With a little help of her natural magic the ground was ready for her to start planting seeds. She had already decided that half of her garden would contain wildflowers, that would attract birds and butterflies and the other half would be for vegetables. Most witches couldn’t practice during pregnancies but earth witches were still able to attend to their gardens and help things grow. Earth witches always had big healthy babies due to their natural abilities. In no time at all they would be enjoying their own tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, anything they wanted really. Liv could make anything grow at any time of year. She hoped Alec was as happy as she was with her efforts. The thought of cooking a meal for her man made with the vegetables she had grown warmed her for some reason. She thought of how it would be to teach her own child how to tend the garden, as her own mother had done with her. Now that she knew she was pregnant she had opened her mind and could sense her baby, despite only being a couple of days old. She thought of how Alec would dote on and protect them both. She rubbed her stomach, imagining the life within and marvelling at how much happiness Alec had brought her within the space of a few days. She darted up as she heard a twig snap. Turning round she saw her aunt Emerald approaching and her heart sank. If anyone was going to ruin her ‘finding out I’m pregnant’ glow it would be Emerald.
