It was finally time.
The sonogram.
It was two weeks since I made up my mind to be with Elias. We talked constantly since then. I had to
admit, I was nervous. I was only about 6 weeks pregnant. I was excited to see the baby, despite my
feelings on the situation. Nolan drove me to the doctor's office and Mason stayed back. We signed in
and I saw that Elias was already there, sitting in a small waiting room chair, bouncing his leg nervously.
When Elias saw me, he hugged me and pecked me gently.
"Nova, I've missed you," he said. I chuckled and allowed it.
"I missed you, too," I said. He placed a hand on my stomach that was slightly taunt now under my
flowing shirt.
"Will we find out the gender?" he asked. I chuckled and shook my head.
"Not this visit. It's too early, but soon, I guess," I answered. The nurse called us back into a cozy little
dark room. Nolan stayed in the waiting room as Elias and I went back. The doctor out the warmed gel
on my stomach before moving it around with a wand attached to the machine. She stopped the wand
and pointed out the baby. I felt tears well up in my eyes as I looked at the screen. It was just a small
dot, but I knew that that was my baby. For some reason, seeing the sonogram made being pregnant
feel real. I must have been in denial but I couldn't ignore it anymore. Elias was smiling as the doctor
came in and explained that everything looked great. I spaced out. It was almost like I went into shock.
The doctor gave me a towel and I wiped the gel off. After Elias and the doctor exchanged a few words,
we went outside to the cars with Nolan. Mason was leaning against his car nearby, a stray lock of hair
falling into his eye slightly. He smiled sadly when he saw me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, walking up to him. I couldn't help it. Mason had been my stability
for so long. Even if he wasn't my mate, I would always love him, no matter what.
"You didn't think I would just let you go without saying goodbye, did you?" he asked with a small smirk.
"Are you okay?" he asked, touching my arm gently. Elias growled lowly, but made no move to stop
Mason. Elias just baled his fists at his sides and stayed where he was.
"I'm actually having a baby," I breathed. Nolan pulled me towards him and into a hug.
"I'm gong to miss you, little sis. Promise me you'll visit," he asked. I nodded as I felt tears brim my eyes.
"You're going to make me cry," I chuckled softly, trying to hold my tears back. Mason hugged me next,
earning an even louder growl from Elias. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
"Let us know if you need anything... I love you," Mason said as soft as he could before he let go. I knew
he hugged me partially to get under Elias' skin, but I could care less at this point. I was letting my boys
go. Elias was getting what he wanted; he could deal with me touching Mason.
"Nova, what is everyone talking about? What's with the goodbyes?" Elias asked. I sighed and Nolan
handed me my small handbag with all my essential things inside.
"I'm coming with you back to Rigor Moon. You win, Elias," I explained quickly before I got in Elias' car
and set my bag at my feet. Elias got in slowly and just looked at me. I tried to ignore his stare, but I
couldn't. "You're staring, Eli," I said softly. His held found mine and held it tightly.
"I love you so much, Nova. Thank you," he said sincerely. I only shrugged.
"It wasn't fully just for you," I said as he put the car in drive. "I don't want to raise a child in a broken
home. Plus... it was starting to hurt me more and more to be away from you, and that's not something
I'm proud of," I explained. He was silent as we drove through the pathway leading to the town of Rigor
Moon I watched out the window at the familiarity of it pass before we came upon the mansion of a
house. Mathias was standing at the front door with an older, petite woman under his arm. I got out with
my bag and approached them with Elias right behind me.
