something, so she used her mind to do a telepathic check of the nearby area.
She felt it, a small glimmer of another mind and then it vanished before she could try and read it. Ginger tried again and the mind was gone, but she knew for sure it was an indigo. Why was an indigo targeting her?
The rest if the way home, Ginger was on high alert. Something was definitely up and she just couldn’t put her finger on what it was.
Taking a moment before she walked back to the hotel; Ginger kept expecting someone or something to attack her. Her mom instincts were on high alert as well her flight settings if something happened. Not a lot of people could avoid a mind probing and yet somehow this indigo did it and barely got detected.
That is what worried Ginger the most. Over the years, she developed a system to deal with threats. Something about this time was different. It was like the rules were changed and no one told her.
Things were going so well that is had to be too good to be true. Tomorrow she’d tell Mark and Penny, see what they could uncover. With Mark’s connections and Penny’s magic, whoever had decided to target her will soon regret it. From here on out, Ginger had to protect her fetus and that meant at all cost.
Trying to go to bed with the worry someone had followed her home. She knew that was irrational and this anxiety was always there, but somewhere in the back of her head. All the damn hormones from baby made her mind feel cluttered and chaotic.
The fact that Lucas was acting normal didn’t help. He didn’t stay up to see she got home safely. Sure he had work early and Ginger got home at a quarter after midnight. Finally after anxiously tossing and turning for twenty minutes, Ginger crashed hard.
Chapter 8:
Waking groggily the next morning was the worse. It was like she got no sleep at all. Seven thirty arrived a little too quickly for her. Ginger sat up and saw a gift on Lucas’ side of the bed.
The tiny red jewelry box was wrapped in a bow. Ginger picked it up and slipped off the bow. Placing the lid to the side, she saw a pair of silver caret earrings with small green emeralds. It was the most amazing thing she saw, oh wait.
What is this for? Had Lucas finally realized that she told him she was carrying their child, or had she forgotten some anniversary? Shit! This was not good. She needed to calm down. There was no way all this pressure probably wasn’t good for the baby.
Before she could think a moment longer, Lucas came in carrying a tray of fresh fruit, tea and a hot stake of French toast. Man she loved him, her fiancée. Sure he had proposed and she accepted, but Lucas had yet to buy her an engagement ring.
The jewelry she got this morning more then made up for that and besides she had the man. To hell with the jewelry, but these earrings were divine. They ate together and he informed her, the anniversary of when they first met five years ago.
Holy crap, it had been that long and she totally forgot. All that mattered that she loved him. Ginger met this great guy and she couldn’t be happier.
Okay, bite the bullet and tell him again. Ginger smiled, rubbed her arm and states, “Sweetie, do you remember what I told you yesterday?”
She watched and he smiles. He states, “You are having our baby. I heard you, I just needed time process. The jewelry I had already.” He went to the closet and pulled out a package.
Lucas lays it on the bed beside Ginger. She looked at him, smiled and jumped at him for a hug. This allowed Ginger to finally celebrate as she pulled back to drink her tea. He pulled out a file of OBGYM doctors and had already schedule her appointment.
As much as Ginger appreciated that; she didn’t like the fact he was being controlling and trying to dictate which doctor she saw. It was sweet in which case, she tried to calm down and be thankful Lucas was so willing to be
