“Mia, come on. It's not that bad,” Lily said as she ran her hand through the girl's golden hair — Which the girl’s head was buried in her best friend's lap. "It's gonna be okay. Everything works out in the end.” Lily said trying to be optimistic.

Mia didn't answer, the girl was crying softly, sobbing for minutes since they both arrived at Mia's and Kamilah's penthouse. It was around midnight when they both got home, Kamilah was not there, the only thing Lily could hear from the big apartment was the blonde's cries.

��Hey, don't be like this. You know I hate to see you cry, it's not the end of the world.” Lily tried to cheer up her friend.

“How is it not ?! Tell me Lily… In what possible situation is this a good thing ?!” Mia lifted her head, hot tears streaming down the girl's face. “I'm twenty-three and I'm pregnant! Pregnant with an unplanned child, this was not supposed to happen! I'm still trying to believe that this is real, that this is happening to me, like Kamilah and I... Oh god.”

"But happened! Somehow, some way, Mia whining won't help anything!” Lily held her best friend's hands, wiping a tear that was running down. “If you were still in our previous situation, sharing an apartment and living on an assistant's salary, that would be a much bigger problem. You were bankrupt. But now... My God, you are expecting a child of not anyone, you are expecting a child of Kamilah. The most beautiful woman I've ever seen, Cleopatra's cousin, the biggest rich CEO we know! Your kid has royal blood.”

"You're not helping, Lily!" Mia stood, shaking her head in denial.

“Hey, I know it's a lot to assimilate. This is great news for all of us. I mean, I'll be aunt! Can I be the godmother ?!”

"Lily!"

"What? I can dream, can't I ?!”

“Lily, do you know the size of the problem I got myself into ?! This is much bigger than any other confusion. Do you have any idea what will happen when Adrian finds out I'm pregnant ?! Kamilah and he were almost at each other's throats at the gala party! Imagine what will happen when he knows!” Mia exasperated ran a hand through blonde hair.

“Yeah, when you put it that way the situation seems to be even worse than I thought.” Lily said contemplative.

“ What I’m going to tell Kamilah? Like, hey, what’s up? I know we haven't been talking about feelings during these months, but guess what? I’m pregnant with your child!” Mia laughed with irony, just thinking about her reaction. “Kamilah can't even tolerate children’s! She won't want this child, I know that!”

“You know you'll eventually have to tell her, don't you? I mean, you can’t hide for so long. If you both decided to keep the baby. One hour the belly will start to grow, and—” Lily was interrupted by the girl's sobs, which collapsed on the couch again, hiding her face in a pillow. “Mia, you don’t have to decide what to do now. Take your time to think.” She stroked her friend's back affectionately.

"I thought you were taking your pills, you were always so right with your medication." Lily asked confused.

“I stopped after the wedding, because you know, I wouldn't have the slightest chance to get pregnant. And almost a year later, look what happened!”

"Yup. Kamilah did knock you up, didn’t she? How many times do you guys...?"

"Almost every day, I mean... She comes home late from work, and there's all this tension between us, and when I see it, we're already doing it." Mia paced restlessly. “Kamilah is so older than me, and she’s so experienced, when we're together everything is so wonderful, so fucking good.” Mia shook her head, her mind wandering between all the nights she spent with Kamilah. “She'll think I cheated on her! She'll think I've been sleeping with anyone else, she'll ask for the divorce and kick me out of the house! ”

"Hey, hey. This won't happen, okay? Kamilah is not stupid to let you out of her life.” Lily touched the blonde's hair. “You have as much time as you want, but remember that Kamilah must know. This child is hers also, she has the right to know, Mia. Regardless of what you both decide to do. I'm on your side, for whatever happens.”

Kamilah and Mia’s penthouse, 20:45 pm

Sick. Nauseous. Sad.

9 weeks of pregnancy.

Apart from her tiredness, discouragement and aching breasts, she tried to keep up with the rest of her commitments. It was how Mia felt most of the day. And of course, every day the idea that sooner or later, she would have to tell Kamilah, the truth. Her belly was a little swollen, but Kamilah was too busy to even notice.

Most of the time she tried to avoid her wife, of course Kamilah being Kamilah, it was only a matter of time before she noticed something was wrong. Terribly wrong. Unfortunately Mia hadn’t found the courage to tell her and for her luck, Kamilah was being extremely busy these days to notice that something was wrong and she was barely staying at home to have a proper conversation.

But that one night, Kamilah had arrived early from work with the intention of taking a shower at home and then returning to work for an important meeting, ruining Mia's plans to avoid her at night. Kamilah was nervous and angry, apparently her clients were giving her a hard time than usual and that made the CEO grumpy.

“Tell them to wait, Karen. Keep them busy, I'm on my way. I'll be there in forty-five minutes.” Mia heard Kamilah's voice echo through the closet, the girl rolled her eyes, hearing Kamilah hang up the phone and cursing softly to herself.

The girl turned her attention to her notebook on her lap as she finished another of her college articles. It turns out that being married to an influential CEO had its advantages, one of which was studying at a prestigious university with a higher tuition than she could ever afford by herself. Mia caressed her belly absently, something that now during her pregnancy had become a habit. Lily's voice rang in her mind, her words echoing, Mia remembered the afternoon they went to a coffee shop.

"I know this decision isn't mine, it belongs to you two, and I know you think you’re not ready or that Kamilah wouldn’t want the baby. But I'd be happy.” The vampire smirked. “There's a little Kamilah inside you and girl, I hope for this child has her hair.”

“Mia.” Kamilah's authoritative voice brought her back to reality.

“Uh?” She looked up at the CEO, who was standing in front of the bed with her hands on her hips. Immediately the girl's face turned red when she saw that image in front of her. Kamilah's tanned skin was wet, her brown hair flung over her shoulders, she wore a set of panties and bra that perfectly valued that damn body.

“I asked you if you saw my wine blouse, she was supposed to be in the closet, but she isn't. And I can't be late for my meeting.” Kamilah said angrily, it was usual for her to stay that way when an important meeting was scheduled for the month. Mia sighed.

“You have so many social shirts. What is the difference between this shirt to the others? Did you look right?” The girl narrowed her green eyes.

“If I hadn't searched properly, I probably wouldn't have been asking where it is.” Kamilah took a deep, impatient breath. "Maria always send them to the laundry, and you always know when our clothes arrive." Mia rolled her eyes and got out of bed, and went into the closet to look.

"Here it is. See, how you don’t know how to look for things?” She handed Kamilah the perfectly, clean, wine blouse. Kamilah growled, wearing her shirt and buttoning the buttons in a hurry. "Wait, let me do that, you'll end up messing with the buttons like this." Mia said, approaching and buttoning. Kamilah studied her closely, the girl's delicate features down to her intense green eyes.

"Stop being so cranky," Mia said softly.

“You have no idea what's at stake, my company could lose a millionaire contract if I can't close the deal.” Kamilah snapped.

"Why not try to reconcile instead of showing the advantages one company can provide to another?" Mia said patiently.

“That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.” Kamilah rolled her eyes. "That's not how the corporate world works, Mia."

"Or you can complain about it, exactly how you’re doing right now and ignore me like you've been doing for weeks." Mia pulled away.

“What?” Kamilah stopped to look at her.

"Nothing. Forget it.” Mia said walking away. “You only care about your stupid company, anyway.” That was the hormones speaking for her and making her extremely vulnerable and emotional. Kamilah stared at her without understanding.

“How can you say that ?! I've spent a century building this company from scratch!” Kamilah said, anger returning and red eyes showing.

“And I'm your wife!” Mia turned around, screaming with a red face, tears streaming down. “But you don't give a damn about me! And I'm sick of it, I'm sick of you, sick of this stupid fight with Adrian! It’s years of my life, Kamilah! I'm paying for your mistakes! I had absolutely nothing to do with it and yet, Gaius managed to ruin my life!” Yup, she was definitely emotional.

"Do you think I wanted to get married ?! Do you think it was just your life which was ruined?!" Kamilah shouted back, laughing sarcastically, her fangs showing. "I never wanted! I never wanted to get stuck in a marriage to a girl who acts like an irresponsible teenager!”

"Then why don't you ask for the divorce? I will be happy to oblige!" Mia shouted. She didn't mean that, not really. But the emotional instability of the moment made her want to. That made Kamilah back away, looking at the girl with wide eyes, open mouth, speechless.

“Mia—”

“I can't live like this! Years stuck in this fake marriage, this is my life Kamilah, and I'm not ready to be a mother, and neither are you!” She pointed a finger at Kamilah's chest, pouring out the truth without even realizing it.

"Excuse me? What in the hell? ” Kamilah asked without understanding, it made the girl fall to her senses.

"Forget what I said." Mia backed away, stammering, with red cheeks. The time seemed to have stopped. Kamilah looked at her, a confused expression on her face, she sought answers from the girl, who kept her eyes on the floor. “I didn't mean it!” Mia shook her head tears escaping from her face. "Doesn’t matter what I said!"

“You said you weren't ready to be a mother.” Kamilah repeated the sentence with a squint of misunderstanding. "Why would you say something like that if it didn't matter ?! Why you wouldn’t be ready to be...?"

This was not a good time. Kamilah was angry, but maybe there wasn't another soon, at some point she would probably have to travel to another corner of the world for a business trip and it would be too late or... She would ask for the divorce.

"I need to talk to you. Something happened.” Mia said quietly. "It's very important. I've already waited too long.” The blonde's eyes filled with tears. Kamilah didn’t said anything, she was just staring at the girl in silence, completely speechless.

“...I'm pregnant.” Those words wandered sharply in the air, and suddenly the silence returned as never before.

The CEO eyes widened, her brows furrowed, her lips parted. An unrecognizable expression on her face, the blonde moistened her lips and hugged herself, hoping for anything to come next. One minute, two minutes. Both exchanging glances, Kamilah was not breathing. She looked like a living statue staring at the mesmerized girl. What she didn’t know was that deeply, Kamilah knew the risks she had taken, even knowing the consequences. She noticed the vulnerable look of the girl, and how fragile she looked.

2000 years surviving, 2000 years of wars and blood, deaths also Gaius. 2000 years knowing that her family was dead and she would never have them back. Centuries grieving and fighting. She had made peace with that feeling. But what she never expected for that happen. She spend years punishing herself for all the horrible things she had made in her past, thinking that she didn’t deserved to be happy, and now... She was going to be a mother.

"Say something!" Mia said exasperated.

“Are you sure?” Were the only words that escaped Kamilah's lips.

“Yeah! I was feeling a little dizzy and nauseous at first, it was little but I hardly bothered. Then it got stronger, I didn't know what to do, Lily made me get a pregnancy test and then we went for a blood test.” Mia went to find the paper and handed it to the CEO. Kamilah read it silently, after two minutes with eyes fixed on the document, she looked at the girl firmly.

"That's impossible!" Mia paced impatiently. “There is no way this is true! Genetically speaking— ” She kept talking desperate, but Kamilah remained standing with her eyes fixed on the girl and the test in hand.

"This child is mine?" She asked quietly enough to make Mia stop.

“If it's yours ?! Well, I do not know! I've been sleeping with you for the last few months and only you! If this son is not yours, then I was fucked by a spirit or it is a blessing from the Holy Spirit!” The girl shouted. “I didn’t cheat on you with anyone! It's been you, and only you.” But then, the realization came into her eyes. "... What do you mean if this son is yours?"

Mia noticed Kamilah's look. She was hiding something, she could tell.

"Kamilah, what do you know, that I don't know ?!" The CEO straightened her stance, the serious, thoughtful look on her face returned, as if she were lost in thought. Before she could answer that question, the sound of Kamilah's cell phone vibrating interrupted both. Kamilah immediately answered the phone.

"What it is, Karen?" She asked impatiently. “What they’re doing? Are you sure about it? I understand, please tell them I'm coming.” Kamilah hung up the phone.

“Kamilah—”

"I need to go. If I do not arrive in twenty minutes the contract will be canceled. I can't miss this meeting.” She said wearing her clothes, in the blink of an eye, she was already spotless again.

“But Kamilah, we're talking—” Mia tried to say without understanding her wife's reaction. "We need to talk about this! You can't leave me now.”

“I know, we will talk about it. I promise. When I get home, alright?” Kamilah said, taking her overcoat and going to the door, leaving the girl alone.

“I’m pregnant.” Mia's voice echoed in Kamilah's head incessantly. The vampire kept her gaze fixed on the glass table, the voices of her company executives and guests, were just insignificant voices at the deep of her mind. A million things kept her mind spinning.

“There is a great possibility that a child will be born through it. Miranda could be expecting a biological son of yours, Kamilah...” Lord Elric's words surfaced in the CEO's mind like a punch in the middle of her stomach. She didn’t believed, she didn’t care. She acted by pure desire and now... Mia was pregnant.

The thought that she could never be a mother never tormented her. She was too busy fighting wars, bathing in innocent blood while at the time she believed in glory, too busy conquering her ideals to think about it. Until then it was impossible, but now... It had come true. And how could reality be so scary.

“What Adrian will think? Oh God. Adrian will never forgive me, I broke my promise. He will hate me for the rest of eternity.” Kamilah tried to imagine Adrian's face, and how it would desolate him. She had broken her best friend's heart the moment she decided to succumb to desire. And Mia... Like how just three hours ago, Mia was about to ask for the divorce before letting out she was pregnant.

“Is that what she wants? Getting away from me? What if when I get home she's gone? What I’m supposed to do?” the torturous thought haunted her. Kamilah had grown accustomed to living with the girl, liking the simple things Mia did for her — Even the small ones, were kind and affectionate gestures. Receiving affection after living centuries alone in reclusion was new to her. But it was amazing how Mia never did something expecting something in return.

She was really leaving her? Kamilah's fists clenched against the table, the fear, the doubt consuming her. Maybe she was so afraid of Mia's rejection that she probably couldn't accept her own feelings. She was with a child, her child.

“She is expecting a child of mine. A biological child, my blood, my heir. This child could be my redemption. What if she doesn't want to keep the baby? Mia was right, I'm not ready to be a mother, let alone her. We were reckless and irresponsible, and... We created a life. What if Mia wants the baby and the child do not like me? Who would want to have a mother whose soul is not capable of remission? ” The thought drifted through Kamilah's mind.

“Kamilah?” One of her executives called her. Taking her mind off her reverie, Kamilah looked up, gazing into the eyes of several executives in incredibly expensive suits, her executives and the executives of the company she was about to close the deal on awaiting her response.

Damn it, Mia. Kamilah's mind was far from that meeting room at that moment. In fact, it was the last place she wanted to be now. The CEO hardly listened to any of the arguments of the company in which she was closing the deal.

“Sorry, what was the question?” Kamilah asked, oblivious.

"Mr Harrison asked how much the margin profit would be at the end of the semester, ma'am." Karen whispered so that only she could hear.

"Oh, of course." Kamilah straightened her suit. At that moment Mia's words came back to her mind and how the girl had suggested a conciliation instead. “Do you know what? Let's put that subject aside.” Kamilah leaned back in her leather chair.

“Excuse me, Kamilah?” Mr Harrison, her prospective investor raised an eyebrow.

“I know you and you know me. We are both excellent what we do. Tell me what you want, David, and I'll tell you what I want. Maybe we can come to a compromise instead of trying to get somewhere in this stupid fight for who was most power. So, do we have a deal or not?.” Kamilah said letting all the executives quiet through that direct negotiation.

...

“I want to propose a toast, to our brilliant CEO who increasingly leads us on the path to success and profit.” Steven, one of Kamilah's executives, raised a glass of champagne. “One more deal!”

Kamilah smiled with the glass in hand, lifting gracefully towards him and the others. Since the deal was closed, a small celebration with the company executives was happening. Kamilah sipped her champagne, her mind wandering and drawn to a certain stubborn blonde.

“Is everything okay, ma'am?” Karen approached and asked quietly. Kamilah stared at her for long seconds, her assistant's worried look showing sympathy. “Kamilah, you were physically present in the meeting, but mentally, you were elsewhere.” Kamilah opened her mouth to respond, trying to find the words to form a coherent sentence. "Did something happen to Mrs. Sayeed?" Karen asked referring to Mia.

"...I'm going to be a mother, Karen." Kamilah said with her eyes wide and distant. Karen was looking at her for some sign of jokes, but when she met Kamilah's serious eyes, she knew Kamilah wasn't joking around.

"What? I didn't know you both were wanting a baby.” She said politely.

"It was an accident." Kamilah confessed, smiling slightly when she saw the white expression on her assistant's face. “A very good accident. The baby is mine, a biological child.”

“So you both crossed the forbidden lines. I knew it was just a matter of time. This is amazing, congratulations, Kamilah." Karen smiled. Kamilah stared at her for a few seconds before taking a deep breath and heading for the center of the conference room.

“I would like your attention.” Kamilah said attracting the eyes of all of her executives who stopped to listen. “First, I have a pronouncement and a toast to make. As many of you know, I got married a year ago, which was a surprise to everyone, believe me, it was for me too.” She said attracting laughter, her gaze remained serious. "So, today, I am pleased to announce, that we are expecting our first child, I am going to be a mother very soon." Clapping and congratulations broke into the room, as playful comments. “That's why today I want to ask you all to raise your glasses, a toast to my son or daughter, the heir of my empire." She raised her glass and everyone did.

04h45am Kamilah and Mia’s penthouse

It was early in the morning when Kamilah arrived home, the sun would rise in a few hours when the elevator doors opened giving way to the CEO. Kamilah set her bag on the couch and walked into her bedroom, opening the door slightly, spotting Mia asleep buried in the covers. She couldn’t help, but feel the relief at seeing the girl. Kamilah took off her heels and her jacket. Going to the closet quietly and then to the bathroom.

She just needed one more thing to relax and sleep peacefully. Blood. The already robed CEO left her room and headed for the kitchen. Opening her personal fridge, and spotting several bags of blood. Mia raised her head, still sleepy. The girl spotted the kitchen light on the end of the hall, through the crack in the door. Kamilah was at home, she looked into her cell phone and saw that it was still dawn. Still a little dizzy, she rose from the bed and opened the bedroom door.

When she reached the kitchen, she spotted Kamilah, sitting on one of the stools in front of the counter, drinking a glass of red liquid. Even silently coming, Kamilah felt her presence.

"You should be sleeping." Kamilah commented turning to her and looking with warm eyes. Mia approached the CEO. “It’s not good for you to be awake at this time... Especially for the baby.”

“You left me without answering my question.” Mia crossed her arms, her gaze burning.

"Alright. I knew this could happen, that you could get pregnant." Kamilah admitted, making Mia's shoulders drop. “Adrian and I went after elf magic… And we found out about the possibility, blood magic made it real, I tried to avoid you in every way possible, but I couldn't.” Kamilah told her. “And when we started sleeping together, I couldn't stop anymore. Suddenly this just became a small possibility for me and I didn’t care anymore.”

"And you didn't tell me ?!" Mia shouted with tears in her eyes. "Did you expect to knock me up to throw this at me ?!"

“I didn't planned it Mia!” Kamilah ran a hand through her hair.

"Of course not!" Mia laughed pacing. “Do you ever wonder what Adrian will do when he finds out that you and I are expecting a baby ?! He will never look in my face again, and god only knows what will happen!”

“Mia—” Kamilah tried to approach the girl, who backed off.

“I am too young to be a mother! I can barely take care of myself, I can barely imagine a baby! You're too busy, and you don't even like childrens!” Tears streamed from her eyes, she passed the CEO and entered her room. "This is a nightmare." Mia said crying.

“How many weeks are you in?” Kamilah asked curiously.

“Nine weeks.”

“You've been pregnant for three months and you told me just now ?!” Kamilah raised her eyebrows.

"Do you really want to argue about not sharing things? This isn't happening, isn't it." Mia shook her head.

“Mia, we can talk about this.” Kamilah's eyes softened. "It's gonna be okay." The CEO sat next to her.

“No, no. It won't be alright! Why is everyone telling me this ?! My breasts hurts, I’m nauseous almost every day and all I want to do is cry! So don’t you dare to tell me that will be alright!” She shouted, making Kamilah blink as she saw her wife in chaos. “What my parents are going to think?”

“I didn't mean that I don’t wanted to be married and you're an irresponsible teenager." Kamilah said quietly. “You brought a big change to my life, you saved me, so please, don’t ask for the divorce.” Mia noticed the vulnerability in her brown eyes.

“I don’t want the divorce.” Mia said quietly in return. “I never wanted, Kamilah.” Kamilah let out the air she didn't know she was holding.

“I want him.” Kamilah said thoughtfully, making Mia look at her without understanding. “Doesn’t matter the gender, he or her. I want this child, Mia.”

“What?!” Kamilah noticed that she was pale, the flush on her cheeks was missing, her blond hair was messy, the CEO tried to ignore the urge to touch those cheeks and to look into those intense green eyes.

“I know this decision relies on both of us. It’s not only my choice, but also yours. And for the very first time, I’m hoping that both of us can agree on something.”

“Do you really want this?” Mia asked.

“More than anything. This baby is ours, we created a life, and we’re responsible for this child. I know we can manage to be good parents... Well, time will tell, but I have hope for us.” Mia approached the CEO hesitantly, Kamilah involuntarily spread her arms, pulling the blonde by the waist close to her and hugging against her body. Mia wrapped her arms around Kamilah's warm neck, sinking her face into it, smelling her familiar scent.

“Are you going to keep the baby?” Kamilah stroked her blond hair, Mia cried softly, sobbing, hiding her face against Kamilah's nightgown, within seconds the fabric was already wet, but the CEO didn't care, a smile grew on her lips, the idea that Mia was waiting a child of her own was too incredible for her to assimilate so quickly.

“Yes. I want the baby too. I’m just so scared, this is so new for me, but... It’s us. Perhaps you’re right and we can do this. I'm sorry for your nightgown—" Mia stepped away touching the damp fabric.

"Doesn't matter." Kamilah said softly wiping the tears from the girl's face. A big flawless and bright smile on her face. “I’m so happy. I know this is scary, believe me, I'm scared too. But, Mia, I spent too many years alone, more than you could imagine. The idea of having children never crossed my mind, I believe I was too busy in wars when I was mortal to think about such things. But then, I lost my family, I lost my brother. And when I was turned, I missed this chance for good.” She sighed shaking her head. “And then you came along and now... We are going to have a baby.” She laughed softly, hesitating, Kamilah touched lightly on Mia’s belly and her smile widened.

“Kamilah...” Mia stammered with red cheeks. She didn’t know what to say, there was still tears in her eyes and now that Kamilah poured her heart out, she felt like she could cry all night long.

“Our baby is a blessing.” Kamilah touched Mia’s cheeks with both hands looking straight into her eyes. Her eyes were certain, passionate and happy.

One month later

“Holy shit! That hurts!” Mia tried to keep her tone low, holding tightly to Kamilah's desk.

“Well, while we were doing it, you didn't complain.” Kamilah smiled quietly as she applied a dose of gestational vitamins that Mia's doctor had prescribed.

“And neither do you.” Mia snapped and moaned softly as Kamilah pulled the needle out. "My butt is burning like hell." She said pulling up her jeans.

“Have I already said how attractive you look while you curse?” Kamilah smiled, leaving a kiss on her wife's cheek. The blonde's cheeks burned at the compliment. “When's the ultrasound?” Kamilah asked, touching Mia's belly lightly.

“I booked for friday. Dr Carson said he could only be there at 19h30pm, I’m so sorry, I know you have this meeting that you can’t lose and how much you wanted to be there to see the sex of the baby.” Mia touched Kamilah's hand on her belly.

"That’s alright. You can go with Lily, and when you arrive you can tell me how it went.” Kamilah shook her head, trying not to show how upset she was about that situation. Her first child and she wouldn't be there. Damn it, if she haven’t that important meeting... "And yet, I still believe it's a girl." Kamilah said with a bright smile on her face.

"How are you so sure?" Mia laughed.

"I just feel it." Kamilah said with her eyes locked on her wife's belly. “I have a surprise for you.”

“What it is?” Mia’s eyes shined curiously.

“That’s a subject for later.” Kamilah smiled seeing the frustration on her wife’s eyes.

At the same instant the doors of Kamilah's office opened, revealing the last person they could both expect at that moment. Adrian.

"Kamilah, I know I promised to postpone our meeting, but..." He stopped when he saw both. "Mia." His eyes lit up when he saw the girl.

“Adrian.” The girl's young face flushed quickly, Kamilah watched the exchange of glances between the two before standing up.

"Adrian, what's the point of the visit?" She asked casually. But, Adrian didn't answer, his eyes were focused on the girl.

"How are you? It's been so long since we last spoke. ”

"I know. I've been very busy, I'm sorry.” Mia replied with flushed cheeks.

"No problem, I hear you're back in college, that's amazing." He tried to smile, but the smile faded as his eyes lowered and he noticed her belly. "What... what is it?" He pointed at Mia's belly, which she instantly touched her involuntarily.

“Adrian.” Mia and Kamilah exchanged silent looks. Mia opened her mouth trying to start the conversation in a calm and civilized way. “Kamilah and I have something to tell you, it was something that happened so suddenly, but at the same time it was the best thing that could have happened. I'm four months pregnant.” Mia bit her lower lip looking at Adrian, noting how his shocked expression turned to hate in seconds. An accusing look came to his face, going straight to Kamilah.

“How could you ?! How could you do this to me after all these years ?! You should be my best friend, my confidant, my sister, and yet you preferred to betray me” He pointed a finger at her, Kamilah took a deep breath trying to stay calm.

“Adrian—”

"This can only be a joke, please tell me you're joking with my face!"

"This is not a joke, Adrian." Kamilah said seriously, a dark look forming on her face. “I know how you must be feeling now, I've been blaming myself for months for being married to your ex girlfriend, but a moment between us happened, and—”

“You knew what would happen and yet did you Kamilah! I will never, never forgive you for that!” He shouted. “You broke your promise! You promised you wouldn't touch a finger on her! You traitor.” He paced with a deadly look at her, his eyes blazing bright red.

“Adrian!” Mia raised her voice, making him stop. "Please stop."

"Okay. It was only one night, we can fix it.” He took a deep breath, ran a hand through his hair. Kamilah and Mia exchanged glances.

"Adrian..." Mia tried to approach, Kamilah looked at her warily, but she ignored her. “It wasn't just one night. It was consensual, Kamilah didn't force me on anything. We are adults, married and we both wanted.”

"So you both betrayed my confidence ?!"

"She's my wife!" Mia shouted. "What should I do?! Not sleep with her ?! We live in the same house, we sleep in the same bed every day!”

Adrian shook his head angrily, when Mia realized, he was already on the other side of Kamilah's office, both inches from each other, exchanging predatory glances, fangs exposed, ready to attack each other. Maybe it was the stupidest thing she'd ever done, but the girl didn't hesitate to step in front of them.

"Get out of the way, Mia," Adrian growled angrily.

“Want to come after me, brother? Do you really think you're capable ?!” Kamilah snapped.

"Stop!" She shouted and they both looked at her. “Can't you see that this is what Gaius wanted ?! You are brothers for god's sake! Are you both really going to destroy this for me ?! ”

"Yes." The two said in unison without hesitation, leaving the girl breathless.

"I won't let you guys do that." Mia said firmly. "Adrian." She turned to her old love. Tears escaped the girl's eyes. “I don't expect you to forgive me, but I want you to know that I don't regret what I did. Kamilah gave me something to fight for, a child, my first child. She is more than just my wife now. I can't let you get hurt, or she get hurt.” Her words made Adrian's anger increase, and the hatred in Kamilah's expression faded, was she hearing a declaration of love from Mia for the first time?

“What did you do, Kamilah ?!” Adrian's angry look turned to Mia's belly.

“Don't even think about it.” In a second Kamilah's hand gripped his wrist before he could even touch Mia's belly. “I won’t let you hurt her or my child. Is that what you call love ?! You are making her cry, you are making her suffer, is that what you want, Adrian ?! ”

Adrian for the first time looked into the girl's green eyes, red from crying and backed away. Leaving the office almost immediately.

A week later

"I'm glad you're here." Mia said with a faint smile when her eyes met Adrian's in the elevator. Adrian looked around for signs that Kamilah was in the penthouse. “She's not here, is just me. Please come in. I made some tea.” Mia made room for him to come in and the CEO made it.

Adrian had called asking them both to meet to talk. What was a surprise to the girl, knowing that Kamilah would be in a long meeting that Wednesday, she invited him to her house.

“How's college?” Adrian sat on the spacious, comfortable leather couch, Mia handed her a mug of boiling liquid.

“Oh you know, it's great. I can still go to class, my counselor will come visit me on days when I'm at rest.” Mia said sitting in the armchair in front of Adrian, sipping her tea.

“I didn't like how we left things. The last thing I wanted was to hurt you.” The CEO's blue eyes lingered on her belly, noticing how the girl caressed her belly fondly.

"I know, me too. You're very important to me, Adrian.” Mia gave her a loving smile, it made the CEO's heart skip out of his chest. Even knowing she was pregnant, pregnant with a child that wasn't his own. That should be.

“This… this should be us. Our house, our kid, our life. Damn Gaius.” Adrian's fist clenched against his knee. Mia noticed the faint streaks of red in his eyes.

“I think things happened for a reason. Maybe... Maybe it was meant to be. I'm tired of fighting the past.” Mia shook her head, pulling her fleece blanket closer to her belly.

“Don't worry, I found the solution. A solution that would be best for all of us involved.” Adrian said, attracting a curious look from the girl.

"What... solution?" She asked uncertainly.

“My team and I have been developing a pill. A pill with exceptional characteristics that would solve all that.” A warm smile forming on his face. "I know how difficult this situation is for all of us, you are extremely young, you have been trapped in a loveless marriage, connected to someone you do not love, who may not be able to return your love."

“Adrian—”

“You're not ready to be a mother, Mia. I know you think you are, and that gives you a false sense of momentary happiness, but believe me, I already had a child, and I know how it is. It is a great responsibility to take care of an extremely fragile life. You're not ready to wake up every night, to take care of a child. Much less Kamilah, who is also deluded. She has no time to raise a child, she will leave you alone taking care, while she is busy with her chores. You know I'm telling the truth.”

Mia opened her mouth uncertain what to say in response, tears welling in the corner of her eyes.

“This pill will prevent that from happening. I love you, and I love Kamilah, she's my sister, but I'm sorry you're not ready for that.” He said pulling a small vial out of his pocket with a bull.

"This is not your decision! Do you want me to abort ?!" Mia asked speechless.

"You know that's the only way." Adrian said.

Raines Corp

It was late when an angry Kamilah came through the doors of Raines Corp, her heels hitting the ground like the clock of death approaching. Her fists clenched, her eyes red, anger completely overpowering her senses.

“Mrs Sayeed? I didn't know you had an appointment and—” Adrian's assistant fell silent at the deadly look Kamilah shot her before slamming into Adrian's office, slamming the door so hard behind her that it made him jump from his seat.

“Kamilah, what do you think you are doing—” Adrian rose from his chair, staring at the vampire without understanding. Kamilah took the flask out of her jacket and threw it against the wall so hard that a hole formed.

“How could you do this to me, Adrian ?! How could you come into my house and deliver an abortion pill in my wife's hands ?!” she shouted.

"I just did what I thought was best for her." Adrian said quietly.

“You only did what was best for you!” Kamilah pointed an accusing finger at him. Adrian laughed sarcastically.

“Look who's talking! The person who betrayed on me! My sister who slept and got pregnant the love of my life! You broke your promise!” He shouted back. “I don't regret anything I did! I did right for the woman I love!”

“Get over it.” Kamilah paced around trying to control herself not to advance Adrian. “What you did was the greatest act of cowardice I've ever seen in my life! You went behind my back and acted so selfishly—”

“Am I selfish ?! It was YOU who got Mia pregnant, she belongs to me, her place is with me—”

"No. She's NOT yours!” Kamilah shouted with hatred. "She is mine! My wife, my child's mother, she doesn't belong to you!”

“Kamilah, how can you—” Adrian shook his head in disgust.

“BECAUSE I LOVE HER!” Kamilah admitted causing Adrian to widen his eyes. “I love her, ardently.” Kamilah's confession made him hurl a glass closely to her.

“You know perfectly well she's not ready to be a mother, and you're trying to fool yourself into thinking this is going to work! I did my best for her, the pill would solve this whole situation, that's a mistake!” Adrian screamed back.

"MY CHILD IS NOT A MISTAKE!" She shouted. It made something break inside her, Kamilah's blood boiling, the veins in her neck throbbing with anger.

"You really want this kid." Adrian concluded watching Kamilah's deadly look.

"Of course I want. Mia gave me a child, an heir, heir to my empire, my child will be the continuation of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Proof that our family has not been decimated.” Kamilah took a deep breath, mentally counting to ten, she sighed and straightened her suit. "Think about what I told you, and if your idea changes by then, I'd love for you to be the godfather, my offer will be up." She took her coat and took it. Leaving Adrian alone with his thoughts.

Friday, 19:30 pm

"Oh my god, I'm so excited and I'm not even pregnant!" Lily said excitedly, almost jumping in her seat next to Mia in the waiting room. Mia gave her a smile in response, flipping through her magazine, Lily's excitement was contagious.

“I'm feeling so bad for Kamilah, it's such an important moment in our lives, and she won't be able to be present.” Mia shook her head with a sad smile.

“I know, but we know how busy she is. But hey, let’s think when you get home you can surprise her.” Lily said smiling, making Mia smile. "So what do you think it is?"

"Honestly? Kamilah is so excited saying it’s a girl, I think she's right. I think it's a little girl.” Mia smiled touching her belly.

"I know I've said that before, but... I hope she has Kamilah's hair." Lily teased.

"Me too." Mia laughed in response.

“Mrs Sayeed?” The doctor's assistant called her with a smile, Mia and Lily stood up. "Dr Carson is waiting for you." Both girls walked into the ultrasound room. Mia smiled and shook her doctor's hand, Lily did the same.

“So, how are we doing today? Your exams are great, the vitamins have helped a lot. I see the diet is doing you good.” Her doctor smiled approvingly.

"What can I say? My wife is very authoritative when it comes to rules and regulations.” Mia laughed.

"She's not kidding," Lily said beside her. "Oh, I'm that kid's godmother." Lily said making both the doctor and Mia laugh.

"Well, let's get started?" He smiled. The next few moments made the girl's heart beat faster, Lily realized this and held it in her hand, both looking at the monitor while the doctor gently ran the device over the girl's belly.

"See, here it is." He smiled with his eyes on the screen. The blonde's heart jumped in her chest as she heard the small heartbeats that flooded the room. "Look, this is the head, the little toes and hands."

"My God..." The blonde let out a sob, seeing for the first time her baby.

"I can't see almost anything, but it's still so beautiful." Lily sobbed beside her.

"The heart is great too, he's very healthy." Dr Carson smiled.

"He ?!" Both girls asked in shock.

"Congratulations, Mrs Sayeed, you are expecting a boy." He touched Mia's hand lightly.
