novelThey Want To Be Let Out
| ← Ch.299 | Ch.301 → |
"No, mom, you can't kill him, he's the father of my child!" Lia pleaded for the nth time already. Does this woman want to make her a half-widow -Since she technically still has Asher.
Jenny's eyes were red with anger, veins were protruding from her neck. That bastard had dared to impregnate her daughter amid her warning, today would be the day he dies.
Daniel thought she had given up when he felt a punch on his face and a kick in his groin.
"Sweet Jesus, " Daniel gave out a stifled cry. Gosh, it was so damn painful!
"I might not be able to kill you but I can do that at least, " Jenny heaved, then turned to Asher.
"I'm innocent, I have not touched her at all, " Asher was quick to raise his hand in surrender.
Daniel frowned at him yet didn't say anything. It was already crazy enough that Lia had gotten pregnant in one day, not to talk of when Jenny hears they did some sort of body linking and blah blah.
Jenny paced up and down the room, threading her hand into her hair out of frustration, she stopped to face Daniel who was still recovering from the pain, asking, "How is this possible? My daughter's stomach wasn't this size yesterday, tell me what you did to my daughter!" She yelled at him.
"I don't know! I'm as confused as you are. We only had sex!"
"Yeah, explain that sex that put my daughter in this outrageous situation. How can someone be pregnant in one day? That is hilarious..." She threw her hair back and laughed hysterically which made Trevour wonder if his mom had finally lost it.
He quietly sneaked to the side unnoticed and snatched the gun that she had left on her seat when Daniel and Asher honored their death invitation.
"Calm down, Mrs. Jenny. We are going to sort this out, " Asher assured her.
"We? Sort this out? How?!" She shrieked, stunning even Rex who had made himself invisible by the side.
"Lia says she's hungry, " Ben announced.
While others were there, suffering the consequences of their actions and trying to calm the furious Jenny down, Ben was here taking care of Lia.
"Don't worry kids, uncle here would protect you, " Ben affectionately rubbed her stomach which had increased from its former side.
"I'm having one child, not two, " Lia told him.
Ben scoffed, "Werewolves give birth to litters, not one, " He reminded her.
Lia's eyes widened, "Well, I can't have more than one child. I'm too young to be a mother, talk more two!" She barked at him.
"Seriously, chill! Why are you yelling at me, I'm not the one who impregnated you, there's the father over there! Go yell his head off!" Ben was vexed.
To Ben's greatest surprise, Lia began to cry. What the hell.
"Not you two, Ben. Tell me you don't hate me too, "
He was confused, "Why would I hate you? Lia, you're my best friend, " Ben added, "And why are you even crying?"
"I don't know, you tell me, why am I crying?" she questioned him with all seriousness.
"Well, I-I..." he stuttered.
"Where's my goddamned food?!" yelled Lia who had been crying moments ago.
Ben's mouth hung open, what the hell? Pregnant women were scary. Was this the doing of pregnancy hormones? If that was the case, he would rather become a bachelor forever.
"While you keep on arguing back and forth, your daughter needs me, " Asher said, trying to dismiss himself from the nagging Jenny.
"Don't tell me you're about to feed my daughter blood?" Jenny was disgusted, yet there was a trace of fear in her eyes.
"That's her diet and you don't have to worry, it's not human's, " the vampire tore away from her grasp, walking over to his mate.
"Hey, " Asher sat beside her, the spot Ben had given up, joyfully.
"Asher, I'm so sorry, " Lia began to weep once again.
"No, it's not your fault, " He hugged her.
Truth be told, Asher had been jealous when he received the call from Trevor informing him that Lia was pregnant - no matter how bizarre it sounded. Asher wasn't sure if he would have a child with Lia but they hadn't tried to know. Still yet, he was envious of Daniel; he had everything now.
However, just because the child wasn't his doesn't mean he wouldn't be with her in her time of distress. He loved her and would do anything for her.
"Why do you smell so good?" Lia sniffed his neck.
"Because you're hungry, " Asher answered, stretching out his wrist for her to take.
There was a questioning look on Lia's face but when she saw the assurance in his eyes, took his wrist into her mouth, and began to suck the delicious blood.
Jenny didn't know how to feel at that scene; her daughter was drinking vampire blood, not even human. Was it a relief that her daughter didn't have to kill a human for blood or a creepier phenomenon that she wasn't like the average vampire?
Asher winced from her rough gluttonous feeding, she drank like a vampire starved for centuries. Though he had replenished himself after her feeding yesterday, he might desiccate if she continues at this rate.
It finally made sense to Asher why she was starved yesterday, the child needed food to replenish and so far, seems to be a hybrid hence the need for blood, or maybe the child just liked the mother's diet - Pregnant women were weird anyway.
"I'm full, " Asher was highly relieved when she released him.
Immediately, a portal opened in the room, Sabrina and Dan emerged from it.
"Holy mother of God, " Sabrina was astounded at the scene, "You weren't kidding at all. Well, I'm surprised anymore with Lia's involved, " she mumbled.
"You brought that witch into my house?" Jenny pointed at Sabrina.
"She's going to check if something's wrong with the baby, " Daniel told her.
"No way she's going near my daughter, " she shook her head stubbornly, "What Lia needs is a hospital, "
"We can't take her to a hospital, " Sabrina refused, "Most of the town folks knows Lia, they would question how she got pregnant all of a sudden, "
"We would work something out, come up with a believable lie or something, " Said Jenny.
"Come up with a lie for this?" Sabrina pointed to Lia's large stomach, "She's in her third trimester already, how are you going to explain that?"
"Oww, " Lia moaned in pain, ending the argument by drawing everyone's attention to her. Daniel ran to her side.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Daniel pushed her hair away from her face.
"The baby's kicking me.. Oww " Lia moaned, "Why does it feel like he's having a war or something down there?"
"War?" Confusion filled Daniel's face. He had no idea what to do, anxiety-filled him.
Meanwhile, Asher who was rubbing his chin thoughtfully ordered his henchman, "Dan, try reading the baby's thought, "
"Do you think that's possible?" Daniel asked Asher.
"We won't know until we try, "
"Alright, " Dan agreed, going over to the bed as Daniel made space for him to sit, he placed his hand on Lia's belly.
For a while, the look on Dan's face was impassive until a smile curved his lips. He said to Lia in particular, " This ain't a joke, they're having a war down there, "
"They?" Daniel noted.
Dan smirked at him, "You've got a handful, Daniel. Congratulations, you're having triplets, "
"What?!" Everyone was dumbfounded - Lia included.
"Wonderful, " Jenny lost consciousness.
"Mom, " Trevor caught her.
"This is the best day ever, " Ben was delighted at the scene and news.
Daniel didn't know how to feel, he was going to be the father of three pups. Lia was giving birth to a litter of three pups? That was going to be a first in their pack and a cause for celebration.
"Do you know what they're talking about?" Daniel was curious to know about his kid.
"They're arguing about who's more handsome? Beautiful? It seems their gender is mixed, " Dan muttered with his brows drawn, focused on the childish chattering in his head.
"I don't know how you're able to comprehend baby language, but while they argue, can you please tell them to please calm down. They're killing me!" Lia groaned out her frustration. Sweat covered her forehead and she was so damn uncomfortable that she fidgeted about on the bed, searching for a suitable posture to relax.
"Alright, I would try but there's no guarantee that they're... Ouch! " Dan withdrew his hand from her stomach abruptly.
"What is it?"
Everyone was alarmed.
Dan simply lifted his hand, showing them the contour of a little palm imprinted on his own palm, "I think one of them just said hello, "
"She's carrying hybrids with powers? " Sabrina was blown out of her mind.
"It's not surprising, she's a Nicolli. Lia was turned by Gideon, hence belongs to our clan, " Asher stated.
"This confirms we can't go to a hospital. We don't know what powers they possess - destructive or not- or if it would manifest during their birth and the damage it would cause. There are just too many things we don't know and we can't risk that, " Sabrina pointed out.
"This is a huge situation, we can't risk her being discovered by the council either, " Asher added.
"If we can -"
"I think I just peed on myself, " Lia looked down at the mess she was sitting with a grimace.
"I don't think she just peed, " Sabrina was filled with dread, "I think her water just broke. The children want to be let out, "
