The Pregnant Spy

Chapter 9: What Happens Happens. Deal With It!

I was wandering down a road when I started feeling the babies kick. "Ouch! Hey! What are you two doing in there?" I looked up and saw two black Escalades coming down the road. I felt a faint power coming from one of them. "Oh! It's daddy isn't it?" They both kicked at the same time. "Okay." When the first one rolled up to me, Sophie jumped out of the window. She buried her face in my neck. I felt the warm tears flow from her face. "I'm so sorry that I did that but I really needed you safe. I love you very much Sophie."

She looked at me with her tear filled eyes and pouted. "Don't you ever worry me like that again. Do you hear me Clarissa Katie Johnson-Whitfield?" I nodded at her and just continued to hug her. I guess I never realized how much she worried about me. She is just a young girl!

"Okay. Someone needs to go back to the house and check on Annabelle! I kinda, accidentally shocked her through the doorknob."Everyone looked at me. "What? It was the twins!" They still stared at me. I suddenly felt a great surge of power advance towards me. I looked at the second Escalade and saw some wrinkly ladies exit it with Christopher and Elizabeth. Who are they?

"Those are some witches that knew Jonathan and Joseph when they were boys." Sophie answered my question. Okay. Well that explains why they are here but why are they wrinkly? "Their looks were taken from them for standing with Clara. If you can learn to look past the glamour put on them, they are quite beautiful." I looked at them really hard, squinting a little, until I saw what Sophie was talking about.

"Ma'am's, can you please take a look at her? I know she did something terrible and abandoned her family in their hour of need, but it wasn't entirely her fault. It's like in the old bible stories. Her ear was whispered into by a wicked serpent." All four of them looked at me. Judging me probably but I was serious. She was technically family and she shouldn't be punished for doing as her son asked of her. She probably thought it was a reasonable request at the time. She did come back which showed that she cared about her sister.

"Okay, young one. But she will stand a trial when she is well again." I nodded understanding they had customs and traditions just like anyone else. "We appreciate your understanding, Clarissa." She and her comrades walked back to the Escalade and Christopher and Elizabeth drove to the hideaway house.

"Clary?" I looked up at Jonathan and instantly started tearing up. Stupid hormones. I ran into him and started crying which is rare.

"It was horrible. He lied to her and told them our kids were his! And he wants to use them for something but I don't know what."

"I think I might know why my cousin wants them." I looked up into his eyes. "They are the first pair of witch twins ever. I don't know how or why you were able conceive them but it is a blessing that you are still alive. Most moms that conceive twins die along with the babies after two months." I gasped along with my family. My life was in danger before I even knew it. I felt my rage boil up and explode. I shoved him off of me. I saw Sophie have everyone else move back a little out of the corner of my eye.

"You mean to say that you knew that I could have died and you chose not to say anything about that! My life was in danger and you still didn't say anything! How long have you known about this?"

"My whole life."

"And you are just now saying something about it!" I felt like just storming off. I started to feel myself lift off the ground and fly away.

"But Clary! Come on! You were already past the two month mark! Clay!" I was crying. I wish that this wasn't a thing but this isn't a dream. I wasn't sure what I should do. I landed in a private part of a park I guess. There were a lot of trees.
