use my hands to touch my mate’s perfect length. I swallowed him down while he fisted my hair, my hands were behind my back. Now, you’ve used up your one insult allowed by brain dead fathers – that’s the last one.”
Shit. Dian quickly focused on his list again. Weight, expected size, expected date, number of offspring – ultrasound... He looked at the last item on his list – magic. It was in capital letters and underlined.
“Er… magic. Pixies have magic.” Dian blew his breath out slowly. “I heard what happened to Seth. Do you have… have you ever… is this your first pixie pregnancy?”
Doc straightened and reached for something that looked like a wand from the tray beside him. “This is my first experience with a true mated pixie pregnancy. However, as soon as you came in asking for pregnancy tests, I hit the books, and contacted a few discreet contacts of mine who have worked for the council before in a scientific capacity. They have spent a lifetime studying pixies and pixie dust. From what I understand, and I trust my sources completely, Kee should have no problems giving birth, regardless of what species type he gives birth too, although he will be having a c-section which is common for male pregnancies.
“I know this business with Seth was a horror story, but you have to remember,” Doc met Dian’s eyes straight on, “Seth’s issue came because his magic had been bound from his birth. He couldn’t use it. Anyone giving birth to a full fae child who didn’t have magic of their own was going to suffer from magical backlash. Kee has his magic…”
“And my mom had no problems giving birth to me,” Kee interrupted quickly. “Believe me, I would’ve heard about it if she had.”
“There is a difference because your parents aren’t true mates, so your father’s magic levels would have been very low before you were born which might have impacted birth. And you are half shifter. No one can say for sure what might happen in hybrid situations like that. But your magic came through loud and clear once you were claimed and that’s what’s important here.” Doc patted Kee’s arm. “Even if you give birth to a full pixie, there won’t be any magical backlash like there was with Annabelle. Now, are you ready to see what’s causing this lump?”
Dian looked at his unanswered questions and then across at his mate’s bright eyes and excited smile. He put the phone away and went over to take Kee’s hand.
Chapter Thirty
Kee was determined to focus on the positive. Having an ultrasound was a big deal – a chance for his human side to see what his pixie and fox spirits already knew. The baby/babies. Kee wanted to hug himself he was so excited. Not even Dian putting his foot in his mouth was enough to dull that.
Okay, Kee had also been slightly worried about the whole magical being giving birth situation and was glad Dian had asked about it. Seth’s story was enough to put some people off sex for life. But Seth had also explained, one night in the bar when things were quiet, that Ra had removed Seth’s temporary womb. He wouldn’t be having any more children, despite having access to his magic and Seth was happy with that. Kee remembered Seth saying, “If I had to decide between having Annabelle and having possible future children, I’d take Annabelle every time.” Kee could relate.
He poked the back of Dian’s hand. “Are you a little excited now?” he asked as Doc turned on a machine, and spread lube over the bottom of his bump. “We actually get to see what’s causing this bump.”
“I’m terrified.”
Dian spoke in a whisper, but Kee could hear him perfectly. Chances were, Doc could too, although he didn’t say anything. Kee decided to try and use their mind link – something they rarely used.
I’m sorry I didn’t understand how worried you were.
Dian twitched; their mind link was still so new to them. But then Kee heard, I want to be excited, I truly do, but I’m shit scared something will happen to you.
Kee thought for a moment and then sent back, Let’s enjoy this moment – the worry will still be there in an hour’s time.
“Are we ready?” Doc asked. He was waving his wand in his hand.
“Absolutely.” Kee squeezed Dian’s hand. “This is going to be epic.”

I admitted it. Dian felt as though a huge weight had shifted off his shoulders.
