She froze. I felt her tense up. I pulled her to me trying to figure out what happened. I realized that she was thinking on what the Dr's just told us.
Pregnant they said. I couldn't stop the smile from my face. I was over joyed. I hug her tight whispering in her ear.
"I want this baby. I will be here for you through the whole thing. Anything you need or want let me know."
I sat back and gauged her reaction. Her eyes opened and she looked up at me. Then slowly a smile appeared on her face.
"You mean it? You really want this child?"
I nodded. "Yes nothing would make me happier. I would like a girl but I'm okay with either."
She smiled bigger as tears filled her eyes. I wasn't expecting her to throw herself at me. Her arms wrapped around my neck and I held on for dear life. She's mine I thought all mine. No one can take her away from me again.
As we pulled out of our embrace the Dr's were looking at us.
"Umm were you waiting for something?" My mate asked the Dr's.
They nodded as one then all started talking at once. I whistled.
"Hey one at a time." I pointed at one. "You first. Slowly so my mate can understand."
She nudged me on the side with her elbow. Umpf. I rubbed my side her sharp elbow hurt.
The Dr grinned and started to speak. "Since i understand you zoned out as your cousin would say I will repeat my instructions. First we don't know how long this baby will gestate. I know your cousin said 6 months for your kind and De'rax is the same but with De'raxs dna being changed. We don't know how that will affect everything. So for now we want to see you every week. Until we see how this is going to go it may change. Second, we would like to talk with both if you about how you are doing not just physically but mentally as well. That was a big ordeal. Since we just looked you over yesterday we will see you in two days. In the meantime we would like for both of you to come to the med bay to discuss what happened. Also we can answer any other questions you might have."
"My mate and I understand and we will let you know if we want to talk. For now we just want to rest. I know we were asleep for two days to heal and one more day after that. All we want to relax and enjoy each other's company."
"We understand. We will be waiting for your response."
I stood up and took my mates hand. Leading her back to our room. I stripped her naked and pulled her onto the shower. Taking my time I washed her slowly starting with her hair. She relaxed into me. Letting me take over her care. I worked my worked my way down her body. I noticed she was relaxed but still exhausted. So I pushed her onto the bench then washed myself. When I turned the water off i grabbed a towel and wrapped my mate in it. Carrying her into the bedroom I set her down and quickly dried her. The laying her down in bed I dried off and joined her. Pulling her into me while pulling the blankets over us. I kissed her forehead and quietly whispered. "Sleep tight ona. I love you."
