Chapter 56: Chapter 56

Aaron Pov's

.

After finishing our dinner, Aana gets the plate together to take them out. That's when I held her hand. She looked at me abruptly.

"You don't need to pick them up. I will keep all this in the kitchen" I muttered and was about to take the plate from her hand but she took her hand back.

"No need... You did enough for me. I don't need your favours." She said, looking at me with complaining eyes. I scrunch my eyebrows, not able to understand what she meant.

"I--- I didn't get what you mean?"

"You are planning to snatch my baby away from me... Wasn't it enough that now you wanted to tell everyone about our relationship." She scoffed

"What is wrong in telling anyone about us? Are you afraid that they will come to know about your infidelity and that your so-called good image which you maintain in front of them will get ruined." I snarled.

"You have gone insane in your anger, Aaron. I can't even imagine how Aunt would have reacted if she came to know that you're my husband." She said agitatedly.

"No," I said, interrupting her in between. "I'm not your husband.. if you can't say that to anyone who I'm to you then there is no need to build any relationship between us. I'm just a father of MY BABY" I muttered, emphasising the word. Tears brimmed in her eyes hearing my words. She turned her face in another direction and her eyes widened as she saw a ghost. I followed her gaze and found her boyfriend standing at the door, listening to our talk.

"Your boyfriend can't stay a minute away from you," I muttered and went towards him, keeping my hand in the pocket of my pants, not wanting to punch his handsome face in jealousy. I hate it when he shows that he has a right over my girl.

"Yes, I can't stay away from her... especially when she is with a jerk like you" He hissed. I was about to hold his collar in anger but Aana came in between. she glared at Stefan before turning her head towards me.

"I'm sorry on behalf of him," Aana muttered and turned towards Stefan.

"What are you doing here?" She asked. Stefan didn't say anything and looked at her arms. He turned his head towards me, shooting a death glare at me.

"She is the reason why I'm silent otherwise even I don't know what I have done with you for hurting her" He scrawled. I wish he would have punched and punished me for hurting her instead of passing dialogue.

"Stefan" we heard Aunt Jennifer's voice, who was coming to our side holding a blanket in her hand.

"This is for you, Aaron. Since the weather has changed drastically, you will need it" I nodded my head and took a blanket from her hand. I kept it on the side table and looked at Aana who was lost in her thoughts.

"I'm not saying anything that doesn't mean I will let you traumatise her" Stefan muttered. Before I could say something to him, Aana held my hand and then nodded her head in no.

"What is happening over here?" Aunt asked, looking at Stefan who was fuming in anger.

"It's not your fault brother. Once I was in your place and used to get angry at people who even think of hurting her without listening to other people's stories. After her betrayal, I realised how foolish I was." I muttered looking at Aana.

"Aunt please take Stefan away from here" Aana mumbled before turning her head towards me. She held my hand and dragged me to the side, near the door of my room.

"Please don't create a scene in front of Aunt. I don't want her to know anything about us" She mumbled.

"You made my life like a drama and I can't even create a scene" I laughed sarcastically.

"There is no use in saying anything to you," She muttered. She turned her head in another direction. I bit my cheeks not to say anything rude to her. There was a time when she used to tag me as 'her' without any hesitation and now she can't even tell her aunt that she was pregnant with me.

I heard Aana sighing when she found Aunt Jennifer getting busy with Stefan. I looked in their direction and that's when I realised why she didn't want Aunt to know about me. Aunt Jennifer is Stefan's mom and Aana is afraid that my relationship with her might get her love life with Stefan in trouble. I smirked, finding the reason for her fear. I leaned close to her when she was looking in Stefan's direction.

"Afraid that your dirty secret will come out" I whisper in her ear. she got startled because of my action and as a reaction she moved back, unaware of the small stair behind her, resulting in her leg getting twisted. Thankfully I held her by her waist before she fell to the ground. Stefan and Aunt gasped and ran toward us. I made Aana stand properly. She was still shocked and shivering because of fear... Fear of what would happen if she should have fallen... We might have lost our child...

"What the fuck I'm thinking" I cursed myself for thinking rubbish. Stefan pulled Aana towards him holding her shoulder. Aana looked at him dumb-headed and then touched her stomach. Tears fell from her eyes. We both are shocked because of whatever happened.

"Are you okay?" Stefan asked.

"My baby" Aana muttered and more tears started falling from her eyes.

"Aana... it's okay. Aaron holds you on time... You and baby, both are safe. Relax" Aunt Jennifer said, trying to calm Aana. She was not able to accommodate whatever happened but at the same time got scared for her baby. I moved towards her and was about to touch her cheeks when she shoved my hand away. If I am feeling guilty for scaring her that she moved back then I am also angry with myself for acting like a child. She was about to slip because of my stupidity. I should have been careful around her.

"Aana… I'm" Before I could apologise to her for scaring her, she tightly slapped my right cheek. My jaw shook and I felt a slight burning sensation. I was shocked at her reaction and strength but at the same time, I know I deserve this for the action I played and it was a slap from a mother who was about to lose everything because of me.

"Dare you" she growled...

"Dare you to come close to me" She warned me. Her eyes turned red because of anger and tears. She was shaking in fear for her baby but at the same time, warning me fiercely. Maybe that's what we call a mother who becomes a shield if needed to protect her child. I bowed my eyelids in shame.

"Do you have any idea Aaron what would have happened right now?" She asked at the top of her voice.

"because of your stupid exasperation and jealousy, I might have lost"

"Aana don't" I interrupted her. "Don't say something like this and yes, I have realised my mistake and what would have happened because of the stupidity I did. I'm sorry"

"Sorry" she raised her hand to hit me again and in response, I closed my eyes waiting for it. I opened my eyes when I didn't feel anything. Aana was breathing heavily and her one hand was still in the air. She took her hand back and then looked at me with teary eyes.

"I can't lose my child Aaron. please go away from here… please… If you stay here then one day or other I will lose my child because of you" She muttered and touched her stomach with one hand. I arched my eyebrow hearing words. what does she mean that she will lose her child because of me? What does she think of me?

"What do you mean you will lose your child because of me? You think I will harm my baby?" I asked shockingly.

She didn't reply and held her stomach with both hands... Don't know why I'm not getting a good feeling… Like she is not okay. I was about to hold her hand but she moved back.

"Stay away... stay away from my child" She growled and then tightened her lips like she was in pain.

"Are you okay?" I asked anxiously.

"Aah" She yelped in pain

"Aana" I went closer to her to hold her but she pushed me away.

"Don't touch my baby... You will snatch... Aah," She screamed this time...

"Aah," She shrieked and almost lost her balance. Thankfully Stefan held her from behind.

"Aah... Stefan... My baby... It's twinging… My baby" She cried.

"It doesn't seem like normal pain Stefan.. we should take her to the hospital" Aunt Jennifer suggested. He nodded his head and picked Aana in his arms then rushed towards his car. Aunt Jennifer and I followed him. Aunt sat back with Aana in the back seat. Aana was shrinking in pain. Her every drop of tear made my heart quiver in fear. I was about to sit in the front seat when Stefan pushed me away.

"didn't you hear what she said to you... Stay away" He growled at my face and then went to the driving seat. Before I could do or say something he sat in the driving seat and started driving towards the hospital.

"What the fuck just happened, Rex?" A tear fell from my eyes and that's when Aana's gynaecologist words rang into my ear which she told me when I was about to leave her cabin.

"Aana's condition is not good, Aaron. There is a high risk of miscarriage. Keep her happy and away from stress as much as possible. Otherwise" I didn't let her complete those wretched words and rush out of the cabin but now when I'm remembering those words and Aana's current situation. He shuddered my soul.

"I bungle up Rex... God... My baby" I morphed into a wolf and started running towards the hospital… Praying to the moon goddess to keep our baby safe.
