Chapter 73: Check-up
"Oh my, are you already expecting a child?" Scarlet inquired, both surprised and touched as she placed her hand on Aurora’s stomach, hoping to feel any sign of movement.
"It takes months before a baby starts moving," Aurora pointed out, momentarily forgetting that she wasn’t pregnant. Standing up, she placed a hand on Scarlet’s shoulder and clarified, "I am not pregnant."
"But you have had intimate relations, so there might be a baby. Let’s get you tested," Scarlet suggested eagerly, unable to contain her excitement at the thought of Aurora having a child.
Frustrated, Aurora reluctantly allowed Scarlet to lead her out of the room. She wasn’t feeling well, and perhaps a check-up wouldn’t hurt.
"What should we name the child? Vincent?" Scarlet asked with enthusiasm as they headed towards the pack’s hospital. Aurora could see the joy on Scarlet’s face, and it made her wonder about Scarlet’s feelings towards children.
"Do you love kids?" Aurora inquired.
"Absolutely! They are blessings from Selena. I was going to name my baby girl blessing, if...." Scarlet replied before trailing off, realizing she may have said too much.
"You had a child?" Aurora asked, curious about Scarlet’s statement. If Scarlet did have a child, Aurora wondered where the child was.
"I mean, if I ever have a child, I would name her Blessing. I have always wanted a baby girl," Scarlet quickly corrected herself, picking up her pace toward the pack hospital.
