reached for Sin, only to come up with a cool expanse of sheets. Groaning, she popped one eye open and looked at the time. It was one in the afternoon.
She’d never slept so late in her life, though with the wedding reception lasting until well past midnight, Sapphire gave herself a little wiggle room. She’d had a couple of exhausting days, so waking up at one felt just right.
Still she couldn’t believe her little brother was married. Surprisingly, Mark’s new bride Cara turned out to be his mate. Even if her little brother hadn’t figured it out for himself, the mating pull was still alive in those two. Just maybe not as volatile as the one between her and Sin.
Stretching, Sapphire let out a large yawn and stared at the ceiling, still feeling tired. But in all fairness, with the wedding and Sin keeping her in his bed for the better part of a day and night, Sapphire had been surprised she hadn’t just collapsed at the wedding reception. She was starving as she hopped out of bed, her stomach rolling ominously.
Sapphire clutched onto the bedpost and waited, thinking it would pass, but then it happened again, and again, and finally Sapphire ran to the bathroom. A few minutes later, praying to the porcelain God for help, Sapphire lolled her head to the side waiting for the feeling of nausea to pass.
It took a few more minutes, but Sapphire was finally able to lift her head and get up to the sink. Must be the stress. Sapphire thought as she splashed water on her face, and grabbed her tooth brush to wash the vomit off of her teeth.
Opening the medicine cabinet in the hopes of finding some pink Pepto-Bismol or something. A cute little tampon package greeted her, fully stocked and reminding Sapphire that her monthly friend hadn’t come to visit. Shaking her head, Sapphire counted the days since her last period. She could calculate her period like clockwork because it came every 28 days, sometimes she could even tell the exact time it would come. “Last Sunday… Fuck. A week since I got--” Sapphire stopped.
No. She thought as she stripped off her clothes and looked at herself in the mirror. Her nose was a little bigger, and on closer inspection her breasts were rounder and felt like a thousand needles were poking her. A closer look at her stomach revealed the barest of bumps, like she might have had a really good meal, except no matter how many times she tried to suck in her stomach the little bump wouldn’t go away.
“It’s impossible. It’s fucking impossible.”
She was pregnant.
