Chapter 210: Decide
"What is it?!" Nicklaus demanded growing impatient by the second, someone should just tell him what is happening to his wife! He couldn’t bear to see her like this anymore, he needed to know what to do, he hated the feeling of helplessness and having to rely on someone, he promised he would protect her and he would do that, he would do anything for her and for her sake.
Mathilda’s ocean blue orbs met his dark green ones. "In our history as well as the other magical Realms; Birthed by the Birth Tree which belongs to the Vampire Clan, or a birth by a Wish which belongs to the Sun Realm or made by magic which belongs to my Clan" she placed a hand on Yelena’s flat stomach.
"I have only heard about the Mortal beings being able to have a child from within but I have never come across a goddess having such privilege, she’s with child Magnus"
Nicklaus’s grip subconsciously tightened on Yelena’s hand before looking down at her sleeping form.
"Her aura and yours within are growing"
"What I felt, her magic divided," Celeste said.
"Yes and for her body" Mathilda’s eyes traveled to the blue crescent moonlight tattoo against her forehead. "She’s a half goddess her body cannot contain such power"
"What are you saying?" Alaric asked, gulping.
She faces Nicklaus who remains still, his eyes on his wife.
"Your aura has always been the most deadly aura, I’m certain you know where I’m going with this"
"What are you trying to say?!" Celeste barked with a growl.
"It’s dangerous for her!" she snapped facing Celeste and she stilled. "Yes this is a wonder we have experienced but this is a demi-god we’re talking about growing inside of her with two different auras of opposite nature, we can only imagine what will happen" she faced Nicklaus back and her looks softened. "You will have to make a choice" she adds in a ragged whisper.
"Leave us," Nicklaus said in a cold voice that sent shivers down their spine, the room was suddenly so icy and none of them could barely breathe.
"Nicklaus" Alaric begins.
"Now" his tone was low yet deadly.
They retreated from their chambers and the doors slammed shut behind them.
"Are you saying we remove a child from her?" Celeste snapped at Mathilda.
"Sister calm down," Alaric began.
"Calm down? How do you expect us to be calm about this? Think about Yelena"
"I do," he said in a low tone. "And I trust brother will not carry this blatant decision on his own"
"I understand what you feel," Mathilda said. "I came here because you needed help from me, I’m sorry I wasn’t able to provide such. I believe the best decision is to stop the child from growing"
"And you... what do you think?" Celeste asked with a nudge of her head.
There was an intense silence. "I think it depends on the Empress in which she would choose"
"And if she chooses to keep it?" Alaric asked.
"Then I will do everything in my power to protect this child," she said with resolve. "For that child shall be the new legacy of your family, the first natural birth infant"
There was immense silence between them. Her blue orbs traveled to Celeste. "Now you know my loyalty will always remain with your clan and to the future".

Nicklaus laid next to Yelena, his thumb gently stroking her cheeks, she faced him now and she was still cold as ice just like his temperature but he always used magic to mask it so that he could be near her at times. He was naturally a cold icy being, to begin with, but ever since he met her he was driven for a world in which they can both fit in, in spite of their different natures, Yelena never minded about it, she accepted him for who he was and what he is, but he never knew if he accepted himself, to begin with.
Now his dangerous aura lives inside her, he could only imagine what she was going through.
She groaned finally stirring awake, he ceased his stroke, caressing her cheek, and she opened those big beautiful gold orbs of hers that holds innocence and purity and always seem to melt his heart and he looked at him like he was the only living being and the center of her hope, trust, love, and future, and it only made his heart flutter.
He leaned and claimed her lips before she opened her mouth to speak, this woman, this goddess was his everything, his soul. He couldn’t imagine losing her but now he was afraid because he knew what she would end up choosing, never had he been afraid that she would one day choose something over him but now there was a reason and it only made his heart ache more.

While I slept I heard numerous voices and it was giving me a headache, I needed silence as I slept but surely it was not welcomed, I craved for something but I didn’t know what, maybe I was hungry, gods I was so hungry but I was too tired to open my eyes I lift like a weight was on me and I felt heavy?
Finally, the noise was gone and I was met with complete silence. Finally, now I can rest better and hope when I wake up this feeling would stop, But when I felt a hand stroking my cheeks I instantly felt light? It was like the battle within my body subsided but there was one yet to quiet down, I felt something was still missing but I couldn’t tell what... so I just focused on the presence, I knew it was none other than Nicklaus so I was forced to open my eyes, I miss him I want to see his face and feel him against him, I really needed him, why was I craving just about everything now?
I opened my eyes and then his mouth covered mine in a mouthwatering kiss. I tried to kiss back but I felt tired. I only allowed him to consume me with his kiss, I felt flushed and a heavy thrill ran through my body. I wanted him more.
He finally pulled away allowing me to catch my breath but as soon as I did with that I would go for more.
"You’re with child, my love" His words snapped me out of my lustful thoughts, I was right then, I’m with child but why does he look sad?
"H-How?"
"I brought a sorceress who could both sense the magic and the..." he paused and his gaze lowered, I knew he was staring at my stomach and then I blushed, didn’t know why I did. I took his hand and brought it to my flat belly.
"Baby," I said like I was teaching a toddler how to pronounce the words right. I knew this was strange for all of them, but I understood it because I lived most of my life in the Mortal Realm.
His hand was stiff on my stomach, I was expecting him to caress it but he didn’t, I instantly knew something was wrong.
"Nicklaus..."
"Your body cannot contain my aura growing within you, yours and mine are fighting within you, opposite nature" he spoke but he didn’t meet my eyes.
My features grow puzzled.
"Your body is still mortal and what you’re carrying is a demi-god and it" his jaw tightened.
"It’s a baby, Nicklaus, a baby," I said frowning, I was suddenly emotional, I knew for a fact he was still grasping the situation I was too but still why was he sounding like...
"I can’t lose you," He said, meeting my eyes and then a realization struck me. My heartbeat quickened.
"It’s either me or the baby isn’t it?"
"We don’t know yet, but the best solution is to..." he paused and I was thankful he didn’t say it to me, or else I would have exploded. I never imagined I would be in this situation, I never imagined I would one day carry his child, I had come to terms that I would have no children that it would just be Nicklaus and I that was the fate between us, but I should remember I had a shattered fate which means my life is several possibilities and this child has come in.
I didn’t know whether I should be happy, grateful, or angry right now but surely my motherly instinct was already kicking in.
"I’m keeping the baby," I said leaving no room for argument, sure as a couple we should decide on what’s best together but this isn’t just about us and Nicklaus should know that too, but his looks didn’t faze like he expected me to say those words, it made me wonder what he was thinking because ever since THIS, he has been unreadable and it ticked me off.
