Emma's hands shook as she stared at the pregnancy test.
Two pink lines.
"Kael!" she called out, her voice cracking with emotion.
He rushed into the bathroom, his face full of worry. "What's wrong?"
Emma held up the test, unable to speak.
Kael's eyes widened. Then his face broke into the biggest smile she'd ever seen. He swept her up in his arms, spinning her around the tiny bathroom.
"We're having a baby!" he whispered against her hair.
But as the excitement faded, fear crept in.
Emma pulled back to look at him. "What if... what if the baby has powers? What if I pass on something dangerous?"
Kael's smile faltered. "We'll figure it out."
"What if our child can destroy universes like I could? What if they hurt people?"
"Emma, breathe."
But she couldn't breathe. All she could think about was cosmic power flowing through a tiny baby. What if her child was born with the ability to travel through time? What if they could bring people back from the dead?
