A Highlander's Night

The Dream

As she slept she dreamed but the dream wasn't of her at least she think so. In the dream she saw a two story house with a porch wrapped around. She followed as the dream went around the house. As they came to the backyard she saw three little kids. One girl and two boys they were wrestling on the ground with three puppies.

Jess watched them play but they stopped and saw they looked toward the house. When the dream moved Jess saw Duncan step out the back door and down the porch steps. When he was on the ground all the children yelled.

"Papa!"

They ran and knocked him down. Duncan laughed as he tickled them. They girl who Jess knew was named Andriana Grace and only 3 sat on his stomach.

"Why mommy go to the doctor."

Duncan smiled. "She was gonna check on the baby."

One of the boys who was two and whom name was Jeffery Morgan looked at his daddy." Papa how did mommy get a baby in her belly?"

His twin Callum Michael who they called 'Cal' laughed. "Papa did the magic put the baby in momma's tummy."

"Yes son."

Andriana smiled. "Momma's home."

Duncan stood up and kept his hand on his kids shoulders as a suburban pulled into the drive and into the garage. Jess watched as a pregnant woman walked out her hand over her womb. But when the dream moved to her face Jess knew if she was awake she would gasp. The pregnant woman was her.

She smiled as the kids laughed and called out "momma" and ran to her to hug her. She watched as she leant over and hugged the kids when she straightened Duncan walked up and placed a sweet kiss on her lips.

"How was everything?"

"Good."

She took Andriana's hand and lead the up on the porch. Duncan followed a son on each side. She watched herself settle into the swing on the porch and Andriana on one side Cal on the other. Duncan pulled on a chair toward the swing and held Jeffery on his knee.

Cal placed his hand on her distended abdomen. "What did the doctor say momma?"

She watched herself smile. "He said I was doing great and he told me something that you might like."

Jeffery leant forward. "What?"

She smiled. "He told me that I am having another healthy baby."

Jeffery and Cal were laughing. Andriana gave a weak smile.

"Momma is it more brothers."

She smiled and hugged her daughter. "He told me that I will be having a girl."

Andriana laughed and hugged her and the boys smile.

Cal looked up at her. "I guess that's okay were even now."

Everyone laughed.

The ground in the dream shook and she watched herself look up to Robbie and Matt coming closer.

Matt yelled. "Get the kids in the house."

But before anything could happen they saw a woman on the edge of the forest looking at them.

She watched as she walked up not listening to Robbie, Matt, or Duncan she stopped feet away from the woman.

"What do you want?"

The witch smiled. "Your daughters of course. The angel behind you and the one you carry."

She placed a hand on her stomach. "You'll not have my children."

She heard her daughter scream and saw Andy rise off the ground and float toward the witch.

Not knowing were it came from she threw her arm out and lightning shot out at the witch. Andy got on the ground and ran to her.

"Duncan take Andy, Robbie take Cal and Matt watch Jeffery." She felt the men do what she told them and the witch took a step forward.

"I will have them there is no denying it."

She smiled. "There is one thing you should know."

"What?"

"It's not nice to piss off mother nature." She raised her hand and a tree root grew out of the ground to swip at the witch send her back ten feet.

"You'll pay for that."

The witch shot a fireball at her and with the flick of her hand and word she didn't know the earth rose to create a wall to protect her. When the fire blast hit it the wall fell.

She sent another jolt of lightning toward the witch and the witch sent it back and it headed for her stomach. She didn't think she could respond fast enough. The witch was wanting to kill her baby. As the lightning hit her stomach...
