Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Daisy's POV

"You're pregnant"

"What!!!" My eyes bulged as I stared at the nurse in front of me, her smile was uncertain as if she wasn't too sure whether to congratulate me or not

"Your test result shows that you are pregnant, three weeks have gone already, the nausea, fatigue, and fever you have been feeling is as a result of this".

I stared at the nurse standing in front of me, I was rendered speechless by this news, pregnant? No, how can I be pregnant at eighteen? What will happen to my college? My scholarship, I feel so scared right now and it must have reflected on my face because the nurse stared at me with pity and patted my shoulders before walking away.

This has to be a dream, for the past weeks, I have been feeling sick, nausea at every slightest smell, and fatigued almost all the time that I even got shouted at by my boss, I thought it was just a flu and will be fine, but when the week past by and it still does not look like I'll be fine soon, I decided to visit the hospital on my way to my place of work. What do I do? I felt panicked for a moment but took two deep breaths, I have to tell Aires that I am pregnant for him, and then it hit me, I am carrying Aires' child, I suddenly felt a little spurt of joy but it immediately flew off the window when another thought hits me, 'what if... He denies it? What do I do? I punched his number but it went straight to voicemail, where the hell is he now that I needed him so badly? I wonder how he will feel, well, he better get ready to take responsibility for it.

My hand unconsciously went to my stomach, gently cradling it as walked to my working place, It's no longer just me, now, I have someone else to look after. This little being growing inside of me.

As always, the bar was crowded with customers, I have been on my feet all day at it was hurting already, I knew that at this time, I had to take it easy but what other option do I have? I have to earn, not just for me but for my unborn child, I still haven't been able to contact Aires, I wonder what's up with him.

"Daisy, get your ass down here", my boss hollered and I walked towards him but suddenly got a little bit dizzy, I held onto the table in front of me as the wave passed through me.

"Are you okay?" A vaguely familiar voice asked and my gaze met with stormy grey eyes with rims of gold. Aires, no, not Aires, this is his look-alike that had saved me the other day. I opened my mouth to reply but was suddenly interrupted by my boss.

"What the hell are you still doing over here, didn't you hear when I called? Are you stupid or something?"

"Don't you dare talk to her that way", someone snarled from behind my boss before coming into view, Aires, how did he know I work here? Of course, he knows everything about me, which means, he had deliberately stayed away from me these past few days.

"And who the hell are you to tell me how to speak to my employee?" My boss snapped

Aires slowly came and stood beside me, taking my hand in his and holding it firmly, "I am someone who will teach you to respect everyone, whether they are just your employee or not"

"Get back to work if you do not want to be fired" my boss clenched out, glaring at me.

I made to move but Aires tightened his hold on me, "you ain't going anywhere "

"But..."

"I said to stay put", Aires snapped, his eyes all molten. An indication that he is very angry.

Goodness, I do not need this right now, my head is pounding furiously and this job is all I have, getting a new job will be difficult, most especially, when still in college, I do not want to lose the one I already have and at the same time, I'm too tired to argue within Aires.

"You're fired," my boss said before stomping away

"Please..."

"You're coming with me, right now", Aires clenched out before dragging me along with him.

I wrenched my hand away from his hold when we got outside, "what are you doing? You just got me fired", I said, feeling distraught by the whole drama, Aires didn't say anything, he simply went closer to the wall and punched it severally,

"Aires, what are you doing?" I was alarmed by how angry he is, "you're bleeding", I stated, taking his hand and staring at his bruised knuckles but he simply snatched his hand away from my hold.

"I hate it when you act this way, why make yourself look so pathetic all the time? Why must you take insult from someone?" He clenched out and my heart constricted

"What do you expect me to do? Act stubborn and lose my job?"

"Act with dignity is all I ask" he yelled, "there are other jobs out there, you just want to act pathetic, that's why you're still here"

His words hurt deeply, and tears sprang to my eyes, "yeah, I am pathetic and probably will always be, I can't even do anything when I am being bullied, go ahead and mock me, perhaps I got used to being bullied because all my life I have always been bullied. Satisfied? Thanks for making me lose my job", by now, I was already sobbing uncontrollably, my life is always in such a mess, I thought moving out from Celine and her dad will make things easier but no, life just always sucks and there's nothing I can do to change it, I just have to keep on living.

Angrily, I stomped away from him but he grabbed me before I could go two steps, he looked a bit chastised, although, still very much angry

"I didn't mean it that way, I just do not like it when you're treated in such a way"

I stared at him and allowed the lone tear to trickle down my cheeks, using his thumb, he gently wiped them away, his gaze tender, "can we go somewhere?" He suddenly asked and I sniffed a bit, giving in to this gentle side of him.

I nodded but first, I need to tell him that I am pregnant, I fidgeted a little, feeling nervous all of a sudden, "I...I...need to tell you something"

He nodded and grabbed my hand, he started moving towards his car, "I'll listen to all you have to say but first, we need to get going, I have something to tell you too"

Was it me or did his voice hold an underlying meaning? I felt a quiver in my stomach as I followed him to his car

"Where are we going and what's the occasion?" I asked and he looked at me with an unnamed expression

"It's my birthday and I want to celebrate it with my girl"

Damn, how can I forget his birthday when he always remembers mine? My cheeks warm when he referred to me as 'his girl

He paused and stared deep into my eyes, "today, I'll announce to the world that you're mine and mine alone and nothing and no one can stop it this time"

I frowned, "this time?"

His gaze became blank as he started moving towards his car, "yeah, this time. Get in the car" he said, opening the car door, I wonder what he meant by that, I'll definitely ask him about it.

[Author's POV]

Dylan watched as they both drove away, "Aidan, my son" he whispered, he has no doubt that the boy he had just seen defending that girl is his son, the resemblance is so striking, his eyes so much like his own, he has finally found his son. He wondered briefly about his son's relationship with that girl, he has a feeling that they are more than just friends, and that got him a bit worried, he didn't perceive any wolf in his son, what if when he finally turns to a wolf and another girl is his mate? It's going to be a new moon in a few hours, if the change did not occur then, it simply means that he is not a werewolf, only time will tell, in a few hours, he should be able to know if his son is a werewolf or not.

Following their scent, he started tracing them to their destination. A wolf or not, his son will follow him back to his pack.
