Forever Started With Thirty Days

Chapter 4

Cleo POV:

I woke up in a bed with an IV attached to my arm. What the f**k happened? Why did I look over and see Robert sitting in the chair next to the bed and he looked angry?

“Robert what happened”, I asked him and he seemed to calm down his rage.

“Is it his”, he said, gritting his teeth.

“Is what is whose?”, I asked, totally confused.

“THE f*****g CHILD YOU ARE CARRYING IS IT HIS!”, he says as he jumps in my face. I never saw Robert so mad.

“What the hell are you talking about? GET THE f**k OUT MY FACE”, I yelled back at him and he sat back down and started to rub his face aggressively.

“Cleo, as I was taking you upstairs to rest, you passed out. I called the doctor because I was worried. He checked you and said you were dehydrated and pregnant”, my mouth opened wide, and I am in shock.

“There is no way I am pregnant. Robert, you and I both know I can’t get pregnant ”, I said, shaking my head in disbelief.

“ It is if you were somewhere f*****g A DAMN WEREWOLF”, he starts screaming again.

“Robert, why are you screaming at me? Who I give my p***y to is none of your business”, I am getting pissed off at his behavior. And if I am pregnant, it is definitely Valenzano’s child.

“You are pregnant Cleo, the doctor said, you are. Are you going to keep it?”, he says with sadness.

“What kind of question is that? Robert, thanks for your hospitality and your concerns. I have to go”, I said as I took the IV out and left the house.

“Cleo, wait if you need anything please call me. I meant it when I said I still love you”, he says as he holds the car door open.

“Thanks, Robert, I will keep that in mind”, I said, forcing a smile. I have no idea why he is upset. He divorced me. I didn’t leave him.

As I leave the estate, he is still standing in the doorway watching me leave. He has no right at all to be angry. Am I keeping in what kind of question is that if I’m pregnant of course I will keep it? I head to a store and buy all of the pregnancy tests they have in stock. After taking about 50 tests, I am definitely pregnant. f**k….FUCK….FUCK, I am pregnant by Valenzano. How am I going to tell him? I have to tell him he has a right to know. I started to cry while rubbing my stomach, happy and sad tears. I have no idea what I am going to do. I am sure I am no more than a month pregnant, but wolf pregnancies are faster than human pregnancies. My phone rings. s**t, it's Jazz. I can’t tell her. She will tell West and he will tell Valenzano and he will come and track me down.

“Hello”, I answered.

“Hey girl”, she sounds excited.

“Hey Jazz wuz up”, I try to sound just excited.

“I wanted to tell you the mating ceremony is next Saturday at 8 p.m.”, she is super excited and I am excited for her as well.

“Okay, I will be there” ,I said, then started to panic.

“So when are you coming to stay?”, she asked.

"Stay?”, I am confused.

“Yeah, stay…as in like a sleepover. As my maid of honor, you need to be here for the planning”, she says, like I’m slow.

“I am not sleeping over I will come the day of the ceremony”, I said in a stern voice. I can't do that if I go there and stay there Vintage will find out about the pregnancy before Valenzano does.

“Oh…okay”, she sounds disappointed.

“I know you want me to come there and stay but I cant Jazz I just can’t”, I started to cry.

“Don’t cry, it's ok. I would want you here to help me plan, but we can Skype and plan”, she says, trying to cheer me up.

“Girl, you know I will help with anything you want”, I said, sniffling.

After I got off the phone with Jazz, my stress level rose to 100. I can't keep this secret from her or Valenzano. I know if I tell Val he will make me stay on pack land for our protection. But if this child is raised in the human world, he or she won’t have the need for protection because no one from the shifter world will know whose child I am carrying. Not to mention my life won't be in danger also. I made up my mind I would tell Valenzano when I came back from the ceremony and tell him that our child would be raised in the human world for his or her safety. And that he is more than welcome to be a part of our child's life, but not on pack lands. The worst part is, if I stay too long at the ceremony he will be able to sense a change in me and, Vintage my sense, the baby.

Robert POV:

I can’t believe Cleo is pregnant and by a werewolf at that. I feel like s**t if I could have waited and supported her, maybe we would have children right now. Maybe she will be carrying our child right now. There is no way I am letting him have her. There has never been another woman for me ever. I don’t care if I have to wipe out the whole pack, she will be mine. And as for the child, I would happily raise it as mine and make it into the best weapon the Hunters Association ever had.

Just think of a werewolf on our side hunting other supernatural critters. I need to call a meeting and get a team together, I have to get my wife back. Come hell or high water, she will be mine again. I look at my phone and see the tracing device I downloaded on her phone while she was passed out. After my meeting, I place a man at Cleo's house to keep an eye on her and follow her when she leaves. I also have a man watching the pack land from afar. From what he tells me, a celebration is coming and, whatever it is, Cleo might be there. We also need numbers on how many pack members, how many pack warriors, and what are the best ways to get in.
