Chapter Twenty-Six

It's been about a week since we got Jax back from Jess and I honestly couldn't be more happy to have him back, but it still raises the question on Jess and where she went. She left as soon as she got wind of Blake coming to save him and left her people to die at the hands of Blake and some of the Royal Guard. Jax has mostly been in his room or in his office doing Goddess knows what while I have been eating, and sleeping, and then eating again. Growing a human is hard work and I just seem to be an eating machine. Sitting his Doctor Sun's office he came in with a smile showing his fangs, and I still cannot get over how he is a vampire and I never knew. Very ironic how his last name is sun?

"Well, Gipsy, how are you? I see your baby is growing exponentially faster than predicted."

"Yes, he is growing quite fast. I didn't know they were supposed to grow this fast."

"Well, he is quite rare. A child from the Moon Goddess is quite rare indeed with also some vampire genes tucked away in there."

"All children are from the Moon Goddess though, Sun?"

"Ah, no. Jax's lineage is directly passed down from the Moon Goddess, so hence why he is stronger than everyone else."

"Jax's lineage is from the Moon Goddess? And that fucked never told me," I was started to get worked up, "So, me blowing up like a fucking balloon so quick is because he is descended from the Moon Goddess?"

"Now, now, Gipsy, everything will be alright. Your body will be fine, you know how fast werewolves can heal."

"I'm going to kill him after this ultrasound I can tell you that. Also, this baby has been kicking like crazy."

"To be expected... just give me one second," he squeezed the cold jelly on my round belly and soon started the ultrasound. He smiled as he looked closer on the machine at my son, "he is growing like a weed! I suggest you'll have this baby literally any second. He looks well developed in there and looks like he is getting situated to come out any second."

"I literally conceived him two months ago."

"I know, Gipsy, but like I said the Moon Goddess lineage is strong in this one and they grow very fast."

I grumbled a thank you to him and started to wipe off the gel from my protruding belly and hopped off the bed. I was starting to really waddle now and it was honestly a little embarrassing waddling like a duck. Finally getting up to Jax's office I was a little out of breath, but I knocked on his door and with a mumbled 'come in' I waltzed in there like I owned the joint. Sitting down across from Jax I noticed the faint dark circles that were starting to form around his eyes.

"Yes, Gipsy?"

"What are Eli and Alexander doing?"

"They are taking care of the pack down there."

"Ah, I see, and you're doing all of your kingly duties up here?"

"Precisely."

He was acting short with me and to be quite frank it really pissed me off. Sighing I cleared my throat to get his attention, "I'm so sorry to bother you, but when were you going to tell me you are in direct lineage to the Moon Goddess?"

His eyes went from the map he was staring at and slowly went up to mine as we stayed in eye contact, "Who the hell told you that?"

"Doctor Sun did. Which would explain why a usual nine month process turned into two as I am quite literally having a Moon Goddess' great-great-great-great grandchild," I counted all of the greats on my fingers, and I'm sure I even missed a couple because of how old she is.

"Look, Gipsy, I'm sorry I didn't tell you, but I have a lot of things to do right now."

"More things to do than spend time with your mate?"

"Yes, Gipsy! I'm trying to find Jess, that chienne who raped me and let men beat me till I was barely breathing! I am barely holding on and this argument is about to send me over the goddamn edge!"

I sat back fully in my chair, and I realized this was the first time he was actually more open about what happened than shutting me out and sitting on the sidelines with himself. I sighed and I can't act like I know how it feels because I have, thankfully, never had that happen to me so how could I even act like I know?

"Jax..." I took in a deep breath, "I know you're hurting right now. I know it hurts like a son of a bitch, but I am here for you. I am here to help you with your darkest thoughts to keep you from sinking farther into the darkness rather than embracing the light. You need to step away from the office, come down to the kitchen or to the living area and watch some TV with me. Something to get your mind away from this."

"Gipsy, I can't. She is on my mind from the time I wake up to the time I am finally able to sleep. I want her dead. I want my offspring that rests in her belly, dead," he spoke with so much passion about killing her it solidified his trauma from the event. I mean, I knew he would be traumatized, but I didn't think he would want to search to the end of Earth to find her, "and the best part is, love, I know where she's at. She went back to Washington, and not just any part of Washington. She is back in your pack, in hiding. Blake saw her disgusting, pregnant self walking to one of the abandoned houses on the edge of the pack border."

I quirked my eyebrow up at him, "I cannot go with you until I've had this baby. If I take a plane, I might just pop on the plane."

"It's okay. I'm waiting until you've had our son, and then we go there together. We finish her once and for all at the place where it all started."

He was speaking in a dark, low voice and once he threw down his map he grabbed my hand leading my away from his office. Going down to the kitchen he grabbed me a pint of my favorite ice cream and a small spoon. He grabbed his favorite pack of cookies and dipped them in some milk while we ate in silence.

"Jax, when am I going to be able to be a part of your pack?"

He chewed on his cookie and shrugged his shoulders, "I mean, if you want to be that's fine. Since I don't spend much time over there I wouldn't think you would want to."

I shrugged my shoulders back, I mean it would be nice, I thought. I would feel like I am finally becoming part of him and his people, "I mean, I would have thought since I am your mate you would like me to. I would like to and get to know your people better."

"Alright, let's go and spend some time with my people."
