Chapter 143: The Ice Princess
Three months had passed since they’d chosen normal life. Elara thought the hardest part was over.
She was wrong. "Something’s happening," Elara gasped, falling over in the kitchen. "I think... I think I’m having another baby." "That’s impossible," Kael said, dropping his coffee mug.
"You just had Hope three months ago." "Tell that to my body," Elara said through tight teeth.
Another sharp pain hit her. "This baby is coming now." Ronan rushed to her side. "But you weren’t even showing. How can you be in labor?" "I don’t know," Elara said.
"Maybe giving up our powers messed with everything else too." Darian was already calling their mother. "She’s not answering," he said. "We’re on our own."
"I don’t know how to deliver a baby," Kael said, fear in his voice. "Neither do I," Ronan added. "Figure it out," Elara said.
"Because this baby isn’t waiting." Luna emerged in the doorway, holding baby Hope.
"I felt the disturbance," she said. "This isn’t a normal birth." "Nothing about our family is normal," Elara said.
"Even when we try to be." "This is different," Luna said.
"The baby that’s coming... she’s connected to Kael specifically." "What do you mean?" Kael asked.
"She’s only his," Luna said. "Not all three of yours. Just his." "How is that possible?" Darian asked.
"When you gave up your powers, they didn’t just disappear," Luna stated. "They went somewhere. Into the future children you might have." "Future children?" Ronan asked.
