Verity
The first time I came into this room, it was with my heart in my throat and
a pit of dread in my stomach.
Obviously, it’s different now.
The glare of the bright overhead lamp, the sharp scent of disinfectant,
the tray of shiny instruments, and the small sonogram machine rolled up
next to the exam table. I used to find these things cold and sterile, full of
only malicious potential. Now, it’s a strange comfort to watch my Prince
curl a familiar hand around the edge of the stool, rolling it closer to the
exam table.
The knowledge that the instruments are for his hands alone
settles any unease. The smell of disinfectant is evidence of his diligence and
meticulous care. The lamp is bright so he can see every part of me, always
watching, analyzing. Even the snap of latex as he pulls on a glove is absent
the nervousness I felt during my hospital stay—the nerves a result of all
those strangers rallying to put their hands on me.
When Lex’s fingers press into my abdomen, it elicits a different sort of
shiver.
“Cold?” he asks in a smooth voice that I know all too well. His
unbuttoned sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, revealing his strong, wiry
forearms as he pushes each side of my belly. It’s not the first time I’m
struck by the fluid competence in his movements, nor the resonance of his
quiet voice.
Outside of this room, we’re the Prince and Princess—Lagan and Verity,
expectant father and mother—but inside, he keeps the line drawn between
doctor and patient.
Even now.
I shake my head.
He continues his exploration of my swollen stomach, tone clinically
pensive. “Any pain in the pelvis?”
“No.”
Another push, this time higher. “Belly?”
“No.”
His fingertips drag against my skin as they skate toward each of my
hips. “Lower back?”
“Lex…” I sigh, fighting the urge to squirm. “You know the answer to all
of these.”
“If you think I’m taking shortcuts with your recovery, then you got hit
harder on the head than I realized.” He stands over me, hands firm as he
measures my belly, a lock of auburn hair falling by the side of his face. I
reach up and push it back, revealing the scowl. “Any fluid discharge?”
“Just the ones that happen when you keep touching me like that,” I
complain, shifting uncomfortably.
Bed rest doesn’t mean just resting. It includes all kinds of things I never
realized I took for granted, like climbing the stairs of the palace. Lifting my
books or gardening tools. Walking across the palace grounds. All of that’s
off-limits. My meals are brought to my room.
Lex might allow me time in
the garden, but only because the sunlight is good for me and the baby, and
even that’s supervised by Rory Livingston, a gun strapped to his side. The
solarium is also off- limits until Lex confirms all of the bodies have been
uncovered. But as much as those things suck, none are the biggest hardship
that’s befallen me for the past two weeks. That’s been the other rule.
No sex.
