Albie had thought pregnancy was an impossibility. Not something he'd ever experience while sleeping with a dhampyre--a turned human male. Yet Albie's new found friendship with the porcelain in the bathroom couldn't be denied. But how could a millennium of history be wrong? Except realitt suggested otherwise. And then there was the matter which they'd both chosen to ignore. Dominic had looked forward to his brief respite from his undercover mission. Looked forward to resolving an issue that he and Albie had danced around for months. They both new it, but neither had wanted to admit their relationship wasn't casual because the Fates had chosen them for each other. Except this had to be a joke. Did Albie honestly believe that he could stand their with his swollen belly and claim the child was Dominic's? But sometimes there was a hidden truth lying beneath the fairy tales read to children.
