She was certain of one thing: she was not embarrassed. Why should she return to the land of the fairies if it meant facing the truth? Abril had no idea that Alessandro had decided to ask Maya to help calm her down. He was afraid that his mother's fears were perfectly justified, especially since she had just passed by him. Maya took a deep breath as the doctor entered the room. While he examined her, a thousand questions raced through her mind. What if she was truly pregnant?What would happen to her and her child, especially with time running out? Soon, she would have to return to the fairies. When the doctor finished his examination, Maya remained silent, her gaze fixed on him. "Tell me if I'm wrong," she urged. The doctor smiled gently. "Congratulations, Maya. You're expecting." Maya felt a rush of emotions. "No, no, no, you must be mistaken." "I've never been wrong about something like this, Maya," he reassured her. "If you don't believe me, you can ask another doctor to confirm." After the doctor left, Maya turned to Abril, her heart racing."News to celebrate," Abril said softly. "Children are a blessing, no matter the circumstances. I know it feels overwhelming right now, but try not to worry about the future. It's uncertain. Focus on what makes you happy and don't dwell on the problems." Maya knew Abril was right. The future was indeed uncertain, and worrying wouldn't change anything. The day before the wedding arrived, and Maya was still in shock over the news of her pregnancy. She didn't know whether to tell Cassian now or wait until after the wedding. Time was slipping away, and there were still details to organize.She fell onto her bed, staring at the ceiling, her little pixie companion hovering nearby. "Today, I'm marrying a human," she muttered. The pixie chimed in, "You can't get married!" "Be quiet; we're not here to listen to your nonsense," Maya replied, exasperated. "You have to cancel the wedding!" the pixie insisted. "First, you tell me I'm pregnant, and now you want me to cancel my wedding? What do you want from me?" The pixie resisted, but Maya, lacking patience, squeezed it gently. "Speak nicely," she warned. "Fine, fine! Just think about it, my queen.What does it matter if you get married?" Maya released the pixie, frustration bubbling within her. "I don't think I can cancel my wedding. I love Cassian, and nothing will stop me from marrying him." "Just remember, I hope you don't regret your decision," the pixie replied. "I won't," Maya insisted, her resolve firm. Once alone, she placed a hand on her waist, feeling the nausea wash over her. She wasn't sure if her baby was truly there, but the thought lingered in her mind. When Cassian returned, he asked, "How are you?" "Nervous," she admitted."Me too," he replied, brushing a lock of hair behind her ear. "I'm happy because soon you'll be my wife." "Do you want to have children?" Maya asked, her heart racing at the thought. "Of course. I want us to be happy together, and I want to have children with you," he said quietly. Maya felt her fears begin to fade. Even though the news of her pregnancy had come at an unexpected time, she no longer felt alone. She had someone by her side who supported her. Maya hugged Cassian tightly, burying her fingers in his hair."I want everything with you." Cassian breathed in the scent of her hair, feeling a sense of calm wash over him. "We've never talked about having children. It's a big step." "It had never crossed my mind until now," Maya confessed. "But I want to be ready for whatever comes next." "Not if, but when. I'm sure it will be beautiful, and we will love it so much," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "Just promise me you won't have any doubts about this," she urged. Cassian smiled, wrapping his arms around her. "It would be better if you left me tonight." "Where would I go?" she asked, surprised.noveldrama"It's tradition for the bride and groom to sleep separately the night before the wedding," he explained. "Why?" "Because it's bad luck to see each other before the ceremony." "Those are silly superstitions. Don't tell me you believe in them," she teased. "A little. I just want to avoid any bad luck for our happiness," he replied, a hint of seriousness in his tone.
