“What he said. It’s not official. I’ve skipped my period. It happens. We don’t know if I’m pregnant yet.”
“I’ve been doing a lot to make sure you get pregnant.”
Ashley growled. “Please tell the insane man, I can do my chores here and have a healthy pregnancy.”
Luanna held her hands up. “I don’t know anything about pregnancy.”
“So I can send her in?”
“I know about pregnancy,” a man said, coming toward them. He was one of the latest recruits, and Draven knew he was once a doctor. The man had been thorough showing off all of his documentation at the gate. He wanted to survive, to live, and to be useful.
Draven readily accepted him, knowing his skills could come in useful, especially for Ashley.
“Really, what do you know?”
“You can continue to work, so long as you’re healthy. Have you taken a test?”
“No.”
“Then it’s something we need to consider doing right away. She’ll need to take folic acid, as well. I’ll have to check the medical supplies.”
“We emptied out a pharmacy on our last raid,” Draven said.
“The name’s Miller. If you would allow me to, I’d love to be able to help your woman,” he said.
Ashley smiled as she glanced over at him, and he knew she thought she’d won. They were just getting started.
Bending down, he lifted Ashley over his shoulder, being careful in case she was pregnant.
“Draven, put me down.”
“We’re going to see if we’ve got any of those tests,” Draven said, rubbing his hand over her curvy ass.
“Damn it, I thought we were going to wait.”
“I changed my mind. The sooner we know, the sooner we can make sure this is going to be a healthy baby.”
Several of his men burst out laughing as he passed. Ashley stopped wriggling on his shoulder, and he mourned the loss of her fight. Entering the house, he took her straight toward the storage of the medical supplies. Miller and Luanna had followed them.
“See if you can find what you’re looking for,” he said, pointing to the assortment of medicines. Draven found the pregnancy test and held it up for her to see. “We’re going to find out if we’ve been lucky or not.”
Ashley didn’t make it easy, so he had no choice but to carry her to a bathroom.
Opening up the test, he held it out to her. “Come on, baby, it’s not that hard. You pee on this piece here.”
“Draven … I’m scared.”
“You’ve got nothing to be afraid of.”
“But what if it says no?”
“Do you want it to say no?”

“It’s not going to say no.”
