"Yeah. She was a lot of fun. But I have a feeling we’ll be seeing her again."

"I hope so." Geary turned around and took Arik’s hands into hers. It was so strange to have him here with her. To know so much about him and the other world but to not be able to share it with anyone, not even Tory or Thia.

But that was okay with Geary. She could definitely live with this secret.

Arik lifted her hand in his and kissed the back of her knuckles. "So when are you going to tell me your news?"

"And what news is that?"

He arched a brow at her and looked down meaningfully at her stomach.

Geary gaped as she caught his meaning. "How did you know about that?"

He gave her a wicked grin. "I still have a lot of my powers, baby. You know that."

She sighed heavily. "I wanted it to be a surprise." She pouted playfully until a thought occurred to her.

"Do you think the baby will inherit your powers?"

"I don’t know. Possibly."

Oh, that could be fun. She suddenly had images of Tabitha from Bewitched in her mind. Yeah. Just what she needed. A baby who held the powers of a god. But that didn’t really matter. She would love her child no matter what. "Lucy, we’ll have a lot of explaining to do."

"Yes, we will, but first, Ricky has to make an honest woman of his Lucy."

Warmth spread through her at his words. "I was wondering when you were going to get around to that."

"It’s a yes then?"

She gave him a droll stare. "No. I thought I’d walk through hell to reclaim you and carry your baby just for the heck of it. Who needs marriage?"

"I do."

She smiled. "Good. I can let you live another day."

Laughing, he pulled her into his arms and held her close. "Thank you, Geary."

"For what?"

"For giving me a life that is the best dream I’ve ever had."
