Hey Guys!! How are you enjoying the book so far? Happy Reading!!! ~ Millie

Keefe's POV

"NO! Wynn! I don't need help!!!" I groan. Jurek (the sanctuary caretaker) laughed out loud.

Since I have gained the job as an Emissary, all Jurek has made me do is pick up poo. Yes, it's sparkly. BUT, it doesn't make it any better!!!!

Actually, since I'm amazing and just that guy, I will admit that Jurek did spend one day teaching me how to read the alicorn's emotions.  And... It was pretty cool. But still. ONE DAY!!!

Anyway. Other than that one day, I have been forced to pick up alicorn poo. Oh, and Wynn and Luna are more than happy to help me out. Actually, no. Not HELP. More like MAKE MY LIFE HARDER. Great.

"JUREK. I want to do something else!" I complain. I often think that complaining is my greatest challenge. 

"Keefe. Part of your job as the Alicorns Caretaker, is picking up their manure."

"Okay. How about you do it. You know, you teach me?"

"No, no. I think your doing fine. Besides, I did do it. When I worked with them in the sanctuary. Even humans have to do it with horses, and dogs. Stop complaining and get the work done."

I let out my biggest groan yet. Fine. I'll pick up the poo. I put the shovel underneath the sparkly substance and fling it over my shoulder. The poo flung through the air and landed right in Jurek's face. 

I start cracking up, hardly able to breath from laughing too hard. Even Wynn and Luna looked like they were laughing, Jurek uses his hand to pull the poo off his face. He looks absolute-

"Keefe, why are Wynn and Luna sending transmissions saying: Poop Face?" I turn around to see Sophie, looking absolutely gorgeous. She was wearing a skirt I think, a red one. With a white tunic on as well. 

"Foster!!! Sencen!!! Um... Sophie!!!" I say. "Look at my art work!" I turn and point to Jurek.

Sophie lets out a small smile, but it disappears quickly. 

"Where can I wash myself?" Jurek asks, clearly irritable. 

"There is an outdoor shower down that path." Sophie says, pointing to a trail that goes deep into the woods. Once he's gone I look at Sophie. She pulls an eyelash out. 

"Back to nervous habits are we?" I ask. She pulls her arms behind her back quickly. "Lady FossBoss. What's up?" 

"Um. Well. Keefe, I don't really know how to- um." Waves of worry and nervousness come towards me. 

"Sophie, you can tell me anything. Anything." I say smoothly. I grab her hand and send a calming breeze. Since she's an enhancer, I can send emotions to her. Thanks to Councillor Oralie, she can turn her enhancing on and off. She looks up at me. Her beautiful brown eyes look wide and nervous. 

"Keefe. I'm-" She doesn't finish. 

"What?" 

"We are going to have a new addition to our household."

"Sorry what? Without all the fancy words." I say, not quite taking in what she said. Surely she doesn't mean- no. But my suspicions are accurate when she says:

"I'm pregnant."
