My mate, My exception novel Chapter 66

I couldn't tell you how long I'd been here, maybe a week. I imagined Jake was going crazy. I thought about him a lot, but not as much as our baby.

Just in the week I'd been here my baby bump had become more defined. I'm sure my theory about the increased growth rate was correct, for a regular human baby sure didn't show after only a couple weeks.

The procedures they did hurt. They made me rather go into heat again ten times over. I had bruises on my wrists, ankles, and the back of my head, from the struggle I put up in the restraints.

Last time they told me they weren't gonna inject their blood again. After all there was no progress, and they didn't want to ruin me more if they didn't find a way yet. I wasn't sure what they would do this time, but I hoped it wasn't as painful.

The door opened and Micah stepped in. He had still stuck around most of the time when they tested me. Lately he had been the one to fetch me for the trials.

"Please no. Not now." I begged, nonchalantly moving my hand over my stomach.

"Come one, don't be difficult." Micah spits at me. I push my self up, and saunter his way, glaring at him when I passed.

I had started to memorize the path in this maze of cells. I guess that was a good thing if I ever wanted to escape. Then again, I didn't think that opportunity would arise anytime soon.

When I went to step into what I called the "torture chamber", Micah grabbed my arm and pushed me to go straight. So I continued down the hall, a little cautious now.

We turned a corner and I recognized the hallway from a long time ago. Well not that long ago, considering it had probably been like a week. This hallway contained the first exam room I had ever been in and the ct scan room.

Micah had made his way ahead of me during our walk so when he turned into the room I followed behind him.

After we had entered, the room contained three people, since Kayla was already here.

Kayla sat by the computer again, looking as ragged as I probably did. From the multiple times I had been moved around, I knew Kayla had been living in a cell similar to mine. Hers had a computer though, but it only worked for her to do files and medical stuff.

I wandered over to the bed and sat down. Micah took out his phone and started grumbling about crappy internet.

When Luca walked in Kayla tensed in her chair and Micah grudgingly put his phone away.

"Wait a second." Luca speaks up. I'm pretty sure my heart just stopped. "Why would your period be so late? I know I'm a guy but I'm also a vampire who is not so dumb he doesn't know about a menstrual cycle."

Kayla and I both stay silent.

"Well?" Luca pushes further. Micah has an annoyed look on his face but I can tell he is interested. I keep quiet and wait for Kayla to respond.

"Well, s-some p-p-people's actually aren't-t regular." Luca raises an eyebrow but doesn't make a move.

"When you draw her blood I want you to test it for a pregnancy." Luca orders her. I glance out of the corner of my eye to see her nod her head once.

When she begins her questions again Luca goes back to his permanent scowl, but Micah looks at me curiously. He must know. I panic.

I answer the rest of my questions and grudgingly give my blood. Luca and Micah both tense as the blood runs out of my arm, but don't act. Thank God for that.
