Chapter 198 THE LAUGHTER
FIRA’S POV
The next day, we went to the Red Moon Pack. I was surprised when it was not ruined. There were people who were working together to establish the houses again. My eyes went to Pyro.
“Ember told me, she wants to rule the Red Moon Pack when she grows old. Since there’s no one leading them. I’m planning a surprise for her.”
“You’re such a sweet father.” I intertwined our hands as we were walking towards the people.
“Janus did, too.” He leaned his arm on my shoulder.
It was fun to be back here with Pyro holding my hand. I was so excited to see Ember here. We went around the houses. It seemed the same as the old design.
“You really mold it like our houses?”
“Hmm-hmm. Ember should remember her father.”
My heart was soothing by his words. He should be at least annoyed with Janus because I married him. Pyro was a good man and a good father.
“You may see the throne where Ember should sit.” He guided me to the hall which was composed of gold.
“Wow! It’s more beautiful than the Elemental Kingdom throne.” I looked around. The design was just simple, symbolizing the brave werewolves.
“Can you guess what would be the reaction of Ember?” Pyro was getting clingy. He positioned his body behind me and hugged my belly. “Oh? I forgot. Can we go to the doctor to check if you’re pregnant?”
“No problem, my king.” I faced him and placed my lips on his cheeks. “Ember must be so happy.”
“And that one, too.” He bent down to kiss my stomach.
“We’re not sure yet.”
He pouted his lips. Suddenly, I saw Ember on his features. “I hope we have a little one. I can’t wait to see him.”
“I wish the baby is a male.”
We stayed at the hall, watching the workers to establish the building. We were talking about the baby while waiting for the doctor to come. I just hope it would recognize immediately or if not we were working hard for it again.
“King Fire.”
One of the best doctors was summoned. He bowed his hand to the both of us. We went to the clinic. I was amazed because it was already established. The parts were complete, especially the medical tools.
“Health is wealth so I seek help for Zephyrus to buy those things.” Pyro gestured to me to lay on the bed so the doctor could check me. I was excited when I climbed into it.
I held my breath as we were waiting for the result. Pyro grabbed my hand. He was releasing the tension that I was feeling. We both stared for a doctor and waited for the answer.
“Your Majesty…” He gazed at me ab=nd then to Pyro. I felt like the whole world was slow on motion. My grip on Pyro’s hand tightened. “I suggest a…” He scratched his head, being hesitant if he would continue or not.
“It’s okay. What is it?” King Fire gave him a small smile to ensure that he would not be angry.
“The pulse is normal. She’s…” He opened his mouth and then closed it again. “She’s not yet pregnant, Your Majesty.”
Crap. That can’t be! We tried everything.
“Maybe it was not just visible? It has been a day?” Pyro showed me that it was okay when in fact, it was not. We only had three days. They could not tell if we already had a baby or what.
I tried to smile, but I failed. To be honest, I want another baby. I would like to be married at Pyro immediately. I want to see Ember. She should not hide in the Human World when she had a home at the Elemental Kingdom.
“It’s fine, Dearest. No worries.” Pyro touched my cheek in an up and down direction.
We went home to the elemental Kingdom when the afternoon came. We headed to the library to talk for the kings.
“What!” Hali and Colden covered their faces with their hands. They walked back and forth, in opposite directions while their feets were creating destructible sounds.
Raiden was in front of them, sitting while shaking his head. “Why are you stressed? It’s just a day. Naturally, they’ll not see it now. It takes seven to twelve days after successful implantation of an egg.” Raden shook his head again. He was simply pretty.
“Brilliant mind,” Hali said without energy.
In a second, all of the attention was on him. We were looking at him with a big question mark on his eyes. He had not had any sleep.
“What?” He rose up the corner of his lips. He settled up and turned his back to us. ‘I have something to deal with.”
“Something or someone?” Colden did not mean what he said, but it was all to Hali. I could see it into his eyes.
“Someone. Happy?” Hali’s voice was full of sarcasm. “Farewell. Need to go.”
Pyro tapped his shoulder. He did not say anything, but in his gesture he was comforting his brother. Hali blew a sigh before he left us.
Raiden also stood and grabbed a book. He handed it to Pyro. “Don’t let Fira think too much. Stress can affect the baby. Try to read some kid's story to make her sleep at night.” Raiden glanced at me. “Don’t overthink about Ember, she’s doing good. I visited her today. She was happy, playing with other kids.”
Good to hear that our baby was doing great. That was a relief.
“I missed her.” I glimpsed at Pyro, showing him how cute I was. “Can we go to our baby?”
He came closer to me, fused my hair with his hands. “It’s a no. We must work hard for the second baby.”
“Ahhh!” I was screaming loudly when he lifted me up. I was hitting his shoulder as he walked to the hallway. I was so shy. People were staring at us. Pyro was laughing as he was watching me waving my feet to escape on his grip.
“She’s so lucky.”
“Look at how King Fire laughs.”
“He must be so happy.”
The good comments of the people passing us were putting light in my chest. It was nice to know that they were not talking bad about me or King Fire. Another thorn ease from my heart.
“I’m sure, Dearest. The doctor is just mistaken. So…” Pyro pinched my nose. “Take care of yourself, okay?”
“Why should I?” I climbed on the bed, pulling up my clothes. “You’re there to care about us.”
He climbed on the bed, too, with a grin on his lips. “Are you seducing me?”
“What if I am?”
“Then, get ready for another tiring day, Dearest.”
The sound of our laughter filled the area.
