You Bare My Mark ( My Mate Series) novel Chapter 52

08 - Chapter Eight - Thanatos Alexander's Point Of View

It was quite an ugly day when I got up, there was nothing in the world that made me want to get out of bed. Forest was sound asleep, I was tucked against his side. He is my own personal heater, it was like a sauna under the blankets. I could hear Quinn and Kane downstairs laughing and enjoying themselves. I felt off but I couldn't place the reason, I figured it was because Forest and I mated.

I managed to crawl out of bed and go downstairs. I walked into the kitchen and sat at the table. I dropped my head onto the table. Quinn walked into the kitchen and wished me a good morning. I just groaned in response.

Forest made his way down into the kitchen,

" Are you alright Than?" He asked with his eyes staying on me.

"Your awfully pale Thanatos," Kane said looking at me.

Quinn came and handed me two small pink pills,

"Take this Than, and let me know if they make you feel better"

"Okay, thanks Quinn "

I took the pills and went to sit on the couch, Forest's little brother saw me and his face fell

"You look terrible Mr.Vampire"

Both me and him turned when we heard a growl. Forest was standing at the doorway, he was growling. He was most likely growling over the comment that his little brother made.

I heard Quinn's voice from the kitchen, "Make sure you put your dirty condoms in the trash bin and whatnot, so they don't end up in my laundry. "

"They won't."

"How do you know that smart ass?"

"They won't mom, we never used any condoms, that's how I know there won't be any in the laundry."

"What in the great moon goddess did you just say!" I heard Quinn scream and his footsteps told me he was on his way to chew my head off.

"I hardly doubt you want me to repeat myself, mom," Forest said, staying out of reach of his birth father who looked ready to beat his ass. 

"No wonder poor Thanatos looks so shitty, he probably is with pups now," Quinn yelled his arms flying everywhere.

"Quinn I'm oka--"

"Shut your damn mouth Thanatos I'm talking!" Quinn yelled.

Kane pack linked the pack doctor and told him to bring a blood kit. Forest lifted me off the couch and walked upstairs with me. He gently set me on his bed.

"I'm so sorry Thana----"

“If you say what I know you're going to then you better actually find something to apologize for Thanatos.”

I wasn't all that surprised that he knew I wanted to say sorry, after all he was an elder and had powers from the moon goddess herself. Quinn gave me a small smile before he spoke further.

“So here are the options at hand. One, you abort the baby and go on like nothing has changed, Two you keep the baby and raise it, or Three you keep the baby and we can find a nice family to raise the child. You guys should think it over and come up with a plan here, there's nothing wrong with any of the options, Whatever you pick you will not be shamed.”

I could feel how bad Forest wanted to say something that was making him angry but he didn’t he kept his mouth closed and just sat there. I took his hand and looked at him. 

“Forest, I can feel how uncomfortable you are with the idea of aborting the child, I felt it immediately. If that's not something you want then we have other options.”

Forest let out a deep breath before he spoke. 

“Than, It's your body you get the last say as to what happens with the child growing inside of you.”

“I appreciate that you are letting me make the decision, but I’m giving you a say as well, this is your child as well, and if you don't want to abort the child then it's off the table. We can keep it and it will be a lot of work, or we can have it adopted out to a good family.”

“I want to be selfish and say keep it, but I also want to do best by the child growing inside you.”

After all the talking we settled on keeping the child and I knew Forest was happy about that, but also fearful to fail the child. It pleased me that he was so concerned about being a good parent this soon.
