A Radiant Future

Chapter 8 - Dark Thoughts

~Micaiah is 5 1/2 months pregnant~

A beautiful spring morning flew over Tellius. The first day of spring brought warmth and happiness as the harsh winters melted away. As for Micaiah, the first day of spring meant a check up on her progress now that she was a little more than half way through. Her abdomen had a not too big but not too small bulge popping out. Sothe requested the check up after his wife started feeling sicker and not eating. As the physician arrived, Micaiah felt uncomfortable while the lady pressed down on her curved stomach. Guessing their baby is healthy, the silver haired queen was already big on the outside, breasts becoming swollen and her belly glowing. The couple sighed. All they wanted was that in the next 3 and a 1/2 months their child was born healthy and safe

Later that night, whilst the two slept, one hugging the other, Micaiah woke up almost suddenly and stared at Sothe's sleeping figure. She didn't want to wake him. Disentangling from his embrace, she sat on the edge of the bed, glittery tears streaming from her honey gold eyes. Sothe awoke as he no longer felt her warmth, and hugged her from behind, trying to wipe away her tears. "Is everything okay?" he questioned her softly
"...I had a nightmare.." she responded, face blotchy, eyes puffy and mucus stringing down her nose, " bandits came in..and injured you...and I was helpless...and one came with a sword...and cut Pumpkin out of me and left us for death...and they took our child away from us.." she wept. He turned her around, her face into his chest. "It will be alright.. I'm here to protect both of you, and Pumpkin is inside of you, so he or she is definitely safe.." he whispered, kissing her forehead. She looked up and stopped crying, his greenish gold eyes looking into her honey gold eyes. Relief went into her body, till a small surge of pain came to her, she jumped. Holding onto her bump, Sothe placed a palm there, and felt the same surge. "...Pumpkin kicked.." Micaiah whispered, which made her beloved smile. "Maybe he or she is trying to tell you not to worry," he kissed her cheek after saying,
"Maybe...we're almost there..." she ended before falling asleep in Sothe's embrace
