Alex felt it too, one of the eggs not liking her presence. She felt rejected, not getting to be loved by all her children and her eyes went moist again.

She looked away to quickly dry her tears. "Now I think I shouldnt disturb you from your sleep. The children are drawing a lot from you, and you should need a lot of rest. Anything else you want to know?" She asked with her eyes fixated on the floor, her hand squeezing tight on her skirt.
