Chapter 297 - Sisters
Three more weeks passed by, the doctor recommended Roselyn staying in bed and resting since her pregnancy was going to get quite far. Her bump was visible now and that was a further reason for her stay inside in order to avoid any interaction with supernatural creatures or to take any risk.
John brought her food every few hours and checked on her often to ask her if she needed anything or make sure she was fine. She had never felt more loved before, not even when she was a child her mother paid so much attention or care in her regards.
One day Abigail visited her, John hesitated whether to let her in or not but then when Abigail told him she knew about Roselyn's pregnancy he gave up and opened the door allowing her to walk in.
Abigail found Roselyn's room by following her scent and John recommended her not to tire Roselyn too much. Abigail rolled her eyes, "I am her sister." She replied quite annoyed hearing John even take into account the idea she would do something that could harm Roselyn in any way.
She finally walked into Roselyn's room, her sister was sitting down the bead, leaning her head on the pillow as she drank a hot tea.
Roselyn smiled, "John let you in.. That's a miracle." She joked having Abigail giggle and nod.
"He is too apprehensive in your regards sometimes," Abigail observed in a more serious tone of voice.
"I know. He is just concerned since my nature is half-human and the pregnancy intensified furthermore his concern." Roselyn sighed, she didn't think John was exaggerated. He cared a lot about her and he knew very well supernatural creatures so he had all his reasons to keep an eye on her.
Abigail sat on the edge of the bed after he helped her sister to place the cup on the bedside table.
"I wish I could tell our mom about Daniel and your new arrival," Abigail said, her lips curved up in a desperate attempt to force a smile but soon thinned up to sigh.
"I knew she had treated you badly in the past but she still deserves to know even if that means telling her about our supernature." Abigail continued, her voice rang quite miserable.
Roselyn took a deep breath, she put a stroke of hair behind her ear and she nodded.
"You're right Abigail. She deserves to know, we can explain the entire situation to her and then ask her to keep it secret. Hopefully, she will help us and she won't spread the news in the village." Roselyn replied. However, wasn't fully sure about Abigail's demand. yet she knew it was the best thing to do so she was willing to meet her mother if that would make Abigail happy.
"Yes. We will." Abigail smiled, she took Roselyn's hand.
"How are you?" Abigail then asked, her gaze set on Roselyn's bump and she smiled genuinely.
"I am fine. I just feel very tired easily and get headaches quite often." Roselyn replied.
Abigail smiled, recalling her pregnancy which was quite complicated, especially to control her powers and get used to a new body.
"My pregnancy was very hard. I wonder how Victor didn't break up or didn't lose his patience when I was acting like a rebel kid. Maybe we really did find two good men who love us for who we truly are." Abigail observed and Roselyn felt the need to smile and lean closer to Abigail.
She caressed her sister's cheek with her finger and smiled at her genuinely. "We did find two amazing men but we would have done the same for them." Roselyn rectified to cheer Abigail up as she seemed quite off and her voice sounded quite resentful.
"I sometimes feel the need to thank Victor, like if I am not enough."
Roselyn shushed her sister placing a finger on her lips, Abigail's eyes filled with tears but she looked up to drive those away.
"You don't have to thank him. Your presence is already enough for him. I have met so many women who would drool over John and it was driving me crazy but at the end of the day the only women who are laying next to our men and who are by their side day after day it's us not them." Roselyn replied.
If she learned something after all the disputes she had with John was that.
She didn't have to be jealous of women who belonged to John's past because the only woman that belonged and took root in her present was her and her only.
it took her a long time to set her new mindset but since then she never got jealous or irritated at the thought of John's ex girlfriends.
Abigail took a deep breath after a thoughtful silence of half a minute, probably thinking about Roselyn's observation and acknowledging her sister was indeed right.
Abigail smiled, "you're right. You are still the smart sister." She joked as she lifted the pillow and gently hit Roselyn's hand with it.
Roselyn exploded in a laugh as she shrugged, "I always have been and always will."
Abigail remained there to chat with her sister for about one hour and then after setting the day to meet their mother she walked out of the room.
On her way out she spotted repainting a wall of an empty room so she walked closer to him.
"I am leaving," Abigail said peeking her head.
John tilted his head and waved to Abigail who scoffed and walked into the room John was painting.
"You can try to act a bit more amicable with everyone not only with Roselyn." Abigail attempted a joke but John only hinted at a smile.
"I refuse, dear Abigail. My kindness and my heart are only reserved to my wife." He smiled but Abigail only rolled her eyes before she walked out of the house accompanied by a maid.
'He joked at least that was a progress' Abigail told to herself while she left and speeded in Kratez to get back home to his family.
