The drive back to Orion’s house was filled with excited chatter about the property and wedding
plans.
Sarah and Athena were already discussing color schemes and guest lists while Lily bounced in her
seat talking about being a flower girl.
I couldn’t stop smiling, couldn’t stop looking at Athena with the ring I’d put on her finger catching
the light every time she moved her hand, she was mine, really mine, and soon everyone would know
- it.
We were about ten minutes from Orion’s place when I noticed Athena go completely still beside me,
her hand went to her stomach and her whole body tensed in a way that immediately set off alarm
bells in my head.
My heart skipped. Was she right when she said it was all too good?
No, we deserve all the happiness we were experiencing.
“Athena?” I said, turning to look at her more closely.
“I’m fine,” she said but her voice was tight and I could see the strain around her eyes.
“You’re not fine,” my voice came out strained, my heart pounding against my chest. “What’s wrong?
Is it the baby?”
God please, it shouldn’t be the baby.
“I just felt something,” she said, her hand still pressed against her stomach. “It’s probably nothing.”
“What kind of something?” I demanded, panic rising in my chest.
“Just a twinge,” she tried to smile but I could see past that smile, could see she didn’t want to make
me worry.
“Really Tristan, I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.

Chapter 295
But I was already worrying, already thinking about all the things that could go wrong, about how she’d been in a fight just over a week ago, about how she’d taken hits to her ribs even if she’d
protected her stomach,
We needed to visit the hospital, I needed to be sure,
I could see Orion trying to grasp what we were saying, could see the worry in his eyes too.
“Orion,” I said, my voice sharp. “We need to go to the hospital.”
“What?” Athena said. “Tristan, that’s not necessary, I feel fine now.”
Is she kidding me? Not necessary? We won’t leave the hospital until a full body scan is done.

“I don’t care,” I said. “You felt something and we’re getting it checked out, I’m not taking any chances
with you or the baby.”
“Tristan, you’re overreacting,” Athena tried again but I saw the fear in her eyes that told me she was
worried too even if she didn’t want to admit it.
“Hospital,” I repeated to Orion. “Now.”
Orion didn’t argue, just changed direction and headed toward the nearest hospital, I saw him glancing in the rearview mirror every few seconds, his jaw tight with worry.
I was greatful he didn’t try to talk me out of it, even if he did, I’m not sure I’d listen to him on this
one.
Sarah was glancing at Athena, worry evident on her face too.
“Sarah, can you call ahead?” Orion asked. “Let them know we’re coming with a pregnant woman
experiencing pain?”
“On it,” Sarah answered, already pulling out her phone.
“I’m fine,” Athena said again but her voice was shaking now. “Really, I don’t think we need to do
this.”
“Let me decide that,” I took her hands and squeezed it. “Please baby, just let me make sure you’re
both okay.”

She looked at me and must have seen the terror I was barely holding back because she nodded.
“Okay, I was glad she wasn’t fighting about it.
The drive to the hospital took fifteen minutes but it felt like hours, every second that passed I kept
imagining worst case scenarios, kept thinking about what we’d do if something was wrong with the
baby.
Sarah had called ahead so when we pulled up to the emergency entrance there was already a nurse
waiting with a wheelchair, I helped Athena into it despite her protests that she could walk.
“I’m taking no chances,” I said firmly.
They wheeled her into an examination room and I stayed right beside her, holding her hand while
Orion and Sarah waited outside with the kids.
A doctor came in within minutes, a woman in her farties with kind eyes and calm demeanor.
