up. I take a deep breath in, trying to relax. It feels good to be laying down, but I can't keep my eyes off the screen. Abigail's strange probe is going around my tummy until she stops. "There it is..."

"What? Where?" I ask, squinting on the screen.

She smiles and points her finger at a little shape on the screen, and zooms in a bit.

"Moon Goddess mother..." whispers Daniel.

Holly s**t, he means! I can see my baby. I didn't expect it to be so obvious. Its shape, I can even see his... Her head! And she's freaking moving, too! I start crying again, shocked. Moon Goddess, how can she already be this big! And I had no freaking idea!! "There he is... About 1.5 inches, Elena. Danny's friend was right, you're in your eleventh week."

"It's a she, mom," says Danny.

Moon Goddess, it's my baby right there! I keep crying, shocked beyond words. Danny gives me a hug.

"Congrats, babe, you're going to be a mom!" He whispers.

"Danny, I can't believe it, it's... It's really..."

"Yup. Your little baby daughter, live broadcasting from your belly!"

I chuckle. My gosh, there's only Daniel to make me laugh in such a situation... Actually, I'm both crying and laughing. I can't believe it. There's really a baby in there, my baby. Nate's baby.

Our daughter!
