Time Warp (Alastor x OC)

Ch 73

Damn her mermiddies and mermussy are both poppin.

Please forgive me for that previous sentence.

Also I legit love mermaids, and I actually started off drawing mermaids and fantasy creatures. Oh my gosh, you guys, I wish I could show you some of my first drawings...

Fawn's POV

Edith led us back into her spell room and snapped her fingers.

I jumped slightly when a few candles flickered to life, but Al simply held my hand and took me towards where we'd be sitting.

So many emotions are swimming around inside my head right now...joy, fear, nervousness, regret, doubt...

Once we'd sat down, Edith sat across from us, folding her hands into her lap.

"Ok...Fawn, my darling child, it's my understanding that you were presumably infertile, that's correct?" Edith asked.

I held onto Alastor, my grip on his hand a bit tighter than it normally would be.

"Yes...that's correct..." I murmured.

For some reason, talking about this with her is embarrassing me.

Like...she basically knows everything. It's like your parent walking in on you having sex with someone.

"Ok..." Edith hummed, "well...the strange thing is, you still are infertile...at least from what I can tell by focusing on your soul and your aura. Now, there are only two things that could heal that, darling...light magic, and dark magic."

My brows furrowed, and I looked over at Alastor. He had his eyes down, not a smile in sight.

"But I...I haven't done any dark magic, I don't think..." I said, a bit unsure. Did I do something on accident? What would that mean...

Edith chuckled, "oh dear, I know that. Your soul is a bright pearly white, so there's no way dark magic is the culprit."

That relieved me slightly, but I was still a bit confused.

"But, mama, I haven't messed with any magic...so how—"

"The jelly," Al mumbled, "you ate the healing jelly..."

I looked at him, and he had his eyes closed, his chin rested against his fist.

The healing jelly...?

It healed that?

I shook my head, "but...that's...how's that possible, I..."

My words fell off and I was just at a complete loss. A loss of thought, and loss for words. And didn't she say I was still infertile? If that's the case, then what is happening?

Edith sighed.

"My healing jelly is a powerful white magic healing technique passed down through generations...it's a secret concoction that my great grandmother created to heal plague victims during the outbreak in 14th century Europe...it's the only reason the entirety of Europe wasn't obliterated."

My eyes were wide as I listened to her, and she drew in a deep breath before continuing, "my only guess is that when you ate some of the medicine, it attacked whatever issue was keeping your body from functioning normally. Now, this seems to have only provided a temporary fix to the problem, because even though it is a powerful magic, it's not a miracle."

"In the time you were healed, you were impregnated before your condition had time to regenerate. Your body now seems to be back to its original state, however..." she said, and her expression and tone took on a more solemn note, "which is why this is going to be difficult to tell you..."
