Night Visits(34)

The wolf kind had pledged their allegiance and since my daughter the empress had pled their case they would be left alone, besides they'd more than made up for their part in the earlier affront.

Tammy's anguish and despair called to me once more and I made haste to finish off the enemy so I could return to her. I’d lied to her just a little, there was much fighting but the vastly diminished armies of the enemy was no match for me and mine. The children had chosen to come with me; to stand watch in case I needed help I guess, leaving her to the care of their grandparents. It was time to be done and get back to her.





I felt the children return, it was as if they were rolling around together in my tummy, I could hear their laughter and then suddenly he was here.

I jumped from my chair as he came into the room, my knees buckling under me at the sight of the blood all over him.

"Donovan..." I barely got his name pass my lips before he was there picking me up in his arms.

"It's not mine love, it's our enemies' we're safe now, no one will ever harm you here again."

He looked at his parents as he made the next statement. "All my enemies have been annihilated." I guess they understood what he meant because they nodded their heads in unison, then I too understood as he let me into his head for a fleeting moment. The old man who'd questioned me was dead. I felt a slight sorrow which I knew was Donovan's; he'd not wanted that.

"The council?" Salaman stood up and came forward.

"They backed my play, much was uncovered that I didn't have time to share before going off to the fight, I had to do it this way since the empress will be here soon and all had to be in order before that happened."

I looked at him as his words penetrated.

"Donovan I have at least four months to go, I can't give birth soon the babies would be too small."

"Sorry love but that's not how it works here and definitely not with my seed. Our children grow at twice the rate as an earthling and our daughter has let it be known that she's ready to make an appearance, we barely have enough time to have the official marriage ceremony that's needed for our people to celebrate with us. We'll have to do that and your crowning ceremony together." He went on about all the things we had to do in the next few days while my mind was going into overdrive, my tummy had been growing rather rapidly but I thought that was because of twins. Now I understood why Jacinda kept talking about the marriage and ceremony while her son was off fighting, I'm the only one who didn't know that I was about to be a mother.





PUSSY Excuse me but we never did discuss this birth thing, these people know about C

sections in this burg?"

ME Not now pussy we've got company.

PUSSY Later for that shit, I didn't sign up for this and not one but two and the female is as

blood thirsty as I've ever seen, nuh uh, no way no now.

ME Well I don't think you have much choice in the matter.

PUSSY I can go on strike, put my shit way out of commission, this is bullshit, I knew that

smooth talking fucker was up to no good, now see what you've done?

"Tell pussy I'll make it up to her." Donovan whispered that in my ear with a sly grin on his face. Shit I forgot about this telepathy thing.





I wish I could take pictures and take them back to earth with me I really do but here they have live artists who paint everything in minute detail; it's better than a picture. There're people who record the whole process word for word on scrolls, like history keepers.

There was beautiful music piping into the great hall it seemed but in reality there were people hanging from the ceiling, children really; playing flutes and harps and some unknown musical instruments that I'd never seen. Everything was beautiful; like a dream and at the end was my Donovan. He looked more handsome than I'd ever seen him in his royal robes of black and gold, with his sword at his side, a crown of gold on his head adorned with gems of differing hues. What shone through more than all that was the smile he wore for me and when he held out his hand towards me I glided down the aisle on his father's arm until I reached him and took hold of my future.

We'd sure come a long way from those secret nights of passion, it felt like a lifetime has passed instead of the few months that it had been, but time had no bearing here, one day glided into the next effortlessly. With my enemies gone I was looking forward to this new world, a world where my children will be happy and without fear, and though I know there's much to get used to here the feeling of peace and love that's been with me since his return made it something to look forward to.





Chapter Twenty Three





"Long live queen Tamara; long live the queen....." There were shouts and trumpets blowing and much fanfare as my wife was hailed by her subjects. They lined the streets from the
