Luxa rolled over in the hospital bed. Her cousin, Nerissa, was standing next to her holding her hand. Luxa's arm hurt from the blood that was just taken. They had scheduled an appointment to find out if Luxa really was pregnant . Luxa didn't want word of it getting around so she went to some one she could trust, her aunt Suzanna. Suzanna had promised to keep the test her and only her. It would be one hundred percent private and would not be put on her record.
Suzanna walked back in the room and closed the curtain tightly behind her. She walked over to Luxa and with a soft voice she said. "Positive".
Luxa couldn't say anything. She closed her eyes and worried about what she was going to do.
Run away? Leave her city? Her home? Although Regalia was under control. They hadn't had a war in tow years. And Jacob wasn't a bad king. But where could she go were no one would know? The jungle? No.
The Firelands? No. Was there anywhere for her?
Luxa felt a hand on her shoulder. She wasn't sure whose it was, but she didn't care.
She opened her eyes to see Suzanna was gone. The room was quiet. Then Nerissa spoke up.
"We should go." Luxa only nodded.
They headed back to Aurora to head back to Regalia. It was a about an hour ride from the Fount to Regalia. Luxa didn't speak the whole time. But she did, however, vomit. They had to stop three different times for her. During the times she wasn't hurling, Luxa thought about him. She missed everything about him. His smile. His sent. His taste. Everything. She feared when her husband would find the time to scream at her for Gregor's last episode . Her entire body was filled with dread fear and lonesomeness.
They landed in High hall. Luxa dismounted and headed straight for her room. She was supposed to meet her husband for lunch but the thought of food made her want to vomit. She had Nerissa tell him she was sick. He didn't seem to mind though. She brushed her long silvery blonde hair , slipped into something more comfortable, crawled in bed and fell asleep.
She didn't know how long it had been before she was woken up by her 12 year old cousin, Hazard, coming in after teaching one of his language classes. He walked over to her laying in the bed with her head under the covers. "Hey , Luxa. You okay?" all he heard was a moan of a young women in pain.
"Can I help?", he asked.
"If you can find me. I got lost. Why is my bed so huge?", she said in a tired voice. Hazard laughed and lifted the blanket causing her to roll out of it. She gave another long moan. He put his hand on her forehead.
"Wow you defiantly have a fever", he said. " I'm sorry you don't feel well. Whats going on with you?"
Luxa felt her stomach tighten when he asked that. She felt like she could tell him and he would keep it to himself , but she honestly didn't want him to know yet.
"I am just not feeling good lately.", she lied.
"Since when?", he questioned.
"A few days ago."
"Since Gregor left?"
"Hazard ,please fetch me some medicine for my head.", said Luxa changing the subject.
"Alright. But just remember I'm here when your ready to tell me." he said walking off to find some medicine.
Luxa woke up again to her husband walking and making so much noise that Hazard had to get on to him. She rolled over and saw that Hazard had set two pills on the table next to her along with a cup of water. She took the pills and then saw Jacob walking in the room and sitting on the end of the bed.
"Luxa, I see that you're not feeling well, but you and I are in need of a talk.", he said as she dropped her head back on the pillow." Jacob I am in need of sleep!" ,she said with her face in the pillow.
"Luxa tell me what it was that drove Gregor to attack me when I tried to kiss you?" Luxa got that feeling in
Her stomach again "Jacob , Gregor isn't really…sane at the moment", she thought of what to say next.
"He just sometimes get the urge o fight, like he cant control it. I am sure it had nothing to do with you trying to kiss me.", she said. "Now can I please sleep?"
"Why didn't you just let me kiss you?", he said. Luxa rolled her eyes. (into the pillow, he didn't see)
"I don't know what your talking about , honey, I would have let you kiss me if it wasn't for Gregor."
"If it wasn't for him attacking me, or if it wasn't for Gregor in general?"
Luxa didn't know what to say to that
