Loving My Rejected Luna

Chapter 188

~FOUR MONTHS LATER ~

Because Kiara’s due date was coming, the pains were getting so agonizing that it sometimes was too much for her to bear but with Zane’s help and the nurses, she got through it.

The past few months were filled with screams and cries but Zane was glad they were able to get through it without the pills. When he saw how much the pain was getting to her, he had offered to give her the pill and was pleasantly surprised when Kiara had been the one to refuse.

“We’ll get through this without it. You said I was strong, remember?” She had uttered those same words while she was crying and gripping onto his hand tightly. That day, she had had one of the worst pains ever but despite that, she was able to get through it.

“Are you hungry, my love? You need to eat something” He murmured as he rubbed her huge tummy. It was so big now that it almost looked surreal.

“I don’t want to eat anymore” She murmured with a pout which made him frown.

“Why? Are you not hungry?” He questioned and she sighed.

“I am but look at me, Zane, I look like a whale” He stared at for a while then chuckled before placing a kiss on her lips.

“You do not look like a whale, Kiara. You look like my pregnant woman and you have our beautiful children growing in you who need you to give them food” She frowned.

“But I don’t want to grow bigger than this. What if I give birth to them and can’t get back my normal shape? You won’t find me attractive then” He frowned.

“Why are you saying things like this? Even if you remain like this till we grow old, I’ll still find you attractive and you look beautiful, Kiara. As a matter of fact, you’re glowing so brightly that I have to look away most times because you’re perfect no matter the size you are. I didn’t fall in love with your body, you know” She sighed before moving closer to him.

“You’ll love me no matter what I look like? You promise?” He nodded.

“Of course, my love” She grinned.

“If that’s the case then I’ll have a double patty burger with a side of tacos and Mac and cheese. Make it extra cheesy and oh, I would like an oreo milkshake. I’ve been craving that for a while now” After saying that, she peered up at him innocently which made him laugh.

He pinched her cheek playfully then placed a kiss on her lips before getting up from the bed.

“Your wish is my command, My love” She frowned.

“Are you going to get it yourself? I don’t want you to leave me” He smiled. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“I’m not leaving. I want to ask Heather what she wants as well then I’ll send Leo on the errand. Don’t worry, my love. I’ll be back before you know it and if you feel any type of pain or discomfort, mind link me immediately” She nodded with a smile.

He made sure she was comfortable before walking out of the room and upon getting to Heather’s hospital room, he heard screams coming from the inside.

“Don’t fucking tell me what I can and cannot do, Daniel. It’s my body!” Heather yelled.

“Well that baby might be mine and I’m not going to let you leave this country with it!” Zane ran his fingers through his hair with a sigh as he walked into the room.

As soon as they saw him walk in, they both instantly went quiet.

“Don’t tell me you both argue like this everyday? I thought it was settled?” He questioned as he glanced between them.

“Heather doesn’t want to listen to me and I’m done trying to coax her into staying. If she wants to leave then fine but my child isn’t going anywhere” She turned to glare at Daniel.

“You don’t even know if it’s yours yet!” Zane sighed.

“Why haven’t you found out the paternity of the child yet?” Daniel frowned.

“I thought that was only possible when the child is born” Zane shook his head.

“It is possible while she’s pregnant as well. You both should have it checked so you can decide on what’s going to happen before the baby is born. Heather’s due date is in a few weeks from now, you both should be ready to either be parents or a single mother. Now, all this doesn’t really concern me. Are you going to have anything to eat? If not, I’ll be on my way” Heather shook her head.

“No thank you, I’ve already eaten” He nodded then placed his hand on Daniel’s shoulder and gave it a light reassuring squeeze before walking out of the room.

Silence filled the air as they both stared at each other for what felt like hours.

“You knew?” Daniel asked softly.

“Knew what?”

“That the paternity test could be carried out without

“Daniel, I…”

“What is wrong with you? We could have settled all this one for all and I would have found out if the child was mine or not. Why didn’t you tell me?”

“If the baby turns out to be yours or Liam’s, I feel like I’m on the losing end so what’s the point?” She mumbled so softly that he almost sounded like a whisper.

“What?” Daniel uttered.

“Can you leave me alone? I’d like to be alone” She murmured and was about to turn away but Daniel rushed up to her and grabbed her face, forcing her to stare at him.

Heather stared back at him with wide eyes, wondering what was going on.

“I already told you, even if this baby is Liam’s, I’d still be there for him or her and treat it like my own” She frowned.

“But I don’t want to stay here, Daniel. I can’t stay here any longer. I feel like with each passing day, I’m getting choked up till it’s going to get to the point where I can’t breathe anymore” He frowned.

“It’s because of me, isn’t it? Does my presence bother you that much? Everything I did to you in the past, I’ve apologized for it and I know that I hurt you a lot but does that really warrant the amount of hatred you have towards me? Why can’t you love me anymore?” She stared at him for a while then turned away.

“If you want me to stop hating you then you’d let me go. You’d let me be free” His frown deepened.

He stared at her for a while then straightened up.

“Very well then. I’ll have some nurses transferred over here to watch over you. Goodbye, Heather” He uttered and only when she heard the door close behind him did she let the tears roll down her cheeks…
