Chapter 93 - The Search - Part Three

"Mind your business, Meredith!" I scowl turning to face her with a deadly glare.

"Stop it already Meredith, please" Betty whispers.

"What do you guys know that I don't? Why do you stop her each time she asks me strange questions?" I holler looking at both Roland and Betty. 

They were looking nervous and I can't explain why.

"Will you two start talking?" I said angrily taking a step closer to them.

"Um... Nancy nothing we just don't want her upsetting you with her silly questions" Roland stumbled.

"Yes, Nancy what can we hide from you?" Betty whimpered after taking a deep breath.

"Start talking and I want the truth, what...are...you...hiding?" My hoarse voice echoed in the dark forest.

"You might be with a child Nancy, and if that is true, you might die because... because you are human. A human carrying you know a .. werewolf child is ...is" Betty pouts in one breath looking at me all nervous.

"Okay, Betty relax," Roland said pulling her in his arms.

"Who said I'm pregnant?" I chuckled rolling my eyes.

"So you are not?" Betty replies almost letting out a relieved breath.

"You think I am?" I asked as my eyes widened. My mind immediately went back to my last night with Baby, my strange craves, my constant anger and fighting with Zenab, and just now I killed someone without blinking and the sight of his blood didn't scare me. I even beat up all of Fidel's men.

I begin to doubt myself, could all this be as a result of having a super being growing inside of me.

A light smile hit my face as my eyes sparkled. "I'm with a child" I murder robbing my stomach in circles.

"It might all be just a coincidence okay" Roland whispered. Of course, they are worried, this is like a death sentence but strangely I only thought of how this will save Baby and his position as the alpha of his pack.

He will soon have an heir. My heart vaulted in excitement.

"What is there to be happy about?" Roland scoffs. The lit of joy on my face couldn't be hidden from them.

"You could die even before, you put to bed. Your body is too weak to carry such a baby" Meredith said, she had no expression on her face.

Roland and Betty look at me with somber eyes.

"Are you ready to give up your life, for that thing you are carrying in your belly? No offense I like Baby a lot but I like you more, you have so much potential that I will love to be your mentor" she grunts.

"Huh!" I holler.

how dare you refer to my baby as a 'thing'? Look here witch, I don't even what to see your face much less let you mentor me shhss" I grumbled leaving them behind.

"This is bad? How do we talk her out when she is excited to have that baby?" Roland whisper.

"You think of a way" 

"Stop you all, you are not trying to kill her baby right? Or convince her to give up on her child?" Betty whimpers.

"I can hear you guys" I muttered still hamming excitedly.

Later I could hear the sound of their footsteps behind me.

I was surprised to see such a nice house in the middle of nowhere, I couldn't believe the cold dusky forest could have such a beautiful modern house.

First of all, it was sealed.

Meredith had to lift the Vail before we could see the house.

When we entered the spacious hall that could easily accommodate big groups, I was awe by the all-white interior decor. It was a classic. 

"Oh wow!" Betty awes as her eyes travel around.

The owner of the house must have great taste. 

There were few paintings hung on the ways.

I shift my attention to Meredith who for some reason has stared at me awkwardly.

"Which room is she in?" I grin. After a long search, I have finally found him.

I couldn't hide my excitement.

"Upset, first door on your right" she whispers.

I took off immediately.

"You two wait for her here" I hear Meredith telling Roland and Betty to stay behind. 

Without blinking I pushed the door open, I don't know how I managed to control my anger after what I saw.

"You can put on your clothes now," I said in a hoarse voice but calmly. I could hear footsteps running on the staircase.

I looked at the door behind me.

"What are you doing here?" she rolled her eyes.

I'm impressed with how I'm handling this so well.

"He has been like this for days, I come by to warm his body up" she slyly explains.

"I didn't ask you anything, no need to explain" I pout folding my arms around my chest. I'm too excited to let her spoil it for me.

"Nancy, I don't want you misunderstanding us again?" She gulps.

"I said get dressed!" I yell then cool down again.

I only wanted her out of Baby's side.

She was still standing still confused by my actions. I was supposed to be throwing tantrums right now. 

Yeah, I like to surprise people and strick when they least expect.

I walk to her and push her aside as I focus my attention on Baby who was laying on the bed.

I look at him with excitement as I run my hands through his hair.

"I know you will be alive because you can't bear to leave me" I whisper in his ears.

"Are you still standing there?" I pout raising one eyebrow.

Nicole chuckles and walks to the door. She opens it and was about to leave. Meredith, Roland, and Betty were right behind the door with their ears close to the door.

As soon as Nicole opens the door they stumbled in.

"Wait Nicole, I want you to be our witness, Baby and I are getting married," I said with a giggle as they both stared at me as if I was going nuts.

"What!" Roland and Betty exclaimed.

"Yes guys, Meredith get everything ready and be sure to get the priests here, like now!" I said almost ordering her with my hands still in Baby's hair.

"You will like that, won't you? I'm sorry I kept postponing our wedding" I sniff as a single drop of tears escape from my eyes.

I quickly hide it and wear a smile before lifting my head to look at their faces.

"Why are you still standing there, get moving people?" I said.

"As you wish" Meredith responded as she leaves to prepare everything.

I smiled at Betty who still look lost.

Meredith arrived with the priest and the things for the marriage rituals.

I didn't mind getting married in the clothes are were in and with Baby still unconscious.

"Well we got you a wedding gift," a voice said. I swiftly turn to see Norinika and Deminika at the door with Norinika holding a beautiful white lace wedding dress with detached peals on them.

It was perfect. They help me wear it as Betty makes me crown made with flowers.

"You look gorgeous, bestie" Betty sobs hugging me from behind.

I give her a warm smile. 

"Well, I suppose you are ready for this madness you call wedding good luck with it" Deminika mumbles as Norinika elbows her to stop.

"Yes I'm ready" I grin ignoring her mean words. She has always been like that.

I walk back to the room to see Baby dressed up in a suit with his hair neatly combed. I couldn't hide my tears when I saw him. I wish he will wake up.

"We can't let our brother get married looking a mess" Branson whispers as he and Justin stand beside Baby.

"Ready now," I said taking in a deep breath.

"Well, you still have time to change your mind" Roland mumbles, holding a bouquet of flowers.

"That's not happening" I mutter as he hands me the flowers. He force a smile holding my hands, he whispers how beautiful I was looking before letting go.

I took my seat next to Baby's bed as the priest starts the ceremony.

It was a short one and I'm glad I had my loved ones with me. 

"I pronounced you husband and wife!" The priest announced after we had finished performing the rituals.

We didn't exchange vows obviously my husband is still in a coma.

"Okay, thanks to everyone for coming, my husband...wow yeah I love the sound of that, my husband and I will like to thank you for being here now you can leave," I said slyly changing my happy face almost immediately to a serious one.

Only Betty and Norinika were truly happy for us the rest are just there for show.

"Nancy is almost morning we need to head back home" Roland pouts trying to pull me away.

"What do you mean go back home? In case you have forgotten tonight is my wedding night" I grumbled.

"Please tell her she can't stay here," Roland said turning to face Meredith.

"Yes Nancy, you can't stay here," Meredith said.

"Why not? But she can?" I said pointing at Nicole.

"Alright everyone calm down, Nancy you will die even before that baby is born, if you want to have this baby fine, I can help you" she pouts focusing on me. 

"I'm listening"

"We can take the baby out once it starts growing and keep it in an incubator" she proposed.

"Isn't that directly rearing a monster, so you can inject it with all kinds of things just to turn it into a powerful weapon" Roland scoffs.

"Is your intention real Meredith? Or you have an interior motive?" I angrily glare at her.

"No Nancy I'm only thinking about you, alright great wizard what other options do we have?" Meredith asked turning to face Roland as everyone's eyes gaze directed on him.

"We could take the baby out and implement it another body strong enough to give birth to it safely" he explained walking to me.

"Nancy, the baby will be safe and you will be safe. Don't worry the baby will have you and Baby's blood and DNA" be said almost convincing.

"How is that possible?" My eyes widened.

"With magic everything is possible" he replied taking my hands in his, he was genuinely worried about me.

"Okay but..." I murmur.

"You don't have to worry about anything I will find the human incubator to carry your baby for you, trust me," he said nodding his head.

"I can be that incubator," Nicole said as everyone turns to look at her.

"Yes, listen you don't have much time, the baby is developing and it's not like humans that it takes 9 months to give birth" she pouts.

"She is right Nancy, we don't have time," Roland said holding my hand.

"But...."

"I'm sure if Baby was awake he will have to opt for the same thing" Justin whispered in agreement. 

"Fine let's do it," I said looking at Baby. I hope I'm making the right choice right now.

"I will go get everything ready" Meredith whispers.

"I'm coming with you" Norinika rumbles as she and Deminika go with her.

I was nervous and it's true I could feel my baby growing bigger in me every minute. 

My body was collapsing because the baby is unable to develop as it should.

A few minutes later both Nicole and I were laid on different tables close to each other.

Roland, Deminika, and Norinika start the rituals of transferring the baby from my body to Nicole's body.

It was scary and painful. Everyone watch in horror.

I felt a part of me was being scooped.
