Maggie hadn't mentioned any problems. Vicki decided to tell Tori, "Let's not talk about this right now, especially in front of your parents, okay?" Tori was skipping beside her, holding her hand.
"Oh, I know, I wasn't even supposed to know. But I knew you would help us cause my mom says you can really kick a.." Vicki stopped her, "Uh, uh, you know better young lady." Oh my gosh, Vicki thought to herself, I sound like her mother...
As they exited the basement, Vicki smelled a wonderful smell, coffee...ummm she really needed a cup.
"Tori, why don't you go outside and help your dad. He's working with the animals, okay?" Her mother looked at her and said, "Scram missy!" smiling and patting her on the head as she ran by laughing.
Maggie handed Vicki a hot cup of coffee and they both went into the living room.
"So, you want to tell me what's been going on?" asked Vicki as she started to drink the coffee.
Maggie looked at her innocently. "Why are you so paranoid? What makes you think there is anything going on?"
Vicki leaned into her, "I wonder..?" She took another sip of coffee and she suddenly felt sick again. She reached over to the coffee table in front of where they were sitting and set her coffee down.
Maggie frowned, "What's wrong..is it not good?" Vicki nodded her head, "Yes, it's wonderful, it's just that ever since the night at Mike's, I just don't feel well. I mean, I wasn't feeling my best before but it's as if something in me is zapped." The nausea was subsiding.
Maggie reached over to Vicki and said, "I'm not ignoring your question, but give me your hands and let me read you."
Vicki agreed and when Maggie touched her, she felt a rush of power causing her to quickly suck her breathe in.
When Vicki opened her eyes, she and Maggie were standing in a beautiful field of wildflowers, it was incredible. Vicki was wearing a soft white dress and Maggie had a matching one, in maternity of course.
"Where are we?" Vicki whispered. Maggie smiled, "We are in a calming place. I brought you here while I read you so you won't be more upset. How do you feel?"
Vicki shrugged her shoulders, "Perfect actually and that's really strange."
"No," Maggie said with confidence, "I'm just really good at this." Both women giggled like schoolgirls.
Vicki was suddenly back on the couch, feeling much better than she did. She felt like it was only a moment but Maggie told her it was 15 minutes later.
"Well?" She searched Maggie's eyes for any kind of response.
Maggie sighed, "Well, you have alot going on right now. I think you should get some rest, number one, two, doing that type of magic without being trained really did zap you and three...I don't quite..."
"WHAT?" Vicki shouted, "Spill it, now or so help me...," Maggie's eyes flashed, "Look, just because I'm pregnant and due to give birth anyday, doesn't mean I can't still kick your ass!"
Vicki calmed, a little, then laughed. She knew now why Henry was so fascinated by Maggie, they really were almost identical.. But she was frightened of what Maggie was about to say.
"I don't know if I'm the right person to tell you this but Vicki, you're pregnant..." she said smiling like a cheshire cat.
