stared back at her.
"Daddy?" she asked, trying to hold back her tears without much success.
"I just wanted to see you and tell you how proud I am, and how much I love you. Blessed be, Munchkin." With that, Richard's visage faded away.
Kayla turned to see the three women crying. She looked at Joy, who nodded her head, silently saying she had seen him, too. Kayla dried her eyes carefully and headed out the door to the courtyard. As the bluebirds she had enchanted brought her bouquet and dropped flower petals on the guests waiting for her arrival, she smiled and stepped out into her new happily ever after.

" D avid !" Kayla screamed from her perch on the couch. After a second of no answer from him, she yelled again.
"David! Help me!"
"Yeah baby, I'm coming!" he shouted, making his way downstairs, running.
"What the hell is taking you so long?"
"I'm coming as fast as I can, my love,â David sang, entering the living room.
Kayla looked up at David from her seat with a look of shame, mixed with impatience and a hint of relief.
"What can I do for you?" David asked with a smile.
"I have to pee and I can't get up."
"Oh honey, that's because you're so big!"
"You are an asshole."
"No, you're eight months pregnant."
"You're still an asshole." This time, she was smiling and accepting the heave-ho he gave her from the couch. Kayla waddled her way down the hall, toward the bathroom. Eight months and big as a house , she thought.
"You need any more help?" David called out sarcastically.
"Maybe. I'll let you know."
As Kayla relieved her extremely abused bladder, she reflected on everything that had happened in the last year. After they were finally married, with Joy as her maid of honor and Doc as David's best man, they had stood together at the end of an extremely strange and dangerous journey.
Her dad, Goddess rest his soul , was dead. Her mother, may she burn in hell , was dead, too. Kayla had battled werewolves and vampires, had even turned into a werewolf herself. She had gotten a new family in the form of seven dwarf witches, one of which had sacrificed his life to save hers.
She couldn't help but think to herself that even after all of that, her happily ever after had finally come true. David was the love of her life, and now they were having a baby. They had not asked the doctor what the sex of the baby was, because they wanted it to be a surprise. Hundreds of strangers and friends alike had speculated on the sex based on the way that she was carrying the baby, or how many times she had to pee in a day, which was a lot! The proud parents had told everyone they did not want to know. Joy and Daisy had even hinted that they could find out magically, but Kayla put a nix on that idea, too. It was a fifty-fifty chance that this baby would be naturally magical, and she didn't want any kind of exposure until they found out for sure. The two dwarves had reluctantly agreed not to cast any spells of their own. Kayla even refused to use her own magic after finding out that she was pregnant.
It had been difficult, knowing she could ease her own discomfort with a flick of her wrist or levitate her own fat ass off the couch without David's help. She viewed using her magic during pregnancy in much the same way she viewed her former addictions. Willpower was necessary to just say no. She just wanted the best for her little boy or girl.
Getting up off the toilet proved less difficult than she had thought it was going to be. She was grateful that David hadn't needed to come in and help her. One thing she had learned was that pregnancy had a way of stripping you of some of your dignity. After the morning sickness had finally subsided in the third month and she no longer needed David to hold her hair while she puked up everything she ate, the cravings had started. Late night tacos, morning ice cream, and spicy Chinese food at all hours, David had made uncomplaining runs for each of these. In the sixth month, she gained thirty
