Chapter 0215
I
“Wait, what?” I gasp, shocked.
“Oh yeah,” my mom says, her own eyes going far-off as she apparently
remembers this long -lost, incredibly important and interesting detail. “I forgot
about that...”
“You knew!?” I'm scandalized — mom and dad, they're so perfect for each other.
The idea of dad being mated to someone else...
God, I can’t even imagine it.
“Of course I knew, baby,” mom says, leaning closer and tucking a strand of my
bloody hair behind my ear as Cora stands up and begins to fuss with the IV,
apparently remembering suddenly that I'm coming off the edge of death and
need some fluids. “Dad and I don't keep secrets. Plus, I knew her.”
“Real piece of work,” Cora murmurs, shaking her head as she reaches for my
arm.
“What!?” It's all I can say in my shock as Cora hooks me up to the IV, helping me
get on the mend in her own non-magical way.
“It wasn't at the same time, like you and your boys,” mom says, turning her head
consideringly. “He rejected her and then was single for a long time before he met
me. Which, I mean, thank god I don’t think I'd have been able to handle that. I'd
have been so jealous, and she'd probably have tried to kill me. I mean, more
than she eventually did.”
My face screws up in shock and confusion as I stare at my mother, but she just
waves a hand, dismissing it.
“Speaking of the jealousy,” Cora says, sitting down next to me and taking my
wrist so she can check my pulse. “How are your boys handling it?”
“Um,” I say, looking between them. “They...aren’t. Because they don't...know
about each other.”
Mom and Cora’s faces are twin pictures of shock and then delight before they
burst into scandalized laughter.
“You little minx,” mom says, leaning forward to prod me with the tips of her
fingers. “How the hell did you manage that!?”
“I didn’t manage it,” I murmur, not really liking the implication here that I'm doing it
nefariously and for my own good. “It was...I didn’t want anyone to find out, at
first, that I
was a girl. And then I...it took a while to get to know them, and to decide I could
trust them.”
“Wise,” Cora says, nodding as she slips a stethoscope out of her pocket and
slips it around her neck. “And Rafe and Jesse?”
“Um,” I say, because...well, this one is a little more nefarious, I guess. “Rafe
knows about
“I Jackson. Jesse knows about Luca.” My mom and my aunt grin at me again, but
I just shrug and sigh.
“Well, how are you feeling about it, baby?” my mom asks, leaning forward and
taking my hand. “It must be a lot, in addition to your studies.”
“Itis a lot,” I say, my shoulders slumping in relief to hear her voice it aloud, to
have her understand. “It's scary! And they're both so great, but...” I bite my lip
and shake my head, looking down at my lap, “it’s really confusing.”
Mom begins to murmur comforting things about how of course it's confusing — it's
bound to be but suddenly the door flies open again.
This time, broad shoulders fill the frame and I blink because...
Well, for a second, as embarrassing as it is, I did think it was Jackson.
But my eyes fill with tears the moment that I realize that it's my dad.
“Dad!” I croak, suddenly completely overwhelmed with emotion as I try to pull
myself up, to move to him, to get immediately to his side.
Because I mean,

my mom — endlessly, in every atom of me. But my dad....

He takes a shuddering breath before raising his head, looking into my face. “Are
you okay, sweetheart?”
I nod, sniffing. “Just a little overwhelmed, pops,” I murmur, which earns me a
smile. “Mom fixed me up good. I'm fine.”
