As expected, the young healer woke late, nearing noon already by that time. The nest only rested him, Gerard probably gone off to attend his duty at the farm already. He was saddened at first at the sight of the empty spot, but having found a folded letter, he lit up. So G didn't just leave him after all, and he made brunch too, already expecting his late rise. He giggled at the sweetness of it.
The foals made their presence known to their daddy with the kicks that was sent to him. He laid on his side to have a better view of his belly. Good morning to you too, my stars. he greeted with a hand rubbing. With a bright start, he was just so sure nothing would go wrong with this day.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The omega now rested at the cabin nearby, always keeping an eye for the nest just outside. He'd become very possessive of it you see; even a mere squirrel can't go near without being scared away by the centaur.
The wooden floor would complain if only it could. With the anxiety for the incoming birth, L would go to and fro between the bed and to some room he found to be needing fixing (even though there was nothing wrong). The nest wasn't spared as well as the white centaur would occasionally go out to add more leaves, or rearrange the sheets. He was anxious, and not even the discomfort of the belly could stop him from doing something. Especially so when he started feeling more off than usual. And then all anxiety was decided to be put on the bed, suddenly finding himself not in the mood to do anything more. Was it the pain on his back, or the unsettled foals? Either way he felt weird.
Babies, is everything alright? Are you okay? He asked as he laid in the bed again. He wasn't sure what those kicks meant.
Helena noticed something too when she came to say her farewell. She had been expecting to see her son in something along doing chores or sleeping. Not in such a worrisome state. Lumin was on the bed, breaths slowly becoming pants and face slightly pale. A hand was rubbing the swell, as his son just stared on the white sheets.
Lu, are you feeling unwell? Lumin was startled by the voice of his mom, not noticing her entrance. Unwell? Not quite. He was feeling different but otherwise fine. He looked at her with his smile, sure that this was nothing serious.
-I'm fine, ma.
-You don't look like it to me.
-I'm just feeling a bit off but I know that it's only normal; besides, this maybe just an effect of all the pre-labor anxiety. The mare had gone to sit with his moon on the bed, rubbing the male's back as she draws him to a hug. The top of the white hair was kissed, as well as both his cheeks, and lastly his children-filled womb.
-Oh I hope I could stay a few days longer. If the school wasn't in dire need of teachers, I'll have this chance to comfort and guide you through all pain. Lumin was hugged tighter, and filled with emotions, he teared up in the embrace, holding his mother as tight like the child he once was.
-Ma! Please stay. I d-don't know if I could do this. I'm scared... please, I need you. Helena was broken with how his son confessed. He was scared, who wouldn't being so young and already carrying multiples on his first pregnancy. She cried for him, really wishing she could stay.
-I'll always be with you, my precious moon. Don't be scared, and don't doubt yourself if you could do this. You are strong, Lumin. Believe in that. I-I can't stay, I'm sorry. But here's what I'll do okay. The flower necklace on her, made of opal and emerald on golden chains, she took from her neck and wore it on his son.
-With this I give you mine and your father's strength. Always remember that no matter what, we're here for you.
-Thank you, ma. I'll remember you with this, like you said. Helena can't help but chuckle at cute sight. Lumin's face was red and the boy was still sniffling, but he said his words full of sincerity.
(This had been more on Helena leaving. I'll be posting the start of the labor on the next post. Thought that it would be good to have it solely focused on another post rather than make this one long with the labor overshadowed. Hope you don't mind doing a filler post regarding on Gerard's thoughts or fears about the birth. Sorry
