Calming a Gorgon by Shelby Rhodes

Ender Imorus here, to share a startling development in my very dead love life. My portion of this backwards story begins when I feel an odd urge. I thought about ignoring it, but what those blasted Fates want, they usually get, so why bother? Don’t suppose I could’ve guessed it would lead me right to Cyrus Grimm and Killian Neftlem, two people I should stay far away from. Mainly as I’d prefer to remain free and at large, instead of charged and imprisoned.
But meet, we did, and some dramatic things happened, which ended with those two wonderful, authoritative, law-abiding cryptids donating into the bank of Ender. After which…tada, pregnant! An accident, yes, but it’s also my chance at a family again. And it is my chance, as they are mine! That Fate and Siren are acting like they want more, but I can see through it! Call me paranoid, but no one is taking my babies from me. I won’t let it happen, and I know they will try!
Does part of me want to drop my paranoia and let them in? Not really. I’m quite happy with my paranoia. I let it flourish, and it keeps me safe! But—and it’s a very small but—there’s a possibility that the two ain’t faking, and are my chance to start over. The question is, do I want it? Nah—paranoia all the way!
Okay…an itty-bitty part of my elderly butt wants all they’re offering, but what are the chances those two are being serious?!
