ZINA (A Year Later)
Six months ago after the day she was reunited with Daemon, Zina found out that she was pregnant. The announcement coming from the stern-faced, snappy Healer of the Pack.
The woman's features were soft, lips slightly parted in awe and eyes lifted to Zina as if to convey the truth and sincerity in her words.
"You're two weeks pregnant, Your Majesty." She had repeated when Zina remained motionless and silent.
She had been waiting for that day. Praying for it even though she tried to pretend that it didn't matter to her much. That her impatience was not nearly high enough…yet.
But those undid her that day.
"Are you sure?" She asked the older woman, "could it not be a false alarm? Fever and queasiness can be associated with other illnesses no?"
The woman frowned. "You question my expertise, my queen. But I assure you that you've missed your period well over by three weeks. And the other symptoms are on point. You are pregnant."
