A couple months later Bibi was reading with The Ancient One in the library.
"Miss." She whispered.
"Yes."
"Would you've willing to see Kaecilius and I privately this evening?" Bibi's cheeks were flushing, The Ancient One avoided her gaze.
"Whatever for Bibi?"
"It's a secret." She bit her lip waiting for a response but it didn't come until after a long pause.
"I think I can meet you both this evening."
Later that evening Kaecilius and Bibi sat across from The Ancient One. She was making tea and they were all quiet. As she brewed the tea she couldn't help but notice them exchanging glances and smiles, and it made her solemn.
"So what is it you wish to speak to me about?" The Ancient One spoke, looking into Bibi's eyes. Bibi looked to Kaecilius to answer.
"We wish to be blessed by you." He began.
"Blessed?" The Ancient One was dragging things out.
"As you know Master, marriages are not allowed in the sorcerer studies of the Kamar-Taj unless the Sorceress Supreme blesses the union...and well..." Kaecilius began.
"Master we wish to be blessed." Bibi finished. The Ancient One saw a hope in her eyes she had never seen before and felt guilty. After minutes of being silent as she poured everyone tea The Ancient One spoke.
"I cannot bless this union. For the path it will take both of you is one of pain and suffering." Bibi and Kaecilius were silent and looked at each other, he defensively stood.
"But Master!" He was shaking.
"Kaecilius sit." He obeyed.
"Master, please. If we love each other how can we be led down a path of pain and suffering?" He desperately reasoned. Bibi hadn't seen him so distraught since the night on the bench when they first held hands.
"I cannot allow this union." The Ancient One calmly spoke. Kaecilius stood and left the room, slamming the door.
"Master..." Bibi began.
"I'm sorry. I wanted to stop it. But I was too late."
"What did you see?"
"I've seen each path of each outcome. The one you are down now won't be easy Bibi and I'm sorry I couldn't prevent it."
"I love him."
"I know and it hurts me all the more that you'll have to go through this."
When Bibi found Kaecilius he was in his room pacing back and forth.
"Kaecilius..."
"Let's leave." He embraced her, cupping her face.
"Kaecilius, I don't want that." She frowned, pulling his hand away from her face.
"She just wants to use us Bibi. There can't be any other reason."
"Kaecilius, what if she's right?" He got quiet and stared at her for a moment before going to her and falling to his knees.
"Bibi. Please, you're all I have now." He held her hands tightly, tears forming in his eyes.
"She had to have been saying it with reason! She cares for us both!" She saw the tears begin to fall down his face. "We have to at least consider her words."
"You're willing to throw this all away because of her." He coldly spoke.
"I didn't say that."
"You're willing to abandon us!" He stood looming over her beginning to shout. "For the words of a woman who knows nothing about love!" She brought her hand to her chest, stepping back from him. He tightly grabbed her arms and she winced in pain.
"Listen to me!" He pleaded. She knocked him back by harnessing energy into a shield that separated them. Kaecilius fell back.
"You're scaring me." He looked at his hands then to her and realized what he had done.
"Bibi...I'm sorry."
"Leave me alone Kaecilius." She whimpered. He put his head down and left the room.
The next morning she woke up feeling sick and had to rush to the bathroom to vomit but she was too scared and upset to go tell Kaecilius.
For a week they avoided each other, and as the week went on her symptoms got worse. She went to The Ancient One about them and was given herbal remedies. When those didn't work she was given a pregnancy test, and on the week anniversary of their fight she not only found out that he had run away from Kamar-Taj with four other students but that she was pregnant with their child.
