~Amara~My heart raced wildly against my ribcage because I didn't know what to expect at the moment.I just hoped that my doubts weren't true.I spent the whole day lost in my own world and I couldn't focus on studies.Nico and Luke tried to ask me what was wrong but I lied to them since I wasn't sure of my doubts yet.My mind returned to the present when the timer rang.My heart heartbeat only increased and my breathing as well.I closed my eyes and heaved a deep sigh to calm down my racing heart.“It's going to be okay,Amara.It's going to be okay.”I encouraged myself for a hundredth time.I extended my shaky hand to the counter to pick the pregnancy test kit.However,I couldn't bring myself to look at it immediately since I didn't have the courage to do so at the moment.I took a few deep breaths as I prepared myself for the results.I held my breath then slowly, opened my hand to see the results and…I froze in place.There were two red lines.Now everything made sense.I have been feeling
~Amara~“What about…”“Listen to me, Amara.”Nico said and I stopped talking for a while.I just hoped that he would answer most of my questions that I had asked him.“I know it's wrong that we went against our parents advice.”Nico was quiet for a while.“It's because we love each other so much and…we couldn't hold back no matter how much we tried.”Nico paused and heaved a deep sigh.I nodded my head vigorously to his words because it was true.We tried our best to hold back but…we couldn't because the pull was too strong to resist.Each time Nico touched me,he set my body on fire and I longed for more of his touches.I wanted him to continue touching me and do something more than just a touch.“I don't regret any moment that we made love and never would I even if it's a mistake.”His lips curved into a warm smile and he wiped tears from my eyes.“And this…”Nico took the pregnancy test kit from my hand and looked at it carefully,as though he hadn't seen it in the first place.“Is proof tha
~Amara~My grip on Nico's hand only tightened and I could hear my heart thumping in my ear.Dad creased his eyebrows in confusion and so was everyone at the table, except Nico and I who knew what was going on.“And…what is it?”Mom asked hesitantly and I felt worry and concern in her voice.“Amara and I…”Nico turned his head gently to look at me and I flashed him a polite smile even though I felt like running away at the moment.“We are expecting.Amara is pregnant.”Nico finally said the words that I found too hard to tell our parents.I subconsciously squeezed Nico's hand as it was gravely silent in the dining hall.From the corner of my eyes,I saw our parents and grandma surprised and speechless.I lowered my head in guilt as I couldn't bring myself to look them straight in the eyes.“We are sorry.''I whispered under my breath but loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.I felt ashamed of myself because I got pregnant while still in school.It was still silent when the dining room
~Amara~I lowered my head because I was afraid to look my Dad straight in the eyes.“I'm sorry.”I said in a low voice but loud enough for my Dad to hear what I had just said.I felt the need to apologise to him because I went against his advice.All I had to do was be a good girl and behave myself but…I let the desires of my body get the better of me and ended being pregnant…It was quiet for a while and I heard Dad heave a deep sigh then walked to the couch where I was seated.I didn't dare to raise my head to look at Dad even when I felt the cushion beside me deepened as Dad sat next to me.It was still quiet.”It's okay.''Dad said and I couldn't believe what he had just said.I thought that he would be mad at me because I didn't follow his advice.I thought that he would be ashamed of me because I'm pregnant at a young age and still in school.It would be better if I was a common member of my kingdom but…I'm the king's daughter.“You…are not ashamed of me or mad?”I asked hesitantly as
~Amara~I couldn't stop myself from asking Nico if he would stay with me till the morning because I'm used to waking up to a cold and empty space beside me.Nico's lips curved into a smile,”I will stay till the morning.”He said then planted a kiss on my forehead.The worry in my heart vanished and it was replaced by happiness.“I think…there is no need to hide anymore because our parents already know that we have been doing it behind their backs.”A wicked smile graced his lips.I felt guilty when Nico reminded me about how we used to lie in our parent's faces and pretend to be good kids.“Come on,you need to get some rest.”He laid beside me then pulled me in his arms and my lips curved into a smile.I wrapped my hands around him so tightly._______________Just like always,I woke up to the annoying noise of the alarm and a groan left my lips in annoyance.“Good morning my love.”Nico said with a smile on his face and planted a kiss on my hair.How was I supposed to remain annoyed when I
~Amara~Nico nodded to my words and I could tell that he was so happy to inform Luke about it since he is our best friend.Luke looked at Nico then looked at me.“And...what is it?”He asked doubtfully as though he was afraid that it might be bad news or something.“We are expecting.I'm pregnant.”Luke was surprised when he heard my words but composed himself immediately then smiled.“You have beat me on that,bro.”He teased Nico and he chuckled proudly.”Congratulations Amara.”Luke said happily and we hugged.Nico didn't growl in my head because he was used to Luke and I hugging.“Congratulations bro.”Luke patted Nico on the shoulder and he nodded in acceptance.“I'm happy for the both of you, really happy.I will become the godfather.”Luke declared and there was no debate about it.Alexander came soon after and the car pulled off instantly and it took us a few minutes to arrive on campus.Nico and I headed to a biology class. He held my hand possessively as we walked down the hallway and
Chapter 150~Amara~I subconsciously squeezed Nico's hand since I was worried as well.I didn't have any idea that I have been pregnant for one month and two weeks.The Gynecologist's lips curved into a smile,”You don't need to worry about anything because the pregnancy doesn't have any complications.''A sigh of relief escaped my lips when I heard the doctor's words.Nico turned his head to look at me then smiled,”Did you hear that? Our baby is healthy.You have done a good job in taking care of our baby,Amara.”Nico said in a lovely voice then pecked me on the lips.For a moment,we got lost in each other's eyes.We turned to look at the lady when she cleared her throat to capture our attention.“Incase you feel any discomfort or any pain,inform me immediately and we will check what's the problem.”She explained to us and I nodded in understanding.“Thank you for checking on my mate, doctor.We will keep everything that you have told us in consideration and we will be careful.”Nico looked at
~Amara~“Wow, congratulations.”Sandra's lips curved into a smile.Her eyes shifted from my belly and now she was looking at me.The smile on her face faded subtly and now it was replaced by a deadly look which made my heart pound wildly against my ribcage.I just knew it,Sandra is not someone to be trusted even a little bit.That is why I didn't react when she congratulated me.There was no way she was going to be happy for me knowing damn well that I was carrying Nico's child.“Please don't hurt my baby.”My grip around my belly tightened as I tried to plead with her.“You can do anything to me but…please don't involve my baby.”I couldn't help but plead once again.I could tell that she was thinking about something evil even though I didn't have any idea what she was thinking about.I had a bad feeling about everything and I couldn't help it but felt like running away at the moment.To run for my dear life and our baby's.Sandra has tried to hurt me countless times.Her lips curved into a s
