CHAPTER SEVEN

It was after breakfast and sometime later that Miley asked Clytie to take a walk with her. They headed out to the back and around the stone path to the garden that Clytie and Cassandra had started last spring. Cut back and ready for winter now. The wind that whipped through the pine trees had a bite to it that stung the nose, and made her eyes water. She loved fall, the crunch of the leaves beneath her boots and the way the wind whipped about and chilled her after the long summer heat.

“I’m not sure how to put this, other than to just say it,” Miley started, her voice tentative as they walked the path towards the wild woods. “You know I’m a healer?” she asked and stopped so that Clytie had to stop and face her as well.

“I do,” Clytie smiled at her. “I think of all the amazing things I’ve seen and heard since I met Demon, that is the coolest.” She smiled at Miley trying to put her at ease. They had an ease of friendship since Lucas brought Miley home the first time. So, this lack of comfort on her part was making Clytie a little worried.

“Thank you,” Miley took a deep breath. “As a healer I can sense things about others.”

Clytie tipped her head and studied the careful look on the other woman’s face. “Are you going to tell me I am sick and have only a few days to live fully and marry the love of my life before I die?”

“What? No!” Miley looked appalled.

“Good,” Clytie laughed. “For a second it felt like we were transported to a Lifetime movie.” She shook her head smiling at Miley. “Just say it. Whatever it is you are trying so hard not to say.”

“Do you know you’re pregnant?”

Well, she had not expected that. Clytie immediately felt every muscle in her body lock up and she was suddenly needing a great deal more air. “Come again?”

“So, that would be a no, you didn’t know then?” Miley gave her big eyes and then smiled. “You are most definitely with child.”

“Whhhah?” She tried to form a word, any word, but it took her a moment to get her tongue off the roof of her mouth and then she just settled for what she could give. “Huh?”

Miley laughed and hugged her, and Clytie was not ashamed to admit she clung to the poor woman like a barnacle. She may have even whimpered a few times, but then it hit her, what it meant, the words she had been speaking. She felt her eyes fill with tears for what felt like the umpteenth time that day. “I’m going to have Demon’s baby.”

It wasn’t a question, but Miley caught the joy shining in her wet eyes and her own started to fill. She smiled, and then laughed a little shakily, wiping the tears that fell from Clytie’s cheeks. “Yes. You are going to have Demon’s baby.”

Then the enormity of the situation hit her.
