Chapter 11: Indecent Proposal
I am feeling extremely overwhelmed about the news that I found out. I never expected something like this would happen so fast. I took a glance on Vigor who’s talking with Leo on the outside, while they let me stay alone inside the clinic looking at the printed ultrasound where a child is growing on the inside of my body.
I touched the surface of my stomach and I only noticed it but I already had bumps. I thought I was just gaining weight because I am staying home, quarantined but I never expected it to be like this.
I couldn’t help but smile and just closed my eyes because my parents would definitely be happy from this news.
…
THIRD PERSON’S POV
“Are you crazy? Do you intend to keep her inside the human’s habitats?” Angrily, Leo looked at Vigor.
He knows the fact that Vigor is definitely someone who isn’t treated like that but he doesn’t care. They grew up together.
“I have no choice. If Pyress tells her parents, they wouldn’t let their daughter be with me especially about what happened.” He said angrily too.
“Marry her.” Leo said as if it’s all that easy.
Vigor froze for some time and think about it. It’s been a tradition to the humans that after marriage, she is intended to live with her husband.
“If she gives birth, we don’t know what the baby’s form will be. We have to be extra careful about it.” Leo added when he couldn’t answer.
Vigor clenched his jaws and glance to the clinic where his mate was dreamily smiling while looking at the small printed paper. His heart softens, but after sometime, he take a look at Leo.
He activated his telepathy among his brethren and spoke inside their heads. Those who can hear him were those who have his blood.
“Prepare for the wedding feast. I will take home a wife in the next full moon.”
Upon looking at Leo which in front of him, a ghost of smirk was trying to let go off his face.

PYRESS’ POV
On our way home, I didn’t expect Vigor to ask me that he wanted to talk to my parents. Well, it should be normal, right? Because we are pregnant and I guess, we are going to have our own version of family, right?
That idea made me blush. I don’t know, maybe in great excitement or in great embarrassment. It’s awkward to think that we will finally be a Mommy and Daddy?
I cringe in that part, so I didn’t notice that I am already kicking my feet and covering my face.
“Are you okay?” Vigor asked me, he even stopped the car in the middle of the road.
“No no! I am fine.” I assured him.
He creased his forehead confusedly and leaned to check my face. “Your face is red.” He whispered so close on my face.
I gulped when I felt that electricity flow in my veins the moment his breath touched my skin.
“Y-yes, love.” I assured him again.
He nodded, but he didn’t widraw from his position. Instead, he lifts my chin up and kissed my lips.
“U-uhm, do you think it’s too fast?” My mom butt in.
“Mummy,” I whispered as a sign to let Vigor.
“She’s five weeks pregnant.” He said out of nowhere that this time made me gasp too.
What the hell? Why did they tell them immediately! I wanted to surprise them!
“WHAT?!” My dad’s reaction sounded like he wanted to skin Vigor alive. He stood up and face my boyfriend closely.
“Darling, stop.” My mom stood up too and held my dad.
“I’m surprised, but we must talk about this properly, come back tomorrow.” My mom calmly said but I can see shock in her voice as well.
“I will marry her, and I will take her with me. Good evening.” Vigor said that left my parent’s jaw drop.
I almost fell on the floor of what he said.
Why does it sound like he is declaring it rather than asking for permission?! The way he said it, it would be 50% to win my parent’s approval.
Ugh, this damn cold-blooded human!
“Love, let’s talk.” I just said before pulling him out of the house.
