Ch 21
Maggie and Embry continued their lovemaking in the bedroom not seeming to get enough of each other. Early the next morning Maggie woke up and glanced out the window to see the sun rising. It was a few hours before she needed to be ready to open the portal. She snuggled back into Embry's arms as a smile crossed her face. Maggie put a hand on her lower stomach and let out a sigh. Embry woke up a while later and Maggie pressed his hand to her stomach.
"We're going to have a baby." She whispered as Embry sat up.
"Really? You know already?" Maggie smiled and nodded.
"I am a fertility faery. I can detect pregnancy right after conception." She said with a giggle.
"Boy or girl?"
"To early to tell. All I know right now is that I'm pregnant. When I know if it's a boy or girl do you want to know?" She asked with a grin.
"Of course. Let's go get the kids back." Embry dressed as Maggie took her time. Her body was a bit sore from the fighting but she was happy that Morrigan and Kian would now be safe from the vampires. They had a quick breakfast with Tiffany who had just returned from Sue's house.
"Everyone is ok?" She asked.
"Yes, everyone is fine. Things turned out better then expected." Maggie said with a smile. She headed outside and opened the portal and walked through. It was still nighttime and she made her way to her house. Kian and Morrigan were sitting with Bevin and Dillion.
"He is gone. Everyone is ok." The twins jumped into their mothers arms.
"And you two are going to have a little brother or sister." Morrigan hugged her mother tightly and kissed her cheek.
"I hope it's a girl."
"No a boy." Kian said doing the same.
"Let's get back. I'll be sending everyone through shortly. Once I get everything settled about the wedding I will let both of you know." Bevin smiled happily as Dillion nodded.
Once Maggie and the twins got through the portal the other fae were gathered. Bellianos gave them a wave as he ran through followed by Seamus, Patrick, and Ryan. Fiona gave Maggie a hug and walked through leaving Rylan and Serena.
"We wish to stay awhile. The forest here could use our attention. We spoke to the leader Sam and he said it was ok for us to stay." Rylan said with a bow.
"Perfect. I will close the portal but in a few months when it is time for the wedding I will open it for you to go through." Serena and Rylan nodded and took to the woods. Morrigan and Kian hugged Embry who was waiting for them and took off after the sprites wanting to play. Maggie looked up at the edge of the woods and noticed a tall bald man standing there.
"It's Quinn." Maggie said motioning the man over.
"Quinn?" Embry asked confused.
"He's a were-tiger. He has been working for the Nevada vampires since his mother got herself into a situation she couldn't get out of without there help.
"I hear you are the one to thank. I had a crew cleaning the clearing and making sure Northman looks to be the one who killed the king."
"I'm not the one to thank. I was trying to protect my family."
"That's what we all try to do. A tribunal is going to hear the case at an emergency summit in Las Vegas. No doubt a few of the more ruthless leaders will be looking to go after Freyda now she has control of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Nevada." Maggie gave a shrug.
"Quinn, this is my fiancee Embry."
"Nice to meet yea, a wolf huh?" Maggie gave Embry a grin and nodded.
"Are you free of the vampires finally?"
"Yea, my mother tried to escape a month ago and died when she was hit by a car. No more issues for the vamps to clean up. I'm thinking of a move."
"How's your little one?" Quinn pulled out a picture from his pocket.
"Great, Tigress doesn't want much help. She thinks since he's a boy I'll want to challenge him or something."
"He looks like you. I hear there is at least one more female in the states and she's not to old to have another pup." Quinn's eyes lit up. "I might be able to send her your way."
"I would be grateful for it. How is Sookie doing? I heard you were down there for awhile."
"She's good. Her and Sam Merlotte are married and have two little ones and another on the way."
"Sam Merlotte? That's a shocker. When I heard Northman took up with the queen of Oklahoma I figured her and Bill Compton would end up together." Maggie gave a shrug.
"They are both happy and the kids are adorable. The oldest might shift when she gets older."
"A gift from Niall?"
"I guess. She's a girl so she'll have her pick of shifter men knocking down her door plus." Quinn said his good-byes as Maggie and Embry went to go find the twins in the woods.
