"You're preg—?"
Shikera didn't know she was capable of the leap she made at that moment to shut Noah's mouth with her hand. Seeing the surprise in his eyes, she shot him a glare and whispered,
"Don't breathe a word about what I just said as long as Ethan is here."
Noah nodded. Though he was confused and wanted answers immediately, he knew Shikera wouldn't ask to do this if she didn't have a reason. And he also needed her hand off his mouth!
"You sure?" Shikera asked to confirm, and Noah nodded again before she slowly removed her hand from his mouth. Immediately, she pushed him aside and ran over to Ethan's side. She could see the slight surprise in his eyes as she approached him but she ignored it.
"You came so fast," she commented, looking down to see a hoodie hanging from his hand.
"I was nearby," Ethan replied. "Are you alright? You screamed when you called so I thought there was something wrong?"
