teleport his way to the hospital. He rushed through the double doors barreling into the hospital help desk.
“Zayn!” Nasir called out from across the floor.
“Where is she? How are my girls?”
“They are okay right now. Adara is stable. Come with me. They just got her settled down for the night. She’s really doing well. She’s a fighter, you know.”
They walked back to her room in silence. Zayn tried to keep his composure as he entered into the room and saw Adara’s face light up.
“Hey, you.”
“Hey. Did you hear?”
Zayn nodded and his smile came out when he touched her hand. He sat in the chair next to the bed as Nasir closed the door and took his post outside of their room, standing guard.
“A little girl, we are having a baby girl.” Zayn placed his hand on her stomach, and Adara watched his eyes start to tear up.
“Yes, we are, Zahra. She will be here in close to three months. I have started to get a nursery ready, but now that I know it’s a girl, assuming she survives this, I can decorate and start buying clothes.”
“Adara, don’t you dare talk like that. She is going to be okay. She’s a fighter, like her parents.” Zayn looked into Adara’s eyes and brought his hand up to her face. He tried to cup her cheek, but she pulled away from him. She didn’t know what she wanted just yet.
“Zayn…I don’t know what to do about what happened to me. You could have killed our baby…” Adara pulled his hand down into hers while looking away. Her eyes focused on the monitors and their heart rates, the lines of her bent printing out on the paper beside hers.
“I was angry and mad. I am truly sorry. Please let me make it up to you; for the rest of my existence, I will make this up to you.” Zayn slid down on the floor, her hand still holding his as he knelt on bended knee and looked up at her.
“Adara, with all my love, all my being, all my soul… I am yours. This baby, she is ours. Please, come home with me; come home to my house and my soul. Perform the nexus with me. Be mine.”
Adara looked down at him in shock. She heard the words he said, but she didn’t know what to say. Seconds turned into minutes… Minutes that killed Zayn, like a dagger in the heart.
“Adara, please. Please say you will.”
“Zayn, you know when you left me I was falling in love with you.”
It was as if the Gods knew that this wasn’t the right time to have this discussion, because at that moment Nasir burst frantically into the room, his face clearly upset about something,
“What, Gods? Damn it Nasir, what? What is so fucking important?!?
“I’m sorry Zayn, but Mehmet just called to tell me that Nikole left him to go after Alec. She flashed away from him, and he is on the road now, heading to Alec’s location.”
“FUCK!” Zayn bellowed as he stood up and marched to the door, his eyes swirling yellow. “She wasn’t supposed to leave. We are not done. I thought I had made myself CLEAR!”
“Zayn, she has been fine for three months without you. I’m sure she will be fine going to see him. Calm down, you are upsetting the peacefulness,” Adara said quietly from her bed.
“Adara, this doesn’t concern you.” He spoke out before looking at Nasir. “Bring her home. Then find him and bring him back, or else he will be working in the pits for the remainder of his life.” Zayn walked back to Adara and pulled her into his arms, engulfing her in a hug. “I am sorry this moment for us was ruined. Nasir will be leaving, and we can finish.”
“Zayn.”
“Your Majesty!” Zayn said looking over at Nasir. “You say, Your Majesty.”
Nasir nodded out of reverence while biting his tongue. Now wasn’t the time to hash out respect issues, especially in front of a lady. “Your Majesty, I will go bring Nikole home myself if I must.” He turned to leave, closing the hospital room door behind him.
