AN. Hey, Thanks for all the reviews. Im sorry it took me so long to update
I hope u enjoy this next chapter.
Sanguine's POV
I gather a hysterical Valkyrie in my arms. Blondie grabs onto me too and we tunnel into the ground. Blondie tells me were to go and not long later we arrive at the doctors.
"Kenspeckle!" Blondie calls. I place Valkyrie on the nearest bed and stroke her hair, she's so pale and still in shock. A grumpy lookin' old man comes in.
The moment he sees me he asks, "What's he doing here?"
I move out of the way so he can see Valkyrie, "Please help her," I say. His eyes widen slightly and he comes over to her.
"What wrong with her? What happened?" he takes out a stethoscope and puts it to her chest and listens.
"S-she's pregnant," he looks at me in shock, "and my daddy dearest came and punched her in the stomach."
He nods and feels around her stomach. He frowns, "Interesting," he grumbles.
"What? Is the baby okay?" Valkyrie comes alert out of her shock.
He nods, "The baby is fine."
I hug Valkyrie, "Thank ye God." I kiss her.
"However this is interesting," Grumpy cuts in. We look at him in confusion. He points to her stomach were a bruise should be forming but isn't. Weird. "That punch was hard enough to kill the baby, it should've killed her. But it didn't, I think this baby protected herself."
"How?"
I ask. He shrugs and goes to much her stomach. We shout in protest but before I can stop it, his hand makes contact with her stomach. As this happens I notice blue sparks between his hand and her stomach. The punch knocks air out of her but she doesn't seem hurt. He nods, "A force field. The baby is protecting herself and you, Valkyrie."
That's amazin'. "Why do ye keep sayin' herself?"
He actually smiles. "You're having a baby girl."
A baby girl. My baby girl.
Valkyrie's POV
I'm having a girl. A little baby girl.
Before I can say anymore Skulduggery bursts in, "What happened? Are you and the baby alright?"
I nod, "We're fine." He hugs me and nods.
"Good, but what happened?"
"Daddy dearest…" Sanguine simply.
Skulduggery growls , "I'm going to kill that man."
"Not if I do first," Sanguine says and I take his hand.
We say our thanks to Kenspeckle and we leave. On the way home we explain everything to Skulduggery "So, what's going on with the baby, how does it have a force field and where's Tanith? I thought she was with you."
"When she found out everything was okay, she to Ghastly."
"okay, but what about the baby?"
"I think that may be because of …" I trail off, I don't think Sanguine knows about Darkquess.
"Because of what lil darlin'?"
"Darkquess. I'm Darkquess."
He goes silent.
AN. I'm SO sorry it was short, I had a little writers block I hope you liked it. Please R&R. until next time.
