I AM SURE SHE IS PREGNANT!
Iris emptied her stomach near a river. In order to calm her down, he took her for a walk to this side of the orphanage. She didn't have time to explore this place when she went here for the first time. 1
Right now, Cane was holding her hair, while waiting for Iris, until she felt better and helped to rinse her mouth.
Meanwhile, Redmond was standing behind them, holding a glass of warm honey in his hand, as he talked again and again.
"She is pregnant! I am sure of it! She has all the sign!" What he meant with all the sign was the fact Iris kept vomiting. "You need to get her checked to the healer! She is carrying an heir for the two packs!" he said excitedly, but almost noisily.
He happened to see Iris and Cane went to this direction, while she looked so ill, thus he followed them here and saw Iris was vomiting again.
Seeing that, of course, Redmond immediately blurted out what he had been holding back. He thought, he wanted to wait and find the perfect time to tell Cane about this, but it seemed, there was no such thing, as they were so busy nowadays.
However, Cane dismissed him annoyingly and told him to bring warm honey. Redmond did that begrudgingly and didn't stop nagging when he returned with a glass of warm honey.
"You must believe me! I have seen women's pregnant more than you do. I know the sign!" Redmond was anxiously. "You need to confirm it with the healer and don't ask her to do any labor work!"
Cane finally glared at him because he wouldn't stop. The last word irritated him, it sounded like he had forced Iris into some kind of heavy physical work.
Seeing the anger in the alpha's eyes, Redmond finally shut his mouth, but still grumbled within. He only said what he needed to say! Cane should be thankful for his warning, after all, he needed to get an heir before the two years time limit that king Aeon gave to him.
Fortunately, Iris couldn't hear any of Redmond's nagging words.
Once Iris had rinsed her mouth, Cane beckoned Redmond to come closer and take the glass from him to give it to Iris. She looked pale, but a little bit calm now.
Cane then carried Iris to the same room, where they stayed the last time and called the healer to check on her condition.
The healer came with Hanna, who looked so worried, she stayed by Iris's side, while Cane leaned his body against one of the bedposts.
Redmond was impatient when he waited. It would be great if Iris could secure the first heir for the packs. Her position would be more solid, even if something happened to Cane, she would have her son to support her.
"She will be fine. She is only tired," the healer said. "I will make a concoction for her." She had checked Iris's condition before, thus she was pretty familiar with her body.
"What about the baby?" Redmond blurted out, which made Hanna and the healer frowned, while Iris was mortified, she knew what he meant.
On the other hand, Cane looked unbothered. He called the healer here not for her to check such thing, but he couldn't refuse when Redmond was adamant to know, in the end, it would shut him down, so he could stop.
"Baby?" the healer frowned.
Hanna looked at Iris and squealed. "Are you pregnant, missy?"
"No," Iris said immediately. She really wanted to kick Redmond right now. She threw a dagger look at the warrior, but he simply ignored her. How could this man be so annoying like this?
"I don't think she is pregnant," the healer said doubtfully.
"Check on her again carefully," Redmond said. "She has been vomiting recently, that's a sign of a pregnancy, right?"
The healer still looked hesitant, but there was no harm to check on Iris once again, so she did that, but after a while, she confirmed Iris was fine, she was only exhausted and there was no sign of pregnancy.
"Are you sure?" Redmond was slightly agitated.
"Vomiting is not only a sign of pregnancy," the healer educated Redmond a little bit. "…there are women, who don't."
Redmond furrowed his brows. He was still in disbelieve, not because Iris was not pregnant, but the fact there were women, who were not constantly vomiting in their early stage of pregnancy.
"Can you make the concoction now?" Cane finally spoke.
Out of awkwardness, Hanna cleared her throat and volunteered to go with the healer, while she kept nudging Redmond to go out with her, but the warrior didn't bother.
On the other hand, Iris was seething, she still felt weak, but she was enraged. This anger was a little bit unreasonable, it almost like the feeling was the accumulation of her frustration she had pressed down all this time.
"How dare you!" Iris roared. This was the first time for her to be so angry like this, she got off the bed once Hanna and the healer left the room.
"Hey, at least we know that you are not pregnant! We need to take precaution, right?!" Redmond was being defensive, he raised his hand and accepted it when Iris hit him.
Of course, he didn't fight back, he barely felt any pain from the way she hit her.
Meanwhile, Cane watched everything unfolded, didn't have any intention to stop his mate. She had been suppressing her feelings for so long, it would be good for her to express her feeling and vent out her anger, instead of hiding it away. Perhaps, that was the reason how Iris managed to force herself to forget some dreadful memories in her past, because she couldn't let it out and it was buried deep down with her negative emotions.
"I told you I am not pregnant!" Iris said, hitting Redmond with her fists. It was not sure, who she imagined she was hitting right now.
"It's better safe than sorry, right?!" Redmond retorted. "Hey, alpha! Why don't you control your luna here!" he talked to Cane, who looked nonchalant.
Hearing that Cane stood up from the bed, which made Redmond think he would help him, but instead, he went to the fireplace and took a stoker. "Here, use this. You will hurt your hand."
Of course, there was not even in his dream, Cane would help Redmond instead of Iris, even if his mate was in the wrong.
He handed the stoker to Iris and advise her to use it.
"Are you crazy!?" Redmond shrieked, this time he stopped bickering with Iris and rushed out of the room, seeing how Iris was considering Cane's suggestion.
After Redmond left, Iris panted. She was sweating and Cane took back the stoker from her hand.
"It's hurt?" He held her hands and saw her nodded. "Feeling better?" Iris nodded again.
Cane was right. She felt a little bit better now after she vented out her anger at Redmond.
"Cane…" Iris called his name with grievance. "He wanted to take the little girl to the palace… Cane no, he can't take her…" she whimpered.
