“I figured go big or go home. I wish I had a picnic for us, but we can do it again.”
“Can you take me anywhere in the world?”
“Well yeah I could, but flying is frowned upon, because of fear of being seen. I figured this time the risk was worth it.”
“What good is being a dragon then?”
He laughed. “Well, that’s why I view it as a curse. There is no good reason for being a dragon, that I can see. Not currently.”
They remained on the peak and watched the sun set, wrapped in each other’s arms. Then Alistair stripped and handed her his clothes, once again. He turned himself into the dragon, scooped her up, and carried her back to the roof of the hospital. Where he got dressed again.
Mickey started babbling. “Oh my gosh, that was the most radical thing I had ever seen. What was it like to fly with him?”
“It was incredible, like a dream. We flew to Pike’s Peak and then we talked and watched the sun set, it was all so magical.”
“Mickey, I already told Sarai this. You can’t tell anyone what you saw today. Humans would hurt us and kill us.”
“I won’t tell a soul. So, are you two back together?”
“We have some things to think about, but yeah, I think we are.”
“Then you’re keeping the baby.”
“I’m keeping the baby.”
“Was there ever a question?” Alistair asked as he finished getting dressed again.
“She was determined to get an abortion, which is why I reached out to you. I figured you could stop her from making the biggest mistake of her life. I’m not sure how I feel about you being a dragon shifter person, but I’m glad I reached out to you.”
“I’m glad you did too. Take her home, make sure she gets plenty of rest, fluids, and food. I have to get back to the gym. I will call you later, so we can talk.”
“Yeah, I’d like that.” Sarai beamed.
“Then I’ll bring dinner and we can talk after I get off work. Is there anything else you need?”
“No.”
“Ok. Then I will see you later.” She let him kiss her. “I will never make you feel used again.” He got back in the elevator and left them on the roof.
“Your welcome,” Mickey said after a moment. “I told you it was a misunderstanding. You have got to learn to trust people.” She pushed the elevator button and they took it down. They drove back to the shop.
“I’m pregnant!”
“You’re pregnant.”
“I had sex with a freaking dragon shifter.”
Mickey laughed. “Do you think your baby will be a dragon shifter, too?”
“Alistair said we won’t know until he or she is older.”
“You know what else?”
“What?”
“When you marry Alistair, you’ll be rich.”
“Unless his parents cut him off for getting me pregnant.”
