"I'm pregnant." Ivory clasped her hands around her partner's stomach. "I escaped punishment because I'm pregnant. I made it through First Checking," she whispered again.
Aaron felt his world spinning.
In a second, he thought the voice came from another world. Parallel. Invisible. Even though it's there. He dropped his fist just like that and glanced at the thin hands wrapped around his body.
Ivory was still sobbing. Hugging him tighter. The sound of crying was even deafening to the senses of his hearing. It was as if the surroundings were a shadow covered by a light mist. Even the anger that initially controlled the body has disappeared. The figure of the Guardian Commander that he had wanted to rip was now meaningless. There's only one thing that is spinning in his head.
Her partner is pregnant.
He will soon be a father.
