Chapter 60

Katherine:

I put my hand on my stomach as I walked away, ignoring the fear that I felt in my chest. whenever that woman looked at me.

Flashback:

I watched as they turned the screen off, and I couldn’t help but frown when I saw that the smile on the doctor’s face faded.

“What is going on?” I asked, shaking my head in question. “Why did you…?”

“Do you really think that you’re pregnant, Katherine?” She, Natalia asked, shaking her head at me. “We are going to end up losing a lot more than we can afford for you. You already cost…

“What?” I asked, stopping the woman.

“We know that you are on the verge of losing your marriage, and the idea that you still hold the secret of that bastard son of yours…”

“Do not call my son a bastard!” I snapped, glaring at the woman. She shook her head at me, and I waited for what she was going to say. Her eyes were fixed on mine, and I waited for what she was going say, expecting her to insult me more than she already was.

“We have a nursing mother. She is with child, and the ultrasound that you saw are her children. She doesn’t want them, and they are of Alpha blood. The woman would be lucky if she managed to give birth without dying actually. She is human.” She said, explaining the situation.

“Does she know that I…?”

“She knows that thee is a potential mother. She claimed to want to get rid of the children. I asked her not to. I don’t know whether or not she would make it during her labor. She doesn’t know that.” Natalia said, and I took a deep breath. “You have the option to say yes or no. But the children are going to be born.”

11:38 “The same man who got you pregnant in the first place.” She said, making my eyes harden. I went to get up, but her next words were what caught me off guard as they were the last thing that I thought that I would hear. “And he was the one who suggested you in the first place…”

End of Flashback.

I sat on the edge of the bed as I got lost in my thoughts. I didn’t even know how I was going to manage things, and if I was here, there was no way for me to be able to fake this. Enzo wasn’t dumb, and I wasn’t the type to ‘hide‘ from him when changing. He would suspect it if I did. Plus, it was only a matter of time before Alaria realized that there was no baby, and if she let him know. If he chose to want to be there during my further stages…

“What kind of mess did you throw yourself into, Katherine?” I muttered to myself.

At this point, I didn’t even know where things were ing between Enzo and I. Even the news behind my ‘pregnancy‘ didn’t seem to interest him. If that was the case, then I feared the outcome of this.

“Mama?” Alonso’s voice broke my train of thoughts. I looked up at him just as he walked toward me.

His hand brushed over my face, and I couldn’t help but frown in confusion before I realized that he was wiping my tears.

“Why are you crying, mama?” He asked, his voice softening as he spoke. I looked down at him, and I shook my head. He was the one person that I knew was mine. I could lose everything, but I knew that he was MY baby.

“I am not crying, baby, Mama is just very tired, and you know when mama’s eyes hurt, they start watering.” I said, not wanting him to weaken. It was bad enough that I was leaving him to Alaria’s care.

The woman was proving to be the better mother to him. Something that I knew that I wouldn’t be able to compete with. “You didn’t tell me, how did you feel about knowing about the twins?”

He smiled and sat on the edge of the bed beside me. It’s been a very long time since I’ve spoken to him. The two of us used to do that a lot before we came here. I missed the peace SEMANA OURO 11/03 A 31/03/2018 OX APROVEITE Emergency calls only that we had before then..

“I am going to be a big brother.” He said, and I smiled. “I mean, I am one already. Ashton is my little brother, but it is different now. I am going to be a very big brother.”

I laughed, and he smiled.

“This is the first time that I’ve heard the sentence, very big brother.” I said, and he laughed at himself. I wrapped my arm around him, pulling him to sit on my lap. “You know that mama loves you a lot, right?”

“Of course, mama.” He said, and I smiled, brushing my hand over his check. Whatever Jacob was after right now, I was going to be sure that he didn’t approach my son.

“And you know that mama is going to do everything that she can to protect you.” I said, and he nodded, studying my expression as he tried figuring out what I was saying. I cupped his cheek and kissed his forehead.

“Is everything alright, mama?” He asked, and I nodded. I hated to admit it, but Alaria was doing a good job with being the parent that I could never be. But I knew that if I was going to make things work, then I was going to have to distance myself a bit. At least, for his own safety too.

“Mama missed you a lot,” I said, wrapping my arms around him, hugging him tightly. “I missed spending time with you so much.”

He wrapped his arms around me, hugging me tightly, and I hugged him back, inhaling his scent.

We’ll see what you’re up to Jacob.

Only then would I decide on my own next move…
