For the 100th post request, Can I please have Judar and his S/O learning that their baby had been born blind?

Rating - 'E'

Judar sighed as he sat beside his lover, feeling quite exhausted from the days turmoil's. It has been a non -stop day of running around, meeting with multiple different types of healers and magicians. They had been looking for an answer to a question that had been plaguing them since the birth of their child just two months ago. Now, at their last stop, the two were waiting impatiently in a small room while their child was examined elsewhere. Judar could feel the stress and anxiety over the situation literally radiating from his lover as he gazed down at her, his eyes catching on the nervous bouncing of her leg.

Hating to see her so stressed, he reached his hand over and placed it on her thigh, using a strong but comforting grip to quell the nervous habit. "Hey, you'd better give that leg a rest or it might just fall off." With a heavy sigh, his lover reached up and ran shaking hands through her hair, leaning back in her seat. She gripped onto his hand with both of hers tightly, turning her nervous gaze up to look at him. "I can't help it, I'm so nervous. If this healer says the same thing, then that's it..." Her voice began to tremble towards the end of her sentence, her eyes beginning to well up with tears.

Judar's grip on her thigh tightened, using his free hand to come around and place on top of her trembling hands. "Just try to breathe, alright? We have to be level headed about this." It was too late for that, however, as his lover began to hiccup, taking in sharp breaths as she tried to contain her sobbing. She hung her head as the tears began to flow, and Judar could feel the light plop of the tears against the back of his hand. "But our poor baby... How could he live a life like this?" Judar couldn't seem to find words to say, all his attempts to comfort her since this all began ending up in vain.

Though, he was mostly lost for words because he himself was panicking. What was he supposed to do? For such a situation as this, all his powers and status could do nothing to help them. Magic could heal progressive blindness, sure, but being born with it? That was something that kept coming up with each healer they met.

He was born with it, it cannot be fixed.

It made Judar feel sick. That is why they went to all these different healers that day, to try and find someone who knew something or could say for sure that his son was in fact blind. Though, Judar didn't need someone with a fancy title for him to know. He could tell, just from the way the child acted. Visual stimulation prompted no response and the child was very easily startled by noises, more than Judar thought to be normal. Sure, he had no idea how a baby so young was supposed to act, but he could just feel in his twisted gut that something wasn't right.

Both he and his lover glanced up as the healer returned into the small room from behind a door, carrying their child in her arms. Before he could even think about moving, his lover shot up out of her seat and walked over to the woman, gently taking their child back from her. "W-well? She spoke with a trembling voice, and Judar could see that her body was shaking just as violently. The healer frowned, giving a small shake of her head. "I'm sorry, but I cannot find any way to fix such blindness. Since he was born with it, there is nothing to reverse, you see."

Noticing her sway a bit, Judar quickly stood and went to his lover, grabbing her by the shoulders to keep her steady. Holding her child close to her and containing her emotions the best she could, she gave a polite, small bow to the woman. Though, she could not speak, for fear that she might lose what little control she had over herself. So, she turned and began to walk away towards the exit, prompting Judar to follow. Once again, he was stuck on what to say, knowing that any words of encouragement would fall on deaf ears.

Judar and his lover both sat down onto the carpet they had been using for travel and began their way back home. After a short while of awful silence, Judar finally got the courage to look down at his lover and child, feeling an awful tugging at his heart as he observed them. His lover was simply gazing at the child resting in her arms, stroking the small fluff of hair on his head as tears streamed down her face. A small smile crossed the child's lips with each new stroke, though it brought no joy to either of them. Feeling defeated, Judar shifted his position closer to his lover, putting his arm around her gently. She leaned on him, though continued with her gentle action of affection towards the child.

"I'll figure something out." Judar spoke through a dry throat, tightening his grip on his lover. "There's not way that Magic can do nothing. I will figure it out..."

"I know you will."
