Pleasure Of Kisses, Pain Of The Bite

chptr 18: THE BABIES COMING!

Fallacy watched as Encre sketched, nothing else to really do what with her overgrown bump. She was due any day now and cramps had gotten worse, and with every cramp came a false alarm. He was excited, and returned to 3 nights no sleep as he waited for the baby to arrive. He would take short naps, resting his head on his wifes chest or lap, but that was it.

She looked happy while sketching, but then, a not so happy frown made itself known, as if there were a bad smell in the room. Encre placed a hand on her stomach, and one of the maids that passed by, slipped. "Uh oh" Encre looked down. The seat was wet, her dress was damp...and a puddle of water and blood was on the ground.....

Fallacies head snapped up as he heard those words and was by her side instantly, as Encre began breathing rhythmically. "Whats wrong?" He queered and looked her over, before she tightly grasped him by the collar of his shirt, and growled in a scary, deep tone..."the babys..coming". Fallacies eyes widen as he begins to panic, only for Encre to slap him across the face, "WHY THE HELL ARE YOU PANICKING?!?!? I SHOULD BE PANICKING!! I'M THE ONE IN LABOUR!!" She screamed and Fallacy screamed in return "I DON'T KNOW!!! WE SHOULD PROBABLY CALM DOWN!! JUST BREATHE WOMAN!!".

Suave was on the scene, guiding Encre to the bedroom so she may give birth in peace. It needed to be dark, or else Encre might turn into a bat and hide, and give birth alone, and if that happened, they wouldn't find her until days later when she got hungry. The room was kept quiet and dark so she felt safe, like a cat. Screams of agony rang from the room and Fallacy paced back and forth like a wild animal, sending a messenger owl to his brother, Apollo and Segador, letting them know his child was on the way.

An hour into the screaming, the the lords arrived, congratulating Fallacy, and keeping him from bursting into the room, in fear that if he burst into the room, it would disturb and scare Encre away, as she was defenseless, and vulnerable in that moment. Another hour after the torturous screams of his wife, it all came to silence. Fibi exitted the room, allowing Fallacy in.

He stepped to the doorway, and stared. Moonlight shone into the dark room through open curtains, a window open to let the cool night air in, gently pushing the curtains around to the bed, where he saw the glow of his wifes eyes as they at first looked downwards, before ascending to meet his gaze, a smile crept upon her pretty face as she motioned for him to join her. He smiled, as he quietly stepped towards them, the bundle in her arms becoming more visible.

His heart raced as he neared them, and Encre gently rocked the small creature in her arms. "Fallacy...meet your new daughter...Jinx" she whispered softly, as the cutest, little face peered from the towl she was wrapped in. Her eyes not yet opened. He smiled even wider as he met the long since awaited face, and gently caressed the babys cheek, a little yawn erupted from her throat, and a tiny hand grasped Fallacies finger. He was overcome by cuteness.

"Hello Jinx" he whispered, and carefully took her from Encre. Hollocaust stepped into the room, and awed quietly at his niece. She was a pretty little thing, her bones as white as Encre's, a gradience of white, to grey to black rolled down her arms and legs to her hands and feet. Only when she let out an ear piercing wail was she given a sour look. The cry then cracked a mirror, and it was known that her name was a perfect fit.

Apollo was next to enter the room, but his movement was shadowed...by Umbra....Fallacy growled, handing his daughter back to Encre, who stared, placing a hand on Fallacies shoulder. Umbra came closer, and Fallacy got defensive, staying right by Encre, threatening to attack. "Fallacy...." Encre whispered softly, and he stood down. Umbra kneeled down, keeping himself in line, as he only wished to see the baby, and as soon as he saw her....he couldn't believe himself....how he would've let this adorable thing die with its mother. An innocent baby....

He fell in love with Jinx as soon as he saw her. He placed a hand on her little cheek, and she grabbed his finger. Thats when he saw his future with her. It all came down to one choice. He saw flashes of Macabre, Koda, and someone that looked so much like Koda, all staring at her. A red rose, a black rose, a blue rose, and a yellow rose, all offered, the vision turning to black and white, and the day of the black sun, all revolving around her. "I'm so sorry" he whispered, and Encre smiled tiredly as she gave a, "its ok...I forgive you for what happened....you can visit anytime", she smiled and handed Jinx over to Umbra. Only then did the baby open her eyes, and she smiled and gave this cute little, but delighted giggle of joy. Her eyes were so beautiful, one was in the shape of a star and was an orange shade of bright yellow, resembling a sunflower or gerbra, and the other was a beautiful violet purple, with a blue irridescent ring in the middle.

Umbra smiled softly, rocking her gently in his arms, careful of how he handled her, before returning her to her mother so she may neck feed.

Encre, using her claws, had cut into her neck, before allowing Jinx to latch on and feed on the sweet red fluid that flowed from her mothers neck like a milk. Fallacy kissed Encre delicately on the head, before guiding everyone out of the room to give Encre some space and time to bond with the baby. "Congratulations brother" Hollocaust said and patted his back as Apollo acted in the same manner, congratulating their friend. Umbra was in a conflict with himself, something snapped and whispered inside his head, telling him to kill Encre and burn the baby, get it all over with, only to be snapped out of it by Apollo, "brother....? Are you...ok?" He asked softly, his voice coated with worry for his dear brother.

Umbra smiled as he gave a thumbs up, and sat down, hoping to god he could control himself...

After all.....

Something was awake...

And he wanted revenge...
