09 - Chapter Nine - Thanatos Alexander's Point Of View

School started again yesterday, Forest and I have been trying toconnect before school started. The alarm sang its angry tune at six a.m,waking us both up. Forest didn't want to get out of bed but I got upand pulled the blanket off him, He growled in response to losing theblanket. That made me instantly annoyed with him.

" Don't growl at me Forest, Get up, You need your schooling. Angrylittle fucker.”

He pulled the pillow from my side over his ears.

"Fine, I'm going to get your father.”

I'd never seen someone run so fast, he slammed the bedroom door andstood in front of it

"Let's not go crazy now, Than, my dad needs his sleep”

"You just don't want him to be on your ass because he will make sureyou're awake, by any means necessary."

Forest got dressed and walked over to a calendar he put up last monthwhen we found out I was pregnant, he calls our child, our little Peanut. Igot dressed figuring I was going to drive him to school yet again.Forest went to a private school where only supernaturals or humansthat are somehow related to supernaturals are allowed to go to schoolthere. That made it a whole lot easier for us to not stand out and looklike a strange couple and I was less likely to get stared at for beingpregnant.

We went downstairs and Quinn wished us a good morning, he alsohanded me a bottle of pills that I was supposed to take, one a day. Itook the pill and got a bowl and cereal and set them in front of Forest,he just stared at me. I poured the cereal and put milk in it and grabbeda spoon and pushed it in his space. He just groaned at me.

"Eat now Forest, before you're late,” I said before I tried to fix his hair soit looked less like bed head and more as he did brush it. When he wasfinished he washed his bowl and told me he was ready to go. By thetime we got to school, he was late. I walked into the school with himand a bunch of kids that were in the hallways were starring. Joys ofbeing a prince, after all, The principal ran out into the hall to see whatthe problem was. He instantly saw Forest and began to speak to him."Forest Dawson, we need to speak about the comments you made tothe teacher about being too distracted to do your work," the principalsaid. his eyes looking over me a bunch of times as if he was trying tofigure out exactly who I was and why I was here.

"Mr. Craydon, I swear it was the truth,” Forest said, trying to get the guyto understand. I stepped closer to Forest and looked at the principal tosee if he would still make a comment and after a few seconds of nowords I spoke.

"Is there an issue here?" I said softly.

"Ah, you must be his mother Quinn Daw---"

"No, Sorry I'm his mate Thanatos, Now what was his comment aboutbeing distracted.”

The principal looked me over and then spoke, " Forest's excuse wasabout his mate being pregnant, but I can see that was a lie----" I cuthim off.

"Mr. Craydon I am indeed pregnant and you can do all the looking atme you would like, I will even pull up my shirt and show my baby bumpif it would make you much less rude towards my mate," I said, my righthand resting on my hip. I was annoyed.

"I'm sorry Mr..., I didn't quite catch your name”

“My name is Thanatos, Thanatos Alexander”

"Ah, you are a Prince if I am correct.”

"You are."

"Well, It is a pleasure to meet you, your highness, Forest is free to go toclass now, I just wanted to make sure he was telling the truth. I didn'tmean to sound rude or disrespectful.”

" It is more than alright Mr. Craydon & Forest I'll see you later okay ?"

I left the school building and went to visit Emerald's home. When I gotinto their house The demon King Lucca and Queen Emerald were rightat the door waiting for me. Lucca was holding Em back, he finally let goof Emerald when I had gotten my coat and shoes off and the door shut.Emerald raced to me and his hands were on my belly where I knew hewas going to put them.

"Than, I saw the paper today saying you're pregnant, you're one of mynew patients,” Emerald said with joy pouring from his face.

"Oh, I'm glad, Forest will be glad to hear that it's you who will belooking after our pup until birth."

"That better not be a joke Thanatos, " Emerald said, giving me the starehe gives his children.

"No, I'm really happy it's you. Forest shouldn't be so stressed outreplaceing out that you are looking after me." I said rubbing the back ofmy neck.

"I would ask how this happened Thanatos, but I'm not stupid. But onthe subject, how is Forest handling the whole thing?"

"I guess he's alright for now, But he's got school and he's stressedabout this new baby. I don't want him to worry because I knoweverything will be okay.”

"Yeah, That boy is still so young. I understand that at sixteenwerewolves are seen as adults but he's still so young."

"Trust me, I know. We discussed how he even thought he was tooyoung for children and look at where we are now. This is my faultbecause I didn't make him wear a condom and I was the older one. Ishould have made him."

"Thanatos, you can't just blame yourself for this. He is just as much toblame for all of this."

I sat down on one of the couches in Emerald's living room and we justtalked back and forth about so many different things. A lot of what wetalked about was job-related and was mostly all good things. Whichwas always a good thing. Emerald also talked about his boys and howbusy his life had gotten. The funny thing was Emerald was always busy,If he wasn't being a Queen he was bringing life into the world. He wasalways such a positive soul that I loved being around. He had also doneso much for Lucca who before was just smeared by the media. Nowthey looked up to him for being a great leader. It was really nice to see.
