Male Pregnancy

Alexander’s POV

The healer said Cassidy was pregnant. Something that I’m still trying to understand.

“Cassidy is a man,” I told her.

“Irrelevant,” she replied.

“Of course, it’s relevant!” I burst out.

“Unlikely, yes. But not impossible,” she said.

“What do you mean ‘not impossible’?” I demanded.

“I mean that there are certain rituals one can perform if one wanted a male pregnancy for any reason at all.”

“Okay,” I said a little hysterically.

She waited.

“Okay,” I repeated. “Ignoring the part about Cassidy being pregnant. How would one go about this ritual?”

Healer Trish thought for a moment. “I’m not one to dabble in the sacrificial magic, but the concept tends to be quite similar throughout,” she said cautiously. “You should consult with a sorceress if you want to be certain.”

I nodded, anxious to know more.
