I stared at the little plastic test in my hands, blinking hard to make sure I was reading it correctly.
Two pink lines.
Two very clear, very definite pink lines.
"Oh," I whispered to the empty bathroom. "Oh my God."
My legs suddenly felt shaky. I sat down on the edge of the bathtub, still holding the test like it might disappear if I looked away. Two weeks of feeling tired, of food smells making me queasy, of crying at completely normal pack meeting discussions. I'd assumed it was stress from the international responsibilities, maybe delayed reaction to everything we'd been through.
I hadn't even considered...
"Aria?" Kai's voice came through the bathroom door. "You okay in there? You've been... quiet this morning."
I opened my mouth to answer, but no sound came out. How do you tell your husband of four months that you're carrying his child? How do you announce that the Moon Goddess bloodline is continuing into the next generation?
