Chapter 9

“What’s wrong?” I demanded as I sat up and grabbed her hands. “Tell me.”

“I--” Alyona hiccupped, and tears streamed down her face before she smiled. “It’s good, my love. Very good.”

“Then why are you crying?” I asked and wiped away a tear. “What’s going on?”

“My love, I am with child,” she answered.

My eyes widened, and my mouth dropped open as the news hit me.

My wife was pregnant.

We were finally having our baby.

“Holy shit!” I exclaimed before I jumped up from the bed and scooped her up in a hug. “We’re having a baby!”

“A baby?” Polina mumbled and rubbed her eyes.

“Who’s having a baby?” Marina wondered with a yawn.

“Is Vala in labor?” Trina asked without opening her eyes.

“No, Alyona is pregnant!” I declared as I spun her around and then set her on the ground. “Oh, gods, sorry, did that make you nauseous? Are you feeling okay?”

“I feel fine!” she laughed and kissed me. “But it seems our child has heightened my abilities considerably.”

“No way,” I exhaled. “That must be why I kept feeling those surges of power. I mean, I know I’m not pregnant, but… I don’t know. Maybe that’s crazy.”

“No, no, that makes sense!” Alyona exclaimed. “We’re bonded by the soul bridges and the Redimi Vincio ceremony. Anything that increases my power should increase yours as well. And the gods know this baby has to have a lot of power coming from you.”

“Damn, this is amazing news!” I cried out, and I was grinning so much it felt like my face might crack in half. “What do we do? Do you need to lie down? Do we know how long it takes? Should I make you some tea or something?”

“I don’t need anything right now,” she giggled. “Thank you. And I’m not sure how long gestation will last. Typically, the baby will be born at forty weeks, but with you being a dragon, I’m not sure. I know I’m not laying any eggs, though.”

“That would be horrible!” Marina gasped. “But what a relief!”

“Yes, when it’s our turn to have Lord Evan’s babies, I wouldn’t want to lay an egg,” Trina agreed and scrunched up her face.

“Our bodies couldn’t do that,” Alyona assured them with a smile. “We aren’t made for laying eggs, only for carrying the child. So, we’re all safe from that except for Valerra and Ravi.”

“Well, we have to tell everyone!” I declared. “I want the world to know!”

“The world?” my wife laughed and grazed her fingers along my jaw. “I think first we should tell my father.”

“Oh, gods, of course!” I agreed as I slapped my forehead. “Should we fly there?”

“No, silly,” Alyona giggled. “We can just use my mirror.”

“Oh, right.” My face warmed up before I shook my head. “On second thought, I don’t know if we should tell the world. I mean, I want to, but I don’t know if Lord Calvin should be made aware yet. I don’t know what I think about him, and I don’t want to do anything that could risk your safety or the baby’s.
