A Long Awaited Gift

[MamaBearJade 2090]

 

The pain that filled her was intense. She held her stomach as she made her way to her fiance. He cradled her, helped her to the clinic as she struggled to keep herself walking. He held her tight as they walked, his words of encouragement keeping her stepping one foot at a time. The cleric following behind them as she was laid to bed, her body straining as a new life would be brought into the world.

 

You are unworthy.

 

She looked at her daughter, a gift from the aspects. Days had passed since the young infant was brought into the world. She touched the soft cheek, tears still filling her eyes. She made this, she gave birth to this. A smile crossed her lips as she stroked the soft skin as she took a slow breath. Her silence haunting her as the baby mewled. She would never hear her mother’s words.

 

You are a failure.

 

She feared she would hurt the child. Her hands trembling as she looked at the tiny thing as it slept in its bassinet. Her eyes filling with fear and worry. A gentle but firm hand moved to the small of her back. His dual colored eyes falling to her green orbs. He could see the fear in her eyes. The years together he had learned to read her without her having to write, having to sign for him to understand.

 

You are beautiful.

 

Each day she felt strength. Elenora had given her encouragement, even if she still felt like a stranger. She swore she would not let her daughter feel that way. She took a breath as the infant cooed and hiccupped. She slowly pulled the child out of the crib and smiled as she buried her face into the soft blanket wrapped around the infant. Cerridwen’s blessing, the aspect’s gift to her.

 

You are loved.

 

He stayed by her side everyday. His words bringing her out of her depression and fears. Together they changed, bathed, and fed the small infant. Everyday he reminded her she was beautiful, that he loved her. Again her words never left her throat. The pain of being unable to speak still raw as she did her best to communicate to both him and her daughter. He did not complain, he instead talked for her.

 

You will sing.

 

The infant was nearly a month old now. The druidess had sent out announcements for the infant’s birth. Congratulations filled in from all over the grove and Sutica. She smiled as she read the letters of encouragement from those she believed disliked her. She felt less and less alone as she read them. Her fiance prepared the invites for their upcoming wedding. Things were finally looking up for her.

Just some of Rin's roleplay after finally finding herself some happiness.
