Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 496: Twins!
If the humans had been shocked to learn that Shanna was pregnant then the Saxon spirit was shocked to see a baby thought escaping from the spell, she had just used on Phoebe to hide any thoughts about her own pregnancy.
"What the hell!" She exclaimed from where she was in the space. "Who is missing with my spells?"
Meanwhile, old lady Mayfair was the only human that had seen the thought, and she was not just surprised but excited too. Grandma Mayfair's lungs betrayed her with violent hiccups that were loud enough to startle a rat stealing cheese into abandoning its mission.
"Nana are you alright?" Phoebe asked, she pulled her brows closely together.
Grandma Mayfair drunk some water which Maria offered quickly, and it was followed by a sip of her heart calming tonic before she answered. "I am fine dear, more than fine now that I know Shanna could be carrying twins." She blurted out unintentionally.
Everyone that was on their way to the living room paused and turned back. Shanna almost lost her footing, and she would have fallen were it not for Collin that was supporting her.
"Twins!" Shanna's brows shot up as if they were about to launch off to the ceiling. "What...why would you think that grandma?" She asked. Something inside of her bubbled, excitement danced within her heart, momentarily forgetting the trouble that she was in.
Giving Shanna's words a little wave Grandma Mayfair smiled at her. "Just call it an old woman's intuition." Her smile grew wider as she got to her feet. "I will go and talk some sense into your mother, this is a blessing something that should be celebrated. All of you young ones stay back and let the adults do all the talking." She hummed as she strolled away.
After all the elders were gone, the tension in the room evaporated with them. Everyone sat down again and those who were already sitting made themselves comfortable.
Shanna let out a sigh of relief because her fire breathing dragon like mother was gone. Gently, she patted her chest, sipping on what remained of Collin's black tea before nearly spitting it out as it was bitter.
As she put the cup back down, her accusing eyes found the perpetrator of the crime, Collin. "You did this to me."
"I am so sorry." Collin apologized while his siblings laughed.
"Mother is on a warpath. I was scared that she would tell father and grandfather but luckily she just dragged me out of the house or else I would be dead by now." Her puffy eyes stared at Collin.
"Why did you not tell me? Since when did you know? How far along are you?" Collin rubbed her cheek as he fired off one question after the other.
"I found out two weeks ago but thought there was no harm in waiting to tell you until after our wedding which is four days away if things go according to plan." Shanna explained.
Minka huffed, sat in one of the chairs and served herself a plate of snacks. "She is two months and half now, I kept telling her to tell you, but I do not know why she didn't until mother heard us talking about it this morning, you should have seen her face ho-ho." She stuffed her mouth with food because she had run after them before getting to eat.
A soft smile formed on Collin's face. "Thank you for this special gift, I am very thrilled my love." He embraced her.

"Oh how sweet." Phoebe's hands fluttered together, making little clap sounds.
David leaned towards her and whispered. "Maybe we should also tell them that we have a little one on the way, Shanna and Collin did not die, we probably won't die as well." His lips grazed her ear as he murmured.
"Not yet, you forget that Shanna is not their daughter. They will be as angry with you as Anna Lee is with Collin." Phoebe sipped her tea. "My family has received enough shocking news for today, let us tell them another time babe, not today."
"Luke, can you take a look at Shanna and the baby?" Collin asked.
The spoon of jam cheesecake which was on its way to Luke's mouth was stalled. His face twisted into a light scowl. "Collin, how am I supposed to look at the baby? Do I have magic eye vision? Besides, I am not an obstetrician or pediatrician. You should talk to Pheebs, she has delivered a baby before."
Shanna and Collin looked at Phoebe and in their eyes was actual expectation.
"That was a fluke." Phoebe said to them and turned to Luke. "You have a pregnant sister-in-law and a sister who will have a baby someday in future. Maybe you should brush up on your knowledge in those fields for emergency."
Luke responded with a snort and went back to enjoying his jam cheesecake.
Oman appeared and told Shanna and Collin that they were needed in the living room.
"Is mother still angry?" Shanna's fingers tightened around those of Collin.
Twisting his lips to the side, Oman smiled warmly. "Not as much as she was when she arrived earlier, at least her normal color has returned to her face." His last words were assuring and funny at the same time.
Collin led Shanna to the living room, the rest just followed because they couldn't miss the drama if there would be any.
Anna who was now more relaxed, shut her eyes briefly on setting her eyes on Collin and Shanna. There was naked disapproval in there. "I do not know what is wrong with the Lee girls of this generation. One is pregnant before marriage which makes that child a bastard and the other is getting divorced! It is unheard of, thus goes to show that I raised you all wrong. This ugly mark taints me not both of you." Anna fell back in the sofa. "I don't know how I am going to face my father-in-law."
"It's not a bastard; it is a Mayfair." Collin clarified.
"And I am not to blame for that divorce, George had two marriage markers and none is mine. On top of that, his mother and sister are going around tarnishing my name and he is holding his silence. He chose them over me, I cannot tolerate him for one minute." Minka defended herself.
Shanna let out shaky breath. "I did not do anything wrong either since Collin and I are already married. So please mother stop saying that I am a disgrace nor should you refer to our child as a bastard." Her voice was stern and unapologetic.
