I nod. “I know it’s soon. It surprised me too. You’re not upset, are you?”
“Upset?” He laughs, his delight suddenly evident. “I’ve never been happier. You’re certain? I’m going to be a father?”
I grin at him, the nerves evaporating. “Pretty sure. I have a doctor’s appointment in three weeks to confirm. But all the physical signs are there, and it’s pretty hard to get a false positive on one of these.” I shake the stick I’m still holding.
“I cannot believe it,” he says. “It is so hard for trolls to reproduce, and to do it with a human…I had hoped this might happen for us one day, but I never thought it would be so soon or so easy. Maybe we can have a dozen children! I’ll teach youKesh Merkajand we can sing it to all of them!”
I laugh at his exuberance. “Slow down, cowboy. We have no idea how easy this will be or what kinds of complications we might face, especially with a hybrid baby. And even if all goes well, there’s no way I’m having twelve babies. Three, tops.”
His grin is luminous, making his silvery eyes shine. “I am certain this child will be healthy and happy. I can feel it, deep within me.” He wraps his arms around me, hugging me hard.
“If I haven’t told you lately, Oaklyn, I love you. With all that I am and all that I will ever be. I will spend my whole life making you and our children happy.”
That melty feeling he gives me oozes through me. No matter how many times he tells me, I can’t quite get over being loved by this man. This creature, this troll. My husband. My soulmate.
“I love you, too, Bradoc. I always will. No matter what happens, we’ll face life side by side.”
“Of course we will, my wife. We were meant to be.”
That we were. It was a strange set of circumstances that brought us to this place, but now that we’re here, I can’t imagine my life being anything else. As it turns out, this is what I always wanted. And somehow, miraculously, I got it.
THE END

About the Author
Greetings! I’m Vivienne, and I write all things magical and mysterious, from fairy tales to alien romance to futuristic whodunits.
I’ve been writing fantastic tales since I could hold a pencil. Captivated by fanciful stories from a young age, I gradually began to create my own worlds filled with fantastic creatures and monstrous beasts. Now a USA Today bestselling author, I'm still sending my characters on as many wild journeys and dark adventures as I can.
In addition to spinning a good story, my loves include chocolate, reading good books, traveling, and taking as many bubble baths as possible. When I’m not writing, you can find me roaming around the southern U.S. with my husband and two very fluffy cats. I’m the redhead in pajamas.
