The Sorcerer's Bride Chapter 68

When Fayre woke up she immediately thought of her child . She was currently in no pain, but she clearly remembered being stabbed . Which could not be good for the small life growing in her . She sat up, starting to panic .

Feeling a gentle hand push her back down, she glanced up at her husband, "The child?"

"It's fine, just rest, love," Jayesh had a worried expression on his face . But there was no sorrow of losing his child, so she relaxed .

She stroked her stomach, looking down wishing she could see the bump of the child . While her husband had just assured her that it was fine, and she knew he would never lie to her, she still wanted to be able to check . "How long have I been out? I don't feel any pain?"

"A few hours, Dev healed you," He paused, "We actually almost did lose our child . . . " His voice broke a little, and she saw the way it looked as if he had suffered a great scare .

"But we didn't right?" She patted his arm in a comforting manner, "I'm safe, our child is safe, so no point crying over what might have happened, right?"

Jayesh took a steadying breath as he sat beside her on the bed, he timidly reached out and stroked her hair, "I've never been so scared in my entire life . . . . I am just so glad that both of you are safe . "

She pulled his arm so that he was laying down beside of her and laid her head on his chest . As long as her child was safe she felt no need to be upset .

"I should probably let our best friends know that you woke up, they were rather worried about you as well . "

She smiled at him, "Yes, you should . "

Her husband called one of the people lingering outside in case he needed any help and told him to go let the two know that Fayre had woken up .

Fayre looked at her husband, letting her eyes roam over his tired face . He had such tenderness on his face as he looked back at her, and she knew he would have been devastated had she actually died . She stroked his arm, trying to reassure him that everything was okay .

There was a knock on their door "Can we see her?" It was Zylvia, she sounded like she had been crying .

Jayesh immediately said that they could, much to Fayre's relief . Zylvia, she knew, would not feel better till she had made sure that her best friend was safe and sound .

She watched as her best friend and her husband came into the room . Kaldrek, she noticed, had an arm wrapped around his wife's shoulders . A smile came to her face upon noticing this . Seemed like he was trying to give his wife comfort through his physical presence .

"How are you feeling?" Zylvia's voice was quiet, and the look on her face resembled Jayesh's a lot .

"Well, I am not in any pain, my child is okay, so I would say I ma doing pretty good," She laughed, trying to lighten the mood .

For the most part it worked . Zylvia cracked a small smile, Jayesh looked relieved, and Kaldrek nodded, he had probably expected as much due to his understanding of what the healing magic would have done .

"How about mentally?" Kaldrek removed his arm from his wife's shoulders as he asked this .

"I would say alright," Fayre let out a soft chuckle, "I probably won't want to be alone for a while, but other than that . "

"Of course, that is fairly minor considering what happened . " Kaldrek smiled, "It's good if you don't have any major trauma though . "

Jayesh wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "Oh, darling, I'll make sure you won't have to ever be alone . "

Zylvia walked over and took her hand, "I'm glad you are okay . " She seemed to be able to say much more than that .

Looking at all of them, Fayre could not help but feel loved . These three . . . they all obviously cared about her deeply, though in different ways . It was hard not to feel lucky having three friends who would protect her in any way they could from harm .
