The Tiger's Mail Order Mate (Paranormal Shifter Romance)
Page 17
“I hope so,” Sonja said in a quavering voice. She was scared. A splicer shouldn’t be able to conceive with a human. There were built-in fail safes, but she wasn’t an ordinary human either.
“The Dragon has a doctor in Tenerife,” The Mouth said. “We will arrange for you to be seen by her. She will offer all prenatal care and deliver your baby. Once that baby is born, it will be the one that we can’t trace. A divergent. Usually, we kill them off right away, but in this case we want to study it. We won’t stand in your way of parenting. Just observe the child as it grows and the impact it has on our models, nothing more,” she explained.
Sonja swallowed hard. “All right,” she said as she sat down in the luxurious leather seat. She did up her seatbelt as the plane began to taxi to the runway. “Onwards and upwards to our new life,” she said as she felt the plane surge underneath her upon taking off.
EPILOGUE
A little boy with dark, cherry-red hair and swarthy skin ran down the golden sandy beach. His dark skin was decorated with faint stripes, and his intelligent amber eyes searched the warm sand for treasures. The boy squealed as he picked up a white sand dollar from the ground and ran up to the tall, red-headed woman and Indian man that were nearby.
“Mamma, Daddy, I found a dollar!” he said with the enthusiasm of a three-year-old boy.
“That’s wonderful, Jacob!” Sonja replied as she scooped him up into a warm hug. The boy’s yellow swim trunks were covered in sand from various falls and stumbles that toddlers experience.
In the distance, Sonja noticed a tall man observing the small family. She gave Jacob a protective squeeze as she put him down on the beach. “You can use it to decorate a sand castle,” she encouraged the little boy. “Go show Mommy how big of a sand castle you can make, okay?”
The little boy’s grin grew broader as he turned and sped down the beach, falling down a couple of times as he made his way towards the warm water of the tropical Atlantic Ocean.
“That man is watching us,” Sonja said to Russell.
“I know,” he said. “We knew that we’d be watched, or at least Jacob.”
“It’s funny. Other than the stripes, he’s turned out completely normal,” Sonja said.
“Don’t count on it. Remember, we start to be able to change at puberty. We won’t know until then,” Russell said as he took a drink of water.
“True,” Sonja replied as she protectively watched her son build a rather tall sand castle. “Anyway, I’m glad I’m here with you, and I’m glad we had him.”
She recalled her labour, three years ago that day, and it was the most excruciating experience she had in her life. The doctor the Dragon provided would not give her any kind of pain medication and she delivered at home. The Doctor explained that if the baby was born still or severely deformed, she’d need her wits about her to get to the airport quickly, because the local authorities wouldn’t be too understanding.
The tall man walked up to Jacob and crouched down next to him. Russell placed a restraining hand on Sonja’s shoulder to keep her from attacking the stranger. The man motioned in the direction of some nearby bushes, and a little Korean boy emerged.
Sonja arched an eyebrow and cocked her head quizzically as the young boy confidently approached Jacob and sat down next to him to help build the sand castle.
“The Dragon rarely comes out to play,” a familiar voice said from behind the couple. “We felt it safe for him to play with your child, despite him being a divergent. It might give us a more... intimate look at his values for our models and we can adjust accordingly.”
Sonja nodded. “Just wondering, will we have another?”
“Another child?” the Mouth of the Dragon asked. “No. Jacob will be the only child you will ever have.”
Sonja nodded. “At least he’s happy,” she said.
The two boys abandoned their sand castle endeavors and began to chase each other around the water line, splashing warm water at each other and squealing. The big body guard stood by stoically as the two boys played water tag around him, soaking his black pants with warm sea water while seagulls whirled and dove overhead in the azure sky above.
