She grins looking up at him. “It wasn’t them I was stalking. It wasn’t even you, demon, that I was after. So sweet. So precious. So….repressed. I had to taste that climax, and I will.”
Nicholas glances over to Aliya, who gives him a look as she shrugs her shoulders. “I see. Well, Kaden, it’s really quite simple how I could do that. It was either risk the babies or lose all three. Are you ready to lose all of them? Would you rather I just allow her to lie there and die? I could have, but I know you love her. If, and I do stress if, something happens to the babies, you can try again. If something happens to Melanie, it’s over. Done. You can’t have another Melanie. Get it? It wasn’t any easy choice to make.”
“Kaden,” Melanie whispers. “I don’t like the fact that I had to make it,” Nicholas keeps going. “Kaden,” she calls again. “I did what I did with the hopes that all of this will go alright.”
“Kaden,” she calls again, pulling herself up. “Her heart rate is up, and she’s running a fever. Side effects of the drugs with a pregnant woman.”
“Kaden,” she calls louder. Nicholas turns to face her just as she throws up all over herself. Nicholas rushes over to her. “That’s not normal. That’s not good. Aliya, call an OB here.” She climbs from her bed heading towards the phone. “Throwing up happens sometimes when….a woman….goes into labor.” He looks up and across the bed Melanie is in at Kaden.
