Chapter Eleven

I turned to see my mother in line right in back of us, my stepfather beside her. Shit. I was hyperconscious of Danial at my side, Theoron holding me around the waist. My mother was staring at me hard, murder on her face.

“Hello, Chris,” Danial said politely. “Hello, Tina. How nice to see you.”

“Danial,’’ my stepfather said politely as well, and held out his hand. Danial shook it.

“Sarelle, can I talk to you for a moment?” my mother forced out, as she dragged me to the outside of the restaurant where she immediately laid into me. “What in the hell are you doing here with him?” she yelled, furious. “You are married to Theo, and he’s a good man—!”

“Mom—” I said, panicked, yet trying hard for calm. Thank God there was no one out here to watch this.

“I know you must have a damn good reason for being here with Danial. So tell it to me!” my mother said roughly. “Tell me it’s not that you’re bored, or lonely, or-—”

“Theo knows I’m here with Danial and Theoron—” I said quickly,

My mother shook her head. “No way!” she spat back. “Theo would never agree to let you go out with Danial, even just out for ice cream. I saw you kissing him!”

There was no way out of this except one: the truth. “See that child holding Danial’s hand, Mom? That’s my son.”

Her mouth dropped open as her face drained of blood. “Your...you and Danial...?” she breathed, not seeming to be able to form the words.

“His name is Theoron,” I said, putting my hand on her arm. “Danial insisted we name him for Theo. I had him when Theo was gone.”

She looked back at me, her eyes narrowed. “He’s too old to be your son. He has to be about four or five. Theo was just missing for two years. You’ve only known Danial for three—”

“He’s aging faster than normal,” I answered haggardly. “He is Danial’s child, and he’s...he’s supernatural.”

“What?” my mom said, incredulous. “Why are you saying these lies—?”

“Look at my face, and tell me I’m lying!” I said scathingly. “I’ve done my best to protect you from some of the strangeness of my life, but I’m tired of pretending, and frankly, you should get to know your grandchild. He probably won’t be the only one you’ll ever have who is like this. But he is the first. If you can accept him, you can accept any that I might have afterwards.”

My mother’s eyes went wider still. “What are you saying?” she whispered. “Are you pregnant?”

“I’m saying Theo is what’s called a werecougar. He can change into a cougar. Elle is the same. Danial is a vampire. Theoron, our son, is half vampire, half human.”

She wobbled. I went to her. Together, we sank down on the bench outside the restaurant. We said nothing for some moments.

Finally, I reached over and grasped her hand. “Yes, I might be pregnant. If I am, the baby might be born a lion cub, like Elle was.
