Settle an old score

Haru blinked her eyes and opened her mouth to retort but she ended up closing it again as her mind went blank for a moment. When she recovered, she glanced at Adis then down to her belly with eyes full of anticipation and worry.

"Adis?" She called out but she didn't know what to say.

Twins?! Is that even possible? One demon child was already too much of a risk to her life. Would she be able to survive after childbirth? Was she providing enough nutrition for two babies?

Her heart and mind were now in overdrive.

Then, she felt her husband touched her abdomen and kissed the side of her head, and that was all she needed to soothe the anxiety that was slowly gnawing her.

When she sighed and took solace from his touch, Adis made her look at him and enveloped her small face in his grasp.
