"Oh Eve it's a pleasure to see you after so long!" Allison was beaming as she rubbed her belly. She wasn't nearly my size, even though she was farther along. Eve had mentioned Allison only having one child, a son.
Regan had been spending more and more time near me, after finding out about the children. He never left my side, and even sat outside the bathroom door when I was using it.
"It's a pleasure to be back. I hope you don't mind, but I plan on staying for a while. Our Syndra may need some help... relaxing, and I am an expert level alchemist. Did my tea not help you?"
I nodded yes, thanking the gods for gifting me with a friend that could eliminate my sickness with just a simple drink. Although deep down I could tell she has ulterior motives.
"Syn, it's time to rest. You've been up all morning, wandering the halls." Regan held my arm in a firm grip to help me off the seat when I felt a sharp pang in my side.
"Are you well?"
Regan helped lower me to the chair once more at my yelp, worry clear on his face.
"Elric should never have left." Eve muttered before placing her hands on my back and gently rubbing. "I've called my mother, Syndra. She will be here in a weeks time."
"Oh dear." Allison mumbled.
"She's to help with the pregnancy, and the birth. I've relayed the news of your status and what I've seen."
Regan sent her a sharp look.
"Do not worry, fierce one, my mother would not dream of harming Syn. She helped raise her for gods' sake."
"I've sent a scout out for my brothers. It was foolish to leave so soon, I've ordered their return to the kingdom."
"Do not be foolish, Regan. Elric has duties to attend to, I am fine on my own."
"His duty right now is to you and his young. He does not know the danger you are in."
"Danger?" I whispered.
"Carrying three young in one womb is dangerous, especially for a woman who has not yet had one. I do not need to spell that out for you. Without Elric here things will be even rougher on your body. He never should have left."
One minute I was sitting, and the next something clicked inside of my body and realization hit me.
This is my purpose.
