The surprise of a lifetime (Part 2)

We just left Brennen's house and got our rings earlier than expected. Ciri picked a beautiful one for me, I cant stop staring at it on my finger. Now the last thing we have left to do is get the magic item fixed and try to get married. Once we are done in Novigrad we can find Avallac'h, when we meet up with him we can plan for the wild hunt. Ciri is not saying anything while I carry her, just humming and singing, she has a lovely voice to listen too. If I wasn't carrying her I would be falling asleep to the sound of her melodies. I wish I had such a talent, I cant remember the last time I tried something new that didn't involve combat.

I just walk slowly enjoying the nice day, it's late afternoon right now so we still have lots of daylight out. It warmed up after the sun shined for awhile, its the unique spring weather. Ice in the mornings and warm sunshine in the afternoon. Ciri rubs her left hand up my cheek and through my hair. "What was that for?" I ask her in a calm and loving voice. She doesn't usually do that without a reason. She gives me a content sigh as she just continues to run her fingers through my hair.

She kisses my cheek and after a few more she stops her hand in my hair and turns my head. She gives me a kiss that totally stops me in my tracks. She just moves her lips with mine and we enjoy the sudden show of affection for each other. She stops kissing me and leans her head back down on my shoulder as she continues to rub my head. "I just felt like doing that. Hope you don't have a problem with that." She says that to me in a voice that exudes confidence. In all truthfulness she doesn't need a reason. It was just a pleasant surprise to have at the moment.

I continue walking after I remember where I'm at. I feel like I got the girl that I was destined to be with. "I love surprises like that, if you feel like it again your free too." I say in a smooth and happy voice. She laughs at my response, I give a little chuckle as well. That was a pretty dimwitted response if I think about it.

After a few hours of walking we reach the tree line and we see a house with smoke coming out of the chimney. The talks and conversations we had on the way here were great to have. There is never a boring moment between the two of us. "I believe that is the house Ciri, you will have to tell me more about those unicorns you met." She was telling me an amazing story about her time in other places. She met a unicorn called Ihuarraquax in a desert. I can't wait to hear the end of that story.

She has been on my back all day, I think she was good to walk awhile ago. She just didn't want to get off of me. Nothing to really to complain about, I would carry her everywhere if she wanted. "If this is the place then we will find out something that will change our lives forever." She speaks the truth when she says that. We will find out if she is pregnant today, if she is then we will have to be extra careful when it comes to combat. "You can let me down now Cera....You've been carrying me all day....I feel selfish now...." I let her down and I look to her. She should know by now that I will do whatever she asks of me.

I give her a big toothy smile and she looks away as her face reddens a little. "It was easy Ciri, besides I was the one that put you in that state. I'm responsible for taking care of you after such a night we had." She blushes even harder as she turns to look at me. She remembers the night just as much as I do. It turned out that I was right about being given dominance, not like that is a bad thing. It was nice being on the bottom though, I can see why she likes it so much.

She locks her hand with mine as we approach the door to the house. My heart beats faster and faster the closer we get to our answer for a question that is incredibly important. I use my thumb to rub the top of Ciri's hand to help ease her, I can feel how nervous she is. "It's okay Ciri, whatever happens after this we will always be together. I will have your back and you will have mine." She smiles back and nods in confirmation.

We finally reach the door and we stop. My body doesn't want to move, but I force my hand up and knock on the door. We hear footsteps approach the door and an older lady answers the door. "Who are you?" Boy, she is quite standoffish. She must not get many visitors out here that don't have ill intentions. "Speak fast or I'll turn you both inside out." I shouldn't be surprised with her responses with the fact she is a sorceress. I am taken aback at the attitude and confidence this old lady has though.

I take a breath and choose my words carefully, she is the only one that Jaskier knows who can help us. "We heard that you can tell if someone is pregnant...We were hoping that you could help us." I say calmly and humbly, she looks at us and notices the rings we are wearing. She pinches the bridge of her nose and lets out a frustrated sigh.

She opens the door all the way and gestures for us to come in. "Take a seat over there, I'll get my tools." She points to a homemade couch, we make our way to it and take a seat. I look around the place and see all the magical items. There is some pretty cool stuff in here, I see some thing's I have never seen before and some I have. Ciri is also looking around as we wait, I notice a painting on the wall of her and her family. They look like a happy family from what I see, they are also wearing mage gear.

I see a face I haven't seen a very long time. I see a painting of Mar, he looks younger than I remember him being. This lady seems to be his mother....I wonder if she ever found out about Mar. If not I can tell her what happened. A parent deserves to know. I see her come back with a bunch of magical items I am unfamiliar with other than the blood extractor. "So, what are your names?" She asks me that out of nowhere. This is a woman who doesn't mess around. I look to Ciri and she gives a nod, we wont hide our identities from her. She doesn't seem the type to hurt us.

I look back at her and give her a nice smile. "I am Cera, and this is my fiancé Cirilla. Who are you if you don't mind me asking." I say hoping for an answer. She on the other hand gives me a look that says you don't need to know my name. This lady is very rude if I have to say, but I don't know why she is like this so I cant really say anything.

She looks to Ciri and holds out her hand. "I need a drop of your blood, give me your hand please. I need to ask you some questions while I work. You will answer truthfully if I am to get an accurate reading. I will know if you are telling the truth too." Ciri looks at her and reluctantly gives her hand to the lady. Ciri nods in confirmation and she immediately gets into the questions not wasting anytime. "Has he been your only partner in recent memory?" I can tell I am not going to like these questions.

Ciri gives a smug smile and answers her. "Cera is the only person I have ever been with." The lady looks into Ciri's eyes and then mine. She gives a nod in confirmation for herself, I know that I have been Ciri's only partner and I have only been with Ciri. She prepares another question and begins doing more work on a spell.

She asks Ciri a question while not looking at her. "How many times have you had unprotected sex with Cera?" I blush at that question myself, we were even more irresponsible in not having protection after the first time. If she wasn't pregnant before, than she is now.

I look over to Ciri and see how embarrassed she is right now. She looks very cute with such an expression. "We don't use protection...." That's the truth too, talk about not caring about consequences. The lady sighs in disappointment and looks to Ciri again. She nods again confirming the truth.

She starts mixing some ingredient's and says some enchants. She looks to Ciri again prepared for another question. "This is the last question, do you think your pregnant?" I don't know why I feel nervous when she asks that question. I look over to Ciri and she is just calm and confident when the lady asked that question.

Ciri takes a deep breath and looks right at where the womb is at. "I think I am pregnant..." I cant explain why I feel so happy when she says that, I just do. I squeeze her hand and smile at her. She reciprocates and we both look to the lady. She finishes her enchant and the room fills with light.

After the blinding light fades we see a floating white ball with two little lights in it. They are both green, maybe they represent us? I look to the lady as she inspects the light, she looks to us with a neutral expression. "Your pregnant Ciri, you should expect healthy children." I immediately grab Ciri and spin her around with a stupid smile. I didn't know how much I needed to hear that, I guess you don't know something until you have it.

Ciri is exuberant with the reaction I am giving. She laughs in joy as I spin her. "We are going to have a child Cera!! A CHILD!!" I feel a love that is indescribable when she says that, this is something I could only ever dream of happening. However the silent lady has more to say to us.

She clears her throat getting our attention, we look at her not expecting anymore information after we got what we needed. "You are having Children. Ciri has twins growing in her." I am at a loss for words....Two kids.....Two kids, that are ours, at the same time. I put Ciri down and look at the lady as if she is wrong. She sighs and points to the ball of light with two little green lights in it. "Those two lights represent the twins, I guess congratulations are in order aren't they." Oh....I look to Ciri and she has the same look she did when Yen would teach us math when we were younger.

Ciri just stares and stares at the lady, with that same funny and cute face. I am....I don't know how to describe it. This is the best moment of my life, after a few more seconds Ciri finally says something. "PARDON?!!" She isn't angry or mad, just really shocked. I don't say anything as I just look at her. She looks at the light in the room and rubs the part of the stomach they are growing in. I bring her in a hug and just stay like that. We soon start to come back from our states of shock and look back at the lady one more time.

She rubs her forehead in annoyance. We need to hear her say it one more time and she knows that. "You are having twins Ciri. You will give birth to 2 babies in nine or so months." She had a slight voice of happiness when she said that. Guess she isn't an ice queen is she. Ciri turns her head towards mine and wraps her hands around my head. She brings me down to give me the best kiss of my life, we didn't do anything special during the kiss. It was the feelings in the kiss that is something I will never forget in my life. This is officially the GREATEST DAY EVER!!!!
