Chapter 18: A New Life
Nick and Cassandra walked along the school path to class. Jasmine Eclipsa spent her days with Belle, listening to stories. "Nick, what are you thinking?" Cassandra asked.
"How lucky we are, to get off that Isle," Nick grinned. "Here, we're free."
Cassandra grinned weakly. "Cassie, what's wrong?" Nick frowned.
"Nothing, I'm fine,"Cassandra lied quickly.
Nick arched his eyebrow. "I know you better than that, Cassie," he replied.
"I…I think I'm pregnant," Cassandra admitted sheepishly.
Nick's eyes lit up excitedly. "Cassie, that's wonderful," he murmured eagerly.
Cassandra grinned softly. "But you know how useless the medical staff on the Isle was," she admitted. "I don't know if I'm ready for this."
"Cassie, we've got this," Nick reassured. "You've done great with Jasmine Eclipsa. We can raise this baby too."
Cassandra nodded reluctantly agreeing with her love. "Promise me that no matter what happens, you won't waste your life mourning for me," Cassandra stated.
Nick nodded, hesitantly agreeing with her.
