Magnus was on her phone calling another. All Will heard was bring something to read before she hung up. In a few minutes there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The door opened and The Big Guy walked in. "Yes Magnus?"
"Take care tea then come right back."
He nodded and did as she asked. Then came right back to stand right beside her.
Their was another knock on her door. She got up off her couch and walked over to the door and opened it. "Hello Kate come in and sit down on the couch. Get up William and sit down on the couch as well."
As he got up out of his chair and went over and sat down sat on the far side of the couch. As faraway from Magnus as he could get. She came in and sat as near as she could get to Magnus on the couch. That left an open an open space between them.
"Now you will sit their as long as it takes for you to work this out. And the Big Guy is going to see that neither of you move from the couch till you do. Big Guy did you bring something to read why you see to it that they work this out.?"
"Yep."
"Then I am going to the library to do some research. Than she looked at them, no shouting." Than she left the room closing the door behind her.
The Big Guy went to one of the chairs with his book sat down opened it and started reading. He totally ignored the them as he read.
"Well are you going to tell what's wrong with you Will?"
"No."
"She said you where ready to tell me?"
He just looked away.
"What's wrong, Is it me? Do I turn you off?"
He glanced at her. "Its me not you." He said in a shamed voice.
"How?"
He just stared at the fire in the fireplace.
"I can't help you. If you wont tell what the problem is?"
He just continued to stare at the fire in the fireplace.
She moved over next to him reached out with her right hand and grab his chin. She turned his face until faced hers. She looked right in to his eyes. And spoke in the language that they used when he was a prince and she his bodyguard. She asked him. "What is wrong?" He didn't say anything back.
"Why wont you talk to me?"
He just looked in her eyes. Then moved closer to her and almost gave in. At the last-minute he pulled away from her. When he did he could see the pain he caused in her eyes. He felt like a heel.
She could see the love in his eyes. As they almost kissed, then he pulled away from them. He didn't know the pain he was causing her. But she could see the echo of that pain in his eyes. 'Why what is wrong?'
He started to get up from the couch.
"I wouldn't Will." The Big Guy rumbled from where he sat.
He froze and then sat back down.
She suddenly reached over garbed Wills chin turning him face to face with her. Then brought her lips to his in a deep kiss. He melted in to her arms. As they snaked around his neck.
His arms snaked around her waist hugging her deeply as they kissed.
When she felt him stiffen up. She tightened her hold around his neck.
In time he slowly loosened up and relaxed into her embrace.
She slowly broke the kiss and just leaned into him. And didn't let go of his neck and she let his arms settle loosely around her waist.
'This is wrong but it feels so right. I better stop this now before it goes to far. And I lose control and we lose everything. He thought'
She felt him start to pull away again. "No Will, stay with me. Let me help you. Just tell me what is wrong so we can fix it please?" She begged of him.
His resistent cumbered at her words. He never figure on how much he was hurting her. Only the price they would pay, if they did the act. He could no longer hide the truth from her. It was time she knew the full truth. "Okay you want to know what has been on my mind these last few days?"
"Yes."
"When I got shot by other retrieval team members. Then bitten by the abnormal we came to retrieve. I took a precaution ahead of time, by using my abilities to heal if I got shot or poisoned. I never thought it would be both. Know one else would have survived such injuries not even Magnus."
"Even Magnus?"
"When you rolled me off you and the pain was too much for me I fainted. Then you touched your ring finger to mine and reversed the curse."
"How?"
"What was spiritual became physical. They way I could tell is because of the rings. They went from being only ghostly objects that only you and I could see clearly. To solid gold rings that anyone could see. Everything was reversed. You would be the one who would have the full memory of are past lives not me. We would no longer be drawn together. And if one dies than they would be reborn without waiting for the other to die. When I got shot, bitten and your changing from Kate to Mara it almost cost me my life. See when you changed it drained me of a third of my power and abilities. Being shot and bitten drained me of most of the rest of my power and abilities. I've only got about forty percent back of my power and abilities back. It was the reason I was so tired when we finished showing Magnus are power and abilities."
"Why didn't you tell me this before Will?"
"Because I know how much having are daughter and breaking this curse means to you. But until I get my full power and abilities back having a child is beyond me."
"Why?"
"It's the price I paid so you and are daughter would get a quick and painless death." As he said it he looked away. He didn't want her to see the pain in his eyes.
Stunned at his words. 'What is the price he paid?'
He just looked at the fire in the fireplace.
She had leaned away from him for a minute. Than leaned right back against him.
