Magic As A Whole

Chapter 16

"Dylan! Dylan, come on, buddy, breathe!" Jack says as Danny turns him to his side to try and press in a makeshift CPR like thing.

"Dylan. Dylan? Dylan, come on! Please!" I cry out, falling down next to Dylan's body, grabbing his hand, "Baby, please, don't do this to me." I whimper only for him to

"You're okay. Jesus! You scared the hell out of us, man." Jack says as we help him sit back up, my hand grabbing hold of my dry jacket and tugging it off, forgetting about the baby bump and moving to wipe his face.

"Are you all right, bro?" Merrit asks as Dylan coughs a bit more.

"Thank you" Dylan breathes out to Danny.

"This is the least I could do." Danny says as an apology for what he said.

"No. There's a hell of a lot less you could've done." Dylan says gasping as he tries to regulate his breathing.

"That was not an option. We would never leave you behind." I say harshly as I squeeze his hand my right hand moving to brush his cheek where it was bruising from a punch.

"You took a bullet for us, it was huge." Merrit says.

Jack holds up the card, "You really did, man."

"Thanks for pulling me out. Seriously." Dylan says thanking Danny again.

"Yeah."

"You got yourself out. We did the easy part. Literally, in my case, I was just standing on the shore while Atlas jumped down and got you. I'm serious." Lula says trying to spark up the moment, all of us laughing.

"Hey, you guys. Something's not right." Jack says having been inspecting the card.

"What's wrong?" Danny asks getting up as I helped try and dry Dylan off a bit more.

"Can't have you getting sick." I murmur as he moves to place his hands on my waist.

"What's wrong with it though?" I turn a bit listening.

"It's fake," Jack says having pulled off a layer of the card.

"We better get Dylan back, he's freezing," I say helping him stand up. When I did so his hand moved and I gasped a little when it went over my stomach and froze.

"Harmony?" he whispers eyes wide.

"Oh uh..surprise?" I squeak out, "Everything got so crazy I couldn't tell you, then we got separated and oh." I started talking only for Dylan's lips to be pressed on mine in a passionate kiss, my hands moving to tangle in his hair and I think I faintly heard a wolf whistle from Lula.

Once we were free from the kiss I smiled, "I love you, and I'm so glad you're okay, because I need you more than ever, but we'll have to figure that out later."

"Not that I don't appreciate you two having a cute moment, but we really need to get going to figure out what we're gonna do about this fake card." Lula calls out, "Plus we've got a ride all ready to go!"

When we had gotten back to the shop I was curled next to Dylan on a sofa set my feet curled into my body and my head resting on his shoulder. Everyone was discussing everything while Dylan's left rested around me and his right hand was protectively on my stomach, the reality hadn't set in completely on the situation or that I was pregnant.

"What? No, I had the stick. The actual stick. I swear, it was in my hand, in the lab, and then I put it in the little case thing. - And I gave it to Atlas." Lula explains moving her hands as she talked
