Chapter 44

I awake and stretch yawning I peek my eyes open to see De'rax staring at me. I smile kissing his lips in a quick peck.

"Morning" I say.

"Morning my love. How do you feel?"

I take stock of myself then answer. "I feel better but still can't believe I'm pregnant. I mean I know that's what happens when I go into heat...I'm just still trying to wrap my head around that it happened so quick."

He hugs me. " I know my love I know. I'm still in shock as well but I am excited. I want this baby I want to see our bond grow. I'm just wondering how we are going to let others know your not a beast."

I sit up and move to get dressed as I think.

" I'm not sure...our close group knows now but I wonder if that is all that need know."

De'rax looks at me with an odd look and asks. "What do you mean the only ones that need to know?"

"Well think about it...do you care about all the other people in the world." I watch his face then say. "No you dont."

I wrap my arms around his neck climbing onto his lap to look him in the eyes. "You only care about what I think. I think that only the people closest to us. The ones that will be with us for far longer than a few measly days only need know."

De'rax gazes at me for a solid few minutes before he breaks out into a grin. "Yeah your right only the people that matter." He hugs me close breathing deep he slowly relaxes. I rub his back as we just sit and enjoy the silence.

I was about to say it is nice when...Knock KNOCK.

De'rax groans shaking his head on my shoulder as I giggle at his muttered words.

"Can't a man get any peace with is mate in this damn place.

A voice is heard through the door calling out for De'rax and he turns glaring at the door.

"Go the f*** away right now. I mean it Argo. We have told you all we know."

Argo voice comes through the door and bit louder. "But boss Grib ship still needs to be dealt with along with all of the prisoners and hired hands he had helping him."

De'rax sighs groaning he lifts his head and looks at me. "You ready to deal with al this sh** now?"

"Why not. If we don't now we will just keep putting it off. Procrastination is a possible habit to start" I giggle at the look he gives me and we both stand dressing quickly we open the door to Argo.
