questioning.
    “I’m glad you’re being honest with me, but this isn’t about anything you did. You handled the situation as well as you could have, but there’s something else going on.”
    “What’s going on?” Dom was starting to get worried.
    “You will bear his child.”
    The news hit Dominique like a mix of a splash of cold water and a bag full of bricks. She sat there in silence for several long moments before she could make herself respond. “Are you sure?” It was an inane question, but the only one that could be asked in that moment.
    “I’m positive. My spell told me that you would have his child. You have a choice to make. Will you carry it or not?”
    “I don’t know. I need some time to make a decision.” Dom just needed to get out of the room. She felt like she was suffocating and clutched her chest for a moment. “What do you think I should do?”
    “For one, be patient, precognition isn’t an exact science. I may be wrong about this, but I want you to know that no matter what happens, we’ll be here to take care of you. If you would like me to, I can talk to Gregor for you.” Anna’s offer was sincere and behind the matter of fact manner in which she was speaking, there was an undercurrent of concern. She seemed almost motherly.
    “I don’t know. Let me figure out what I’m going to do before we talk to him about it. He needs to focus on these talks and not worry about me.” Dom was sure about that. She knew that whatever she decided to do, she needed to figure out on her own, and if Gregor couldn’t concentrate on his duty, it could destroy the peace they were attempting to maintain.
    “That’s surprisingly sound reasoning coming from someone in such a difficult situation. I’m proud of you.” Anna nodded at her subordinate. “I’m going to have someone else take him off your hands. We need to reschedule the peace talks. I believe I have them ready to start talking again. If you are carrying his baby we can’t risk you being in the room. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you until you make a decision one way or the other. We’re going to give you a few days off so that you can decide unimpeded, just remember that you have our support, no matter what you do.” The words were true, honest and gave no indication as to what Anna wanted the younger woman to do. “For now I’m going to tell Gregor that it’s best to keep the two of you separated, until some of the attraction dies down. I’m going to schedule you to be the one to take him to the airport so that you can talk to him if you choose. I’m sure he’s going to insist on that anyway, but I’ll make him work for it.” Anna’s laugh reminded Dominique of the tinkling of little silver bells.

    Chapter9
     
    Dom rested in her home, pacing with a troubled heart. She knew that she would keep the child. It had always been in her nature to maintain life whenever possible, it was what brought her into her line of work to start with, but everything else was yet to be decided when she received another call from Anna.
    “We’ve established some basic compromises on both sides. There is a calm between the shifters for the time being.”
    Dom couldn’t help but smile a little. “That should make our jobs a little easier. How much longer will they be talking?”
    Anna’s voice grew serious. From the tone it was clear that Dominique wasn’t going to be happy with what she was about to say. “Gregor is heading back up north for a few weeks. He needs to handle some things in order to come back and finish the talks.”
    “When am I taking him to the airport? I’m going to assume that he requested me.” Dom was ready to face the responsibility, but she wasn’t sure if she was ready to answer the questions that might come out of this. She didn’t even know if she was ready to tell him about it. “I still don’t know what to tell him.”
    “He’ll be returning in a few weeks, in the meantime if you find yourself
