[birthing] Easier for you to let me go; any

[Ilma]

I hope that you catch me, cause I’m already falling

Ilma

Ilma is too heavy for a normal walk.

And yet she does walk, because now that she snow has melted in the valley below, it's the season to give life to the world. A life that she did not want to carry, or at the least, should have been someone else's. But there's no time for regrets. She's had all winter to think about that. This baby will not be his - it will be hers and hers alone, or, rather, perhaps she will not tell the baby that Svedka is not their father - depending on what they look like, a little earlier or later. Because well, it's not too bad that he offered to help her. They'd see this through, and maybe next time, she will be pickier on who she mates with, maybe if he wants to he could actually - "Ugh!

She cried out randomly, it seems, and not too loudly. But it signals the start of the something she'd hoped might not come. But the baby moved so much inside her belly the last few weeks, she knows he is healthy and ready to live.

She just has to make sure he lives a much better life than his father.

I hope that you see right through my walls...
...put your arms around me, and I’m home

@[Svedka] @[Llowell] @[Kagerus] whoever wants to come see the baby and/or help her through this process
