Through The Madness

The Egg and Feelings

Brianna screams and hits Julianna with all her might. Somehow she hits her intended target and Julianna crumbles to the ground with a thud. There was shocked gasps all around.

Brianna gasps when the bone clubbed Julianna over the head. That's the first time she's ever harmed anything in her life. Her hands shake and she drops the bone onto Julianna by accident. A small cry escapes her lips and she goes running into Regina. Who comforts her holding her tight.

Freddie walks over to the stone statue of Pauline. She kisses the cool stone on the forehead and it begins to crumble and split apart before Pauline emerges with a scream. She scatters away from them before clinging to Regina burying her face into the blond's white fur.

Regina lets Pauline sit on her back. They take Pauline with them back to Joan's home. Joan seems scared to take them home, she was worried they would judge her. Or would try and kill her, her kind were hunted for sport at times and their children are highly sought after.

The women just huddled by the fire shaking and fighting for warmth. Elbowing each other like school children trying to be first in line at recess. 

When the women distracted Joan steps away and goes to the crib where a large egg rests bundled with blankets. She gingerly cooed to it, "Mommy's home, sweetie."  

"You're a mama?" 

Joan jumps out of her skin and turns around to see Freddie flushed from the fireplace, "Yes, I am. They haven't hatched yet though." Joan rubs over the egg gingerly cooing over it.

“They sure look like you.” Freddie jokes walking over and peering into the crib, “How's parenting going?”

Joan looks lovingly at her egg, “It’s going good. Any day now they’ll be hatched. I’m taking the month off so I can be here for their hatching.”

"We'll keep the shop open for you." Freddie says, "I ran a shop when I was a teenager." 

Joan pauses, “You don’t have to butter me up,” Joan looks away, “I know you’re terrified of me.”

“What?” Freddie says standing by her side, “You’re one of the awesome creatures I met. If Brianna didn’t want to shag-“ Freddie smacks a hand over her mouth.

Joan raises a brow, “She wants to shag me?”

“Romantically!” Freddie corrects waving her hands making her bracelets jingle, "Take you on a date and movie first!"

Joan laughs and her eyes do the little eye wrinkles as she smiles. Fred can see it some past Joan's glasses, 

“I’ll have to have a talk to her then.” she smiles softly and goes back to tending to her egg.

Freddie scuttles out of the room facepalming to herself, “You okay, Fred?”

Freddie looks up and sees Regina standing in the doorway looking at Freddie with concerned dark blue eyes. Freddie hugs her tight, making the blond blush, “Farahnaz?”

“I confessed Brianna’s love for Joan to Joan.” Freddie blurts in her ear with a squeal making Regina's ears twitch, "Don't tell Bri! She'll kill me! Oh I'm a dead woman walking" she squeaks into Regina's ear before giggling.

"Tell me what?" Brianna asks, coming around the corner.

Regina and Freddie scream and jump. Freddie sneezes and turns the lamp into a frog. She covers her nose which glowed like a lightbulb. It went away after a few minutes, 

"Damn evolution." Freddie mutter swatting her nose Regina smiles warmly at her and tries to help Freddie out, both women and up laughing. Finding the whole thing funny.

After that it grew late. The women started thanking Joan for all her help and went to venture onto the spare boat Joan had behind the house down on the island. The clouds darken and a rumble broke forth rain poured down on the women and they retreated back to the safety of Joan's home. By the time they reached the porch they were soaked to the bone. Joan welcomed them inside warmly still.

"The storm attacked us!" Freddie pouts with a whimper standing in the hallway drenching the rug all the other women were soaking the rug too.

Joan waves her off, "The report never said anything about rain. You three are totally fine. Now let's get you dears all dried off and into fresh clothes." Joan smiles and leads them down the hall. The floorboards creak underneath their feet.

Joan shuffles Brianna into her room to change and dry off, she put the other two in the main bathroom. She didn't have many rooms to put them in.

Regina blushes as Freddie steps out of her red summer dress which was somewhat see through when it got drenched, even her corset was soaked through. Poor thing didn't even need one; she had a remarkable figure already and the tiniest waist ever. She was already a goddess. Why change perfection?

"Can you help me untie my corset?" Freddie asks shyly, pushing her ebony hair out of her wet face, "I would do it myself but I'm shaking too bad." a nervous laugh escapes her lips.

"Anything for you." Regina says lovesicked she cringed minutes afterwards thinking back on what she said.

Regina's nimble fingers worked the ribbons undone. It didn't help that both were shaking and everything was wet, and not in a fun way.

"Almost, almost." Regina mutters her tongue pressing out against her lips a little as she focuses, "Got it!" she cheers.

The corset falls limply onto the floor with a wet splat. Freddie stands bare chested shaking only in her flower theme panties. Freddie’s warm brown eyes scan the room, 

"Can you hand me a towel, Reggie? There's some over there." she lifts her arm and points, Regina's eyes flicker down for a split second.

Regina forces her eyes to remain on Freddie's face as she hands the older woman a towel. Their hands brush against each other and their eyes lock meeting each other. Warm chocolate meets the ocean.

Does Regian kiss Freddie or chicken out?
