CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY
I rushed over to him, carrying him from his cot.
I checked all over, looking for what could have rattled him up like that.
“What is wrong with him?” One of the ministers exclaimed.
“She's obviously trying to figure it out, Malibu, let the woman be!” Alara rebutted.
Meanwhile, Xander was still crying and I hadn't figured out what was wrong.
“I need to take him to the doctor so we'll continue this when I'm back,” I told them, rocking Xander back and forth as his cries intensified.
“You should probably take the whole day off to take care of him,” Alara said kindly to me but the men weren't quite as nice.
“Or maybe the next five years, raising a ky'rhan that powerful isn't something you can juggle with trying to boss everyone around,” Kayan grumbled on his way out.
I ignored his jab as Xander's cries were making me feel terrible inside and my own powers were getting restless as well.
I noticed a shard of glass on my skin when Alara came to give me a side hug before leaving.
“Thank you,” I said to her, grateful for her support. I was going to look out for a woman to take Kayan’s job at this point. This brood needed more kindness.
I took out the shard and the injury healed immediately.
Coincidentally, Xander's cries reduced, not stopping completely but he wasn't wailing as loudly as before.
So I propped him back on his cot and checked my body for other injuries that I wasn't aware of how because my mind wasn't processing my own pain at that moment.
Each shard I took out reduced his cries and by the fifth one, he was just sniffling.
And that was when I felt pain in my stomach, along with a drop of wetness in my panties.
“Am I… menstruating again?” I wondered out loud.
“Vanessa?” I called for my assistant and she ran in quickly, probably from how terrified I sounded.
“Yes your Majesty,” she answered immediately she opened the door.
“Help me watch him; I'll be right back,” I told her, and she nodded, pulling up a chair and making faces at a sad-looking Xander.
I rushed to the bathroom and took off my pants, and there it was blood.
I teleported to my room, changed them, and put on a pad. I'd asked Sarah to pack a large amount of it, and thankfully, I was able to because I couldn't create every part of it from atoms in the air; some materials needed a full chemistry lab to produce them.
I would have to commission somebody to get working on a pad company because Moderates, ABCs and natural ky'rhans didn't bleed monthly so there wouldn't be much pressure to produce it except I put my foot down. I guess it was one of the things that pointed to my presence here, I needed to get with the humans soon and collect a list of immediate needs to help them acclimatize better.
I went back to the office, and Vanessa was struggling to calm him down as he began crying loudly again.
“Thank you dear, I'll take care of him now, okay?” I said to her.
She nodded and was definitely relieved from the way she sprinted out of the office.
I didn't blame her at all; the cries were driving me crazy, and I'm his mother.
I carried him and began rocking him while speaking to him.
“Mummy's just menstruating, hm?” I said in baby language. “It's totally normal for human women and XYZ ky'rhans, okay? I'm hurting a bit but it's completely natural, okay?”
I kept talking because the longer I did, the quieter he became.
Then I brought out a nipple and put it in his mouth. He latched on quickly and in a few minutes, he was in deep sleep
I lay him back down and sat back down on my chair.
I had half the mind to call Xavier and rant, but I knew he'd leave his meeting and come here, and I couldn't do that. He needed to focus on securing peace for our part of the galaxy. The next few years would definitely make us strong but we weren't right now and needed that peace to build up.
I knew he felt terrible that he wasn't able to hand over a perfect planet to us as had been expected of him but I wished I could let him know he didn't owe anyone that. He was just a child when this burden was placed on him and he didn't even get the accurate information or preparation.
It made me giddy that we could do this together, build and cement a future where our people could coexist in harmony and peace.
Hopefully, Xander gets the help he needs so he can continue our legacy even when we're gone.
I didn't know if these powers I got meant that I would live as long as them but I wasn't holding up hope for that. Still, I refused to imagine getting old alone while Xavier still remained young.
After collecting my thoughts, I checked the time and it was already 2pm.
I wanted to just go home and rest before our date, but a lot of things needed changing and budget allocation, and I wanted to do all the hard work at the beginning before resting.
Besides, we were still trying to fix the clean water situation when Xander started crying, so I decided to call them back so we could sort that out before I went home.
Everyone came back except Kayan. Apparently, he had gone home, not expecting me to actually come back.
“Well, he's not going to be important in the meeting anyway; he's always more interested in finding what's wrong with every suggestion, so this is better,” I said as I waved them over to their seats.
Most of the solutions to the problems here were pretty easy, Koi and his brother just didn't give a fuck in the first place.
After the meeting, I took the car home, I was too drained to teleport.
When I got to the gate, a surprise was waiting for me.
And it wasn't a pleasant one.
Aisen, the Drak I'd escaped from was coming down from a small jet packed in the large space before our gate.
