What felt like a millennium stretched on after he said about two months. She hadn't even had a single cycle. She hadn't even noticed. How the hell had she not noticed? Her mouth had went slack, her eyes immediately falling down to Zach. There he laid, head in her lap, his ear pressed gently to her flat stomach. "Oh my god," she choked out, barely able to breathe, let alone talk. She bit down on her lip, staring at Zach and her stomach, shallow breaths racking through her body. She was pregnant. There was no other reason. She was not sick like the others, she had not had a single period, and she had been engaging in some risky behavior.
She swallowed, her fingers no longer falling tenderly on Zach's head. But, she did look back up at Raion. The expression of concern from him did little to comfort her. She was pregnant, on a fucking island. And fucking pregnant!! Once he said Zach's name, bile rose into her throat. She shook her head vigorously and stood up, less careful this time. She cared for Zach, but the fear caused her to forget about his sickness for just a moment. "You cannot tell him," she said thickly, tears finding their way not only in her eyes but now in her throat too.
"It's not true," she hissed, hoping that by saying the lie it would make it so. She quickly moved to Raion's side and grabbed the collar of his shirt. "You will say nothing," she said firmly, giving him a hearty shake as tears fell from her eyes. "There is nothing to tell him except that I want nothing to do with him," she said finally, releasing Raion from her grip and standing up. She moved towards the mouth of their little extension of the cave, looked over her shoulder once more, dark hair falling down to her shoulders. "You tell him that," she finished, her tall form disappearing as she continued out of the dark of the caves.
