Chapter 48 - Annihilator's Claret

He stood there, moments chipped away frozen and completely stilled. I braced myself for his reaction. I knew it wasn't fair to him, he hadn't deserved it neither had he deserved the way I had told him about it. He stood there looking at me with his face completely pale, every drop of blood drained out of it.

But after what had just happened, I couldn't wait or take any risk of not telling him now. This was something he had to know.

I had no idea when the tears in my eyes had turned from joyful ones to fearful ones. I didn't know what I was expecting. Maybe he would promise to pay me and financially support the child, because I knew he was too honorable to just leave me alone. He was too fierce a protector for that.

Maybe he would leave me to my parent's home and send someone to take care of me. Almost instantly our entire future spun right in front of me. Maybe he would meet our child on her or his sixteenth birthday and give him his lessons to life? Maybe... there were so many maybe's completely draining my mind. I couldn't stand the silence any longer.

I pushed again hoping that somewhere within him, he would find a response to this, because I needed to know, just rest my self and assure myself with some sort of response, no matter how harsh it was going to be.

At least it was going to be something! My inner voice tried to assure myself directing to the rest scare about Nathan's death. It was clearly not helping, because I was still shaking in fear.

"Nathan..." I prompted him again, but my voice barely passed my lips. I was choking on my own apprehension. But the whisper, the breath was enough to get him out of his death trip. I would say death trip because that was exactly how he looked.

He opened his mouth in response, after some time of trying to form his thoughts. I closed my eyes, holding myself for the cruelty of the next moment. Vaguely aware how my life had become the roller coaster of emotions which seemed to be climaxing right about now.

Even as we stood there, I had no recollection of our environment, where we were or what was going on around us. I just stood there, waiting for Nathan to say the words that would define the rest of my life.

Exhaling loudly, he looked at me again and asked, "Come again?" almost wanting to smack him, I repeated myself more patiently, and slowly so this time he hear me properly and finally give his decision. It was funny how moments ago he was the one waiting for my verdict, and now it was I on the receiving end.

"I am pregnant Nathan" this time I said more assertively. I knew he had heard me clearly enough, and believed it too. He could not have ruled this time out as his imagination. Slowly, I could see him actually believing it. He slowly opened his mouth again, and again I waited, waited for him to say something.
