fiasko
When the contractions first hit, she fills with terror. Having spent most of her childhood and early adulthood hidden away in the Gates’ quiet places, she knows little of birth. The whole process is a mystery to her. A terrifying mystery. But thankfully, instinct takes over. Her body knows what to do.In no time at all, a soft, damp, sticky bundle lies in the grass at her side. Fiasko struggles to her feet and begins to clean the bundle off. As the mess is cleared away, more of the child becomes visible. It’s a girl. A beautiful, tiny little girl, with a pitch black coat, and a pure white mane and tail. Fiasko smiles. Much to her surprise, tears begin leaking out of her eye. “You’re perfect.” She glances about, searching for any sign of Jason. She can’t wait for him to meet his daughter.
Then suddenly, her contractions begin again. She cries out, scared, and lies back in the grass, feeling the movements take over her body. What’s going on? It something wrong? Within moments, she has her answer. Another tiny bundle lies in the grass (quickly followed by the afterbirth).
Twins?!
She stares dumbfounded at the child for a moment. She certainly hadn’t expected twins. There’s a strange niggling sensation in the back of her mind, like it reminds her of something, though she knows not what. But instinct urges her to her feet and towards the child to clean them off. She will have time to be surprised later. A few moments later, the second child is visible to the world. A boy. A little sabino boy with a blue tinge to his white markings, just like his father. Fiasko nuzzles at him, smiling. What a wonderful blessing. She can’t wait for Jason to meet them.
i'm still waiting for the world to end
