Undecided

Alexander’s POV

Cassidy and I agreed to read the books that Queen Tasha had kindly brought before we properly discussed the pregnancy. But instead of relocating to the library for our research, we stayed in our rooms so that he could easily take a nap when it was much needed.

This was obviously an important decision and I vowed that whatever he decided to do, I would support him.

A week later, in between naps and the visits from the siblings, Cass and I were ready to talk.

We got comfortable, seated face to face on the bed. I took Cassidy’s hand in mine and waited for him to speak.

“I’m pregnant,” he finally says, and I nod encouragingly. “And it’s definitely yours.” I rub tiny circles into the skin of his hands with my thumb. Cassidy bites his lip. “Do you…want children?” he asks.

“I do,” I tell him softly.

Cassidy swallows. “Oh,” he says. He looks away. “What if I don’t?”

Immediately, I pull him into an embrace. “As long you’re happy,” I reply.
