The work didn't take very long. Her father didn't do much but he was always encouraging people. When Gemma would pass by Kartik she would stand a few seconds admiring him. A few weeks and they were done. It didn't even take long to find a buyer.
1 year later
Enjoying some fresh air Gemma looked out the window at the road. Kartik would be home soon from his job down on the dock. She stepped outside so she could smell the breeze from the harbor. Then it hit her, breathing deep she worked into the vision.
A little girl was playing in the yard. " Mommy why is daddy so late?"
" I don't know sweetheart." just then he rounded the corner, "look! There he is." The little girl raced down the yard screaming, "Daddy!"
Kartik dropped his bag, scooping her into his arms." Hello my little lady bug."
The vision changed
It was all clouds. Nothing but bright white all around her. " Hello, Mrs. Doyle." Said a figure that appeared before her.
"who are you?"
" I was a member of the Order before I died. I was chosen to give you a message." it paused before continuing, " You were the chosen one to work the realms magic. Your daughter, the one growing in you now, will have visions but will never enter the realms unless you take her. Your family will always possess this gift of vision, but never more."
"why are you telling me this?"
" So you will understand. You had the strongest gift, and the realms are at peace. Your family and the rest of the order will move on. "
"What about the spirits?"
" The sacrifice made changed the tree's purpose. Now they can speak for themselves one last time. It's your time to return to the real world. Your mother sends her best wishes and love."
" Give her mine as well?"
" Of coarse. Now off you go."
" Gemma!" Kartik called, " You scared me."
" I'm sorry."
"What happened?
" I had a couple visions."
"About?"
" Oh Kartik!" she wrapped her arms around him, " we're going to have a beautiful baby girl."
" A baby?"
" Yes, she is just like you."
