Chapter 296: Christmas Gift Dilemma, Part 2

"I don't know," Isach said after a moment. "If there is, you're talking about some really powerful magic, and that type of magic is hard to control. Too much could go wrong."

Tears burned the back of my throat. I licked my lips and nodded, not that he could see me. Of course, there was no way to have a baby with Trent. I was being silly for even allowing that thought to enter my mind.

"Right," I said, clearing my throat. "I was just curious."

Isach sighed. "I'll see what I can find out, okay?"

"Really?" I straightened, a spark of hope taking root in my chest. I stomped it down, knowing full well that I was asking for a miracle. And miracles didn't happen. Not for me, anyway.

"You'll owe me," he said with a trace of humor.

"I hope you're keeping track of who owes what to who, because I have no idea anymore." I laughed.
