The Pregnant Spy

Chapter 6: What the Hell

When I awoke, I was lying down. It took me a while to locate where I was. I was still in the office. I was grateful for that at least. If I was taken to the hospital, my identity would have been discovered for sure. I looked around and saw Sophie taking my vitals again. Gabby looked a little pissed and Joseph looked, worried. I looked at Sophie and gave her the signal that I made to let her know that I wanna know what Joseph is thinking. She made it look like she was texting her mom. I would check my phone later.

"Are you okay Twila? You seemed so out of it when you passed out. Why did you call you sister Gabby?" I told him it was because she talks too much. It was plausible. He has seen her chatty mode with some of the other people around the office.

"Okay. But what about you? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

"NO!" I shouted a bit too loud. "No. I'm fine now. That only happens when I lose my temper. I'm fine. I can get up, walk, talk, and function as usual." I felt my temper slowly rising but then, something took the anger right out of me. I saw Sophie turn her head and look directly at Joseph.

"Stop!" She actually gave someone a worded command! Then my anger returned to how it was before it disappeared. My anger was soon replaced with confusion. I looked at Joseph and he was looking confused as well but he was paying attention to Sophie. I wrapped her in my arms like I would if he was scrutinizing my baby bump.

"Mr. Limburg, it is time for us to go. Besides, Twila needs to talk baby names with Jonathan." I blushed at the thought that I still hadn't decided on baby names yet for the twins. He nodded and said he also had some business to attend to at home. We quickly hurried home and I texted Jonathan to come over. I then looked at the text that I had Sophie send me.

He was worried about the way you acted. He had already suspected that your babies will have powers but he thinks that since your not like him and Jonathan, you might be reacting to the magic and that might soon be uncontrollable and you might start being able to use your babies magic. You should talk to Jonathan about what might possibly happen to you.

I nodded at her and coded the text. I always put codes on things in my phone that need to be kept secret. When Jonathan got here, I made Gabby make dinner. It was gonna be sloppy joeys and salad. Me and Jonathan talked baby names. We soon settled on Natalia Johanna and Marisol Jackson for girl names and Jackson Jonathan and Nathaniel Drozdov for boy names. We all ate dinner together. Sophie showed off the fact that she wasn't scared to talk a little. She verbally answered yes or no questions. It was cute the way Jonathan reacted to her. He treated her like she was his daughter.

"So, Jonathan? I need to ask you something important."

"Anything."

"Okay. So are there any risks with my pregnancy that I should know about? Say, oh I don't know, possibly using my kids magic?" He flinched. I knew that they were right. "So they WERE right!" I felt my temper rising again and I wasn't ready to let the anger go. "How come you didn't tell me this! And also, what does Joseph mean that you caused your mom to die?" Sophie and Gabby both looked shocked at this information. "Answer me Jonathan or so help me, I will drag you out into the parking lot and kick your sorry ass where every fucking body can see you getting your ass handed to you by a pregnant woman!"

"I'm sorry okay! I didn't think nothing of it because it varies and plus it wasn't even guaranteed that they will even have powers that manifest before birth. You just happened to experience one of the side effects. Its where the magic makes any emotion stronger and then you're weakened after a while. Also in my defense, it is really rare that a male witch marries a human female. They usually die at the age of four. Just before there fifth birthday." He looked sad.
