“No, Allie. I am pregnant,” Drina said solemnly, and assured her, “You saved my life.”

“Pregnant?” Allie asked with surprise, and then pulled free of the hand Magnus had on her arm to stop and hug the woman. “Congratulations. Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?”

“Not yet,” Drina said with a small smile as they pulled apart and continued to walk, heading for a set of double doors that were hanging half off their hinges. Allie could see a parking lot and the night sky through the opening.

“Allie, you are swaying on your feet. Are you all right?” Harper asked with concern as they neared the doors.

“I’m fine,” Allie assured him, but frowned as she realized she was swaying a bit. She was also leaning heavily on the hold Magnus had on her arm, and she realized that now that the panic was over, her adrenaline was waning and apparently taking her strength with it.

“I am going to run ahead and get the van,” Harper announced, starting to move a little more quickly. “Wait for me at the doors and I shall come and collect you.”

The moment they murmured their agreement, he burst into a run that quickly carried him out of the building and out of sight.

“Harper and I have always split our time between Toronto, Italy, and Port Henry,” Drina murmured as they paused at the open doors of the building and looked out. “But now that we’re going to have a child, we have decided to buy a house in Port Henry and spend most of our time here.”

“Oh, that’ll be great,” Allie said with a smile, leaning against the door frame to take her weight off of Magnus. “The baby will have kids to play with and you’ll have Elvi, Mabel, and Tricia.”

“Yes.” Drina smiled, and then asked, “What about you two? Abaddon is gone now. You could settle here too.”

“Oh.” Allie glanced uncertainly to Magnus. She wanted to say hell yeah, she was staying in Port Henry. She’d love that. Both for herself and Liam. But where she lived wasn’t just her decision anymore . . . a rather annoying realization for someone who had been independent for her entire adult life.

“Liam seems very happy here,” Magnus murmured, pressing a hand to his wound. “And I think it would be nice for him to grow up with friends.”

“Yes, but would you be happy here? What about your castle?” Allie asked with concern, and not just for where he wanted to live. Magnus was trying not to show that he was in pain, but she would guess he was suffering as much as she was, and she was suffering pretty badly now that the excitement was over. Enough that while she wasn’t looking forward to the pain of healing, she would take it to get to the after healing.
