answering her, Kylin turned to Faolan. “Come here please,” he told him.
He slowly stood up, his eyes never leaving Isabelle's nude form. He walked quietly toward them, only at the last moment taking his eyes from his wife and pinning them on Kylin . “Yes?” he gruffly asked him.
Ignoring the younger man's attitude, Kylin said, “I want you to place your hand just above her stomach and focus on the life growing inside of her. I should have shown you two how to do this before but I thought the nature of your relationship meant that you two didn’t feel much affection for each other. Seeing you here together tonight, I know that I was wrong. Go ahead now, try it.”
Faolan raised an eyebrow skeptically but nodded anyway. He slowly put his hand over Isabelle's lower stomach, concentrating on the small mound there. Suddenly her stomach began to glow with a bright white light, startling Faolan and causing him to yank his hand away.
“What was that? Isabelle, did you see that?” he asked her with wide eyes.
Isabelle nodded, her chin trembling as she struggled to keep her tears from falling.
“It was our baby,” he whispered the obvious, happy to say it aloud. Faolan forced himself to swallow the lump in his throat and turned back to Kylin . “Thank you. Is it alright?”
“He’s fine.”
Isabelle's eyes turned to his wrinkled ones. “He?” she asked cautiously.
“We’re having a boy?” Faolan asked.
“You are having a son.”
Faolan smiled widely, his dark eyes glowing as his eyes again dropped to her stomach. “A son…” he whispered, the awe thick in his voice.
