I waited anxiously, before a knock landed on my door. I got out of bed, still in my silky, peach pyjamas and made my way to the door. My hand trembled, recalling the last time I opened the door, and a blood-soaked Chase was standing in front of me. I inhaled a deep breath, before opening the door.

“Hi.” Phoenix smiled, pinching his lips together as his face flushed a rosy colour. I hadn’t seen him in a long time and had a lot of fond memories with him on Earth, that made me miss him.

“Come in.” I smiled, as he bowed his head, taking a step inside. His hair had grown out and he brushed his curly locks behind his ear.

“How are you? Hayden said you haven’t been feeling well.” We both took a seat around our dinner table in the kitchen. He leaned back, keeping as much distance from me as possible. We hadn’t told many people that we were expecting. It helped that Phoenix hadn’t regained any feelings towards me. Telling him I was pregnant was going to be a lot easier.
