THE FORGOTTEN LUNA

LADESSA.

After I told Kael that I might be pregnant, I started to relax.

In fact, I began to feel excited.

I didn't expect his reaction, which made everything perfect. Earlier, he told me he loved me, and his reaction to the pregnancy news supported that claim.

Despite the fact that he couldn't remember me, it was enough that he wanted me in his life, and he wanted to have a baby with me.

We bought the pregnancy test kit and stopped by a fast-food restaurant.

Kael ordered our food while I went to the restroom. He wanted to see the results with me, but he was taking too long to get here, and the results were ready. The line at the counter might be long, so I had to check this on my own.

My hand trembled as I raised the test stick in my hand.

One line.

I was wrong. I wasn't pregnant.

I took a deep breath just in time for a knock to come. I lowered my hand and opened the door.

Our gazes met, and I could still see the excitement in his eyes. I didn't want to prolong the suspense for him.

"I'm not pregnant," I informed him before he could ask while trying to keep a straight face.

His face fell, and it told me how disappointed he was.

"I'm sorry. I overreacted. I thought, I thought I was. I never skip a period, and I've been crying a lot lately. Like all I have done is cry since you found me at the hostel. I thought..." I was stammering while fighting my tears from falling. "But maybe it was the stress, so I missed my period, and I... I don't know what made me think it was like that."

Kael gently pushed me back as he entered the toilet with me, locking the door behind him before he spoke. "I'm not upset with you. Yes, I'm a little disappointed, but not with you. I'm sorry for the disappointment that showed in my expression. Like you, I was looking forward to this baby, but you know what? There's nothing there because it's not the right time yet. We need to get out of this mess first, and then we can try again. We won't stop trying until I get my little Adessa in my arms." "Kael, don't make me cry..."

"We can also have little Kael. One or two, maybe more." He cupped my face as he continued speaking. "Nothing changes, Adessa. You're still mine."

I nodded my head as tears fell. I kept staring at him.

All the suffering I had gone through the feeling of being alone all my life, the men running after me I could finally tell they were all worth it. Kael letting me know how important I was to him made all of this worth it. "For a moment, I pictured us with a baby..." I spoke in a soft voice.

"I pictured you with a big stomach, holding on to me so you can walk."

I forced a chuckle, but I kept crying.

"It will still happen. It may not be right now, but it will happen eventually. And when that day comes, we'll be more prepared. You won't have to run being chased by assholes. Instead, you'll be

pampered while you carry our

baby."

He added, warming my whole heart.

"Yes... Right now is not the right time." I mumbled.

He gave me a nod. "But it will happen. I will make it happen."

"I can't wait for that day," I replied before throwing my arms around him and hugging him tightly.

"Me too, butterfly." He mumbled lowly as he kissed the side of my cheek. "But we have each other. It's more than enough for now."

I nodded my head, hugging him tightly. He was right. I got him, and he was more than enough.

"Do you know why you've been crying a lot lately?" he asked as we pulled away from hugging each other. "Because you feel safe to cry around me."

I was just looking at him, listening as he spoke.

"When I was younger, I was a tough

boy." He began as he wiped my

tears. "No one and nothing could

make me cry, even when it hurts. Even when I failed at something, it didn't break me. But every time I came home and found Mom alone, I would cry to her. One time, IO apologized for crying, and she told me she always welcomed my cries because it showed her that she was my safe space. The world couldn't make me bow down to it, but with her, I could let my guard down. It made her feel special."

My tears fell again because I felt it in my soul. I'd been trying to be tough on my own, but the tears never stopped coming ever since he came back for me.

"I'm glad to be your safe space,

Adessa. It made me feel special.

Although I would rather not see you

cry, I want you to know you can always èry to me for whatever

reason. My arms are strong enough to hold and embrace you, and my shoulders will never push your head away."

"Oh, Goddess. What did I do to deserve you?" I mumbled in between my sobs.

"I asked the same thing of her, so here I am, trying my best to be deserving of you." He replied.

I bit my bottom lip to stop myself from sobbing more. Kael was overwhelming my whole being like he had been doing these past few days.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"With or without a baby, we're still a team. Okay. We got this. Now, let's go and grab our food. It might already be ready. We still have a long way to go." He said as he pecked my lips one more time before wiping the remainder of my tears.
