Adrianna was extremely tired after fighting continuously for two nights and also taking care of the kingdom. She really wanted to sleep and so that day when she fell asleep, Dmitri instructed all the servants not disturb her for the next three hours. Meanwhile he asked Fleur to create a portal for them and he walked holding her in his arms through it into the Werewolf Realm. He walked in their bedroom over there.
As soon as Adrianna was there, the Blue Moon pack territory was sealed for the rest of the day on the pretext that new laws were being made to enter the Blue Moon territory. When the new laws were made, the werewolves knew what the standard procedure was.
Dmitri made her lie on the bed and covered her with a blanket. Once he had done that and saw that she was comfortable, he went downstairs to talk to his mother.
Cora was sitting in the main hall looking at some doc.u.ments that Nate had brought. She already knew that Adrianna was there and so she didn't ask anything to Dmitri when he went and sat there. While she was looking at the doc.u.ments, she heard her son mentally and so did Nate. She smiled. She was ecstatic and Nate seemed excited.
"Mate, even Ookashi is pregnant!" he looked at Dmitri and said excitedly.
"Congratulations!" said Dmitri with a smile.
Cora kept the papers down on her side and after removing her glasses, she said, "Do you want to visit a doctor or would you like me to take a look?" She was smiling ear to ear.
"Mother, Adrianna thinks that we should go to the doctor to determine whether she is expecting or not," he said gently so that his mother didn't feel bad.
Nate chimed in. "Even Ookashi insisted that she go and see the doctor. She wasn't confident when the pack healer confirmed that she was pregnant."
Cora shook her head, "What can you expect from Adrianna? She had stayed with humans for too long to believe that we could confirm these things without the medical knowledge." Then she looked at Nate and said, "Your wife is a human. I don't expect her to believe at all."
Both Dmitri and Nate looked down feeling guilty about their wives but they couldn't do much. If their wives wanted a human doctor to take a look, so be it.
"When do you want to go?" she asked.
"As soon as she is awake," he replied.
"We can take her to Ookashi's doctor," suggested Nate once again excited.
"Sure, why not?" said Cora. She knew who Ookashi's doctor was. She was a well-renowned doctor in the town. "But I will accompany her."
Dmitri also wanted to come. How could he be left out? He wanted to hear the good news.
"Okay you can come," said Cora shaking her head.
Dmitri smiled and stood from his place. Then he gave a bear hug to Nate with a wink as if saying that both our wives are pregnant and that they would share the joy of parenthood together.
Nate was so excited that the moment he reached home, he informed Ookashi about Adrianna. Ookashi sprang out of the bed and wanted to visit her friend, but he stopped her saying that she was sleeping.
Dmitri went up and lied beside his wife. He curled his hands around her and she moved in his embrace involuntarily. Together they slept for a long time. When Adrianna got up, it was almost afternoon. She woke Dmitri and said, "I have to go back to the Wizard Kingdom."
"Why so soon?" he asked rubbing his eyes.
"I am expecting Vikra to attack anytime," she replied with seriousness.
"Vikra would never attack in the afternoon!" said Dmitri in a strict tone. "Moreover, mother and I have fixed an appointment with the doctor for you. You have to go to the hospital with us for tests."
"What? Why did you do that today Dmitri?" she asked with a shocked expression.
"Why not today?"
"Today it is full moon night. You know what happens to me during a full moon night. I have to discuss the strategy with Isidorus and Mihr! I cannot waste time on this," she lashed at him.
Dmitri took his hands at the back of his head and looked at her while lying down on his pillow. He said, "It is not full moon right now. It is not even 12PM. There is no need to panic. As soon as you get tests done, you may go directly to the Wizard Kingdom."
"But-"
Dmitri got up and kept his finger on her lips, "Shush."
Adrianna hung her head low. "Okay…" When he removed his finger from her lips she said, "Let us hurry up then."
"Sure," he said and got out of bed.
When the couple went down, Cora first hurried them to have lunch. She was giving so much attention to Adrianna that she was feeling slightly embarrassed. "Adrianna you must eat well. You seem to have lost a lot of weight."
"Mother, I am not sure that I am pregnant…" she said thinking that Cora was concerned about her pregnancy.
Cora was annoyed. "You are looking very thin. You better eat properly. Even if you are unsure about pregnancy, you have to eat your food nicely!" Saying that she added a nice helping of green vegetables in her plate. Adrianna stared at her plate, which had no meat on it and then she looked at Dmitri's plate, which only had meat. Dmitri smiled at her. "I am not pregnant," he communicated mentally cheerfully. Adrianna slowly ate her food.
While eating Cora was a little concerned about her safety. "Dmitri, I am scared that Vikra might attempt to attack Adrianna if they come to know about her even a little bit that she is going to the Human Realm."
"No mother, Vikra would never take those chances now. He must be forming strategy in his cave right now on how to attack the Wizard Kingdom. He would never come to know that Adri is here. Suppose he comes to know about her presence, he wouldn't dare to strike her in the Human Realm. The treaty that we had signed was pretty binding. If humans would see that the treaty has broken, they would use their best warfare to wipe him out from the earth's surface and he knows that."
