A Powerless FanFiction

Kai

I was sitting next to Pae holding her hand, she was sitting on a bed in the Healer's wing of the castle. Today after several weeks of procrastination we finally came up here to have her checked out and make sure everything with the pregnancy was going okay. Geez I thought her nearly dying on me was terrifying, but just sitting here in anticipation as the healer just sat there staring at a clipboard, going over all of his details was absurdly and painstakingly worse.

"You okay Kai?" Pae asks me, leaning off the bed a little bit to touch my face,

"Uh, yeah I think so," I say trying my best to put on one of my masks, I knew she'd probably see through it but it couldn't hurt to try.

The moment I saw her face though I knew she was already onto me. I normally would be fine, but since this was the first appointment, and the healer was being suspiciously quiet. I was terrified that this baby might severely struggle the same way Ava did.

"Well I must say this is the first pregnancy in a while that I have handled in a while, so I'm going to look over my notes, I'll get back to you as soon as I know for sure how everything is." he paused for a second. "But, before I send you on your way, Paedyn, let's talk about what we should and shouldn't be doing. So firstly, no alcohol, that is mostly it for now. But right now you said you should be about twelve weeks correct?"

She nodded towards his question.

"Okay, well your baby should be about the size of a plum or lime, especially. But that's all just make sure you get plenty of rest. Kai, I see the look on your face, try not to stress yourself out too much, it'll affect her probably just as much as your stress is affecting yourself." He said to the both of us.

We walk down the hall hand in hand, I kept silent. We made our way into our room, opening the door, and slipping inside. I sit on the bed as she leans on my shoulder.

"Kai, I know you put one of your masks in there, are you okay?" She asks me

"Really Pae, I'm fine I promise." I lie trying to keep my lingering worries buried deep within

Then I feel myself getting forced into laying on the bed, and then the tip of something sharp pressed against my throat and Pae straddling my sides.

"Malakai Azer, you're going to tell me right now what's going on with you, or I'm going to do some unspeakable things to you," Pae says to me looking stern in the face

I can't help but smirk. "Oh really, from you I doubt I'd complain about those unspeakable things."

"Not those kinds of unspeakable things," she says sharply, rolling her eyes and removing her dagger from my throat.

"Pae I promise you that there's nothing wrong."

"You may be a good liar Kai, but I can see through your lies." She pulls herself off of me, but all I do is pull her back into my lap and sit up leaning my back against the headboard.

"Kai, please, don't lie to me, what is bothering you ?"

I sigh outward. " I'm just worried, with how that healer was acting towards his notes makes me worried. I'm worried because they used to act that way towards my mother when she was pregnant with Ava. I just don't want that to happen to you or our baby." I said looking at her.

"Hey I promise everything is going to be okay, and if it isn't we'll get through this." She says to me before she wraps her arms around me, pulling my head towards her chest.

I don't know what came over me but I finally broke and I just cried. I felt as she played with my hair, cooing sweet nothings into my ear. Weeks maybe even months of worry at this point of built-up worry, and stress.

"Kai it's gonna be okay."

"I know it probably is going to be, but I just need time to process. Do you mind if we just lay down and cuddle today?" I ask her

She gives me a gentle smile before wrapping her arms tightly around me and pulling me back toward the bed. She pulled my head into her lap playing with my hair as I just laid there, absorbing her positivity, and just tried to let my stress melt away.

I don't know how long we just lay there, then we heard a knock on the door.

"You go ahead and stay here I'll handle it." She whispers to me pressing a light kiss on my lips.

I watch as she stands up opening the door I see the healer that we spoke to earlier today.

I hear them mumble for a bit before she turns around walking towards me. She sits back on the bed.

"What did he say?" I ask her sitting up slowly

She gives me a warm smile. "He said as far as he can tell so far baby Azer and I are perfectly healthy." She smiles to me.

I break into a massive smile, finally feeling all the worry finally melt away.

"Thank the Plagues," I mumble as I wrap my arms firmly around her, burying my face in her shoulder.

"Feeling better Azer?" She whispers into my ear

I nod against her skin. Maybe everything was going to be okay after all.
