PROLOGUE
KATY
Crap! Daemon will freak out! Damn,i'm freaking out beacuse he'll freak out! This cannot be happening.I held the stick in my hand and i was just starring at the two lines like an idiot.
"Holy baby aliens!"
OK..this was literally the most ironic thing that i could say right now. My hands were trembling.
I mean, i liked taking care of baby Ash,she was cute,even if she could destroy the freaking world by accident!
"Ok..these thoughts are not helping my current situation" Great..i was talking to myself out loud now.
I got out of the bathroom and changed my clothes. I needed to go for a run. I put on some trousers and a t-shirt and went out the door. The weather is really nice,so i could really avoid Daemon probably until midnight or so.I know it is not the "grown-up" thing to do,but i don't really care about being a grown-up right now.
I was back at our apartment after two hours of wandering around and asking myself how to break..the good news?Were they good news?I mean i wanted children and with no one other than my way-too-recent-to-have-a-kid-with husband,but..now?So soon?
I had to tell him. It's the right thing to do.
When i walked in i could hear the shower .I don't have to deal with this right this second. Maybe not today. Next week? No.I am no coward. The mental battle was driving me insane,i should just tell him,spit it out already!
"Shit!"
"Kitten,are you ok?"
Daemon must have got out of the bathroom while i was having the conversation of the year with myself. He was wearing a towel around his waist and his hair was still wet. No! His body was the reason that i was in this crap in the first place,it is his fault! Well..it takes two if you think about it..shit!
"Uh-uh"
He didn't look too confident about figure,i was on the edge of hyperventilating.
"Kat" he was becoming serious "What's wrong? Did something happen?" In a nanosecond his whole body stiffened "Are you hurt?"
"What?" Crap,he worries more than he should "No Daemon..i'm just..not feeling too well"
"Are you sick?" His face softened,but the worry was still in his eyes.
I stood up while i was trying to face him.
"I'm..we're.." i could not say it. What the hell is wrong with me?
He was just standing there,his gaze reading into my soul,but he didn't say a was waiting.
I couldn't take it anymore.
"We're gonna have a baby alien who will move things without touching them and will read our minds!" I didn't shout the words,but i sounded desperate and i couldn't stop talking "And i freaked out for the last two hours and i was going insane inside my head and.."
"I know.."
I'm sure that in that moment,when the words made sense to me,my blood just drained from my face.
When he saw that i was on the point of falling on my knees,he grabbed me and in a second my head was resting on his chest.
"I know Kitten."
DAEMON
I was anything but calm when i saw the two pink lines on the pregnancy test which was by the sink,But in the same time i was..happy. We married,well..for real..two years ago and it was kind of soon and we also had school,but i was..a dad. The realisation hit me and i just started grining.I was so afraid of this happening beacause raising an Origin it's not a piece of cake,but now that it happened, the only thing that was on my mind was that me and that obsessing-over-books nerd of mine we're gonna have something of ours and ours alone.
But where is Kat?
When i got out of the shower she was standing on the bed shouting as if the world collapsed on her. Did she not want this? I felt fear and panick down my spine. Did something happen to her or the baby?
After i asked her that she just cracked and couldn't stop talking.
"I know" I said in order to end her misery "I know Kitten" Now i just started fearing that she wouldn't want that piece of both of us.
"Kat" i said more like a prayer.
"How did you know?" she asked now more tensed than before
I grinned. "If you wanted me not to know you probably shouldn't left the proof of what you're trying to hide from on the sink"
Her face was very pale and that awful feeling down my spine was now weighting more than i could handle.
"It's okay" I said to her "We're gonna be ok" damn, i really wanted to know if she wanted this baby. I felt like i was losing her to her thoughts. For the first time since i was stalking her through her window a long time ago, i didn't know how she felt about me.
"Kitten,say something. I'm going crazy here. Are you not happy about this?"Horror traveled to my gut "..Do you want to end it?" My voice sounded like someone kicked me in the gonads.
"What?" Her voice was now strident. "Do you want me to end it?" Kat's face was now even whiter that before,if that is even possible.
"NO! Hell to the no" God,i sounded desperate,but then again, so i was. Now i realised that i was more than happy-i wanted to protect this baby as much as i wanted to protect my Kitten. If something happened to him...or her?(oh hell-that is even more scary),some part of me would die with him/her. Was it ok to name it "him/her"?Ok,wasn't the time to think about that,there were more important things at hand.
"Kitten"My voice was soft "I want it,It's ours.I already love him/her more than anything"
"Him/her?" Kat's voice relaxed and her lips twiched.
"Well,if it is a her,i gotta say to you that i'm already freaked and we're gonna move somewhere where the only guy-parts around ,will belong to me"
Kat's laugh caught me by surprise. This was seemed better,maybe she was nervous about telling me.
"Kat. Are you happy with this?"
She looked at me in shock "Yes Daemon. I was freaking out all day long and then i realised that he/she is now the size of a peanut and that if you'd freak i did not know what to do,because no way in hell was i going to give up on my peanut!"
I loved her now more than ever. I kissed her forehead and her cheeks and her lips until she started chuckling.
"Daemon?.." She said in a soft voice
"Yes Kitten?"
"If it's a boy...can we name him Adam?"
I smiled and relief filled me. She was perfect and this was all i ever wanted.
"It's perfect,Kat".
