08 - Chapter Eight - Thanatos Alexander's Point Of View

It was quite an ugly day when I got up, there was nothing in the worldthat made me want to get out of bed. Forest was sound asleep, I wastucked against his side. He is my own personal heater, it was like asauna under the blankets. I could hear Quinn and Kane downstairslaughing and enjoying themselves. I felt off but I couldn't place thereason, I figured it was because Forest and I mated.

I managed to crawl out of bed and go downstairs. I walked into thekitchen and sat at the table. I dropped my head onto the table. Quinnwalked into the kitchen and wished me a good morning. I just groanedin response.

Forest made his way down into the kitchen,

" Are you alright Than?" He asked with his eyes staying on me.

"Your awfully pale Thanatos,” Kane said looking at me.

Quinn came and handed me two small pink pills,

"Take this Than, and let me know if they make you feel better"

"Okay, thanks Quinn *

I took the pills and went to sit on the couch, Forest's little brother sawme and his face fell

"You look terrible Mr.Vampire"

Both me and him turned when we heard a growl. Forest was standingat the doorway, he was growling. He was most likely growling over thecomment that his little brother made.

I heard Quinn's voice from the kitchen, "Make sure you put your dirtycondoms in the trash bin and whatnot, so they don't end up in mylaundry. "

"They won't.”

"How do you know that smart ass?"

"They won't mom, we never used any condoms, that's how I know therewon't be any in the laundry.”

"What in the great moon goddess did you just say!" I heard Quinnscream and his footsteps told me he was on his way to chew my headoff.

"I hardly doubt you want me to repeat myself, mom," Forest said,staying out of reach of his birth father who looked ready to beat hisass.

"No wonder poor Thanatos looks so shitty, he probably is with pupsnow,” Quinn yelled his arms flying everywhere.

"Quinn I'm oka--"

"Shut your damn mouth Thanatos I'm talking!" Quinn yelled.

Kane pack linked the pack doctor and told him to bring a blood kit.Forest lifted me off the couch and walked upstairs with me. He gentlyset me on his bed

"I'm so sorry Thana----"

"I'm not sorry," I grabbed Forrest's arm and set it on my belly.

"We could have a pup in there, and I'm not at all angry or upset, I'moverjoyed."

That was a little bit of a lie. I felt terrible for putting this stress on himafter we agreed he was too young to be a father.

"Than, I would be a terrible father, I'm not even an adult by humanstandards yet."

"Guy's the pack doctor has arrived,” Kane yelled up the stairs.

We both let out the air we didn't realize we were holding before wewent downstairs. Quinn smiled at me softly. I could see the hope andjoy in his eyes, he was hoping that we were having a baby. Quinngrabbed my hand and gave it a squeeze, I could see he didn't want towait any longer. The doctor instructed me to sit down and allow him todraw enough blood to see if there were any hormones in my blood thatwould give a clue if I had conceived.

The doctor left after drawing my blood to go process it. Forest was onedge for the next couple of hours. every time there was a message hedemanded to know what it was for.

It was about six hours after the doctor left that both Kane and Quinncame to replace us, we were watching a movie, Forest was the first tonotice them, Forest stood up and pulled me up with him. I watched asKane handed a shiny envelope to Forest, I let him open it and he pulledthe letter out. He looked at the paper as if he was expecting it to burstinto flames. I watched as his eyes shut and he went sailing to the floor. Iwent to dive to the floor to grab my mate but there was a hand aroundmy waist. I turned and saw Kane had his arms around my upper half.

1 was angry that he let my mate hit the floor, but I understood whyright away. The letter had both the Alpha, Luna & Pack Doctorssignatures in it, the words, PREGNANCY TEST: POSITIVE, stood out.I walked to the couch and sat down, strange dizziness began to comeover me. I fainted.

When I finally came to, Forest had moved me so I was in his lap on thecouch and he had me pulled against his chest. I could feel his panic butI also felt how happy he was. Despite all the shock of everything. I washappy to know he wasn't too worried at this moment.

Quinn and Kane were sitting on the other couch having a conversationabout what they were going to do now with this little surprise. I feltguilty about the whole thing. This isn't fair that they had to worry aboutwhat they were going to do now, All because of my poorjudgement.There was always the option of aborting the baby, But I hada funny feeling that wasn't going to to fly in this household. Vampiresweren't as attached to the idea of pregnancy until the baby was born.werewolves on the other hand held pups highly and abortion wasntcommonly praticed in packs unless it was necessary.

I sighed into Forest's chest startling him. He looked down at me, hiseyes full of worry. He touched his forehead to mine and I could feelhow relieved he was that I was okay. That feeling of guilt crept back inand I looked away from him. Moving myself from his lap I sat besidehim on the couch and tried to replace the words to apologize to hisparents for my mistake. Finally replaceing the words I opened my mouthonly for Quinn to speak.

“If you say what I know you're going to then you better actually replacesomething to apologize for Thanatos.”

I wasn't all that surprised that he knew I wanted to say sorry, after all hewas an elder and had powers from the moon goddess herself. Quinngave me a small smile before he spoke further.

“So here are the options at hand. One, you abort the baby and go onlike nothing has changed, Two you keep the baby and raise it, or Threeyou keep the baby and we can replace a nice family to raise the child. Youguys should think it over and come up with a plan here, there's nothingwrong with any of the options, Whatever you pick you will not beshamed.”

I could feel how bad Forest wanted to say something that was makinghim angry but he didn't he kept his mouth closed and just sat there. Itook his hand and looked at him.

“Forest, I can feel how uncomfortable you are with the idea of abortingthe child, I felt it immediately. If that's not something you want then wehave other options.”

Forest let out a deep breath before he spoke.

“Than, It's your body you get the last say as to what happens with thechild growing inside of you.”

“I appreciate that you are letting me make the decision, but I'm givingyou a say as well, this is your child as well, and if you don't want toabort the child then it's off the table. We can keep it and it will be a lotof work, or we can have it adopted out to a good family.”

“I want to be selfish and say keep it, but I also want to do best by thechild growing inside you.”

After all the talking we settled on keeping the child and I knew Forestwas happy about that, but also fearful to fail the child. It pleased methat he was so concerned about being a good parent this soon.
