04~ Marry Me

Zeta's POV

I couldn't hold myself from screaming as the baby pushed it's way out of my thighs. Thankfully, my mother was quick to make it to the hospital, she held my hands as I pushed harder. "It's gonna be alright," she assured me.

I couldn't say a word to her, the pain I was feeling at the moment was hell of a blast. My hole was burning like a blaze of fire, and the baby wasn't doing any justice to me. It was taking time for it to scream it's way out of my body.

"Can't this be a little faster?!" I screamed.

"That depends on how hard you push." Replied a nurse.

"Just get this thing out of me!" I yelled.

"Calm down, hun, take it easy. You have to put in a little effort to let it go out."

I squeezed her hands, breathing in as much air as my lungs could hold. I exhaled it all out in a scream, and then, the entire room was filled with the tears of my baby.

"Finally." I gasped.

"Yeah, babe, you did it."

"Congratulations, Miss Jones, you have a baby boy."

I chuckled, looking at my mother. "I did it. Finally, we can save our father together."

Mother was in tears. Not like she did accept the idea that I should sell my body to Alpha Damien, but because we needed the money for my father's treatment, we had no choice but to do what we did.

I was feeling dizzy and weak. I knew any moment from now, it's either I pass out, or I'm never coming back alive. My breath was fading each second that passed by.

"I wanna see my baby. I wanna touch my baby."

The nurse gave the baby to me, with my cord still connected to the both of us. I held him in my arms, a smile of happiness played on my face. I have never felt this happy in my life, I have never felt this connected to some thing or some one. I was staring at the first fruit of my womb.

He's just so handsome like his father. I felt like holding him in my arms forever, I didn't want to let go. "You need to rest, Zeta." Mother said, taking my baby from me.

"I don't want to rest, mother, I just wanna hold him close to me. I won't have the chance to be with him again, now that I do, I want him." I pleaded.

"You will have him as soon as you wake up. I'll explain to Alpha Damien when he comes requesting for him." She assured me.

I nodded. Mother wouldn't lie to me, she wouldn't do any thing that would hurt my feelings. The cord was cut, separating me from my son. I let nature take me, I dozed off.

*************************

I woke up, had my shower and got changed to a new dress mom had brought for me from home. The first thing I asked was "Where is my mom?"

The nurses told me that she was in the immunization room. I went straight to the room, and I saw my mother patting him on the back. He was already dressed in a new baby outfit. I walked close to them, and I noticed his eyes were still closed.

"Does he have to sleep this long?" I asked, sitting beside her.

"Babies don't see on their first day on earth."

"You mean he's blind?"

"Temporal."

I relaxed at her words. Some how, I didn't want to give away my baby, but on the other hand, for father's sake, I have to. It was announced that Alpha Damien had come by himself with his wife to take my child.

We stood up the moment he walked in. He had the broadest smile on his face, and when he got to where we stood, the smile broadened the more. I have never seen him this happy before. The way he smiled exposed the single dimple by his left cheek.

He took the child from mom, patting him gently. He was staring at him, and for a moment he raised his gaze at me. "Thank you, for giving me the chance I thought I would never have."

I forced myself to smile. The internal pains I was feeling wouldn't let me smile even if I wanted to.

He gave my son to his wife. "Can we talk some where private?" He requested.

We left for a private room, with only the two of us in it. "I have completed the deal, I think this is where we part ways. You remember your promise, Alpha, you should keep to it."

He sighed. "You know, some times, not all promises are fulfilled."

"What are you talking about?" I questioned.

"Well, Miss Jones, I think I changed my mind."

I don't want to imagine a whole nine months has been wasted for nothing. He's not intending to take my son away from me just like that. Not after spending all these months with him, forbearing the humiliations, he still expects I'd let it slide away like we had nothing.

"You're not having my son for free, are you?" Tears trickle down my eyes.

"I wasn't intending to have him for free."

"Then what are you trying to say? We had a deal, and that's for me to give birth to an heir while I get my money in return, why the change of plan?"

"Please… just let me explain." He walked a few steps closer. "I don't want this deal to be just a contract, Miss Jones, I want you to be the mother of my child. Like I promised, I'll give you the money, and you can do with it whatever you want. Just… Please, stay with me." He said in a pleading way.

"I wish I could, but I'm sorry, I can't. I'm not ready to be mated, I just want to have my father back, that's all."

"Why don't you let me help you? As long as you are by my side, I won't mind spending the entire world on you."

"Even if I do want to marry you, what about your wife? What about your concubines, how do you think they'll feel when they hear this? They're gonna think I played witchcraft just to have you."

"I don't recognize any one as my queen, the one who gives birth to my heir is my queen." He said, with every seriousness in his voice. "You're the only one who is able to give me what I need, what I've desperately seeked for years. I don't care what every one says, I only care about your answer to my question. Will you marry me?"

I never expected this question, I never thought I'd for any reason hear it. Like I always said, all I cared about was the money. But he wasn't just ready to offer me the money, he was ready to offer his love.

I was speechless, words were gone. I couldn't help but cry like a child. Who am I that the Alpha would find favor? A wretched teenager like me who knows nothing about love or man. Who knew that one day, I'd be called the Alpha's desire?
