★★★FOURTH POV★★★

It was my luck that Prim turned out to be easy to talk to. I think she probably already felt something off before we came to her.

She greeted as with big smile but this smile faded away very soon. She let us in to her room. It was really cozy place and full of warmth that matched Prim's warm autumn vibe. Gemini was the one who told her what I earlier said to him. She didn't look surprised only very sad.

"I know it already ai Gem. But thank you for telling me. I knew you are great friend".

Her sadness was something else. It was as if in the whole room full or warmth there was big ball full of cold and ice. I knew imadiately that she tried very hard to be strong. Maybe she didn't want to show her full pain in front of me. I felt pity for her. I thought Gem as good friend will come to her and hug her at least, because she seemed to need it, but he didn't do it. He didn't even touch her, which surprised and confused me a lot.

"Why didn't you tell me that you wanted to have a child?"

"I told you, but you were so focused on hating Fourth that you didn't care of what I said. You never remember what I tell you. I told you and you agreed and few moments later you threw a baloon full of water at Fourth".

"I did something like that?! I don't remember it!"

Weird, because not only Prim remembered this. I also still remember the moment, when the baloon hit my head. I turned back to see who it was and I knew it was Norawit, but I didn't have any proof, he was pretending that he was reading a book with very innocent face.

Two hours later...

Gem adjusted my pillow. It seemed like a simple gesture, but I felt uneasy. Just two months ago, the same man pushed me while I was talking to my cousin First in the corridor of the Institute in such a way that I fell down and the others laughed out loud. It's hard to believe that it's the same guy...

I still wonder... Is Gemini acting like this because he remembers 'that' story?

When he called me Susanne, a cold shiver ran down my spine, and flashes of memories from my dreams appeared in my head, a bit blurry, but with a huge emotional charge.

That's probably why he's nice to me, maybe he's also tormented by guilt? But what happened, I kind of agreed to it, right? What's worse, I can't forget that I started it.

"Do you need anything else?" He asked me in such a gentle and sweet tone that I had to rub my eyes with my hands to make sure I wasn't dreaming.

"No thanks, I have everything I need," I replied quickly, nodding my chin to the bedside cabinet. I had a whole bottle of water, some juices, fruits, and even some sweets. Someone had also placed an adorable purple teddy bear on the bed next to me.

"Are you sure? Because, you know, all you have to do is say it. Feel free to ask for anything".

I grimaced.

That tone of voice, that smile, that whole gentleness somehow didn't fit the Norawit I knew. The other one liked to raise his voice, treat everyone with superiority, as if he was better than everyone else, criticized everyone, made fun of my passion for motorsport... Had someone replaced him or something?

«What if the Gemini sitting in the chair next to my bed was a demon?

Wait... No, that's impossible» - I contradicted myself in my thoughts. - «If it was a demon, it wouldn't be nice to me. The demon would try to murder me at the first opportunity. From what Professor Tay explained to us, demons don't have the ability to think logically, they can't come up with complicated plans on their own. They also don't have feelings or emotions, but they can detect them. If that's true, then the Gemini who's currently looking at me with a strange look that I don't understand is the real Gemini.

Maybe he's just in shock?

After all, it just turned out that he's going to have a child...»

When I thought about that, my gaze fell on my own stomach. I still can't get used to it. I didn't think it would ever happen... I've talked about it with Tu once, but my sister is a Non-Magic, she doesn't understand all the issues related to my world...

"You really don't feel strange?"

Gemini tore me out of my thoughts. I'm not sure why he wants to know. He's not really worried about me, it must be about something else. Maybe he feels like he has to take care of me because of our past?

"What do you mean by 'strange' Norawit?" To be safe, I called him by his full name, although that also seems somehow out of place.

"You know..." He said and pointed to my stomach. "You're a guy after all and... and you're going to have a child. Seriously, doesn't that seem weird to you?"

Very good question. I wondered that myself. I put my hand in that area.

"I don't know, I guess it's not sinking in yet. I feel a little different, but not really. I can actually go back to training. I'm not terminally ill, and the exercise certainly won't hurt me."

"You can't!" Gem shouted so loudly that I looked around out of habit, but luckily we were alone in our apartment, no one to overhear us or scold us for yelling.

"Why can't I? Norawit, I remind you that you don't own my life. Just because we're going to have a child together doesn't mean we're close. Our past shouldn't affect our relationship either. The present is now, we live in this moment and not a hundred years ago, don't let these old memories cloud your vision", I answer him rebelliously. I don't want to hurt him, but he annoys me. He's overly caring, and I can't stand that.

After my words, Gem hung his head sadly. He looked depressed.

And what now? What should I do? Comfort him? Why did I even say that? I'm a fool, right?

I stretched my hand out in front of me and touched Gem's hand with it. Only then did I feel them shaking slightly. He made that beaten puppy face again. A cute face. That face that will probably always melt my heart.

I sighed slightly and put on the most sincere smile I could muster at that moment.

"Gemini, don't be mad at me. I'm just in shock, I don't know how to behave. This is very new for me, give me time".

Did I sound like someone begging his secret lover to understand him because he desperately doesn't want to lose him? Maybe. And that's what worries me. The fact that I'm becoming even softer around him... A king can't be soft and gentle, because that's weakness. A king has to be fair and tough, he can't be convinced so easily.

Wait... What king? I'm not going to be king anymore...

It was like a stab in the back. The worst thing was that I couldn't do anything about it... Nothing!

I turned my head to the side so he wouldn't see the sadness in my eyes. For him, I've always been weak and average, I don't want him to think I'm completely worthless. I have to be strong. Regardless of the circumstances. I have to find a way to keep fighting for the crown.

And I think I even came up with an idea.

The problem is my pregnancy, right? That's the biggest obstacle. And what do you do with obstacles that can't be avoided?

You remove them!

Yes, that's an idea, a very good idea and the only way out of this situation. I can't afford to lose like that. Yes, I dream of a family, but not yet... This is not the right time to start a family. I... I have other obligations. I've already made a promise to someone and I can't break my word. I also promised that I would change the law in our magical world. Apparently someone knew about my plans and used Gasly to get rid of me as a candidate. I have to think carefully about who I was bothering so much?

Perth...

Perth Tanapon, a rich kid, until recently one of Norawit's closest friends, but their friendship ended when the election of the new king was announced. It's quite possible that he was the spy who reported everything to Gasly.

If that's true, then I won't be defeated so easily. I'm not the same scared kid I was at the beginning. I don't have much to lose. I have to hide my sister in a safe place and then come up with a plan. I can't leave anything to chance.

Slightly dreamily, I looked at him again. He was staring at me as if he could sense what I wanted to do, but he didn't stop me, he just nodded briefly and said.

"Okay, I understand, but if you need anything, you know, like going for a walk, let me know, I won't let you go alone in this condition".

"In what condition?" I asked teasingly.

"You... Eeeee... You know... err... in your condition, you know, you're pregnant".

"Thanks for reminding me every five seconds, I'd completely forgotten that I was an invalid with a broken spine," I snorted.

That wasn't like me either. I'd never been sarcastic before, but since living with Gem, I've been taking on more and more of his traits, his habits... That's probably not good.

I smiled.

I did it again. Another first for me. Because of my adoptive parents, I stopped showing emotions or feelings a long time ago, I even stopped smiling, and today is the second or third time that a smile appears on my face and this time it is completely genuine. I am grateful to Norawit for being able to distract me from my gloomy thoughts.

Although he can still piss me off.

Like this moment, when he went to the bathroom for a moment and came back with a slightly damp towel because he said he had to wash my face.

"What? It's dusty, I have to wash your face, otherwise you'll get sick".

I had only one answer to that. I snatched the towel from his hands and quickly slid it under his shirt.

"And I think it's your heart that needs to be washed, because it's dusty and doesn't work very well because of that".

Gemini stiffened. He looked into my eyes and everything ceased to exist. There were only our two souls, full of longing and something else I couldn't name. He parted his lips slightly, as if he wanted to tempt me. I involuntarily moistened my lips with my tongue. Suddenly the room became very hot.

"Are you... are you trying to seduce me, Nattawat?" Gemini asked in a changed, deep voice. I held my breath, he was breathing quickly and loudly. Suddenly I realized how close we were to each other, all I had to do was move forward a little...

Without thinking much, I grabbed him by the neck with my free hand and pulled him closer to me.

"And what do you think?" I answered the question with a question, noticing that my voice sounded different too.

"We-we can't..."

"Why not? I'm not going to get any more pregnant than I already am", I said, then added jokingly, feeling the tense atmosphere begin to dissipate: "You're a master of mood-killing and you're not romantic at all".

I had no idea that with that sentence I would awaken some hungry monster inside him.

As soon as I finished speaking, Norawit hungrily pressed his lips against mine.

His lips were soft and greedy, a little aggressive, but that was just how he was. His hand moved to my cheek, and it felt so damn good and I didn't want him to stop. Somewhere in the back of my mind, a memory of Dr. WanDee's words about how my body would be much more sensitive now surfaced. Up until now, I didn't understand what he meant. And now I do.

"Don't ever say I'm not romantic".

"Ge-em!"I groaned as he bit my ear lightly. I tried to push him away. In vain. For a moment, I thought he didn't sense my resistance, but then he looked me straight in the eye and immediately jumped to the side.

"Dang, Fourth, I'm so sorry! We shouldn't have! Baby, I'm sorry. I didn't hurt you?"

The anxiety and concern were so clearly audible in his voice that I was speechless!

We avoided each other's gaze, still sitting next to each other without a word, for a good minute, trying to calm our breaths.

"Gem, calm down, nothing's wrong with me".

"Are you sure?"

"A billion percent. Besides, it's my fault, I provoked you, so I learned my lesson, I deserved it".

"Okieeeey. It's me... I need to use the bathroom, excuse me for a moment", He apologized briefly and ran away, hiding in the bathroom. I, on the other hand, hid my face in my hands, not believing what had just happened.

I briefly thought about my own behavior. I talked about the pregnancy so openly because I had the impression that I was talking about someone else, that I wasn't the unfortunate guy who was a fucking hybrid, which could get him pregnant. Up until now, I felt like I was talking about a stranger and not myself. It still didn't sink in. For me, it was as if Phuwin was pregnant and not me, or better yet, as if it was a fictional character from a book.

Whoever wrote the story of my life should get a good kick in the ass. What kind of idea was it to get pregnant just when the fate of the royal crown was at stake? Author of my life, I hate you! But thanks for Gem, it's great that things are changing.

💪💎❤️😈💦🔥😘

From author!

Hi Magicals!

Long time no see, huh?! Most of you probably already forgot about me and this story, but I'm going to give you this chapter anyways.

I hope it's not very bad. Actually I had different story written for boys but my laptop is not working as it should and it deleted my 30K words... So I had to write it again... Not sure if it's good enough.

But let me tell you, Gem is the cutest boy ever! Now I wish for us to meet in real at least once in this life-time. And I hope he will always have Fourth in his life!
