to teach me that little trick.”
    “I tried. Once. Never again.” Talree put me on a raised platform of white stone.
    “But—”
    Talree rudely cut me off. “If I hadn’t taken control of your mind, you would have materialized inside a wall.”
    “With a little more practice, I know I could do it.”
    “No. Stay put. I’ll be back.” He vanished.
    I hated when he did the “me Warlord, you Jane” shit.
    The desperate howling of the winds created a mournful melody. Oh yay. The typhoon seemed to be growing in strength.
    “Me no like it here!” Haki wailed.
    “Me either.”
    “We leave now?”
    “No, we can’t leave until the battle fleet gets here.”
    Talree reappeared, loaded down with a survival kit, a med unit, and weapons. He handed me the laser pistol and placed the rifle within easy reach. Opening the survival kit, Talree pulled out an inflatable mattress and quickly inflated it. Once it was covered with a survival blanket, he sat me on it.
    “I need to retrieve Soulet.” Talree teleported out.
    “Wait! You forgot my boots.” With my crappy luck, I’d be running around this rocky island barefoot, trying to escape the Tai-Kok. I sagged back against the mattress. I so needed my powers back.
    Ten minutes passed. Where were Talree and Soulet? I wanted some damned help delivering Thor. My muscles slowly twisted harder and harder until it became difficult to breathe. Shit! This was not good.
    Thor kicked restlessly. “Where Daddy?”
    “Good question.” Huffing and puffing, I managed to get off the mattress and staggered over to the entrance.
    Hurricane-strength winds battered me as I stepped out of the cavern.
    “Wind bad,” Haki said anxiously.
    I tucked him under the neck of my tunic. “I won’t let anything hurt you, sweetie. Promise.”
    To the east, sheets of flames set the thick purple clouds aglow. Fear skittered up my spine. That wasn’t lightning. It was laser-cannon fire. If the Tai-Kok hurt a hair on Talree’s head, I’d kill every one of those fuckers.
    Thor’s little hand anxiously patted my uterus. “Monsters here?”
    “Not yet.” But they were too damn close.
    Haki peeked out of my shirt. “Monsters where?”
    I stroked his head. “It’s okay. Uncle Talree will take care of them.” I hoped.
    “Me coming out,” Thor stated.
    A burning pressure suddenly built in my vagina. “Yes, you certainly are.”
    Haki asked, “We play now?”
    “No! Not quite yet.” Sucking in a deep, calming breath, I went back inside. Guess I was doing this alone.
    Haki scampered up to my shoulder. “Why you walk funny?”
    “’Cause I’ve got a giant bowling ball stuck between my legs.”
    Zipping under my tunic, Haki asked, “Where ball?”
    I rubbed my aching forehead. Could this day get any worse? Wait! I really didn’t want to know. The burning sensation grew stronger. Climbing back up on the air mattress, I grabbed the med unit and turned it on. Oh yay. My mucous plug was gone, and I had dilated to five centimeters.
    When I was a teenager, Mom told me I had great hips for childbirth. Which was the last thing I wanted to hear. So I told her kids were not on my to-do list. The only thing I wanted back then was to become a cop.
    Mom just rolled her eyes and said I should count my blessings that I had inherited Grandma Helen’s hips and not hers. She had been in labor with me for forty-three hours. My grandmother had popped out my father in four. I could only hope I would be so lucky.
    “Man, do I miss being a cop. Life was so much simpler.”
    Haki settled on my belly. “What cop?”
    I frowned. Haki could understand me when I spoke English too?
    “What cop?”
    “A cop enforces the laws and arrests people who break them.”
    “Warlords enforce laws too?”
    I laughed. “No, Warlords break laws and take things that don’t belong to them.”
    Haki squeaked in surprise. “ You arrest Talree?”
    “Uh, no. I wanted to, but he wasn’t in my jurisdiction.”
    “What that
