I sat beside the bed, holding Aria's hand gently
Her chest was moving up and down steadily
Then her lashes flicked and I sat up immediately.
"Aria?" I called her name softly, resting a hand over her forehead
She looked past me for a while like she was still trying to access where she was
"Aria can you hear me?"
"Where am I?" She asked slowly, looking around. "What happened to me? What are you doing here?"
"Hey it's okay," I said. "Don't stress it."
I didn't know what to tell her or how to explain what had happened. And she's just gotten out of a coma
Just then, one of the doctors assisting Doctor Kira walked in
Her eyes lit up when she saw Aria
"Alpha," she greeted and I nodded. "When did she wake?"
"Just a few seconds ago," I told her. "I was about to send for someone."
"Good thing I came right in time," she said. "I will just check her vitals right now."
The doctor moved closer with a stethoscope.
"My queen, how do you feel?" She asked Aria, who only looked at her.
The doctor went on with the checks while I squeezed Ari's hands gently
Then I noticed the doctor's expression changed from a squeezed concentration to confusion
"Is everything alright?" I asked her.
She straightened up fully her look getting me Impatient as I waited for her to say something
"Please give me a while, I will be right back," she said instead and walked out hurriedly
I was confused and wondered what the problem could be. But I had to hold myself so Aria wouldn't panic.
After a while, the doctor returned with another doctor, a male and he checked Aria using a device
He had the same look on his face as the first doctor. And while I waited for them to say something, they walked out again then more people came in
Doctors and nurses
"Can someone tell me what exactly is going on?" I was running out of patience.
"Alpha, can I see you for a moment?" The first doctor said and I hesitated for a while, then checked Aria to be sure she was fine before walking out with the doctor
They had better not give me any more bad news. I have heard enough
What is it going to be now? The accident that they couldn't tell me how it happened had affected her womb, and Aria will not be able to have children in the future?
She'd never forgive me if that happened to her
I really didn't do anything wrong but somehow I feel like I was involved in it all
"I don't know how this is happening but we are still able to pick a life that is still growing in the Luna," she said and I squinted my eyes
"What? Are you sure about this?"
"Yes as a matter of fact, we are talking about two lives."
I was trying to process what she just said
Aria is still pregnant, with two babies
"But you all told me she's lost the baby. That there was nothing you could do you tried all you could do."
"Believe me Alpha, we all are shocked as you are. This can only be a miracle. There is no way we can prove this medically or scientifically. It has to be the gods. This is divine."
Divine...
I didn't know what to say anymore
It was good news, but it was almost too good to be true.
I was about to return to the room when Natasha walked up to me with a look of concern on her face
"What is wrong, Alpha?" she asked. "I just saw the doctor and nurses rushing into Aria's room and now the look on your face. Did something happen to her?"
"Uhm, not really," I said. "They just found out she is still with child."
I said as if I was still trying to believe the words myself. Natahsa's face squeezed in confusion
"Are you sure about this Alpha?" She asked.
"That was what they just told me," I told her. "Even I don't have an explanation for that."
"But it's not possible," her tone was a little too strong and I looked at her. "I mean uhm, how possible is that? They said she lost the baby. They said she lost so much blood."
"Does it matter what they say anymore?" I said. "This is supposed to be good news... somehow."
"But it is not ordinary. How can it be?"
I did not reply. Well, I had no answers. Even I was confused. But I felt some relief
Aria was fine, and the pregnancy was intact. That indeed was good news. How did that happen? Even the doctors could not explain it.
But Natasha seemed to be having a very difficult time coming to terms with that
I couldn't blame her really. Logically we'd question every ounce of that
But I was so grateful for whatever divine intervention that happened I didn't want to question it
What it would be if things didn't turn out this way, I don't know.
All our plans would have gone down the hill.
And even...my relationship with Aria.
I did not know what to name it at this point but it was something special. Aria understood me in ways only Elena ever did
And she filled up the spaces I thought no one else would. Suddenly, her presence lit up my life. I wanted to enjoy every bit of it but I was afraid it would ruin things. I knew these would not last forever.
That was our agreement. I didn't even know if I was relieved about this because of my desire for revenge on Marcus or because I cared about her or both.
And no matter how hard I try to act like I didn't care about it, the more I wanted it, her just being around me
And it took this whole experience for me to finally accept it the hard way
I wouldn't want it slipping out of my hands ever again
