《Blackmail》Surprises
Advertisement
I tape the box closed, sealing the two white balloons inside. Today is the day my dad and Delilah are going to hear about the twins.
"You made sure the balloons are gender neutral, correct?"
"Yes."
Lili squeals from her perch at the window.
"They're back!"
Delilah insisted on tagging along with my dad when he had to run to the court house.
'To get to know him', was her excuse. I just think she wanted to give Nate and I privacy.
Lili jumps into the arm chair as Nate helps me up. I place the box on the coffee table when they walk in.
"What's all this? A cardboard box? Three teens? Please tell me it isn't a puppy."
I smile at Delilah's words. My dad eyes up the box.
"Come sit down. There is something we need to tell you."
They sit down on the sofa showing two different expressions.
"I went to get an ultrasound earlier, as you all know, and I found something out that I would like to share."
I let Nate slice the fresh tape, opening the box. The two balloons escape, their strings taped to the bottom of the box and held down with tape.
'Baby 1'
'Baby 2'
"Twins!"
"Twins?"
I smile and place my hands on my stomach. Delilah spring up from the couch, rushing to give me a hug.
"Congratulations!!"
I do my best to hug her back. My father sits rigid, his fists clenched in his lap.
"What's wrong, Kaleb?"
"That little piece of crap..."
I appreciate the flowery language in front of Delilah. She would probably smack him upside the head if he used foul language in front of her!
"...raped my daughter and got her pregnant with not only one, but two kids."
"Dad, please calm down. I already know you beat him up."
Confusion covers his face.
"I didn't beat him up."
Oh. I just wrongly accused my father of beating someone up.
"Forget what I said."
"Okay. But congratulations. I can't wait until I hold those little ones."
The thought of my tough looking father holding two babies makes me laugh. Lili, knowing my personality, smiles and shakes her head.

The Stormcrow Cycle
Once a powerful and lauded witch, Ba'an salu-Ba'an now lives alone in a cave in the desert, waiting to die. When she rescues an outlander from certain death she becomes embroiled in a deadly game of politics and empire, of heart and soul, but worst of all--of hope and love and a chance at a peaceful future. Can a disgraced witch find a reason to live her life again--and if so, what price must she pay? The Stormcrow Cycle is a trilogy comprising of The Exile, The Lion, and Abomination. Tags or genres for each book: The Exile: romance, slice-of-life The Lion: romance, slice-of-life, politics Abomination: tragedy, high/epic fantasy (aka "Everything is on fire!") Updates once a week whenever I have time. Cross-posted on Wattpad and Scribble Hub. The CBMokedi cover will return! Excerpt: She looked down at him again. Young. Healthy, from what she could see, except for the wound that was killing him. He was handsome in a way that suggested a life of wealth and plenty. She did not think he had ever starved. Someone important. Her shadow fell across him, and he frowned. Blearily, he opened his eyes. They were amber and bright, even as he lay dying in the dirt. She could feel his soul, blazing inside of him like a fire refusing to die even as his body began to fail. He met her gaze, eyes widening in what she guessed was surprise—or shock. But he never looked away, staring up at her as though transfixed. Ba’an made her decision. She raised her hand and covered his eyes. In another moment, a murder of crows cawed as they took wing. The man and woman were gone from the road, leaving only the dead staring up into the sky. Note: This is a high-fantasy set in a low-magic world. The first book is largely character-driven and we really only hit the real plot in Book II, so if you're not fond of long epic yarns you ought to skip this one. I also don't include trigger warnings, but mind the "traumatizing content" tag--all societies minus one practice slavery and the world is indeed, rather grim!
