Kaelos' POV
*****
I know what you think I would say during all this...
"It all happened so fast."
Well, no. It didn't.
She was okay. Odessa was fine. My—Our baby was fine.
For the next three days after she fainted, I watched her. I cared for her. I served her her aunt's tea in bed. I held her in my arms, cradling her at night.
And each time, I never and I mean NEVER felt anything wrong with her psyche. She seemed like she was finally getting peace for the first time in months.
The blood moon festival was supposed to be a lively event. A break from the chaos.
But alas, just like we had feared for months, chaos struck tonight. I noticed Odessa holding her stomach and head occasionally like she was in some kind of pain.
She kept telling me she was fine and I kept watching to make sure, my mind distant from the festivities of the Blood moon.
Yet... We were here. At this point.
