Not Again

“What time did they say?” I asked Lara.

“They didn’t. They said we could sleep for a while. Come to bed.”

I was standing in front of the mirror wearing nothing but a camisole and panties, admiring my tattoo. “In a minute.” The tattoo started at the outside of my right ankle and ran all the way up my leg, a pair of wolf tracks in a gently curving line. Weaving in and out were the fox tracks.

“God, you are vain.”

“Yes, yes, I am. An utter narcissist. Can we install more mirrors? I don’t believe I should ever be more than a few feet from a mirror. In fact, we should put some out in the woods, so when we’re on a run, I can stop and admire my reflection from time to time.”

She laughed. “We can do that.

I turned to the bed where Lara waited. “Honey, I’m not up for any fun stuff.”

“I know.”

“I didn’t get all the silver out. It still kind of hurts. It’ll be gone in the morning, if they don’t hurt us too much.”

“They aren’t going to hurt us at all.”

I crossed to the bed. Lara was under the sheets. “I want to see yours again.”

She laughed, but she let me uncover her. I looked at her left leg, the mirror of mine, the wolf tracks leading straight up, the fox tracks entwined. I brushed it gently with my fingers.

I turned off the last light then slipped into her arms. Lara pulled the covers over us. I rested my head on her shoulder and my hand over her tummy.

“Is this okay?” I asked.

“Yes.”

I brushed my hand across her tummy. “Did you know they were going to offer the rematch?”

“I asked Angel to tell you about it.”

“Would you have been disappointed if I had declined?”

“No, honey. But I was pretty sure you would want it.”

“And did you ask the doctor if it was okay?”

“Yes,” she said. “But I paid the ransom earlier than I might have. I was worried about the stress.”

“That’s good,” I said. I bent down and kissed her very slightly bulging belly. “Has anyone noticed yet?”

“I don’t think so. How did you last so long, honey?”

“I kept thinking about these two, and how I had to protect them. I called them Flora and Fauna, because those are the only names I know, but when I envisioned them, I imagined two wolves, not two foxes.”

“We could call them that if you want,” she offered.

“No.” I thought about it. “Will we have more than these two?”

“I hope so.”

“Then I think we know their middle names. These two are Elisabeth and Angel, and the next girl’s middle name is Scarlett.”

“I think they would like that.”

“I kept our secrets.” Lara kissed the top of my head.

“Yes, honey. We need to tell them soon. I am showing, and Elisabeth needs to protect me now.”

“That’s my job!”

“I know, but it’s hers too, and all the other enforcers.”

“No one challenges you! They go through me, and no one gets near you! I need all my silver back.
