Isabell woke up, feeling strangely empty. She touched her stomach, as she always did after she found out she was pregnant. She felt, smooth, unblemished skin.

"Honey," Isabell said worriedly. "I--I can't feel the baby." She let out a half sob half disbelieving noise.

Her husband turned over to face her sleepily. Lucas Mai was her love of her life. "What baby?"

"The baby--you know!" she said, half hysterical. "The baby I was carrying for 8 months?"

"What?" Lucus looked more alert now. "Did you have a nightmare or something? I don't remember having a chance of having a baby."

"I sware--Lucus, you--you have to believe me."

"Say I do." Lucus said. "Tell me what happened. In exact detail."

"I was in a doctors office because I was feeling weird. This was after our vacation to Hawaii. He told me that I was a month along, and that I should be happy. I told you, and we bought a bunch of stuff for the baby."

"Bell," he said, kissing her on the forehead. "I guess I have to tell you."

"Tell me what?" Isabell looked worried now.

"Bell," he said, hugging her close to his chest.

"Hmm?"

"Bell, I'm a wizard. You could've possibly been in an illusion and I didn't realize it. I'm so sorry Bell." He said, his eyes filled with tears. "People are out to get me. I think they thought that they could get you, Bell. I won't ever let them touch you." He placed a gentle kiss upon her lips.

"I love you." both of them said.
