Olaysa frowned, deep in thought as she brought her hand to the left side of Alex's abdomen, moving to the right. Her eyes widened slightly as if noticing something. Focusing a little more intently, she closed her eyes, taking a deep breath and opening them quickly.
"There seems to be...hm." Olaysa furrowed her brow before looking at all three in the room, trying to explain herself. "You seem to have been able to produce a entirely new organ, as I assume from the link you two share." She shook her head, taking her hands off of Aleksander while looking at him, slightly amazed. "It is rare. But the link you two share is dated back millennia ago, around when the first vampires had been created. This connection is shared between a very small group of vampire, it can be between ones of the same or opposite gender. I believe when you two met, the link wasn't as strong as it is now, correct?"
Rayne nodded shortly, completely bewildered as to what was being said as the doctor continued. "As it increased so did the hormones in Alex's body. You see...this increase, as well as the connection itself caused his body to create a womb, it takes a few weeks and is very rare but I believe this is what may be happening. I can sense the blood flow in your abdomen, very abnormal for most males, but not so much for pregnant females."
"What?" Rayne asked under his breath, shocked for a moment. He was at a loss for words, thinking to himself that what she said didn't pertain to Aleksander right?
Olaysa understood the shock, smiling lightly at Rayne. "You are well known, but this will only make everyone more interested I'm afraid. The connection has the ability to allow both people involved to...procreate, so to speak."
Rayne's eyes shot towards Alex, wanting to ask so many questions that he blanked out, mouth slightly agape as he thought it over in his head as to what the doctor said.
Aleksander was pregnant.
