Chapter 2 – Pregnancy

(Beka's P.O.V.)

It had been two months since Rosto and I first confessed our love to one another. Everything was going great, I had moved out of my apartment, and into his.

So I was still a puppy and he's still the king of the Rogue. I would be a puppy for half a year, and then I would be able to become a dog and do whatever I want. So if Rosto decided to ask me to marry him then, I would accept because I would have all my priorities in place.

At the moment, Rosto agreed to take it at my pace, so he would not be rushing/pushing me into anything that I didn't want to do. It was nice, but I wanted to move forward in our relationship. I wanted him to be forever mine.

I was sitting at home, doing nothing, as I was waiting for Rosto, and to go on duty. The day was taking forever. Rosto would have been here to keep me company but someone from the Rogue came to get him for some sort of Emergency. So now I was stuck here for the next fours doing nothing.

"Wait a minute, I can go downtown to the spinners, and hear what they have to say," I said to myself with a smile. Rosto would be upset, but he would have to understand why I couldn't stay in a room for hours. I would end up going insane.

I got up, got my shoes and coat on, and walked out, and locked it so Rosto wouldn't throw a fit later. I took a nice, long stroll down to Central Park, and sat down so I could listen/feed the birds.

The birds came over to me, and ate out of my hand as usual. The only thing that was different was that there was no gossip to lead to anything bad. The whole town was quiet of gossip, which scared me more than their being any bad crimes. I sat their for a half an hour or so before I got up and decided to go see Rosto at work, I had nothing better to do and I should probably explain myself now before I go to work in three and a half hours.

On the way to the rogue, I stopped at the bread stand, to get something to eat. I had been awfully hungry lately, and I would randomly start throwing up everywhere, and I didn't know why. If this didn't stop in a few weeks I would go to Kora about it, and she what she thinks.

But anyway, that's beside point, I was on the way to the rogue, because I missed my Rosto every moment that he was away. I finally got to there ten minutes later. I walked around the back door, so no one would see me that shouldn't see me. Being the Rogue Kings girlfriend, I could be killed or hurt. Rosto couldn't stress that enough. The thought of that made me laugh, as I knocked on the door.

A few minutes later Kora opened up the door, it took her a moment to realize it was I, but once she did she smiled, and graciously let me in. "What are you doing here? Rosto is going to throw a fit that his princess is out and about without someone to keep her safe. You know that" Kora said with a big grin.

"Well you see since the Emergency, which I have no clue what its about? I was going insane staying in our room, by myself with nothing to do. I needed to get out, so I walked to Central park to listen to the birds, but they had no news. I walked over here after a half hour of that. Plus I need to talk to you, about something but I don't know if now is the time" I said quietly, so none of the other people in the room would hear me.

Kora pulled me over to an empty room, and we stepped inside, as she put up a spell so no one could hear our conversation. "First off, the emergency was that someone was plotting to kill Rosto and you. Second off, I understand you were going to go insane. Now what was your question?" She asked lovingly, like a sister and friend would.

"You see Rosto and I are lovers and you know what that means, and it's been a month. Now I'm vomiting randomly, and in a month or two if it doesn't stop I was wondering if I could come to you and see what it is" I mumbled out quietly, as I was embarrassed.

"Of course, I have a pretty good idea what it is all ready, but we'll check in two to three weeks. Now lets get you to Rosto before he gets home and finds you missing, you know he'll go insane" Kora said, as she rolled her eyes.

"Is he in his office?" I asked with a laugh. We knew Rosto too well; he became very protective of me. It was a very good thing, but at the same time it got annoying.

"Yep, I'll let you go by yourself. I don't want to be in there when he gets angry" She smiled.

"I know how to control that, it doesn't frighten me," I laughed, as I walked out of the room when Kora took down her spell.

I walked over to Rosto's office, and the door was closed. "That's unusual, wonder what's up?" I thought to myself. I put my head to the door so I could listen better. I wanted to know what I was walking in on.

Being the king of the Rogues girlfriend was bound to pay off sooner or later.

"Aniki, whatever you do, do not to tell Beka what I'm up to. You'll ruin the whole surprise," he said with happiness but with warning in his voice.

I decided that it was the perfect moment to walk in. I turned the handle, and walked right in (unusual, the door was always locked when it was shut). Rosto's face went really red with embarrassment.

"Hey baby, what was that about not telling me about a surprise you have for me?" I said smirking, as I put my hands on my hips. Rosto was still speechless; Aniki started laughing as she got up.

"I'm not getting into this. Hey sweetie, have fun with Rosto" She grinned, as she walked out of the room and shut the door behind her.


(Rosto's P.O.V.)

I was in the middle of telling my plan to Aniki about the surprise I have for my girlfriend, when who other than her walks in. By her self may I add? I was blushing so bad, because I had been caught in the middle of it. I gained my composure, and tried a new technique.

"What are you doing out of the house by yourself? I thought we talked about this?" I said putting up my angry face. I knew it wasn't going to last, but I had to try to get the subject off her surprise.

"ROSTO, do you know what it's like to be stuck in a house without anything to do? I was going insane. I went to the park to go listen to the spinners but they had nothing. Then I came down here to see you, and this is the thanks I get. Now stop fussing and tell me what you were telling Aniki, otherwise you're out of the apartment," She said with a quiet, dead serious voice, which made every inch of my body quiver in fear.

She knew how to get me, and get me good. "I'm sorry honey. I should have brought you with me. I'll bring you with me, everyday so you have something to do. Do you forgive a stupid, worthless man like myself my princess?" I asked with sadness, as I hung my head down.

She walked over to me with a big smile on her face. She wrapped her hands around my waist and looked me straight in the eyes. "Rosto you are never a stupid and worthless man. Yes I forgive you, we're both still learning here. Of course I'll come with you tomorrow, and everyday after that. Do you forgive me for walking off without talking to you about it?" She said with a small smile on her lips.

"I always forgive you princess," I said, as I leaned in and gave her a kiss.

She pulled away with a big smile on her face. "Oh no, I know what's next" I thought to myself with horror.

"So baby, will you please tell me what my surprise is? I promise to act like I never knew in the first place?" She pouted with her puppy dogface.

"If I tell you, that ruins the whole thing. I'm sorry princess," I said, as I put my hand over my eyes so I wouldn't give in so fast. The puppy dogface, always worked on me, and she knew that.

"But baby, please. I thought you loved me," she said sadly, since I wouldn't let her see my face.

"Who let you in here?" I asked to change the subject, once I took my hand down from my eyes.

"Kora, she let me know all about the emergency and how you were going to throw a fit over me out of the house" She said grumpily, as she placed her hand on her hips.

"Right, u... What do you want to do for the next couple hours? I have to work, but we will find you something. Kora, Aniki or I will bring you/pick you up at the kennel tonight. I also will have a couple of my men following you in the shadows so you don't get hurt. Your dogs all ready know about this, and agreed." I said taking a more serious note. I was going to take no chances of my princess getting hurt.

"All right. I'll file some paperwork for you. What time are you dropping me off, and picking me up? Is someone walking me back to the house, or the rogue?" She asked, as she dropped the subject.

"Just please forget earlier." I thought to myself hoping.

"We'll bring you to the kennel in two hours, and will pick you up there at ten. They will bring you back here to me, so I know you're all right. Lets go get Kora so she can help you with filing, so you have someone to talk to while I work" I smiled, as I walked over to my gorgeous, beautiful, amazing lady.

She wrapped her arms around me and we kissed. "We'll talk more about this later. I'm not giving up so easily. I still need to go back to the house to grab my uniform and my baton," She whispered in my ear.

"I'll get Aniki to go run up there now to get them. I figured as much" I sighed, as I let her go and walked out of my office to the hall so I could find Kora and Aniki and talk to them about it.

Once I explained to them they accepted at once. Aniki had the extra key to my apartment so she ran back to get my Beka's stuff. Kora gladly joined Beka in my office to file so they could have girl talk. I didn't know if that was bad or good.


(Beka's P.O.V.)

Kora and I sat down in Rosto's office, and started filing all the different paperwork he had. I told her about Rosto's and my conversation. She started laughing like there was no tomorrow. "You are definitely perfect for him"

Kora got up, and shut and locked the door, before she put a spell up so no one could listen in to our conversation.

"What's up Kora?" I asked worried, because she had a serious face expression.

"About what you asked me earlier, I think I should check you out in two weeks. I know what it is, and it should be checked out immediately." She said kindly, but still serious.

"Kora your scaring me, just come out and say it," I said, as I started to panic.

"I believe your pregnant dear. Have you been eating more than usual? Do you only throw up in the mornings? When was the last time you had your monthly?" She asked me with concern as she threw the questions out there.

My mouth hung open, I was stunned and happy at the same time. "Yes I eat a lot, and yes to throwing up in the mornings. Two months ago was the last time for my monthly. Do you really think so?" I started crying tears of happiness. I've always wanted this but now I was scared.

I was scared of what Rosto might say and do if he didn't want kids. I was scared of what my family would say and do to me also.

"Kora, do you think Rosto will keep me, and be excited to have a kid? Or will he kick me out and want nothing to do with me? I'm scared and happy at the same time" I bawled even harder.

Kora walked over to me, and wrapped her arms around me. "Beka Cooper, of course he will keep you. Do you know how much he wants to have a kid? Why would you think he would kick you out and want nothing to do with you?"

"Its just that in my past I have seen guys leave their girlfriends or wife's because they got pregnant. Do you really think he wants this?" I asked, as I wiped my tears. I replace my sadness with joy at the thought of being a mom.

"Yes, now lets go get him in here so he know what is going on" She smiled; as she took down the listening spell she called it. "I'll go get him, I can tell you're nervous" She walked out of the office, and returned with Rosto five minutes later.

He looked at me with worried eyes. "What's wrong baby?" he asked, as he rushed over to me. He must have seen the wet tears on my face.

"Sit down baby, and Kora will explain. We're not certain but we're going to check it out in two weeks" I said with nervousness, I tried to smile but he saw right through it.

He sat down right next to me, and put his arm around me so I could lean into him. I buried my head in his side, so I wouldn't see his reaction.

"Rosto, I think she's pregnant" Kora said with a big smile.

All was silent for a moment.


(Rosto's P.O.V.)

My mouth hung open. I had always dreamed and wanted a family, and now it might come true. I was truly excited.

I saw Beka crying into my side. "Beka baby, what's wrong?" I asked, as I patted my hand back and forth over her head.

"I'm sorry Rosto. I'll understand if you want to kick me out of my your life, and want nothing to do with the baby and I" she sobbed harder.

I lifted her into my lap, and gave Kora a look that asked if we could be alone. Kora agreed, and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind her.

"Honey, where did you get an idea like that? I would never kick you out of my life. Of course I want the baby and you in my life. This is all I've dreamed about since I met you" I said, as I bent down and kissed the top of her head.

She cried for a while before she answered me. "Growing up all you saw was guys leaving their wife's or girlfriends because they got pregnant. I knew you wouldn't, but the thing is that's all I've ever grown up with and so the thought still varies in my mind. I'm sorry for assuming"

I realized that this is why she rejected me so many times along with the way her stepfather was. I decided that my surprise needed to happen right away. "Princess, don't you dare say sorry for that. That is not your fault that is all you've ever known. We need to have dinner with your family right away, I need to talk to your lord"

She nodded her head, and leaned deeper into me. "I love the way my life is with Beka, I wouldn't change anything for this" I thought to myself with a smile.

"Beka?" I asked happily. I waited for an answer, and didn't get one. I looked down to see her a sleep in my lap. I brought both of us to the sofa I had in my office. "I'll just take a short nap, before I bring her to the kennel" I yawned to myself, as I laid my head down and drifted off.


(Beka's P.O.V.)

~Two weeks later~

I was on my way upstairs to Kora's room for our appointment. I was nervous and excited to see if I was seriously pregnant. Rosto and I all ready went to my family and told them. They weren't happy, but Rosto…. Wait a moment. I forgot to tell you that Rosto and I are officially engaged. When we saw my family, he asked them for my hand in marriage. They agreed because I was pregnant, not because they liked him. My lord likes him but we will keep that a secret.

Once I got up the stairs, and to Kora's door. I knocked and waited for an answer. She finally answered the door a few minutes later with a big smile. "Come on in sweetie"

"So what do we have to do to find out" I spilled out with excitement.

She laughed at me. "Man, are you excited. All I have to do is this spell. It wont hurt you or the baby or mess the process up. All it does is send a wavelength of power threw your body, when it comes back to me it will tell us our answer. Then we won't know the sex of the baby till it's born"

I walked further into the room, and sat on the bed. I gave her an annoyed look, which made her laugh even more. "Can we please just do this"?

She nodded her head, as she shut and locked the door. She placed a listening spell around the whole room, before she turned to me with a big smile. "Are you ready to do this?"

"Yes, I have been waiting for this day forever" I squealed.

"All right" she said seriously, as she started mumbling some sort of spell. Before I knew it I had pink, and green glowing lights all around my body. I sat very still and waited for her to say something. It was a few long good moments before she smiled. "Congrats Beka. I'm so happy for ya"

I jumped off the bed quickly as I jumped up and down in excitement.

"Beka, Calm down and take a deep breath" She giggled. I took a breath and let it out while I waited calmly for he to continue. "You are about two and a half months pregnant. Now lets get you safely to work. He's probably dieing with wonder at the moment"

I laughed; Rosto was so predictable to all of us. "I can't wait to tell him. Kora when we get their can you get Rosto to meet me in his office?"

"Dah! Now lets go," She giggled, as we were on our way to work.

~Ten Minutes Later~

We arrived at work, and since Kora had a key for the back door, we didn't have to wait on anyone letting us in.

We walked in hearing sounds of swords banging, and lots of yelling going on. Kora and I rain to the main room to see what was going on.

What I saw there scared me. My Rosto, and two other men were sword fighting with faces full of hate, and anger. I had never seen Rosto in a fight with someone other than me. Of course he was never like this with me.

I gasped, and that's when I saw Kora look at me with worry, wondering if she should step in. I nodded my head yes, and she ran over to them to intervene. You see I gasped because I worry about Rosto a lot, and I want nothing bad to happen to him. He is my life.

All heads turned as she used some of her magic to move the crowd away from the two men, and my Rosto.

"What is going on here Wolf and Black?" She asked with a soft, stern voice that made it sound deadly and dangerous. It gave me Goosebumps.

"A disagreement of who said what, and how much we get" One of the men spoke quietly

"Is this what happens when I leave for an important appointment. You two have shadowing for two weeks, and if you argue or complain about it you'll get it for two more weeks. Am I understood?" She said with a voice of pure ice.

They dropped their swords and bowed. "Yes my queen"

"My Queen?" I thought to myself, when did she become this. Why wouldn't Rosto tell me?

One they was done, they stood up and left. The crowd then disappeared soon after that. Rosto and Kora took a deep breath before they started talking, forgetting about me standing there.

"Fine, forget about me and my news" I thought to myself with anger. I knew this wasn't fair, but I couldn't help my mood swings, they just kind of took over.

"Fine, forget about me and my news while you're at it," I yelled with hate and anger. I ran out of the room, and Rosto ran after me. I shut and locked the door in his face before he could even talk or get in.

I ran over to the couch and sat down, as I started crying.

"No one cares about me. I'm stuck being here all day long with nothing to do. I can't do anything I want to do anymore," I pouted to my mind.

"Princess, I'm sorry. Please let me in so we can talk about this and your news" he said calmly, but got excited as he said news. He could never foul me.

"Go away. You don't care, no one cares about fat, ugly, chained up Beka," I sobbed loudly on my name. I instantly threw my arms around my stomach, and that made it easier to think, as I cried my heart out.

"Beka, honey. You aren't…." He started to say, but I cut him off.

"NO! Leave me alone. Did anyone of you stop & ask me how I feel about all this Piper?" I yelled out with tears and anger.

I heard him gasp at his last name. But I didn't care at the moment. I sat there, and bawled my eyes out for a few more minutes, before I fell a sleep.


(Rosto's P.O.V.)

When Beka said my last name, and told me to leave her alone; I decided that she wouldn't be coming out of there anytime soon. So I got Kora to come with me so she could back me up as I opened the door with the key.

I didn't hear her cry, or protest so I thought she was sitting there waiting for me. What I didn't except was to see her a sleep with fresh tears on her face.

"Kora, is she seriously mad at me?" I asked with a horrified expression at the thought of ever hurting her in any shape or form.

"All I can say is she is not mad at you. She will tell you the rest when she wakes up. Be patient, she is worn out and frustrated. She's not allowed to go or do anything anymore. She just wants to do something she wants to do for once. Tell her about how I'm queen of rogue, which is probably the main reason why she's upset. You didn't tell her " my very dear friend smiled at me, before she turned and walked out of the room.

I gently lifted Beka, so she wouldn't stir. She curled up in my arms and leaned her head against my chest. "I need to sit down and talk with her," I thought sadly to myself.

I walked us out of my office as I shut and locked the door carefully without dropping my lovely Beka.

I looked around and saw Kora and Aniki in the corner of the big room talking. They saw me holding Beka, and they just smiled, as they waved us over.

"Can you two take over the rest of the day? I need to spend time with her" I sighed.

"Yes, Go" they urged me, so I would get out of here for once.

I walked out the back door of the rogue and stopped. "Where should I take us?" I asked myself. I wanted somewhere quiet where we could talk all of this out.

It took me a minute before I decided to take her home. I finally arrived home ten minutes later. I sat against the tree, and leaned Beka more towards my chest.

"Kora is right, I have to explain everything to her that I haven't shared with yet. I also need to find out if we're having a child," I was thinking to myself at a hundred miles a minute.

"Rosto?" Beka asked with a smile. I was so lost in thought, that I didn't feel her wake up.

I turned my head and smiled when I heard her call my name. I leaned down and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.

"You are not fat or ugly, love. You're Beautiful, amazing, and so much more. Don't you ever think that about yourself? I'm sorry that we've had you chained up. I just don't want anyone to hurt you. You mean the world to me. We need to talk this out love. There are some stuff I need to share with you and explain" I said lovingly, but serious at the same time.

"I'm sorry Rosto. I didn't mean to throw a fit. I don't know what happened, I just snapped when you didn't pay attention to me. Please forgive me baby? I love you so much" She rambled with tears.

I smiled, because she was so cute when she rambled, but this wasn't the time or place to tell her that. We needed to work this out. I leaned down and kissed her again, but this was a much slower but longer kiss. A little while later, I pulled away so we could catch our breaths.

"Don't be sorry. Of course I forgive you, I always do. I love you too. Listen, first off you need to know that Kora is queen of the rogue because she is the second most powerful and deadly out of the crew. I never mentioned it because I thought you would be mad and jealous" Now I was the one rambling.

She just smiled, but she let me continue.

"Second off, there is a lot of threats going around from people about wanting to kill both you and I. That is why you've been kind of chained up. I'm sorry about that and…" I was saying till my lovely Beka cut me off.

"Rosto, We're having a baby" she cried out with excitement.

A big grin spread across my face. "That's what the whole outburst was"

She nodded her head yes, and just giggled. I hugged and kissed every inch of her.

"Thank you lord" I praised in my head.

A little while later, we sat against each other with smiles on our faces.

"So now all we have to do is plan the wedding" my princess said with happiness, as it was all written over her face.

"Yes we do" I smirked.
