He grins. “She’s an other. She specializes in supers’ births.”

“Do you really think this happened because of last night?”

“I believe so. However, we can’t be sure. I’ve never seen this happen before.”

“He’s moving. Give me your hand.”

I take his hand and place it over my belly. The baby begins to move, bringing a smile to my face. I look into Kendrick’s eyes and they’re sparkling with happiness.

“Hi, Knox, I’m Ray, and that big hand belongs to your daddy,” I coo.

“Knox?” He lifts a brow at me.

“Yeah, that’s his name. Venus named him. I like it.”

He smiles and murmurs the name. The baby moves again with the rumble of Kendrick’s voice. He gives a nod.

“I like it too. Are you hungry?”

“I could eat.”

“Let’s get dressed. I should talk to my brothers about Knox and Venus. There is still much we all should share.”

I get up and move to stand in front of the mirror. My face is glowing and my belly definitely makes this all a reality.

“The glow suits you. You look pretty. Thanks for last night,”Venus says.

“No problem. I told you I’d try. Thanks for saving me, by the way.”

“We’ll get you up to speed so you can protect yourself and Knox, but you’re welcome.”

I yelp when Kendrick comes up behind me and tugs me into his arms. He buries his face into my neck. I sigh contentedly.

Who knew I’d be so happy to be carrying this magical baby? Heck, who knew I’d be mated to a huge demigod I’m falling completely in love with? But here I am.

“Come, let’s get you fed,” Kendrick rumbles.

I turn in his arms and look up at him. He has a huge smile on his face as he looks back at me. I palm his cheek and tilt my head.

“What?”

“I’m falling in love with you too.”

Kendrick

I am excitedto be a father, but something feels off. I’m worried about Ray and baby Knox. My son is powerful in his own right. I can feel it.

However, I also feel that something about the nature of this pregnancy has altered him and could affect Ray. Her dormant powers kept her shielded before, in a sense.

Now, I can sense Knox in a new way. I want to visit Mabruk again to get some more answers about my son. The gods aren’t allowing me to see much for myself.

If this isn’t safe for Ray, I will need to take action. The one thing the gods have allowed me to see is that she will give me children of our own. However, when I try to see Knox and his future, it’s a blur.

This brings me fear. Although I can see Ray when I follow her life path, when following the boy’s, I can’t see him or Ray. When I do follow hers, I can see our life, but no Knox.

This isn’t normal. I don’t understand how there can be one without the other. Unless…
