The Future of Princess Sabina
Chapter 71: Double Confession.

A few weeks later, I lay on the couch at home, relaxing after the light morning run I had done along the rocky Sydney coastline. I am glad that my body has fully recovered. According to medical experts, it was a miracle, because the amount of brain scarring I had when I came to the hospital had left me brain dead.

Glad I have recovered physically, I feel depressed by realizing what this means. I have to be honest. I have to tell Alex the truth.

I approached Alex in the kitchen. He was drinking coffee and looked at baby Keila O'Neill happily. I hesitated. I know that Alex has an important day at work. After my recovery, he went back to work for the charity we started, although we are now only focused on ocean cleanup projects, as I have lost the ability to make more money.

I pushed my reluctance. I knew that I could always come up with a 'good' reason not to tell Alex the truth, but that reason was just cowardice. If we have to live happily together, we have to be honest with each other.

Alex noticed me, smiled and spoke, “He's beautiful, isn't he? Our daughter, Keila. ”

I looked at the baby who was sleeping well in his cradle. Every baby is beautiful to their parents, but Keila is amazing even with that in mind. No doubt because of his half-Zetan DNA.

I hesitated, cleared my throat, and spoke, "Alex, there's something I have to admit."

Alex's smile disappeared, and he looked at me with a serious expression. “I think a lot. I have my own confession to make. But I feel better waiting until you recover, ” Alex said. I nodded and said after thinking, “I think we both think. What confession? " “When you arrive at the hospital, the doctor says that you are brain dead. After a month of no progress, I think change o f your life support. That's when we found out you were pregnant. I've decided to keep you alive so you can give birth to our daughter. " Alex looked regretful, and his voice broke. "So, you almost gave up on me, and kept me alive just as a womb for our daughter?" I cried. "Yes. I almost gave up on you. If you weren't pregnant in a coma, you'd be dead by now. Now that you are back, I feel so guilty for ever thinking of handing you over! " Said Alex and looked at the floor.

I thought about Alex's confession. I'm not mad at him. Alex was just a normal human being, and it made sense that he would give up on me, when the doctors declared me brain dead. I patted her on the shoulder, looked her in the eyes and spoke, “ It's okay. Most people would think of giving up on someone in such a situation. The important thing is that I survived in the end. ”

" Thank you. I feel better now that this burden is on my chest. ” Alex replied, and WIP her tears.

A moment of silence ensued. The elephant in the room was still there. My confession to Alex. Although I have forgiven his offense, I cannot be sure that he will act in the same way.

"Uhm, I also have to admit something," I said quietly.

Alex nodded and replied, "Alright, let me hear it." "Keila's not your daughter" I admit.

"good. Tell me what's going on? " Alex answered with resignation,

“ When I travel with Brahma to face Rangda, I have plenty of time for reflection. I thought of a problem that had been gnawing at the back of my head for centuries. Why am I not pregnant with you. I asked Brahma for advice, and he ran an advanced Zetan test that proved that you are infertile. A few days passed, and I realized that Brahma would definitely be the father who was meant for Keila. My mother in the 29th century had Zetan abilities, and Brahma was a Zetan. So I combined the two. ” I explained.

“And what if Brahma lied to you? You told me that Brahma was in love with Rangda, and that Rangda was like you. What if you were just a substitute for the love he could never have again? ” Alex speculated. "Well, if it's true, it's all happening for a reason. If I don't get pregnant again, I won't be alive today. " I answered in earnest. Alex pondered my statement, nodded, sighed and spoke, “Yes, I guess you are right. But I have to go now. "

Hearing this, I panicked at the possibility of losing him, and I knelt down and pleaded, “Please don't go! Stay with me."

Alex stroked my hair and smiled. "Don't worry, Sabina. I'm just going to the Great Barrier Reef conference in Brisbane to find sponsors for our marine restoration project. I'll be back in a few days. I'm sure we'll solve our problems when I get back. ”

Hearing this, I smiled. Alex chose duty over love this time, but he'll come back for me. It's the best solution for everyone. “ Okay, my dear, good luck at the conference. I'll talk to you soon! " I told you.

“ It's okay, Sabina. You have engaged in sexual intercourse with the natural creatures outside, it is not something I would feel threatened by.” Alex said, grabbing his suitcase, and rushing to the Auto Driving Car waiting outside our Southern Coogee home, ready to drive him to the airport.
