His Blue Moon Princess
His Sunshine Baby Chapter 62

The bottle of wine drops and breaks at my feet. I don't even care. I'm staring at Sylviana, still unable to process what she just said. I blink a couple of times. I try to breathe.

"Sorry, you... said... what?"

"You're pregnant, Elena."

Moon Goddess, no, no. I smile nervously, but there's nothing joyous about it. I shake my head, unable to hear it. She's wrong, she's got to be wrong. It can't be. How would she even know? I see Daniel, next to her, in the same state as me, his eyes going left and right between Sylviana and me.

"I'm not preg... I'm not," I just utter.

"I'm sure. You are definitely pregnant."

"I'm not pregnant!" I yell.

I feel the tears before they even come out. My crying gets intense, erratic, loud. Daniel almost runs to me to try and help me calm down.

"Hey, Babe, calm down, calm down..."

"I'm not pregnant, Danny, it can't be, I'm..."

How could I be pregnant? I lost a baby before! I don't even know if I can have another baby! I don't feel pregnant at all, I don't even know what I'm supposed to feel!

Daniel hugs me, patting my back and holding me against him.

"Danny, I can't..."

"It's okay, Babe, I'm here, I'm here. Breathe. Calm down, Elena, it's okay, Babe. It's okay..."

It takes a while for me to actually calm down. I cry, a lot. Because it's too sudden, because I don't, I can't hear about a pregnancy now. I'm not ready at all. I just freaking parted with Nathaniel! How can I be pregnant now...

I listen to Danny's voice for a while, trying to take deep breaths and calm down my weeping. I ruined his shirt with my tears and snot, and Moon Goddess I don't care. Danny holds me for a long time, caressing my hair, soothing me until I can sit down and breathe without choking up.

I look at Sylviana, almost mad at her for telling me right now. I don't even know if she's right, and I'm not sure I want to confirm it...

"Syl, are you sure?" Asks Danny.

She nods.

"If a witch says you're expecting, you are, Elena. You're about ten... no, almost eleven weeks."

"Eleven weeks!"

That's more than 3 months! Moon Goddess, I can't have been that pregnant and not noticed a thing, it's not possible! I can't possibly... "Babe, when was your last period?" Asks Daniel.

I glare at him. Really, now? But I still sigh and make the effort to try and remember.

"Probably... When Nate came over... And made me pizza."

"Elena, that was in September, 3 months ago! Are you kidding me?"

"You know my period is irregular! And with everything that's been going on, I just didn't... Pay attention to that."

"That's the kind of thing you're supposed to pay attention to, Babe. Especially if you have s*x with you-know-who!"

I sigh. I know, it was stupid of me to not check earlier about my period! I turn to Sylviana, trying to understand.

"I'm on the pill, how can it..."

"Pills are not completely effective, especially on Alpha werewolves, Elena. I wouldn't rely on it for contraception, in your case. Well, you have proof now."

My gosh, I don't know if I want to scream or slam something. The worse thing is, I'm pretty sure I might actually have forgotten the pill a couple of times back when I was living with Nate. No way I'm letting Danny know about that, though.

I can't believe this is really happening... Moon Goddess, if I really am pregnant with Nate's baby...

"Daniel, I need to check. I'm sorry Sylviana, I'm not saying you're lying, but..."

"It's all right, I understand," she says with a soft smile.

"I can call the clinic, I..." Says Danny, grabbing his phone.

"Daniel, I'm pregnant with Nathaniel Black's baby! I can't just walk in the White Moon Clan's Clinic, everyone will wonder what the hell I'm doing at ob-gyn!"

Moon Goddess, Xavier and Clark will kill me if they know... Daniel nods.

"It's all right, we can ask Iris and mom to help, they both work there and we can trust them, okay?"

"Okay..."

He sighs and turns to Sylviana.

"Girl, you can't drop bombs like that."

"Daniel, three months and a half. I thought she knew."

She does look a bit sorry, but honestly, I don't really care about being mad at her right now. I'm still in shock.

Nate's baby. I might be pregnant with Nathaniel's baby... I turn to Sylviana, a bit intrigued. Without thinking about it, I already have a hand on my tummy. "How can you know?"

"I told you, it's a witch thing. We are good midwives. Actually, I can tell you more if you want to hear it." "More?"

"Your baby's health, the gender..."

What the heck, she can already tell my baby's gender? He or she is only 11 weeks old! Does it even have a gender yet at that stage? I sigh and go back to sit. Actually, I forgot about that stupid wine I spilled on the floor, but Danny is already taking care of it. Moon Goddess I love my best friend. "I want to know!" Says Danny from the kitchen.

Sylviana smiles to him, but I know she's waiting for me. My gosh, I barely can believe I'm having a baby right now, do I really want the specifics? Moon Goddess, I can feel my wolf is anxious for her pup and urges me to ask the witch. Is that why she wasn't allowing me to shape-shift lately? Because she knew by instinct?

I nod.

"All right, well, first, you're expecting a girl. But Elena, you have to know, irregular periods are a sign of a weak uterus. Your chances of miscarriage are..."

Oh Moon Goddess, no. I turn to Daniel, but he already knows. I'm not losing another baby, again. And certainly not Nate's baby. No f*****g way.

"Don't worry Elena, I'll help you out. You want this baby, don't you?"

I slowly nod. I know I already love this baby of mine, even if I say I don't really believe Sylviana's words yet... Moon Goddess, there better be a child in there. I'll break that witch's neck if she gives me false hopes like that.

"No more caffeine, alcohol or shape-shifting for you. Only lots of rests, and no stress, Elena."

That's going to be hard...

And how will I hide my pregnancy? If the pack members don't see me shape-shifting for training and all people will start asking questions. Moreover, how do I even hide a pregnancy at all? I mean, there's about 5 months of tummy growing left, and after that, I supposedly will have a whole baby! I turn to Danny, a bit panicked. "Danny, if anyone knows who the dad is...

"I know. It's okay, we'll come up with something.... But you're going to tell him, right?"

Tell him... Oh, Moon Goddess I didn't even think about that! Damn, how will I even tell Nate? The timing couldn't be worse! Hey, I know we fought about you having a mistress in my back but guess what? I'm pregnant with your baby! Oh, damn...

I have no idea how he will react. And there's the King, too! Holy crap, what did I get myself into now... I sigh, and Sylviana pushes my cup of tea in front of me with a warm smile.

"I guess that means lemon tea is fine?"

"It is."

I sigh and grab my cup, getting the hot drink down my throat. The lemon helps me calm down a bit, but this is a drop in the ocean. Danny just finished cleaning my mess and is back, sitting next to me again. "Babe, we got another problem."

"I know."

Diego.

If that butthole knows about me being pregnant, I have no idea what he'll do, but that's going to be bad. He is the last person I want to know about my child... my daughter. I get the chills just thinking about it. Remembering how I lost Angel... No way I'm losing another baby. I wouldn't survive this pain a second time.

Moon Goddess, that's a lot to think...

"So, we need to hide the real father from the pack, and ideally, hid this pregnancy the longest possible before your ex goes nuts. All that added to our secret meeting with Nora."

"I can help for that," said Sylviana.

I turn to her intrigued.

"Nora? You know her?"

"Not yet, she says with a smile. But I know someone... On the inside."

"So do we," sighs Danny. "I mean if we can persuade Bobo..."

"Nora's birthday is coming up the day after tomorrow," says Sylviana. "They will most likely take her out at that time."

"Okay, so we know when to strike! You can mind-harass my boyfriend to know where, Elena."

I nod. Seems like we are getting somewhere, after all.

I look down at my uncle still laying there.

"What do we do about him?" I sigh. "I don't want to continue where we left off, to be honest."

"It's fine, I'll just have him forget what happened and go home. He'll be confused for a while but at least he will leave you alone."

"Great. Daniel Lewis, if you have other witches friends I need to know about, you better tell me now."

He chuckles.

"Sorry, babe..."

We actually waited for another half an hour for my uncle to wake up. As Sylviana said, he was very confused, almost like he was drunk, and left without complaints or any memory of why he had come here for.

Good grief, I can use one less thing to worry about. Sylviana actually leaves right after him, though I apparently can ask her out anytime if I need to. Looks like I got a midwife out of the blue... It's late when I'm finally alone with Danny.

I'm exhausted. I just went to sleep and forget about how complicated my life has become for a while...

Danny comes to sit beside me, putting my legs on his. He smiles at me.

"...What?"

"You're having a baby."

I nod, still kind of in a weird state from hearing that.

"I still want to confirm, Danny."

"I know. But, I believe Sylviana. She's weird but she's great."

"So I can say she's weird now?"

"You know what I mean. She's the witchy kind of weird. It's cool."

We both laugh a bit, more to release all the nervousness than really from anything fun. It's been a freaking weird day today.

"So many things happened today," I sigh. "And now it turns out I'm pregnant with that jerk's baby..."

"You have to tell him, Elena. I know you still love him, too."

I glare at him. Why does Danny have to be so good at reading my emotions?

Yes, I won't ever say it, but I do love Nate... despite him being a two-timing jackass. I still have such vivid memories of that woman, on his doorstep. f**k him... I sigh and think about my child, our child. Damn, someone is going to get a rough wake-up call. "I want to wait. Until I get medical confirmation, Danny."

"Okay. I'll talk to mom tomorrow, okay? I'm sure she can help us check your condition in secret or something like that."

"She's going to ask who the father is. Iris, too."

Daniel nods and seems to think about it for a few seconds.

"My mom won't believe us if we tell her it's Levi, but I think she won't push it if you just tell her you don't want to speak about it. She's good with people's privacy. And Iris... Well, we'll see if she asks, okay?"

"Iris will think Levi is the father, Danny. I've been pretending to date him for three months, everyone is going to think that the baby's his. I can't push that onto your brother..."

"You know what? Let's invite Levi for breakfast tomorrow morning and let him know first, okay? This way, he can voice his opinion, and we can discuss a plan together. But I doubt anyone else's going to notice before a while, Elena. You're not showing and you always wear huge clothes. I'm your best friend and even I didn't get a clue. I mean, the coffee part was suspicious, but..."

"Your coffee really is disgusting, Danny!"

"Yeah, whatever, you're banned from drinking it for five months anyway so shut up about my coffee. Just concentrate on harassing my boyfriend so we can get some time with Nora in two days while I call my family."

He grabs his phone and calls the Lewis family house, while I resume trying to mind-link Boyan again. It's not easy, he's super far... And it's much harder to mindlink a Beta. It's like trying to replace someone whispering in the middle of the crowd.

As usual, Daniel chats about trivial stuff with his mother, and I have plenty of time to think about random stuff while trying to contact his boyfriend. Seriously, I wish Bobo carried his own phone for once... Meanwhile, I can't help but have my mind wandering somewhere else.

In my tummy, to be precise. A baby. I can't believe I'm really pregnant with Nate's baby... This is so unreal. I didn't even dare to hope I could ever get pregnant again, after what had happened with Diego. The doctors had told me my miscarriage had reduced my chances to ever conceive again drastically... And with the grief of losing my unborn child, I just never processed the thought of ever becoming a mother again.

My wolf is in protective mode. She doesn't want to lose her pup... She already knew, and I had no idea. This is so strange. No wonder she hated for me to shapeshift. I take a second and a deep breath. I need to be careful. I can't lose this baby, my baby. No matter what I'll protect him... I mean, her. Even if my Clan disapproves, or Nate is against me having his child. I already know I don't care.

My child comes first.
