“I heard you had a battle,” said Johanna. “Big magical spike.”

Terrance hadn’t told anyone outside his group of Inquisitors, and those records weren’t publicized. “Rumors going around?”

“Just to me.”

So she was keeping track of him. She was sweet, in her own way. Her own weird, kind-of-evil way.

Terrance hoped evilness wasn’t one of those things carried in the blood. His own kid being half-evil… he shuddered. But there was hope, since Johanna herself wasn’t nearly as evil as her parents.

“What else are you tracking?”

She shrugged. “Want to feel the baby kick?”

“That far along?”

“He doesn’t do it too often yet, so it’ll take a bit of luck right now.”

“He?”

“I have a feeling.”

“I guess we’ll just have to see.”

A thought crossed his mind- what would happen to the baby when the Mages' Guild fell? Johanna wouldn’t be on the front lines- it would be mostly Inquisitors dying, and even if they dipped into the other Departments they wouldn’t send a pregnant woman or a new mother. Things would look hopeless for the Mages' Guild long before that, and he would be killing first those most likely to ignore the death of innocents.

And then, no one would ever have to die by an Inquisitor’s hand again.

Johanna moved closer and pressed her body against him. In a more gentle way than normal; pregnancy really was changing her. “You thinking about the future?”

“Something like that,” said Terrance.

“Our baby’s gonna be strong. I can feel it.”

“Yea?”

“Yea,” she said. “And he’s going to rule this world.”
