“Sorry.” I smile. “I couldn’t resist. Care to join me?”
I stop the swing as he comes towards me with a grin on his handsome face. He sits beside me, and together we push off. He puts his arm around me and pulls me close as he rests his other hand on my belly.
“Good Lord! Why am I so fat?!”
He chuckled. “You’re not fat... you’re pregnant.”
Chapter 10

C ASSIDY RIPS MY HANDS from her face and looks at me. “What kind of trick is this?!”
“It’s not a trick Cassi.” I shake my head. “It’s the future, our future. If you want it.”
“It’s a lie!” Tears begin to stream down her face, and I want so badly to reach out and pull her into my arms. But I don’t. Instead, I stand there as she shoves me.
She jabs her finger into her chest, and wails. “I can’t have kids! I’m barren. We tried everything to get pregnant even invitro.”
“You’re not barren...” I clench my jaw shut. Not knowing if I should tell her the truth of how I prevented her from getting pregnant, or if I should lie and tell her that her ex was shooting blanks.
She started backing away. A look of horrid realization settled on her face as she pointed a shaky finger at me. “You... you stopped it didn’t you?”
“Cassidy. Put your hand down.” I order. She doesn’t and I see a small puff of frost exit from under her fingernail. I put my hand up, knowing that if she doesn’t lower hers, the next strike will send me to my knees. “Look, I did it because I knew that if you couldn’t do what the prophecy says, that your child wouldn’t suffer for what’s to come.”
“You had no right!” She stumbles over a root and falls to the ground. Her elbow hits hard, which I’m concerned about but I’m more concerned about the fact that a bolt of ice hits a tree limb over her head, slicing it in half.
I rush to her side, taking the brunt of the fallen limb. “Are you alright? Did you break a bone?”
She smacks my hands away. “I’m fine. What the fuck just came out of my finger?”
“Ice...” I take a step back, giving her the distance she needs and wanting to stay clear of her finger. “When you’re upset, you have the power to shoot icicles.”
“What else can I do?” she asked, pulling herself up off the ground.
