Hunnie Inzotta





Will I have this baby tonight, or what!



This pain was horrible, and I couldn't believe no one had returned yet.



I began pacing back and forth around the room, holding my stomach and trying to soothe the pain that accompanied it. There was stretching, contorting, and tightening along with my son resting on organs he shouldn't even reach!



Growing frustrated, I made my way to the doors, leaving this empty and heaven-forsaken room! With every step, a new pain radiated up and over my body.





"Hey!

You in pain?"



A voice comes behind me, and I turn to see Bahm creeping up behind me with open arms. I nod to his question, and suddenly, all my pain vanishes in his embrace. I look up at the warm expression on his face, shooting him a small smile, and he kisses my lips before sniffing me.





"Where did you go?"





His expression changes, one more nervous, and he replies by saying he went to help Leolo with something. Right away, I could tell he was lying, and I think he noticed this too.



"You know why, Hunnie.

Don't make me say it."





"Don't you think you two should--"





-"No, Hunnie.

No more!"

His voice raises, and he turns to face away from me. My pain came back immediately, but not as heavy as before. I believe this was the false contractions, so it didn't alarm me, but what did was Bahm's attitude.





"So...

It's true, then?"





"What?

That I'm a monster that fed, beat, r*ped, and even m*lested my own spawn?

Yes, Hunnie!"





I walked up and around him, holding his arms as tears sprung out his closed eyes. His jaw clenched, and his breathing was heavy.





"It was an accident, Bahm, no one knew-"





"It doesn't matter.

I can't face him...I'm sorry."

He lowers his head, holding in the sob that wanted to burst out, and I stand on my tip-toes to wrap my arms around his neck. Suddenly he began slumping down, much heavier than I thought!





We both slide down to the floor, and his shoulders begin shaking as he buries his head in my chest. I could feel his emotions ten-fold, through our bond and my heart, and I could even smell agony pouring out of his body.





"I can't...

I can't...

I just... can't."





"You're not a monster, Bahm, and I love you no matter what, and I know you love him too." His arms wrap around me, and he shakes his head no, causing a splint in my heart.



What does he mean no? I know he loves Kris; despite everything they've been through, he loves Kris. There's a reason why he came into his life. Maybe, they weren't sure how to handle their emotions of love toward one another, so they took it as modern-day love, not a father and son love.





"Our son will be here soon," he says suddenly and all the hair rise on my body.



"When?

Today?" He shakes and lifts his head, assuring me it wasn't tonight, but how he could supernaturally smell the thinness of my womb opening up.

It was strange, but I'm sure a half-Demon and Dark Fei as himself will always have extra abilities that most will never understand.



He is my gifted, super mate.





We stayed in the room, having dinner, mostly me, for Bahm sat staring out the window out towards the field of daisies. He hadn't said one word, andly wanted to see Kris too, but not sure how to ask.





Would this man, we couldn't be mates anymore?

Was I now...his...stepmother?



While I was eating, thinking about it all, I found myself stuffing my face and crying at the same time. I kept quiet enough, so I wasn't heard, but I'm sure my emotions were leaking out like a leaky faucet.





"Just ask," Bahm says suddenly, still seated and facing the window.





Not wanting to burst out bawling, I ignored his words and continued to force-feed my stomach until he finally left the window side.





"Why are you crying, Hunnie? Talk to me."





"I want to see him," I say, and his nostrils flare before he shuts his eyes tightly.





"Then ask!"





"Can I go see Kris?"





"NO!" He roars and my whole body quivered.





"Why not, Bahm? I am still his ma--"





--"BECAUSE HE'S MY CHILD!!!

I WILL NOT LET HIM HAVE MY WOMAN!"





More tears flow down his face before he vanishes right before my eyes. He was right. I have to stop pursuing Kris. He isn't mine to have, he never was. This tore me down, leading me to take a hot bath in The Healing Chambers' inground bathtub.





I bawled, and bawled, and bawled. Poor Kris.

The tiny kid from Asia that was head over heels for me since kindergarten. All the times I shot him down, yet considered him a best friends despite knowing how he felt for me. Why did this have to happen?



Now he's all alone in his chambers, worrying and sulking about all of this. I know he was. Now he has to process that his Demon companion that found him all those years go, was his father. Why did the Heavens punish them both? I didn't understand why.





"You've been in there a long time.

Do you want to cook our son?"



Bahm magically shows up in the room, but I ignore him, rolling my eyes and turning to face the wall to my side. I could feel him approaching with something in his hands, and when I turned to look it was a towel.





"I get you're up. I'll'll try my hardest to answer your questions, Hunnie, but please understand where I'm coming from."





"So why did you leave?"





"I needed to clear my mind.

This is...

This is a lot for me, so please bare with me." His eyes glossed over and I stand in the tub, rinsing the soapy suds off my naked body.



After draining the tub, I took the towel from Bahm. Wow this is a big towel. Is this a beach towel? I'm surprised it could fit around me!



Bahm effortlessly lifts me out of the tub by my arms and places me on the bed. He begins speaking all on his own without me asking any questions.





"It started when I was just 18 years old.

A scent that smelled strange to me, led me to an angel that kept coming down from the heavens to help farmers grow their crops.

She used her magic to purify their lands, and I noticed this right away since she accidentally helped a farmer in our village, one that I placed a spell on to make him starve for calling me a devil spawn.

I knew it was a miracle and wanted to know how it happened, so I followed the scent she had left behind. Long story short, she knew I was following her and wasn't afraid of me. She taught me how to worship nature, and I fell in love with her. She was a beauty, reminding me of yourself.



We had a child, secretly, one I would never to tell Hiliana about. I was planning on running away from her. She was very controlling.



The day Ah'Nhi told me she was pregnant, she also told me The heavens wouldn't be pleased. Not because she was thousands of years older than me, but because I was a Demon, and the birth should have never happened.



Hiliana someway somehow got a hold of The Heavens and told them. They took my baby away, and I've never seen Ah'Nhi, or that child again."







"Do you...Remember what she looks like?"





"No, but I'm sure the Heavens made it so I wouldn't recognize my child and his mother. The way Kris' mother looks at me, now that I think about it, it's her"



A cold shiver runs down my spine. A memory of Kris' mother always being so distant from him came to mind. He always used to say his mother told him one day his father would come and take him, so she didn't want to get close. That was what drew me closer to Kris. He was a troubled kid who needed loving.





"Hunnie...

I'm sorry to say this, but...

You have to reject him."
