Chapter 118:
Alley POV:
As we approached my mother turned around with a wide smile on her face. "There are my girls! How are you guys?" My mother asked, walking towards us. "We are good Luna, how are you?" Ambrosia said, bowing her head. "Oh nonsense call me momma, you both are my bonus daughters now!" My mother said beaming at Ambrosia. "Momma, what are the balloons about? You have sent them to all of us." I asked, tilting my head to the side. "You all will find out soon enough!" She said giggling. "Momma, just tell us. Is it because we won the battle? Or are we keeping the peace? What is it?" I asked. "Can't say. Athea will be arriving soon so scurry back to the house." My mother said turning us all around. Something is definitely up. "Do you need any help at least?" Pythia asked. "Oh no dear I don't need any help we have got it covered now go, shoo." My mother said waving her arms like she was shooing a fly. I frowned, what is going on with her? People don't just send balloons but then again this is my mother and goddess only knows what she has planned and now that I think about it she has always liked celebrating with balloons. I just a gentle presence brush by me like a soft blowing of the wind. "Let's get back inside, I do believe Athea has arrived." I said straightening my back. We rushed around the house to see Athea and the other women standing on the front porch. "Ah my great white witch, how are you?" Athea asked, smiling down at me. "I am well Athea how are you?" I said smiling back,
"I am better than you know, I have called all your mates, come we need to discuss something." Athea said as she turned and walked inside. Okay why do I feel a tad bit nervous but very calm at the same time? We all looked at each other before our mates came running up the lawn. "Hey princess is everything okay?" Stephen asked, wrapping me in a hug. "I think so, I don't think there is any bad news but let's go and see shall we?" I said as we walked up the stairs. When we got inside Athea was standing next to Ember and Danny. When did they get in here? Danny looked like he was going to explode in happiness at any given moment. "Don't look so nervous, I don't have any bad news." Athea said, smiling at us. Well that is a relief. "Can I tell them? Please! Can I?" Danny said, smiling from ear to ear. "In a moment my seer, I wanted to tell you all that your ceremony will be at the end of next week, after you will all be the official council. I am pleased to see Pythia and Ambrosia are adjusting well to my pairing." Athea said, smiling wider at the newly found couples. "Now to healing the rogues, you and Davina will heal their souls and Danny and Ember will keep them on the right path, it won't take much of your energy as I will assist because something has come up and you can't use much of your energy.." Athea said, staring at me. Why do I feel under a microscope right now?
All eyes fell on me like I was a new science project, I could feel my face heat up a little bit, what is going on? Athea looked down at Danny who looked like he was going to explode off the ground. "You may tell them now." Athea said, patting his head. "I'm going to be a brother! And I'm going to have new cousins!" Danny shouted as he jumped up and down. A brother? New cousins? What is he talking about? No one seemed to understand until it started clicking with me.. the balloons, why we aren't allowed to help around. Oh shit. No way. No freaking way. "I'm sorry.. Can someone explain?" Emma asked. I couldn't find my own voice to answer her, how? Did we forget to use protection? "Congratulations are in order for all of you." Athea said, looking around to all of us. "For what?" Chloe asked. "You all have babies!!" Danny shouted. Oh fuck. "No way.." I heard Ambrosia say. I turned to look at Stephen whose eyes were wide as saucers. "I'm going to be a dad again?" Stephen said. "I promise this has nothing to do with me, but somehow you are all with a child at the same time. All of you in this room." Athea said. Holy shit! Are all of us pregnant?! After a few seconds all of our mates were howling and celebrating, I stood in shock before I felt a smile creep across my face. I am pregnant, all of us are. Well this is shocking and exciting at the same time.
