Chapter 57

I sat against a tree and just kept writing away. I looked up to see Jax was walking toward me and the butterflies in my stomach began to act up. Someone who will forever understand me. He sat down on the ground in front of me and just looked at me with that dashing smile.

“You are glowing, you know that?”

I felt my cheeks get warm and suddenly I was blushing at that. I was happy. For the first time, I could say that I was happy and also excited about this war. Maybe we can have normal again. But then there was Jax. After we slept together, we had not discussed it or did anything about it, but he was my mate after all. I know it seemed like I was bouncing back and forth but I had another reason as to why I wanted to give this a chance.

“That’s what happens when you are growing a baby inside you.”

His face dropped in shock. That’s right, our one-night stand turned out to be the night we conceived. I was feeling awful yesterday and as soon as I vomited, I knew. He was speechless so he pointed at himself and then at my stomach. It just caused me to smile. He’s giving me a chance to be a mom again and we deserve a second chance. The only downfall was I couldn’t join the fight and I sure as hell won’t let Jax. We all know what happened in my vision and I won’t let that happen again. He reached for my hand and pulled me over to him before wrapping his arms around me.

“We’re having a baby.” I whispered into his ear.

This is why I let Alizac go once and for all. I had a chance to be a real family with my mate. But I wanted to keep this a secret until everything has passed. We had a lot to talk about because I also have to take care of hell too.

“Also, I think I know who my biological father is, and I don’t know how to tell him.”

I sat back and he rose his eyebrow.

“Okay, who?” He asked.

“Vincent. Athena’s true mate. My mom told me she had a one-night stand with him during the war, but she had never gotten the chance to tell him. I know he has a right to know but I am nervous.”

Jax stood up and extended his hand to me that I grabbed and stood up. I quickly dusted my butt off that had grass on it.

“Take over doesn’t start for a week, so I will drive us down to the Kangston pack and we will do it together. We can even tell them about our pup on the way.”

He placed a kiss on my cheek before leading me to the kingdom to get a travel bag to go. There were so many emotions, but stress was not one of them. He waited until I finished since I never knew what to wear but just stared at me.

“I can’t believe after over a century, I am going to be a father. You don’t realize how excited I am. We’ve had sex many of times but the time we both aren’t together and are in a drunken state, that’s when it happens.”

My feet moved closer to him and climbed onto his lap. We deserve a happy ending after everything we've been through.

“Now we can start our life together if you still want me.”

He brought me into a passionate kiss that made my inside tie into a knot. Only he would have this feeling on me ever since he was my mate. My one true mate.

“I will always want you, but we do have some things to discuss. Like our living situation, our communication, our duties since you are the queen of hell, so might as well discuss on our drive to the pack.”

I got up from his lap and went to my bag to zip it up.

“Then let's get a move on so we can talk.”

He had grabbed my bag while we walked downstairs but not before running into Alizac and Zane?

“Where are you two going?” He asked.

From the look on his face, he wasn’t so happy with me and that is okay but seeing Zane for the first time since I left was really hard. I knew he moved on with his mate that was brought back to life. He deserved that.

“We are going to the Kangston pack for a few days. I need to speak with Athena.” I responded.

But he was not buying it for some odd reason.

“Actually, we were coming up because we needed to talk to you about next week’s raid. So put it on hold because you’re going to be our secret weapon.”

I looked at Jax knowing this secret isn’t going to be secret anymore. I wanted to help but I won’t put my baby’s life at risk because they didn’t want to keep the peace.

“No can do Alizac because I am not fighting this war.”

I tried to speed past it, but he wouldn’t let it go. He started to bug and if I didn’t say this now then I will never hear the end of it.

“Okay fine! The reason why I won’t be fighting is that I am pregnant. Again.”

Alizac looked stunned and I think from his pale face that was from the fact that I think he thinks it’s his which isn’t the case. We had sex after my miscarriage only a few times and the doctor said I was about three weeks along.

“Don’t worry, you're not the father. Jax is.”

But now he only seems disappointed that it wasn’t, but I don't care.
