chapter 179
"Did you see? That woman tried to pick on me. Did she think I was going to let her go because I'm pregnant?" Kiara muttered as she wrapped her arms around him.
He chuckled as he pushed the hair that had fallen over her face, behind her ear.
“I'm not sure she knew you were pregnant but I'm glad you stood up for yourself" Kiara hummed before staring up at him.
"What are you doing here anyways and how did you find me?" He shrugged.
“I just had a feeling you'd be somewhere babies were and obviously, I came looking for you. Let's head back. I've already asked someone to bring the food you wanted to you" She grinned then clapped her hand excitedly before letting him lead her back to the room.
"Did you finish having your conversation with Daniel? How did it go?" He turned to her with a raised eyebrow.
"Why are you asking me that?" She sighed.
"Because I just feel like you have been wanting a friend by your side ever since this situation started" Zane sighed and he turned to face Kiara fully.
“You're my best friend, don't you know that? When I'm with you, I need no one else and yes, I did miss Daniel but your company is all I need right now, okay?" She smiled then nodded.
"Okay" He kissed her lips before leading her back to the room
Later on, The food arrived and she ate along with Heather while talking about anything and everything.
Zane was just seated beside Kiara, listening in to their conversation and occasionally laughing at some of Kiara's Jokes.
After a while, he fell asleep and by the time he woke up, it was late at night.
As soon as he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Kiara standing by the mirror with a small pillow inside her gown, imitating a baby bump.
She giggled to herself as she rubbed her tummy slightly then as if feeling his gaze, she turned around with wide eyes then pulled out the pillow from inside her gown and threw it away before laughing awkwardly.
"I just wanted to see how it would look on me" She murmured. They stared at each other for what felt like minutes before Zane got out of bed and walked up to her.
As soon as he was close enough, he leaned down and placed a kiss on her lips.
“I'm sorry about Nikolas" He muttered then placed his head on her neck as he cried
She immediately wrapped her arms around him as she bit her lower lip to stop herself from crying. “It's okay" He shook his head.
“It's not okay, Kiara. I stripped you of the right of being a mother even after knowing how long you have dreamt of being a mother. I'm so sorry my love" She caressed his back.
“Neither you nor I knew I was going to lose the baby. I wished the circumstances had been different but right now, I can't lose these ones. My mental health won't be able to take it and that's why despite the pain I feel everything because of them, I just take it a sign that one day, they'll be out in this world with us and they'll bring us so much joy" Zane sniffled as he snuggled into her neck.
“I really wished the situation was different, Kiara” She nodded as she patted his back.
"Same here, my love but we'll get through it together. Hmm?" He nodded then sniffled before pulling away from her.
He glanced down at her with a smile
“A baby bump looks good on you" She smiled brightly as she wiped away her tears.
“Right? That's what I was thinking too. Oh Zane, I can't wait till we can finally feel them moving. That's going to be magical” He wrapped his arms around her as they stared at themselves in the mirror.
“It is" He kissed her cheek, “What's even going to be more magical is me placing my mark on you again and getting to call you my wife" She giggled.
“You don't need to place your mark on me, everyone already knows that I'm yours” He shook his head.
“I don't just want them to know, I want them to feel it and see it" She grinned then turned around his arms.
“So when are you making love to me?" Without answering, he captured her lips with his then lifted her off the ground.
She immediately wrapped her leg around his waist as he carried her towards the bed while they kissed hungrily.
Zane sighed contently as he watched Kiara sleep peacefully in his arms. He has almost forgotten how delicious And fulfilling making love with Kiara felt but oh boy, did she remind him instantly and he wanted more.
He placed a kiss on her lips before sighing and getting up from the bed. He wore his trousers then carefully wore Kiara the hospital gown. The AC was on and he didn't want her catching a cold. After that, he walked into the bathroom to clean up and before he could even do anything, he heard Kiara scream from the room.
He rushed out and Immediately grabbed her.
“I'm here, I'm here, it's going to be okay" But the screams just got louder and louder while Zane kept pressing the button that was used in calling the doctor and the nurses.
"Zane!" She yelled as she grabbed onto his hand tightly, digging her nails into his flesh but he didn't even flinch and just kept trying to calm her down.
“It's going to be okay, my love. Just breath” He murmured but nothing was getting to her. She just kept screaming and flailing around with tears streaming down her eyes.
Soon after, the doctor, a nurse, Heather and Levi barged into the room. The doctor immediately went over to Kiara and Injected her with a dose of Anesthesia but that didn't seem to work so he injected her with another but that also didn't seem to work.
“Inject her again!" Zane screamed as Kiara clung onto him. The doctor shook his head.
“That's the most I can give her, I'm sorry but anything other than that won't be good for her" Zane clenched his teeth as he stared down at her.
“Zane it hurts so bad" She uttered as she cried bitterly. Zane stood there helplessly, not knowing what to do.
He couldn't just watch her be in pain. He couldn't take it.
He reached into the drawer and pulled out of the other container with the pills then opened it and took out a pill.
"Alpha Zane, I haven't checked the content of that drug yet" The doctor muttered as they watched Zane hurriedly walk towards the dispenser to get water.
"Zane, I don't think that's a good id..."
“If you have another way to help her, I'm all ears but if you don't then I suggest you shut your trap and let me help her!" He boomed and they all immediately shut up.
He placed the pill and water on the night stand then helped Kiara sit up right before feeding her the pill.
“Shhhh, it's going to be okay soon" He murmured as he caressed her hair.
After a while, she seemed calmer and wasn't even screaming anymore. She just rested her head on Zane's chest as she cried silently.
He refused to look any of them in the eyes because he knew they didn't approve of the pills but it was helping Kiara with the pain and that was all that mattered now...
