OCTAVIA POV
" Eren watch your tone, I am still your mother" Mom repraments with a distasteful
" Then act like one" Eren says bitterly, and I curse.
This isn't how I expected this conversation to go.
Eren angering his mom like this doesn't vote well for me at all. At this rate mom wouldn't get her kidney transplant anytime soon.
" Eren enough" I yell equally angry "I have heard enough" I add and can see a wave of confusion all over his face. I am guessing he must be shocked that eventhough he is fighting for my rights, and I am against him.
" Yes Octavia, talk some sense into that boy you call a husband. It seems like him impregnating your is messing with his brain" Mom says once more, arrogantly as possible.
I look up at Eren and can see that he has something to say, so I quickly helds his hand in mind to restrain him.
" Please babe, no more" I beseech him in a whisper that only he can hear.
" I will talk to him, mom. Babe let's go" I command grabbing hold of his hand, to which he does object.
" I am sorry about this " I add before we walk down to my room.
" What was the meaning of that?" He ask with a displeasing frown when we enter my room
" I should be asking you. Why were you agrueing with your mom?" I ask equally angry
" I was defending you. You should be happy" He says bitter
" I should be happy that you are fighting your mom for me. Do you really think that is what I need at this point in my life?" I ask and he stands there speechless.
" Babe, my mom is sick. I am pregnant. Half of this pack hates me. I don't need anymore internal enemies" I explain holding his hand in mind, such that we are facing each other.
" I am sorry muse. I was just angry. You know how protective I am over you, right?" He ask with a frown
" I know babe, and I love that about you" I confess wrapping my arms around his neck " Please don't fight with mom again, ok"
" Fine, I wouldn't. I will apologize to her later" He informs as he wraps his arms around my waist, consequently pulling me closer.
" That's what I like to hear" I inform with a smile " Have I ever told you, I like the pet name "muse"?"
" Not really" He says simply
" Well, I love it" I confess with a kiss "And I love you"
" I love you more than you can imagine" He confesses with a smile, as he carries me bridal style to the bed. He then carefully places me on my back and goes further to place his head on my abdomen.
" What are you doing babe?" I ask nonplussed at the tinkling feeling of his hair against my silk dress.
" shhh!!!! I am trying to hear the baby's heartbeat" He says the most ridiculous thing and I burst into laughter.
" What is funny?" He ask confused
" The fact that you think you could hear a fetus's heartbreak. It's way too small. I doubt it has a heartbeat now" I inform laughing
" Really. I didn't know that" He informs in shame as he lays next to me. We remain in a silence for long before he ask the most unexpected question.
" When next can I make love to you now that three of us" He ask as he gently rubs my tummy.
"Anytime babe. I am especially craving for you right now as we speak" I confess sincerely, leaning in for a kiss. There has been this sensation hovering in between my legs for a while now.
" Stop joking with things like this" He says angry as he pulls away from me "You know we can't have s*x with the kid in there" He says lowering his tone around the "s*x" word.
" Why not?" I ask confused
" You don't expect the kid feel comfortable with me in there, plus what can of example will we be setting for him or her" He says angrily and the only thing I can do is laugh.
" Oh my gosh you know nothing about pregnancy, do you?" I ask laughing not expecting an answer
" You know what I will explain things to you later I need to go get breakfast first" I lie, truth be told I am just looking for an opportunity to go talk to Luna Lora.
" I will go get for you. What would you like?" He happily offers
" No thank you. I can handle myself, besides I have never seen you in the kitchen before. What could you possibly do there?" I ask nonplussed, in all my years of working in this mansion not once have I seen him venture into the kitchen for any reason.
" Make you breakfast for you and my baby, of course" He says with a proud smile.
Eren, cook....
Someone who can't even put on a stove to save his life.
This is going to be interesting to watch.
I must confess this man is all sort of funny today.
" In that case I want some French pancakes, omelettes, and orange juice" I inform simply, on a normal day I would have loved to drag the conversation but I have more urgent issues to attend to.
" Coming right up" He says with a smile as he plants a kiss on my forehead and another on my tummy
" I love you and I love you more" He says, the second part to our unborn child.
" You love her more, than me your wife?" I ask with a frown.
Something about that statement annoys the hell out of me for some reason.
How dare him say that to me, I am carrying his child for christ sake.
" I am just kidding. You know I love you more. I am just cajoling her. Do be angry. I am sorry" He says, planting a path of kisses down my cheek "I love you... I love you.... I love you"
" Fine... fine... fine.... You are forgiven. Now go make my breakfast before I get mad again" tease him
" Right away boss" He jokes before hurrying out.
With him out of the way. It was finally time to put my plans in motion.
I quickly sneak out of my bedroom, only to bump into Nadia in the hallway.
" Oh!!! Nadia it's you. You startled me" I confess sincerely
" Sorry about that. I came to congratulate you, on your pregnancy" She says with a smile that doesn't reach her eyes.
She is trying to pretend to be happy for me, but I know she's miserable deep down, after all I am pregnant for her ex.
" I was going to tell you. I don't want you to be mad, considering your history with Eren" I explain in a somewhat apologetic manner
" I am not mad, if anything I am happy for you. You're going to be a mom, that's huge" She says with a smile, holding my hands in hers.
" Are you sure?" I ask doubtful.
" Affirmative" She assures
" Thank you so much. That means alot to me" I gratify with a hug. Nadia is my only friend, hence her opinion means the world to me
" And this means alot to me. I am going to be a God mother. I am your child's Godmother, aren't I?" She ask in doubt.
" Of course" I say with a happy nod
" Yes!!!. I am going to be the Godmother of an alpha. I am so happy, and I am even more happy for you. Having a kid for Eren will definitely establish your post as Luna" She explains with great excitement.
" I don't care about being Luna, Nadia. I just want to be a mom" I confess sincerely, status means nothing to me. All I want is a happy family.
" Status should be important to you, because at some point it's the only thing that is going to keep you and Eren together. Everybody know how much Eren loves kids, there are even speculations that he might dump you ones the kids are born" She jokes, although it's more annoying than funny.
" What do you mean by he might divorce me" I ask confused
" It's just a rumor. Some people say Eren only wanted a baby with you that's why your relationship began the way it did " She says referring to the rape incident a couple of weeks ago.
In all honesty, her words scares me because I fear they might be true. This is not the right time I have heard something like this from a servant.
They say Eren can do anything for a child, even sacrifice his life.
" Don't be worried. I am sure Eren loves you. He did marry you after all" She assures me with a smile.
Indeed she was right, Eren has never been in a relationship with any other woman talkless of marriage.
He must sincerely love me to have married me.
" You are right...." I confess before Luna Lora's voice echoes from a distance
" Octavia. A word" She says with an expressionless demeanor
" I will excuse you two" Nadia excuse herself
" Mom, I was just about to come see you. I am so sorry about Eren's behavior......" I start explaining but she cuts in
" Enough with that. The hospital called your mother went unconscious" She informs nonchalantly as though this was all some sick joke to her.
" What???. What happened???. Is she going to be fine???. I should go see her, right??? " I ask ramharzardly in a panic
" Oh, calm down. She is not going to die, cause I am going to help her. I will have here operation carried out tonight" She informs simply.
Her words hitting me like a wave of ecstasy, and I am involuntary moved to tears.
" Thank you so much mom. I promise I would do everything you want. God will bless you. The moon goddess will fulfill all your heart desires" I gratify on my knees in tears.
" I don't want any of those. What I want is simple. You are going to abort the baby if it's not a boy, and keep trying till you produce an heir. Is that understood?" She ask arrogantly as she looks down at me with disgust.
At this point, I am all out of choices it's either I agree to abort my baby or I lose my mother.
" Understood mother. I will abort the baby, if it's a girl" I inform as I pull myself to my feet.
" Good, now remember Eren must have no knowledge of this. If you must abort the baby, it must look like it's your idea" She commands.
