Chapter 2. Rather short but the next one will be longer!
Kai wasn't surprised nor shocked that Thorne wasn't cooperating. In all truth, he wouldn't find it surprising if nobody wanted to cooperate with him. He didn't know if even he fully agreed with it, and he was one of the head figure of the new Lunar registration act. It seemed that all the leaders of the countries were trying to pass the new registration policies. And as his role as government official it was the only logical thing to do.
He needed to get names on his list of high profile Lunars, and the little leg lag trick that Rose Throne just preformed, just showed Kai that she was indeed a gifted Lunar. He understood Thrones need to protect his family above all cost. But Kai also understood why he needed to get the name for the list. After all, it didn't really seem that he had a choice.
Kai sighed as he sat down in a chair. He watched as the party dwindled down. Most of the guest had already started to make their leave, he would soon follow suit. He pulled out his portscreen to make some notes and to see if any of his meetings had been rescheduled since the half hour he checked ago.
You don't need to tell yourself that your checking your emails, Kai thought to himself. You know what your checking and its most definitely not political meeting he added.
He opened up his messaging app and scrolled until he was at the screen titled with Lihn Cinder and a picture of her smiling as the icon. Sadly there was no new messages. He tapped out the short message of Are you up?
A few seconds later a message appeared Yeah, what's wrong?
He gloomily looked at his portscreen. Sure he could rant away all his troubles in a few characters, except he knew that he could never say anything too important over the net. There was always the risk of hackers going through his personal messages, and he knew a very good hacker who was properly furious at him at the moment.
Another message popped up What's wrong? What happened.
Even though they were worlds apart, it was a nice gesture that she was conserved about him. Kai wondered what she called him, her friend? Her boyfriend or even her lover. Either one of those would be accurate, the only thing that wouldn't be accurate is the term Husband. Even with all his power, Kai couldn't marry the woman he loved. And he knew that she loved him too. Whenever he could get away from Earth, and to Cinder, they would bask in bliss every moment they had together. Kisses in hallways or laughing over the banquet table. It was not a secret with the high officials that they were lovers. It just wasn't acknowledged. A lot of the political leaders still were antsy around Luners after the war. Most of the world couldn't forget the advantage that the Lunars had over the Earthling during the war. Kai for one could not forget. Cinder would never turned her back away from Earth, he knew that she would never start a war against Earth. He had utmost trust in her in that aspect.
What he didn't know was how she would react when she finds out about the Lunar Registration Act. As far as he knew she assumed it was all false snare campaign material against running parties for an election. Cinder did not think that the Earthlings would be having a forced registration of all its Lunar habitats. He definitely did not know how she would react when she finds out about how he was a part of the whole thing.
He sighed once more. It was nice resting for a bit. Even if it was during the end of a party. He found himself in chronic back pain too much for a man his age. It was a side affect of all the stress it takes to run a country.
He looked at his potscreen one more time, Kai typed out the message, Just a stressful day, how was yours?
Cinder replied with, Tell me about it as soon as you can. I had a very very long meeting today that I'd rather forget all about. I also have very big news for you!
I don't know if I'll have time to come up anytime soon :/, Kai typed out.
A picture message popped of Cinder holding a piece of paper, she was smiling and looked as beautiful as always.
Kai replied with, The news is that you have a piece of paper?
You dork, read what's on the paper.
"Oh," said Kai. He placed the phone on the table.
So you read the fine print?
A thousands thoughts raced through Kai's head, none that he was able to comprehend.
I'm Pregnant.
