"No, they weren’t, Izzy You’re pregnant That mark on your neck is a pretty clear indication and those du doubts," he said evenly as he doubled his pace, forcing her to practically run through the water to keep up with hi what the hell rong with everyone She’d seen the blockage in the ultrasound ies and knew there was absolutely no way that she could be pregnant

None

"It’s only appears as a rash in the beginning, but now it’s a circle, the sy a hunant for another four nancies only take half the ti a human or a Sentinel baby," he said, but she was only half listening as she reached up with a shaky hand and traced the small raised circle beneath her ear where the rash used to be

"What do you mean by, ‘if I kept the child’?" she asked numbly, afraid to even blink and discover that this was a dreaht with a watery smile A baby? She never dreamed this could ever happen, but what if it was?

Having a baby would change things and she’d definitely have to see about getting trained and buying a house with the best security ive her baby the childhood she alanted She couldn’t believe it It felt like winning the lottery She wanted to cry, ju someone

"I meant exactly what it sounded like, Munchkin You can’t keep the baby As soon as we get to the conancy," Chris said, bringing her world crashing down around her

This fking hurt, he thought , grinding his teeth together as he did his best to get them the hell out of there At least four of his ribs were broken, one of the if the pain he felt every time he sucked in a breath was any indication His shoulder and leg were killing hi when sharp pain shot through his lung

Izzy yanked her hand away froht himself before he stumbled She didn’t need to knoas in bad shape He didn’t want to scare her, but if they were found noouldn’t be able to put up ht to keep her safe He’d only be able to shoot theood with Djaeho demons It would just piss the this, he needed help for his mate It was a chance he didn’t want to take, but he had no choice His only hope was that whoever answered his call had brains enough to get Izzy to a co her in a Sentinel home would only cause more problems, problems that a Sentinel couple wouldn’t be able to handle on their own Izzy needed to be brought to a couard her and help get her ass out of the country

"Did you seriously just tell nant only to turn around and tellher anger to haul ass through the water ahead of hi in a pained breath, he pulled his Sentinel phone out of his bag and scanned his thumbprint As the phone slid open he kept his thumb firmly pressed to the screen and pressed 1-1-2-5, the SOS code that would hopefully get his little mate the protection that she needed

When he didn’t answer, because he couldn’t, she continued "Because I’ll let you know right now, buddy, that’s not your choice! I never expected this and I sure as hell never planned on it, but I’oing to take more than just you to take away from me," she practically yelled, which was okay at theto breathe

With a shaky hand he placed the phone back in the bag, sealed it and placed it in his pocket before he did so stupid like drop it He wrapped an arm around his chest to help lessen the pain, but it didn’t help Holy fk, this hurt Every breath felt like sos

"I don’t want children, Munchkin," he soed to bite out He’d never allowed himself to want any children of his own He was more than fine with his brothers and sister and future nieces and nephews, but he would never have one of his own He just couldn’t take the chance that he’d hurt his child, he just couldn’t

"Good for you, buddy You don’t want this baby then that’s fine," she said, sounding close to tears and if he wasn’t in soone foot in front of the other while he slowly trailed behind her he’d grab her and pull her into his ar, but he couldn’t
