Drew?” she asked.
“Yes,” I said slowly, carrying the syllables longer than I needed to.
“If a witch and a warlock kiss, and they are each other’s true love, it makes an egg,” she said slowly.
“How would you even know if you’re each other’s true love?” I asked.
“When you kissed, did you feel a kind of pleasant shock go up and down your spine?” she asked, completely avoiding my question, but what was strange was that’s what happened.
“Yes,” I said slowly. She stared at me like I should have figured it out already.
“That’s how you know,” she whispered. I thought about this for a minute.
“Drew’s my true love-.”
“And you’re his.”


Chapter 9
My Egg

“Then where is my egg?” I asked frantically.
“Well, the egg doesn’t go into your stomach, obviously,” she said rolling her eyes.
“Then where does it GO?” I asked.
“It goes to whom you can really trust,” she said. I began to think.
“Katie? Mom?” I asked. Sama shook her head.
“It was someone you’ve never met before the kiss,” she said.
“Dad? Grandfather?” I asked again. Sama shook her head angrily this time.
“Can you really not guess? Whom would you trust besides your long lost sister?” she asked.
“It can’t be you. I barely even know you,” I said
“Well, the thing is, it hasn’t came yet,” she said.
“What do you mean?” I asked but she couldn’t answer my question because Katie bounded into the room.
“You can keep talking, I already heard the conversation,” said Katie.
“Well, what I mean is, is that the egg hasn’t came but I’ve seen it come. I know it’s going to come,” said Sama. I had another question that I was itching to ask.
“Wait, so whenever I kiss Drew, I’m going to get an egg?” I asked. I would have a lot of children or I’ll never get to kiss Drew, I thought.
“No, only the first kiss. The first time you kiss your true love,” said Sama.
“Oh okay,” I said relieved. I didn’t think that I would be able to take care of so many kids.
“Of course the first kiss with your true love is supposed to be on your wedding day,” said Sama.
“It is?” I asked warily. Katie looked at me and smiled.
“Don’t worry. You’re not breaking the law or anything,” said Katie. Sama nodded her head.
“You’re not,” she said.
“But, when do you think the egg is going to come?” I asked Sama. Sama frowned in thought.
“I would say soon, very soon,” she said. Right when Sama said those words a golden egg appeared on her bed. Sama frowned again.
“Sooner than I thought,” she said. I looked at the egg. My egg. I looked at Katie and she seemed upset about something.
“What is it?” I asked.
“It shouldn’t be gold,” said Katie.
“Why not?” I asked.
“None of the eggs have ever been gold,” she said.
“None?” I asked. Katie nodded.
“None,” she said. Sama just stared at the egg kind of like she was hypnotized while we were talking. When she finally decided to step into our conversation, I noticed that her eyes was a neon green, but for only a second.
“Maybe this egg is a special egg,” said Sama.
“Or it’s doomed,” said Katie. Now I was definitely worried. I tried to think positively and think about what Sama said but usually Katie was right. Of course, Sama might be right this time, since she had the gift of knowing. Katie smiled at me.
“But maybe I’m wrong,” she said to comfort me.
“And maybe your right,” I whispered. I suddenly loved this egg. It was the egg of Drew and I. Maybe it’ll be a girl and maybe it’ll be a boy. I felt protective over this egg. Only the people I trusted would be able to touch this egg. Only the people I love could touch this egg. I walked up to the egg and put my hand on it. The egg was pulsing with life. It was warm also, a little too warm.
“Do you think it has a fever?” I asked.
“No,” said Sama. I guess I’ll just have to trust Sama, I thought. I guess you will, said the voice of Drew. Of course, only I could hear him. I guess, I sighed in my thoughts.
“Why is it so warm?” I asked, my hand still on the egg.
“That’s how all eggs feel,” said Katie. She seemed to be lost in her memories.
“At least, that was how Drew felt too,” she said. Drew, I thought, a sharp pain went through my heart. When was he coming back? As if answering my thoughts, my grandfather came in with Drew. Well, with Drew’s body but I wasn’t quite sure if it was really he. My grandfather just stared at my egg and frowned. How could he frown at my egg?
“Here is Drew, at least, Drew that’s back to normal,” said Grandfather.
“Why does he look dazed?” asked Katie suspiciously.
“It’s going to take a while before he gets over the fact that he’s in his own skin again,” said Grandfather, “ He might not remember some things for a while.”
“Not remember?” I whispered. Grandfather looked at me apologetically.
“Would he remember me?” I asked quietly.
“No. Not for a while,” said Grandfather.
“But what about his love for me?” I asked, my voice turning shrill.
“Well, if I’m correct, you two are each other’s true love so he’ll remember eventually,” he said.
“How long is ‘eventually’?” I asked.
“’Bout 24 hours,” my Grandfather said casually. He looked at my egg and smiled up at me.
“I guess you’re going to be a mother,” said Grandfather.
“Isn’t it great?” asked Sama, beaming.
“We should throw a baby shower!” exclaimed Katie.
“Oh my gosh! We should!” exclaimed Sama. Suddenly Katie and Sama started to plan out the date and everything. They were talking really fast and they seemed very excited. I didn’t know why they were so excited. It wasn’t that important. A baby shower, I mean. The baby itself would be very important.
“Wait! When is the baby going to, um, hatch?” I asked. Sama and Katie suddenly frowned in thought.
“When did you kiss Drew?” asked Katie.
“I don’t know. Maybe a day ago?” I said. Sama and Katie looked at each other.
“Than we have no time. The baby will be born in 2 days exactly,” said Katie.
“2 days?” I asked.
“Around the same time as now,” said Katie looking at her watch.
“Well, when should we have the baby shower?” asked Sama.
“I guess, now,” said Katie. She quickly pulled out her cell phone and texted a lot of people. Two minutes later, the room was crowded. Sama moved her bed to the side. Everyone came up to hug me, one by one. After they said “congratulations”, they formed a circle around the golden egg and me. Drew stood in a corner, just staring at me. I smiled the best I could at everyone. Right now, I was super tired. Everyone handed his or her gifts to me but my mom got to me first.
“Open mine, first,” said my mother. I ripped the wrapping paper off and in the box was a dress. I stared at my mother.
“What if it’s a boy?” I asked.
“All you have to do is snap your fingers, but you can only do that once so I suggest not doing it now,” said my mother. I stared down at the dress.
“Oh, well, thank you,” I said. After I opened up all my presents, the guests started to leave. Besides, being here kind of gave them the creeps, since my grandfather was the lord of Darkness and such. Then I realized that Katie and Sama didn’t give me a gift.
“You didn’t-,” I started to say.
“Yeah, I know. Don’t worry. Do you want it now or later?” asked Katie, cutting me off.
“Now, I guess,” I said. Katie snapped her fingers and a beautiful crib appeared out of thin air.
“Wow,” I whispered. Katie smiled at me. The crib was a honey color and inside the crib was a pale yellow mattress. On one side of the pillow was blue and on the other side was pink. The whole crib looked hand made.
“Did you make this?” I asked, sliding my hand on it.
“I made the mattress and the pillow but Drew made the rest,” she said, proud of her son.
“When did he know?” I asked. Katie looked uncomfortable.
“He didn’t know that he was going to have a baby. You see, when he was 6 years old, he thought that I was pregnant so he made it,” said Katie.
“He made this when he was 6?” I asked surprised. Katie nodded, once again proud.
“Wow,” I whispered again. I was definitely wowed. I loved it. The crib had a homey touch to it. Drew was asleep in the corner. I looked at his perfect features. If I were to die, I would like to die in his arms, I thought. We were each other’s true love and the golden egg proved it. I fell asleep in my sister’s big feather bed.
When I woke up the next morning, I realized that I took my sister’s bed last night because she was sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag. I stretched and looked over next to me. Drew was sleeping by my side. I searched the room for my golden egg and found it in its beautiful crib. Drew started to groan. Then he woke up with a start. He turned to look at me and then he smiled. He smiled his flawless smile. I stared into his sapphire eyes and just melted.
“Good morning, Sam,” said Drew and he cupped my face like he was going to kiss me. When he said my name, Sama sat up with a start.
“Did somebody call me?” she asked staring at us. We froze in the about to kiss motion.
“Um, no, he was addressing to me,” I said, barely moving my lips.
“Oh,” said Sama and then she lay back down but not before she made a mock gagging motion. I glared at her. She smiled back at me and fell back asleep. My stomach rumbled. I tried to get out of bed, but for some reason I felt really weak. Katie and Drew were at my side at once, putting me back into the bed. Katie had a worried look on.
“When did you get up?” I asked her.
“I was listening in on your mind,” she said as if that answered my question but I didn’t push it any further.
“Why am I so weak?” I asked. Drew started to open his mouth but Katie answered first.
“Because having an egg makes you feel like your pregnant,” she said.
“Oh,” was all I said. Drew snapped his fingers and in his hands was a tray of food. Mmm, breakfast, I thought. He laid it in front of me.
“I get to eat in bed?” I asked. He smiled at me.
“Of course, princess,” said Drew bowing low. I playfully slapped him.
“Stop that,
