Fate's Dark Side Chapter 93

"I used to be a midwife. Your complexion, mood swings, extra sensitivity to smell, and constant fatigue are all early signs of pregnancy. If you do not believe me, you can have yourself tested." She said, and I couldn't believe it.

I was a bit jealous because I wanted it to be me. Linda was a baby magnet.

"I have some test strips you can use," Avery told Linda.

"I bought them because Marcel and I are trying," She confessed, and Stephanie looked at me.

"What about you and Sylvester? " Stephanie asked me, and I smiled.

"I am envious of Linda right now because Sylvester and I are eager for this to happen," I confessed, and Stephanie smiled.

"I am eager too. It will be nice to have little Volkovs running about the place. Children always have a way of bringing the home to life."

"Do you all mind being there when I check?" Linda said, sounding a bit nervous, and we all obliged.

Stephanie would be a great friend to me if she wasn't being a protective mother.

We waited in Avery's room while Linda used the toilet.

She came out of the bathroom in tears, and I thought the result was negative, but soon I realised they were joyful tears. She was pregnant. I could not believe it.

Somehow everything that was taken from her had been restored.

At least now, her baby would have a father and not a cowardly runaway warrior who could not stand to fight for the woman he claimed to love.

We congratulated her, and Stephanie and I returned to the alpha wing.

I was feeling a bit down and worried that something might be wrong with me, but I kept it to myself.

"Tomorrow night will be great; make sure he lets you rest," Stephanie advised and hugged me. Then turned to open her door when Glenda approached us. She was in tears, and I wanted to walk away.

"What is it this time?" Stephanie asked, obviously tired of Glenda and Dominic's drama.

They have had a lot of it lately, and it was annoying.

I walked away quickly, not wanting to hear whatever was troubling her.

I returned to my bedroom and decided to run a hot bath to relax.

I applied vanilla salts to the bath and rested in it.

I was nervous about the next day, and I was nervous about my life with Sylvester.

I touched my lower belly with a deep longing wishing today's news was mine to share.

I really wanted to have children with Sylvester. I did not know I was crying until Sylvester walked into the room, and I quickly dried my tears.

I heard him approaching the bathroom and tried to smile.

He walked in and knelt by the bath to kiss me.

"How was your day?" he asked, and I smiled at him.

"Hectic, but I had help, especially from your mother," I said, and he smiled at me.

"Glad to see you two are getting along," he said and started undressing to join me in the bath.

"Vanilla isn't so bad when you are covered in it," he said, and I giggled and scooped some of the foam and blew it in his direction.

We soaked together in the bath and returned to the room to dress for dinner.

We were having dinner with our friends in the small dining room. Sylvester remained adamant that he would not eat with his mother and brother.

I planned on talking to him to reconsider after the engagement dinner.

When we got to the room, I noticed Linda and Theodore were not sitting closely.

It was clear she hadn't told him, and I did not know why. I guess she was afraid of his reaction.

I wouldn't blame her. The last guy ran away.

Although Theodore wouldn't run, she was afraid he might not be ready. I could see it in her eyes.

The food was served, and I decided I would break the awkwardness between them.

"So, are you two going to Vino's party together?" I asked, and Linda frowned at me.

"No," Theodore said, and I realised they were yet to reconcile, so I wondered what they did in their room.

"It is a shame," I said, and Sylvester placed his hand on my thigh to stay out of it, but I refused.

"It will be wrong to leave a pregnant woman alone in the mansion," I said, and Theodore stopped eating.
