Cora was not convinced. She shook her head and said, "We still need protection around Adrianna. I have already instructed Blue Moon pack werewolves to go and secure the area around the doctor's clinic." Then she looked at Adrianna and said, "I hope the wizards in your security are also alert."

Adrianna nodded and replied, "They go wherever I go by default."

​​

"Hmm," Cora said as though still not satisfied. In fact she wasn't satisfied. How could she take chances?

Adrianna read her facial expressions and assured her, "Mother, please don't worry. Vikra doesn't know that I am here. He has sent more than half of his army to attack the Wizard Kingdom and he would move with the rest of the army himself. He would never come to the Human Realm and take the risk at this point of time. I am sure that he has already got the news that the two wizards he had sent to breach the wall are now dead. He wouldn't care to even think that I could have come to the human realm."

Cora smiled. Quickly they finished the food and all of them went to the doctor. Adrianna could sense that her security was flying around her under invisibility spell while the werewolves were already there. But what she didn't anticipate was that even Niiya was there with his men. She was shocked to see him. As soon as he saw her, he smiled. She smiled back nervously at him fearing Dmitri's reaction. He had overreacted the last time she met Niiya. Dmitri came and stood close to her when he saw that Niiya was there.

Without any curtsies, he held her hand and pulled her inside the clinic. Niiya's gaze followed them, surprised at their reaction but he didn't say a word. He was asked by Cora to provide safety for Adrianna and so he did. He kept standing outside.

When Adrianna went to the doctor's chamber, she was slightly nervous. The doctor was friendly and examined her nicely. She asked her to take the usual pregnancy test and gave her the strips to pee on them. Adrianna took those strips and left for the washroom. Dmitri was so anxious with anticipation that he closed his fists tightly. What would happen now? Was Adrianna pregnant? He had come here to see the doctor because he believed in the yellow blossoms that he had stared for a long time in the morning. Was he about to become a father? Would he allow Adrianna to fight against Vikra if she was pregnant?

While he was thinking all those things, Adrianna was testing herself. Although she wasn't giving this a second thought because she knew that she couldn't really go thinking that she was pregnant because of that one yellow bloom in the canopy, but what if she was really pregnant. She waited for the strips' lines to appear in order to confirm her pregnancy. She didn't know what the lines meant so when the lines appeared, she simply took them to the doctor and showed them. The doctor had asked her to get at least five strips back and all of them showed lines.

The doctor took the strips from her and without even looking at them properly said, "Your wife is hundred percent pregnant!"

Adrianna's eyes were huge like a football field. Dmitri, who was standing with nervousness, sat down on the chair beside him with a thump and Cora only had unshed tears of joy in her eyes. She went to Adrianna and said, "Congratulations!"

Adrianna's mind went numb. Dmitri opened his mouth to say something but all he managed was a laugh.

The doctor said, "I have to conduct a few more tests, so I will be taking Adrianna inside. I will be back within fifteen minutes."

The doctor went inside and asked Adrianna to follow her in the examination room. Cora gently pushed a reluctant Adrianna in the room, "Go."

The doctor examined her and when they came out, she said, "Many congratulations!"

They calculated when was the last she missed her periods and then looking at Dmitri said, "I think your wife is about a month pregnant already."

Dmitri couldn't contain his excitement. He looked at his wife with pride, with love and warmth. He could feel the tiny baby that was his inside her. She had become a woman. She wasn't the girl that she was anymore until yesterday. Today, she had climbed a step higher on the ladder of womanhood.

"You should be extremely careful Adrianna because this is your first trimester. In this trimester there are maximum chances of miscarriage. So don't do anything that would exert pressure on your tummy. Although your baby is like a tiny seed right now, he or she would need all the protection within those walls inside you. So be careful and I wish you all the best. Keep coming for regular checkups every month," said the doctor before the three of them came out.

Once they were out, Adrianna was still quiet. There were too many things going on in her mind. Niiya looked at her again and when his gaze fell on Cora, she nodded to thank him. It was Dmitri's excitement that was oozing out in a way that Niiya became suspicious. Before he could ask a question, Dmitri went to him and shook his hand vigorously. Saying, "We are pregnant!" he left him with an agape mouth and a dark face. Even if Dmitri had to hide it from the world, he had to tell this news to Niiya. How couldn't he? He could imagine how sour he must be feeling.

Dmitri went back to Adrianna, held her hand and left the clinic. Cora shook her head.

It was already 2PM now.

Adrianna had to go back to the Wizard Kingdom but all her thoughts were in a tizzy. She had to think about her strategy with Vikra for the night, but all she could think of was her pregnancy. She was supposed to become a werewolf involuntarily tonight, but even that thought was pushed back.
