A Highlander's Night

Speaking with the Guardians

Meanwhile at Robbie's Robbie stepped out the back door and looked toward the path where Jess would come from. His thought were interrupted when he head a truck drive up. He turned and saw Matt walking up.

"What ya doing here Matt."

"Jess called me said for me to get over here."

"She told me she needed to talk to me."

Before either one said anything else they head a horse. Looking toward the path they saw Jess riding up on a horse.

As she neared Robbie grabbed the horsed reins from her as Matt helped her down. Robbie tied the horse to the post them turned to Jess.

"What you need lass and where is Duncan."

"He went to Bangor he won't be back till this afternoon but it something you two would know more of."

Matt tilted his head. "Why would we know more?"

Jess took a deep breath before she answered. "Because you where there protecting my children when the witch attacked wanting my daughters."

They both stared at her. Matt took her arm and they lead her to the side so she could sit down.

Robbie sat beside her. "What are you talking about?"

"I know it was a dream but I.... Is it possible that being pregnant with a gifted child and I can tap into those powers?"

They both stared at her then Matt answered. "Powers?"

"Oh come on two guardians would know more about powers, especially when one was a druidth."

"Who told you that?"

Jess placed a hand on her stomach. "My daughter Andriana."

Robbie nodded. "Yes we are Guardians but what do you mean by your daughter."

"The night all you went to dinner and Duncan stay with me we made love without protection. That night I had the first dream, then last night I had another."

Matt sat down. "Tell us these dreams."

She told them both dreams from the witch to her daughter making a flower grow.

"I know from the first dream my first born Andriana could see things before they happened. I know one of the twins was Matt's heir till Tom was old enough. Sadie my third could control the elements. I could feel them when I used them to protect my daughter. I feel as if I am using my unborn babied powers to see some of the future but I don't know what to do."

Matt and Robbie stared at each other. Matt then looked at Jess. "I have never heard of a mother tapping into her unborn child powers but it Providence has something planned for these children and need them protected I am sure you would be able to, if you were pregnant."

Jess took Matt's hand and placed it on her stomach. "Stop listening to you brain and use your powers you could sense it."

Matt closed his eyes and focused sure enough he could feel a strong power growing inside her. He gasped and looked at Robbie.

"She's right I can sense something."

When Matt pulled his hand away Robbie placed his in the same spot.

"You are pregnant and the child's power is indeed a seer."

"See I knew there was something going on."

Matt looked up. "Then you know all about the magic."

"Nearly I know what you two are I knew what Winter was. I even know that Kenzie, William, and Trace are warriors to help lost souls. Not to mention Matt and Kenzie were born in the ninth century and Grey, Callum, Morgan, and Michael come from the twelfth."

Robbie sighed. "Then there is no more we can tell you. You know everything you need to know."

Jess looked up. "But what about Duncan, how will he feel about all this."

"You have to tell him."

"I'm scared too. I know in the dream he is my loving husband but I don't know if it was a bumpy road and I don't think I could handle that right now."

Robbie turned her chin to look at him and he smiled. "I know for a fact that once you tell Duncan everything then you wouldn't have time to worry you would be so busy with my mom and aunts planning your wedding."

"Really?"

Matt laughed. "Yep you forget we are very old fashioned."

Jess laughed. "No kidding."

They sat and talk for over an hour. Jess telling them everything she knew and Matt and Robbie.

Just as they were helping her back on her horse they heard another. The three turned to see another horse riding up and it was Duncan he smiled as he neared.

"Not interrupting am I?"

Jess smiled. "No I was just talking with Robbie and Matt."

"About the dream?"

"Yeah about the dreams."

Robbie lifted her on the horse and smiled toward Duncan. "Ya got one hell of a woman Duncan. She is a strong one."

Duncan laughed. "I know."

When they got back Duncan took Jess to the side.

"What's going on."

"Nothing Duncan I just had to talk to Matt and Robbie."

"Jess?"

She sighed and kissed him." I was asking for advice and I promise you I'll tell you later."

"Alright." He pulled her to and kissed her deeply. "Come on there is a house we need to check on."

She laughed and followed him to his truck. He lifted her in and got behind the wheel.
