Chapter 29: Alien Father, Human Mother

Isabelle

"Why do we have to go to your planet for the birth?" Isabelle panted as another contraction hit her. "What about the Tryns?"

Kohl pulled up the couch cushions to find her wedding ring. Over the last month it had gotten too tight on her finger and he fastened a chain around her neck to wear it, but the lock broke last night in their lovemaking and she didn't realize it was missing until this morning. "I can't find it. We'll have to hunt for it later."

"No way!" she huffed. "I'm not leaving without it." They still didn't know if she'd survive the birth, but she wanted everyone to know she was Mrs. D'Kohralx. Even though Kohl's people didn't wear rings, but kept each other's scent on them, she liked her wedding ring of white gold and diamonds and sapphires in twinging hearts. Both symbolize her and Kohl and their twins.

"Damn it, Isabelle. We can find it later." He raked a hand through his hair.

She tapped her foot and crossed her arms.
