Chapter 20

Ishwari leaned over the toilet, sitting on her knees on the bathroom floor, emptying last nights dinner into it. The last time she had been this sick was just before she discovered she pregnant with Ajay. She began running the possibility through her mind. It had been six months since she began a relationship with Pagan and within that time period they had been having a lot of unprotected sex, but Pagan's words kept going through her mind. "I'm infertile. I can't have children." Then she though maybe it was all in her head and she just had some kind of stomach virus, but that didn't explain why she was two weeks late on her period.

She felt the gagging urge return and she once more began adding to the toilet. She was so thankful that Pagan wasn't there to see her in that state. Fortunately Pagan had left early in the morning three days ago to go deal with business in one of the southern fortresses. He had informed her that he would be staying down there for a few days and she now was glad he did as the vomiting began the same day he had left.

Once she finally assured herself that she was done being sick, she stood up, grabbing a near by rag to wipe her face off. If she was pregnant, how in the world was she going to tell Pagan? Sure he was an excellent father figure to Ajay, but did he want a child of his own?

She was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of Ajay crying on the baby monitor. She exited the room and walked through the office to the hallway and towards the closest room on the right. Ajay was standing up in his crib, instantly placing his arms in the air to be picked up, when he saw his mother enter the room. "Good morning baby." she smiled at him. His tears ceased at the sound of Ishwari's voice. "I bet you're hungry. What do you way we go get some food in your tummy?"

She picked her son up out of the crib and placed him on the floor next to her. He had become very good at walking over the past few months. He held onto his mother hand and walked beside her as they walked down the hall towards the dining area. On the way, they passed by a lobby that Shanna was in, sweeping the floor.

"Hey Shanna! Would you like to join Ajay and I for breakfast?"

Shanna looked up from what she was doing. "You sure it's okay? King Min won't get mad will he?"

Ishwari laughed. "Well for one, he's not here. Second he won't, because I invited you. Besides, I want to talk to you about something."

Shanna shrugged her shoulders "Okay, let's eat."

They entered the dining hall to find the table already filled with food intended for breakfast, the same way it was every morning. Ishwari picked her toddler up, putting him in his highchair. She then place the already finely chopped up fruit in front of him so he could begin eating.

"Where's Pagan at if he's not here?" Shanna asked as she was placing some scrambled eggs onto her plate.

"He had business to take care of in the south. He's actually been away for a few days." Ishwari replied as she sat down with a plate of waffles loaded with strawberries on top.

"Really? I never know if he's here or not. He doesn't usually make himself seen." Shanna said as she took a bite of bacon.

"Yea, he secludes himself in his office, doing paperwork or talking on the phone. He's a busy man." Ishwari laughed.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Shanna questioned.

Ishwari turned to look behind her, as well as around the rest of the room to make sure no one was near to hear her. "I think I might be pregnant."

Shanna's eyes widened at her remark. "Really!?"

"I'm not entirely sure. Pagan told me he wasn't able to have kids, so it makes me question myself."

"He said there's absolutely no way he'd ever have kids?" Shanna asked.

Ishwari shrugged her shoulders. "He said there was a very little chance."

"Well very little chance is still a chance." Shanna smiled. "Does he know yet?"

"No. I'm not sure how I should tell him."

"Just come out and say it. Do you think he'll be excited?" Shanna inquested.

Once again, Ishwari shrugged her shoulders unsure. "I don't know."

"Well at any rate, if you really are pregnant, I'm excited and happy for you. You know how I love babies. Isn't that right Ajay?" She said looking at the boy who's face was now covered in red pieces of strawberry.

"I just hope he feels the same way." Ishwari looked down at her plate.

"Well if he feels the way about the baby, the same way he does about Ajay, then you have nothing to worry about."

"Let's hope so." Ishwari said, taking a sip of her orange juice.

They walked down the hallway, away from the dining room, after finishing breakfast. Shanna decided it'd be best to get back to work and get as much done as possible before quitting time. In the mean time, Ishwari decided to just hang out near her and converse as Shanna worked. Eventually Ajay became fussy and Ishwari had to take him for a walk outside. She loved watching her baby boy play and chase the butterflies that flew around. Vaguely she imagined him running around playing with another child, one that would be his sibling. Ajay would make a great older brother, she thought to herself.

Before she knew it, most of the day had gone and it was dinner time. She made sure she, along with Ajay were satisfied with a full meal before heading to give Ajay a soothing bath. Once her son was all clean she laid him on the the bed in the master room and played with him until he became too tired to keep his eyes open, in which she returned him to his own room that Pagan had renovated to be dinosaur themed, suited for a young boy. She looked over at the t-rex clock that hung on the wall. It was already eight-thirty. She returned to her room and picked up the book she had found in the library that caught her interest.

She had only made it two chapters in when she heard the office door open up. "Just leave it there by the door."

"But King Min, are you sure you don't want me to just carry it on into your room for you?"

"Oh for fuck sake, no. I said leave it here. I'll get it later. Now what I do want you to do is leave, so I can finally have some peace and quiet."

"Yes King Min. I'm sorry."

Ishwari watched anxiously at the bedroom door until it opened and Pagan entered. Instantly he kicked off his shoes and removed the blazer he was wearing, tossing off to the side. He made his way towards Ishwari and sat down next to her, leaning in for a kiss.

"God you have no idea how much I have missed you." He said, placing his hand behind her neck and pulling her in for another kiss.

"You sound like you've had a rough time." Ishwari said, rubbing her nose against his.

"You have no idea how stressed out I am right now. I'd love to go to bed right now, but I still have some things that need attending to. I just wanted to come in and see you before hand."

"You still have stuff to do?" Ishwari said disappointed.

"Just some paperwork that needs my attention. Hopefully only an hours worth. Oh and there's something else that you're probably not going to be too happy about."

"And what would that be?" Ishwari questioned.

"My sister came back with me and will be staying with us for a couple days."

Ishwari instantly rolled her eyes. "Oh, I just love when Yuma is here." She said sarcastically.

Pagan let out a small laugh. "It's only for a couple days, surely you can handle that. Anyways, the sooner I start this paperwork, the sooner I'll be able to join you in bed." He leaned forward and placed, yet another kiss on Ishwari's lips. He then rose from the bed and exited the bedroom doors into his office.

Ishwari plopped backwards onto the pillows. Yuma was here for a couple days and like always those days would be miserable. They would come with dirty looks and her doing everything in her power to keep Pagan busy so he wouldn't have any free time. On top of that Ishwari wanted to bring up the pregnancy issue with Pagan, but she sure as hell didn't want to do it with Yuma around. She must have been working Pagan hard. He really did look stressed out. Ishwari lips formed into a smile and she got up out of bed.

She made her way towards the bedroom doors and opened them to find the king sitting at his desk, already busy with his work. Hearing the door open up caused him to look up at her. "Ishwari? Everything okay."

Smiling at the man she loved, she began walking towards him. "You said you were stressed out. I want to release your stress." She rested her hands on the arms of his chair that he was sitting in and kissed him.

Pagan closed his eyes and accepted the kiss. "Where are you going with this?"

Without saying a word, Ishwari slowly knelt down and placed her hands at the button of his pants, beginning to undo them. Once she had the button free and the zipper down, she reached her hands into his boxers and wrapped her fingers around his hard member. He gasped at her touch. Upon pulling it free from the confinement of his pants, she ran her tongue starting from the base, moving up and licking the tip. Pagan threw his head back, closing his eyes. He moved his hands to run them through her hair when she took his whole manhood into her mouth.

His breathing increased when she began to move her head up and down, giving him the full suction of her mouth. "Ishwari, that feels so good" He managed to say, with his head still thrown back.

She wanted to smile at his words, but found it hard to with her mouth full. She then decided to put her teeth to good use and gently ran them across the skin of his shaft.

His hand gripped a clump of her hair. "Ahhh."

She kept up her work and she could tell Pagan was enjoying every minute of it. Things were going so good, when they heard footsteps and then the handle of the office door begin to turn. Instantly Pagan pushed her underneath the desk, so that she was hidden. Ishwari stopped what she was doing momentarily.

"Do you not know how to knock before you enter a room?" Pagan said aggravated.

"What's your problem?" Ishwari couldn't help but roll her eyes at the sound of Yuma's voice. She was glad she was hidden under the desk away from her.

"I'm just tired." Pagan lied.

Ishwari got the biggest smile and took the King into her mouth once more, being sure to do her best work. Almost instantly Pagan took in a deep breath.

"You okay?" Yuma questioned.

She couldn't tell for sure, but Ishwari was thinking that Pagan placed his face into his hands from the way his word were muffled. "Was there something you wanted?"

"I just wanted to let you know that the American will be here tomorrow." Yuma informed him.

"What time" Pagan asked, words still muffled.

"Early in the morning."

"Anything else?" This time his words were clearly spoken.

"No that's all. I'll go ahead to bed and leave you be. I'll see you in the morning brother." Yuma said, and with that Ishwari could hear the office door close.

Pagan sat still for a moment, waiting for the sound of Yuma's footsteps to disappear. When he knew it was safe, he slid his chair out from the desk, looking down at Ishwari. "You are crueler than I"

She smiled up at him and took him once more into her mouth, causing him to once again throw his head back, this time moving his hips to push himself deeper into her mouth.

After a lot of moaning, Pagan eventually found his release into Ishwari's mouth. She looked up at him, licking her lips after swallowing his seed. Pagan rested his hand on her cheek. "Ishwari, you know how to make a man happy." He pulled her in for a kiss. "To hell with this paperwork. What do you say we head to bed?" Ishwari smiled at his suggestion. Standing up, Pagan scooped Ishwari into his arms and carried her into their bedroom.
