Chapter-6
I woke up the next morning something. Being whipped across my stomach which made me jump when I seen an elder. Running something like a alta sound thing over my stomach.
"Sorry my dear prince we wanted to make sure you had an working womb. Which yours is working perfectly fine." He said.
"Why are you doing it while I'm alseep." I said, interrupted him before he could finish glaring irritatedly.
"My appologies." He said, looking down. I got up as they walked out.
"Some people I swear." I muttered to myself. As I got dressed putting on a breathable tank top. Since I still can't regulate my own body temperature. I walked out to find my parents in the main hall as I braided my hair. Since it was always in the way. Mother smiled dragging me in. The dinning hall to make sure I ate breakfast. I ate mainly eggs and bacon. I also had some organge juice. But I didn't touch the toast at all. When Raphael jacked it off my plate.
"Do you not like bread?" He asked, biting it. When I pulled a paper out the alpha gave me.
"Apha had me on a specialized diet when lived with the pack to give me a perfect rashoe of fat and muscle. It makes me extremely healthy. Call me a health nut. I don't like breaking routine." I said, when my mother came up to me with tears in her eyes. I jumped up running over to her.
"Baby I need to know the truth. Be honest with me I'm not mad at you." She said, as I caressed her cheek.
"But mom you know. I wouldn't lie to you about anyting." I assured her. As my dad walked over with the same look on his face. He put his hands on my shoulders and made me sit down. As Rafael came over to investigate.
"Now son one of the elders told us. That carrying something. Did you know about this they said. It looks over four months." He said I just stared at him blankly.
"Carrying something? Dad I'm confused what do you mean?" I started as he pulled up a pictures of a ultrasound. Which showed a baby. I felt all the blood run from my face as I heard Rafaela gasped behind me.
"Son of a bitch. I'm sorry I didn't know I mean it happened. Before I even blossomed. So I didn't think anything of it I didn't even know. I was a skinwalker at the time. Let alone a type of dragon with both." I said, looking down angerly. Knowing that I should have known. I mean I'm a king what type of King. Doesn't even realize there carrying something so precious.
"So who's the father. You can tell us we won't judge." He assured me trying to coax me to tell them.
"It was my brother's best friend. He's a purbref camera. It was kind of a secret. Since it was a purebred you didn't want people to know. So they wouldn't go after me. But we've been together for five years he was the first person I ever told I like males. Okay at the time. I thought it was weird. Because I didn't know I was both. And I was never really interested in girls. And due to the fact that. I didn't want to embarrass my family. I kept it to myself then he came along and yeah. Needless to say I was crazy about him. But right before I went to camp. I found and his family had arranged him to marry a female. I was so heartbroken. So I left without saying the word. What am I going to do I can't raise this by myself and I'm not getting rid of it either.
"Well good cuz we weren't going to suggest. That well we can find you a fiance if you like. Or you can find him and tell him and if he's a purebred. I can get ahold of his family and arrange it." Father assured me.
"Well it's going to be kind of hard since he's a?.." I said not wanting to finish my sentence knowing. That my dad knew very well who his father was. Because his father was a King to.
"What Zeus you can tell me." Father coaxed me.
"He's a Darkshire. As in the kings. That's why his parents didn't approve of us when they found out. Which is why they arranged him to marry someone else. Because he wanted to ask for my hand and they didn't approve." I replied nervously playing with my fingers as my father grew the hugest grin.
"You mean Ricochet I love that guy. Don't think his father would disapprove when he finds out that I am your biological father. Especially if he finds out your caring is grandkid. So why not let me tell him see what he says see if they still disapprove." Father exclaimed.
"You don't know how much that mean to me. But I know that he doesn't want to leave his fiance now. Cuz she's pregnant with someone else's kid. And I know how much he wants to play father. He's already grown attached to this child. And their fathers not in the picture. I can't do that to a kid. Especially hen hers is already born." I said as uncontrollable tears rub down my face as Raphael comforted me.
"Yeah but you'll never know if you never try. I know you're young and I know it's scary. But you got to think of what's best for your offspring. Don't you want them to know their dad? I'm not letting my grandkids grow up without a dad. So either way they're going to have to be told. Are you for sure it's his?" Father asked.
"Dad I assure you there's no other person. It could have been he's the only person I did that with. And it's literally around. The same time I would have conceived. I just feel like such an idiot cuz I made a big mess out of everything. I have no idea how to take care of a kid. And he's a lot older than me. He still thinks I'm a kid if he finds this out he's gonna freak. Plus in all honesty I don't really think you ever cared for me that much. Even though I do know I absolutely love the guy. I don't like saying that out loud." I survived into Rafael's chest as he hugged me.
"But if he wasn't serious about you why would he ask for your hand. And I know this is hard but I'll be there every step of the way and hey if he doesn't want to raise the kid. I promise you won't be alone and play da. If you want me to. Believe it or not I'm actually really good with kids and I love children." He assured me kissing my head.
"Thanks you know I feel bad. For being such an ass whole to you the first time we met. You know I don't deserve you being so nice." I chuckled through my sobs.
"I'm not mad at you one bit I totally deserve that I was being kind of a dick. So don't sweat it my dear. And like I said I'll help you every step of the way. So you're not going to be completely lost. Wipe those tears or Imma call you my woman." He said making me laugh. As I pulled away and he wiped my face.
"See now there's that handsome smile." He said giving me an eskimo kiss. Which made me laugh.
"You know I can't thank you enough. I'm pretty pathetic. I mean look at me what kind of king. Cries eyes out like a big ass baby." I laughed, calming myself down.
"So I'm guessing if it doesn't work. Out with the dad would you like us. To arrange one between you and Raphael. In other words Raphael would you like to be his fiance? You seem to care for him a great deal and I would. Actually know he's in good hands. I'm sorry but you know. I'm not handing my son over to just anybody." Father asked, and the expression on his face. Was not what I expected. He looked beyond overjoyed.
"I would absolutely love to. But that's up to him I'm not going to. Force him into making a serious decision like that. But I just want you to know in advance. But I would definitely take care of him and the child. All right hope and raise it like it's my own." Raphael assured me taking me by the hand looking me in the eye making. Sure he know he was dead-ass serious. That he meant every single word. As he moved one of his hands too over my stomach. As I could family feel something moving inside. When he places his hand. Causing me to smile.
"I would love to like I said I especially. If it doesn't work out between his dad and me. I do want to get a hold of him and let him know at least. So dad I would like you to get ahold of his family. But I appreciate you offering. I don't know who else to turn to at this point. I know none of the males and I don't know who to trust with something so precious. And I don't know many meals that would accept a child that is not theirs." I exclaimed trying to still hold back my tears. As he gently kiss my forehead. Pulling me into a hug again.
"Yeah well I'm not most males. I love children. But more than anything. I want you to be loved you deserve that much. I'm afraid that your ex-partner might not give that to you. Because if the mothers depressed. How is she going to love their child. I'm more worried about you. I know your child will be okay right now. While they're still in the womb. My main priority is you. So until they're born I need you to stay by my side the entire time. Even when you go to see the father. And I'm very sure your mother would agree with me. Pregnancy for a dragon is completely different than with any other being. And for the type of male you are it's even harder and a lot more painful." Raphael exclaimed putting his head to mine. I just kissed his cheek. As my father walked away pulling on his phone.
"Just so you know dragon is more dominant the most like your child. Is another Golden Dragon. Which makes your pregnancy even more crucial. And from what I can hello from the ultrasound look exactly like your dragon form so it is most likely going to be the same type. I'm sorry I told your parents but you seem very irritated earlier and I didn't want to upset you too much. Knowing how far along you are and with. How young and inexperienced you are. We didn't want to stress you out too much. But we couldn't just not inform you. So we told your parents. Figured it was the best approach since you really only trust then. Which I honestly don't blame you. I mean you're new to the area. You don't know any of us. I can't blame you for being cautious I would be to. But I could tell from your blood that you were very stressed out. Which can cause your scales to go black. Which is probably also why they got you confused with the demon. But this also causes your power to be very destructive and chaotic. More like a demons." They other that was taking my ultrasound earlier said showing himself.
"I don't blame you. I was pretty aggravated this morning. Honestly that explains a lot. I didn't know I could do that. But I thank you for telling my parents. Because if you hadn't I wouldn't of known. I'm kind of still just a kid. I'm sorry I snapped at you." I said, giving him a hug. Which surprised him. Because he was very hesitant when he hugged me back.
"Hey what kind of great-grandfather would. I be if I didn't tell my son he was going to be a grandpa." He replied when I pulled away suddenly.
"Wait hold up your dad's dad why didn't you just tell me you were my grandfather. Man don't I feel like an ass. I am so sorry I snapped at you."
"Don't sweat it my boy. I should have been the one that tell you. But I was worried. When I noticed that I normally and I wanted. To confirm it with the printouts. Before I send anything." He said pulling me down because my forehead. When my dad walked over and handed me the phone.
"It's Ricochet he wants to talk to you. Although I told them was. That you were my son. His dad was actually pretty overjoyed. But when Ricochet overheard him. He took the phone and asked to talk to you personally."
He said, as I took it walking back over to Rafael. I put it up to my ear. As Raphael put his ear to the other side to hear what he was saying.
"Hi Ricochet." I said hesitantly.
"Wow honey your voice changed so much. So is what he's telling me true are you really The Dragon King son?" He asked, excitedly. As everyone gathered around trying to listen as a friend of the volume as loud. As I could without putting it on speaker. So he wouldn't hear any of them talking.
"Yeah I'm Zeus Michelangelo is my middle name. My last name on my birth certificate is even Leviathan. But my first name is in Dragon tongue so only I could actually read it. I'm the only Golden Dragon. Only a king can produce one so yes I am definitely his son." I answered nervously.
"Baby that's awesome. I mean your brother told me. That he thinks you were adopted. Because he accidentally seen some of the papers. But there was nothing written in there about you being a skinwalker. But I was the only person your brother told." He replied happily.
"But that's not the reason. I called and I don't know how you're going to react to this but I hope it's not negatively. Now listen I'm just telling you. I'm not pushing you into anything. But I figured you had a right to know." I said, swallowing the big lump in my throat.
"Well I figured babe. But what was the reason why you called me. Are you okay?" He asked curiously.
"Well you know how some real dragons can be both?" I asked realizing just how nervous I actually was.
"Yeah wait holy shit. Are you one of those type?" He asked I could tell. By his voice that he was excited.
"Yeah but it's not just that. They said thay when they were checking out my reproductive organs. To see if I was all working properly and they kind of found something. But it didn't even dawn on me. Because you know last time you did stuff was. Before I even blossomed I didn't even know if you know. I was a skinwalker. It was my grandfather who found it and told my parents who told me. But like I said. I'm not trying to push you in anything. I'm just letting you know. Because you know for damn sure the only person. I did anything with was you." I said feeling the tears rolling down my cheeks again.
"How far along?" He asked.
They say over four months around the same time I left which means you know the exact date I conceived They're also telling me that from the embryo. It is a purebred golden dragon just like me." I replied, as mom. Wiped my tears. As Rafael hugged me keeping his ear to the phone.
"How many? Cuz I know that dragons can have more than one offspring?"I lived over my grandfather who lifted three fingers. Which made me lose all feeling in my face.
"Three. Which is news to me. Because they only told me. I was pregnant they didn't told me how many. Like I said I'm not forcing you to be involved. I just wanted you to know. Since they are yours. But I know that you were already have one. That you're raising. And you know how. I feel about taking their dad away from their kid." I said hearing him let out a deep breath. I also heard gas in the background. Which meant he had it on speaker.
"Yeah butKate isn't mine and you know that. These on the other hand are my children. What would make you think that. I would want. Out of the picture.I mean I literally asked my dad for your hand in marriage Name a reason you told me know it was. Because he thought you were human. Now that he knows you weren't. He's not keeping me away from you. No one is understand." He growled slightly in the phone. Which I could tell by Rafael's look he Was not happy with his reply.
"You do know the only way to my dad's. Going to agree with that is if you're not engaged to her. My dad would not allow that I am his only child.His only heir And he is a king.Which meansI'm going to be the next king of dragons. Are you still okay with that. Cuz I know that you guys have been getting close.And you know how much. I care for you and want to make sure. That you are certain that this is what you want. Dragons mate for life. Even after death. You know that. So once it's done it can never be undone." I said, finally trying to calm myself down.When I hurt somebody else take the phone.
"Consider it done sweetie. I'm not mad. If these are his children he needs to be in their lives. I'm not going to stand in the way of that. I feel the same way you do. I can't take a father away from his children and if he is their biological father. Which I know for sure that you were too honest to lie about. I will happily give him up. Honestly if I would have known that you were the person. He wanted to marry first. I would have stayed out of the way. I knew there was a reason why he adored you. So much and I will happily back you both up.And if you need any help with the little ones don't hesitate to ask I'm on myself I know how it is. Plus I was very young when I had my first one. I can only imagine having three especially if you're the type I can only imagine having three. Especially if you're the dragon. That give live birth not lays eggs. It's going to be much more painful and hectic on your body. So I'm more than happy to watch them and you need a break." I heard his fiance Nicki say.
"Thank you for being understanding. I didn't. Honestly expect that. I expected you to React to quite the opposite. Since he was helping raise your child." I chuckled.
"Sweetie we're not human we don't do that. We handle these delicate situations As gently as we can. Besides these are his biological children. I can't take him away from them. And just so you know his father's already changing the his engagement. Just so you know your family's over here too. They they over heard that as well. from their faces. I'm guessing you didn't tell them. Because your brothers literally. About ready to tear you a new one." She snickered.
"Oh shit sorry bro. I was going to tell you I wanted to do it more in person though please don't be mad. I figured you wouldn't believe me unless you're seeing me. I mean come on did you see my human form before I was puny. Now I'm taller than my dad. And my biological father is one of theTallest Kings. So I should give you an idea of how Different eye look." I pleaded.When I heard snickering and giggling in the background.
"We're not mad just really surprised we weren't expecting. Any of that and it caught us really off guard. And you know we love you no matter what bro.So when are you getting your ass over here so I can see you." My brother asked.
"As soon as we take him over. Where you want us to drop them off. Because we're making him. Take one of his friends with him. One I'm asigning as his personal guard. So I take it that his family has agreed to my terms. Because I'm not handing my son to just anyone. Like he said he is my only child. So he is the only one that can take my place as king. I want to make sure that he is taken care of. As well as his children." My father said, taking the phone.
"I accept all terms. You got to remember these aren't. Just your grandkids their mine too.I'm not standing in the way of my son bothering his own children." His father replied. Sending him a picture of a signed contract. Of the terms of agreement. That we were arranged to. Be married since I was technically underaged. Agreeing that there would be no foul play between the marriage Which means that my fiance. Couldn't cheat on me and I couldn't cheat on him. But that also meant that we couldn't get a divorce In the future. Making me for more at ease knowing that they were serious.
"Good now I know you're serious." My biological father replied.
"Dear old friend. Do you take me for a fool. I am very serious.Ricochet is my only son as well." His birth father said.
