Chapter One
Marion didn't find it any easier with Cohra's words of encouragement as the yautja soldiers moved around them and started to spread out from the home of Drexel and Ragar to the outer reaches of the jungle to take care of the human soldiers that were more than likely already planning a counter attack from what had happened to two of their men so far that had come into the jungle and didn't emerge alive. She tried to tell herself that while the elder was not upset with Cohra for having chosen a human for a mate and that she was pregnant with an offspring that was of human and yautja DNA that everything was going to be okay, but she was still very troubled by the whole concept of her species being put in a position that they had to to submit to what they wanted or they would pay the price for their actions. It all seemed to be adding too much stress on herself and that wouldn't be good on her at the moment since she was with child and it would end up hurting her pregnancy if she allowed it to get to her too much.
She was relieved when her mate picked up on her current state of being and chose to excuse themselves to head back to their home deep in the jungle so they could rest and recover. While she wished to walk on her own, Marion found Cohra not allowing her to do that since the trip would be hard on her, especially with herself being pregnant, and he wasn't going to take any chances of her doing anything that would be bad to their unborn child or to herself. She reluctantly allowed him to have her to ride on his back like she had before and carry her up the steep slope side of the valley that two of his brothers resided in. Her eyes glanced back to find Raven comforting Bridget who was more than likely going through the same emotions she was when she was in formed by Cohra of what was to come for her kind in the coming days as the invasion would gradually span out from that little jungle area to encompass the entire world. The whole notion of the females of her species becoming reassigned to members of his species to join with them if they couldn't find mates on their own deeply troubled her.
The idea itself was one that she didn't want to entertain at all. It really upset her to think of them pretty much having the human males to work like slaves for the yautja while they work to have all of the human females for themselves since it was revealed that there were some of her kind who could become pregnant by a yautja when women several centuries ago were not able to breed with their kind. She wasn't sure what exactly changed since the last few hundred years that allowed her to be the first to conceive with a yautja, but it was due to this pregnancy that all of mankind was going to blame her for the war that was to come.
There was no question in her mind that a war would be on the horizon between the two species. Both would want supreme dominance over the land and neither one would allow the other to be on top without their being blood shed. She just wanted to live a happy and peaceful existence, not one that was going to be in an area with war all around herself. The idea was something she didn't even want to consider, but now had to because of the situation that Bridget and herself had put all of society in.
Reaching the top of the valley, her arms were still nestled around Cohra's neck as he begun to move them into the jungle without his shield up to keep them hidden. There wasn't a point to do that anymore since the jungle was filling up with yautja soldiers and they were going to be dealing with the humans in the area now. A soft sigh left her mouth as she let her head lean against the top of one of his shoulders. The gesture seemed to alarm Cohra as she found him letting out a short breath before he spoke up with concern in his voice from underneath his mask.
"I know that this is a lot to take in right now, Marion," he said, "but it will only hurt you to worry about it like you are right now."
"I can't help it, Cohra." Marion replied. Her voice had a sense of desperation and sadness in it as she spoke to him. "My pregnancy is going to cause a lot of blood to be shed and innocent lives to be lost. I didn't mean for this to happen."
"Marion, don't trouble yourself like this. It will not be good for you to be worried like this for the baby."
"But-"
"As I told you, do not worry with what the elder has decreed out. All we need to focus on right now is ourselves and making sure that our child arrives to this world healthy and safely."
She wanted to not be so worried about the things to come, but it couldn't be helped. Humankind was on the hit list of the yautja leadership and they either had to submit or they would be killed or punished for their actions. It would all be blamed on her when word reached the higher ups with the government back in the states that she was the cause for the invasion and than she herself would be on the list of america's most wanted for what she had done. It seemed like there was nothing for her to to do but to worry.
Another soft breath escaped her mouth as she buried her face into the crook of his neck and closed her eyes, hoping that the walk back to their home would ease her for the time being and allow her to take her focus away from all of the impending troubles heading for the two of them and just let herself enjoy the thought of becoming a mother and that she was going to be allowed to stay with Cohra without them facing any punishment from the elder for their inter-species relationship.
