Tulip's Destiny

XIII - We'll Figure It Out

Have you ever had a dream where it felt all real? But you don't know what it meant? Sometimes, some things you don't really need to understand at first. Sometimes, it just takes time to figure things out. Sometimes, you just have to wait it out. You can't ask questions, you're not ready to be answered. It'll come by... it must come out, right?

Then the urge to fight becomes more and more weak to her. She can feel her body fall lightly but there's something heavy pulling her down.

"I will always come find you."

Opening her eyes for the last time, as she felt a speck of light hitting her eyelid lightly. She turned to see if she heard it right, it was Bleu, she heard him, but he was nowhere.

Finally her body gave in to the heavy feeling, slowly sinking in with the water. It was not long before the once blue ocean became red, red and more red. Then she closed her eyes and lost consciousness. Then it all went black.

Soon, she found herself watching herself, odd enough she doesn't look like her and... Mikhail... like this could have been them if they were alive sometime in the past.

"You're going to be a mother." The doctor smiled looking at them.

It wasn't long before Mikhail threw himself on her, lifting her from the bed kissing her forehead, he was jumping in joy. "I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER!" He shouted, shaking the doctor then turning back to her for a hug.

"And you're going to be a mother." Mikhail smiled calmly at me, cupping her face before kissing her.

"I'M GOING TO BE A FATHER!!!"

Then there was darkness, the next thing she knew, she was running to the front door. And just as she was about to hug him, she immediately took into account that he is not Mikhail. She was taken aback, looking at him,  it's, it's...

She got dizzy, everything went to a blur. The last thing she saw before closing her eyes was blood, all over her.

"MY BABY!" She gasped, chasing breaths, turning to Mikhail.He looked at her emotionless, hugging her tight, before crying.

"Mikhail, what happened?! Our baby, why can't I feel her?" She shouted pulling away from him. Still crying, he hugged her firmly against his chest. "Catherine, please calm down..."

Raine was awakened by a strange feeling of something wet brushing against her cheek. The sun crept through the cracks of the velvet curtains, its rays were dimmed by the thick cloth of the curtain but still enough to get her senses. She scrunched her eyes, as she looked around the room. There she found Hail licking her to get up as if intentionally waking her from the dream. Soon, Raine realized how she's now lying on Mikhail's bed after falling asleep on his shoulders last night. "Hey Hail! Where's your dad? Did he tell you to get me?" She smiled with a sweet tone.

Hail, immediately prance on her as if answering her question. "So is that a yes?" Raine chuckled, sitting herself on the side of the bed as she held the furry in her arms. Hail then jumped off the bed, circling in excitement before her. "Okay. Okay. I'm coming!" Raine said, running to follow after the samoyed dog now racing downstairs.

After what seemed like minutes running after Hail across the whole mansion, they finally came to a stop at the garden. "Did I just get myself into a jog? You clever little baby! Now where's breakfast?" Raine laughed to herself, looking around. The garden is now showing its full beauty under the light of the morning sun. "Raine, darling! What took you two so long?" His mother greeted them, still in her silk nightgown. " Good morning, madam." Raine bowed politely.
