“We’ll see you both soon.” Eostre smiled softly, and both goddesses disappeared into the ether.
Pete grasped Destiny’s other hand, angling his body toward her. “How are you feeling?”
She gazed into his eyes and chewed the inside of her cheek as she allowed the emotions to wash through her. There were so many, she couldn’t begin to name them all. “Stunned. Relieved, I guess. Overwhelmed is probably the best word right now.”
“It’s a lot to take in.” He tucked her hair behind her ear. “How do you feel about us? About her?” He rested a hand on her stomach.
Her muscles contracted beneath his touch. “I feel a bit like Romeo and Juliet, minus the death by poison. Carrying a baby Easter Bunny and uniting two realms was not on my bingo card today.”
He chuckled, holding her gaze until she answered his question.
“I’m yours forever, Pete, and as for her…” She laid her hand on his. “I’m over the moon.”
“She’s definitely the icing on the cake.”
“What about you?” she asked. “How do you feel about everything?”
“I’m elated. I get to spend eternity with the woman I love and raise a child together.” He brushed his fingers across her cheek. “And I remember everything, who I am, where I came from. Right now, in this moment with you, I truly have it all.”
So did she, it seemed. “What made you remember?”
“You did.” He pressed his lips to her forehead. “When Helga took you, the only thing in the world that mattered to me was getting you back. My fae magic works when I need it, right?”
“I guess it does.”
“I needed to get to the fae realm—to you—more than I’d ever needed anything in my life. The second I hopped down the rabbit hole, it all came rushing back.”
“You’re you again,” she said.
He smiled. “I’m me, but I’m not the same guy I was before. I’m whole now, thanks to you.”
Warmth spread through her chest. Her angelic life might be over, but she’d choose Pete over centuries of miracle requests any chance she got. “For the first time in my existence, I feel whole too. Thanks to you.”
“We’re more than whole.” He rubbed her stomach. “We’re multiplying.”
“And it’s electrifying.” She laughed and rose to her feet, tugging him up with her. “Come on. We better go save Easter. No miracles required.”
“Not as long as I’ve got you.” He grinned and stomped his foot three times, opening a rabbit hole in the floor. “Let’s bounce.”
