Chapter 177
“Yeah… my voice was mumbled as his thumb gently rubbed over the mess that was permanently on my arm.
And do you have full movement in your wrists? I hadn’t been asked that before. Thinking about it, it did feel like my skin was pulling everytime I pulled my hand back or leaned on it. But that was just due to how tight the skin had gone, and it was a known fact there was some nerve and muscle damage.
“I’m not here about my old injuries.” I snatched my hand away quickly causing the doctors face to drop suddenly. I didn’t need to be reminded of just how fucked up my body actually was. “What I need is a…” My voice got caught in my throat as I tried to say what I needed. Why was it so difficult to vocalize? 1 had managed to tell Lewis just fine. “Ok… I need a pregnancy test.” I blurted it out without even looking at the doctors face. “I just need to be sure!”
I felt a small squeeze on my elbow and turned my head to Lewis who was now moving his thumb in slight circles on my skin. For some reason though, the sensation made a faint pleasurable tingle shoot down my arm, and made me frown at his hand. It was the same feeling I felt with Josh, except it was much less prominent, I could only just about feel it. To be honest, it could have just been my mind making it up. Even so I pulled my arm away from him quickly.
“I’m Sorry… I just feel like I should be doing more.” I shook my head and sighed. He was doing more than enough, I just couldn’t understand what I felt when he touched me.
“Just being here is enough.” I quipped turning back to the doctor who was looking between the two of us with a frown.
“I’ll go and get you a test that we can do, but I can’t hear a heartbeat or any movements yet.” He then continued to look between me and Lewis, before holding the betas gaze, curiosity clouding his every expression. “I’m sorry, but I have to ask… did you leave the kings service because you two…” He trailed off swallowing hard at his assumption. How could he even think that? Why does everyone just assume we slept together?
“NO!..” Lewis’s outburst triggered me a little bit earlier in all honesty. I mean of course the notion was absurd, but he didn’t have to act so repulsed. “No, I left because I no longer agreed with Josh’s views. Dylan had nothing to do with
it.”
“Not that it is any of your business anyway.” Was I being harshly blunt with him? Probably, but the doctor really should learn to mind his own.
“My apologies, your grace. I will go and get a test for you.” With that he bowed low and walked away to some medical cabinets on the other side of the tent.
“Im sorry Lewis…” I felt an extreme sense of guilt around him in honesty. I mean, thinking about it, that can’t be the first time his morals and loyalty had been questioned because of me. “You must get asked about the king a lot.”
“I du, but you don’t have to apologize for it. I was his beta, and yet now I’m here. In hind sight, everyone was always going to speculate. That’s hardly your doing.” Still, it must look a bit odd seeing me and him being so close. I suppose if I was viewing things from the outside then I’d make certain assumptions too.
“True, but I can’t exactly be helping the situation.” He just shook his head, clearly he wasn’t fazed at all by my presence or our friendship.
“Here you go…” The doctor quickly walked up to us with a pregnancy test in a rectangular box. “The instructions are

on the side, but just wait two minutes after you take it, a single line is negative, while a plus symbol means positive. When you get back we will take some bloodwork regardless of the outcome and then see what other tests we need to do, you can use the closest RV restroom.” I took the box off of him and took a minute to just stare at it.
God I was nervous as I walked to the RV alone. I insisted Lewis stay in the main tent while
I peed on the stick. Once I’d finished on the toilet, I put the cap hack on and placed it on the bed in the main area of the RV. Two minutes, the doctor said two minutes.
And so I waited, and waited and waited.
After at least 10 minutes I sighed and forced myself to look at the results, my hand clenched around the plastic stick slightly, as my mind began to process what had actually happened.
In the end I simply walked back to the medical tent, to find the ex royal beta and the doctor waiting for me and the
answer.
“It’s negative.” I stated a little bit happier than I should’ve been. “I’m not pregnant…”
