Chapter 13

Patricia left around midnight with the promise to post the muffin shop’s closed notice before heading home. Not that Sapphire didn’t try her best to get the woman to stay. She did. Misery loves company and all that, but that wasn’t her intention at all. There was also safety and strength in numbers. And I don’t know about the others, but I had a really bad feeling in my gut that the council wasn’t done with this one just yet.

Once Patricia headed out, I tried my level best to get Sapphire to agree to pack up and come stay at the farmhouse.

“Absolutely not!” Sapphire stared at me like I’d lost my mind. “I’m standing behind Archie in all this!”

I frowned at her. What? “And I’m standing right there beside you behind Archie too.” Somehow that sounded better in my head than out loud. “But is there any reason we can’t do our standing at the farmhouse?”

See, here’s the thing. There’s always a thing, isn’t there? I had no doubt that Kimberly would be up to the challenge of handling three regular kids, a house, and still have it in her to run a shop. The woman was a miracle maker, not a doubt in my mind. But of the kids we were talking about, only one of them was normal.

Poor little Mason was as normal as the day was long. Nancy was a young, but surprisingly powerful, witch in her own right, but her head was in the right place, thank the Goddess. I really didn’t think she’d be giving Kimberly any kind of problems. In fact, I thought she’d likely be a big help with the said normal child, Mason.

The problem was that tiny little baby Pearl. Lately, there had been signs that baby Pearl was already coming into some power. At four months old, that was unheard of. At least, I’d certainly never heard tell of that young of a proper magical witch. Baby Pearl was bound to break records and traditions all over the place, I was certain.

That’s what had me decidedly worried. I needed to be there when that started happening. I also needed to figure out a way to alert Kimberly to the upcoming fiasco that was sure to come. If only my life would even halfway resemble normal for a week or two, I might get that done. That hadn’t been my luck lately.

But still. How much trouble could a four-month-old witch get into in the space of a few days? Goddess, but I really didn’t want that question answered.

I looked at Sapphire again. She was standing firm on the whole making a stand thing. “I’m not going to talk you out of this, am I?”

“Not in a million years, sister.” She hesitated. “But I would understand if you need to head home.”

The fact that she hugged herself as she said it made me know just how much those words had cost her. She didn’t want me to go any more than I wanted to leave her.
