Page 36 of Surviving Enchantment: Part two
Hannah grimaced.“I think I will chat with Matthias and see if he can nudge the decision.”
“There is an ongoing investigation.She will be clear when it’s over, but that will be weeks, and her mat leave was schedule to start in five weeks.”Solor nodded.“She does need something to do, though.”
Hannah grinned.“Well, I know she can drive and do excellent spell work.Plus, if we get together with Isocar, we have a whole look going for us.”
Isocar blinked and blushed.
Solor laughed.“Ask her before she starts a fight.Please.”
Hannah nodded.“Earning my battle companion badge yet again.”She stalked over to Nylora, and Isocar watched as Hannah spoke to her sister, and Nylora spoke with her hands fluttering in the air and making frustrated fists.
Hannah—wisely—didn’t touch Nylora, but she let her talk.Hannah spoke softly, and Nylora listened.And then Hannah hugged her.
They talked quietly in the hug, and she looked at Nylora seriously.The frustrated fae rubbed her eyes, and Isocar noticed that her sister was crying.She walked over to the two ladies and hugged Nylora as well.“I know it’s frustrating, but we can make a series of carnivorous plants in your off time.Spending time with me can be a perk.We can set up your nursery and plan for Bump.Look into colleges.”
Nylora laughed.“Bump isn’t even born yet.”
“It will be here before you know it.You and I don’t have the best sense of time.How many more are you planning?”Isocar smiled at her sibling.
“At least five, possibly more.I can’t see past that.”She grinned.“You should see how many Jennel is having.”
“Hmm.Any for me?”Hannah grinned.
Nylora looked at her.“Do you really want to know?”
Isocar smiled as Nylora whispered in Hannah’s ear, and she got pale and then blushed, or as much as she could with charcoal skin.
Isocar said, “So, you can see her future?”
“No, but I can see to the next disaster, and it is far down the road, and I can see how old her kids are in the vision.”
“Or.Right.Do I have any kids?”
Nylora winced.“Well, yes.But they are a little strange.There are two.Your partners are happy about it, but I am not giving any additional information on that as you don’t appear to have met them yet.”
“Ah.Got it.There are two but not when, and there are multiple partners, but you don’t know who.Well, that’s hopeful that I can let someone touch me without screaming.”
“From the amusement in your expression as they cover your eyes for your birthday, there is a lot of trust going on.”
“Our birthday.”Isocar smiled as she realized that she shared more than she thought with her twin.
“Whatever.”Nylora waved her hand in the air.
“Oh, they would have assigned you one, right?”
“Yup.We don’t match there.They guessed, and it was two years before I could tell them that they were wrong.”She smiled.“But I was eventually potty trained.”Nylora chuckled.“That freaked them out.”
Isocar blinked.“We didn’t really cover your early years, did we?”
“No, but Jennel found my original baby dress that I was walking around in when they found me.She figured out that I had been traced back to Dem-rah’s, and he remembered me and my insatiable craving for tortillas.I hope no one told him that I wasn’t on solids yet.”
Isocar winced.“Right.I am sure they figured it out.You are here, after all.”
“Yup.I am.We are.And soon, Bump will meet everybody and join a community.Lots of aunties and uncles, and tons of XIA.This is going to be a dangerous kid to date.”
Hannah’s eyes got huge, and she started laughing.“I hadn’t thought of that.Oh, I am glad I am only going to have boys.”
Nylora looked at her with mischief in her tone.“You sure about that?”
