Mistalina's Journal
January 18, 2007 - Gaian Calendar

Perhaps I should explain what happened the other night, at least...what I can make of it. It was the night before Shidiomi came into my care, I went to a bar as I usually do when I'm looking for someone knew, had a few (too many) drinks.

Beyond that, all I know is that somehow I ended up meeting Caitlyn, we talked and seemed quite taken with each other. We ended up getting along fairly well, and somehow rather, I don't know exactly how we ended up on the subject of children...and having our own.

I think I might have mentioned a clinic I saw in town...the Soul Maternity clinic I think it was. So, we thought it might be a good idea to check it out, and check it out we did.

I remember something about flipping a coin, and I lost.

All I know now, is that I'm pregnant, with Caitlyn's children. I guess that was what the coin toss was about, the looser was the one to get knocked up.

My luck picked a horrible time to turn bad.

Mistalina's Journal
28 January 2007 - Gaian Calendar

Shidiomi is having a lot of fun at school and is doing well, according to a note I got from his teacher. He's shown me things he's learned and all sorts of fun projects he's done at school, I think I'm supposed to go in for an interview at his school soon, that will be fun.

He is so happy that he's going to be a big brother, but he's sad that Caitlyn will be leaving once the twins are born. Shidiomi really has taken a liking to her, despite her temper. He's a bit upset that it's difficult for me to play with him much right now, since I'm so big now and it's hard to sit on the floor or run around anymore. (Not to mention Caitlyn would damn near have a heart attack if I did.)

It's amazing how fast children grow, he's sprouted up a few inches just since he came to stay with me. I'll be needing to take him clothes shopping soon as well, my little catboy is starting to outgrow his favorite clothes.

Once Shidiomi learns a bit more about writing in school, I'm going to get him a journal of his own, that he can draw and practice writing in.

Playdate With Tidus

Mistalina's Journal
26 February 2007 - Gaian Calendar

Only a few more weeks, and Shidiomi will be a big brother. He incisted on going to the checkup appointment with us, but ended up falling asleep just before we left. He had been so busy that day with school, and playing all afternoon I wasn't suprised.

Before I forget to mention it, I ordered a persacom from a catalogue to help me out with the children, and it would give me another adult to speak to. Caitlyn doesn't know yet, and she'll probably freak out. After all, it is a computer. It should be here later today, assuming delivery is running on time.

Shidiomi is quite excited too, since he'll have someone else to play with.

Mistalina came downstairs, having been unable to find Shidiomi in his room where she'd left him. "SHIDIOMI!" She called the little catboy. The tiefling's tail twitched back and forth, she was nearly in a panic. Where was he. That's when she noticed the front door was open.

She got to it as fast as she could and went out onto the front porch. "SHIDIOMI!" Her gaze flicked around the yard as she called him again, still with no answer.

Then she saw the tree.

"Shidiomi..." Mistalina looked at her little boy. "...you grew up..." She smiled, bent down carefully and hugged him. "Yes, it was a nice trick...just be careful from now on."

Birth of the Twins
((RP Cross Posted in Nyume & Alendan's Journal. ))

It was a very nice and sunny day but something is going to happen at the household. Caitlyn paces back and forth in the living room of the house she shares with Mistalina. She have been contiunally growing more agiated because Mistalina discovered a persacom and pretty much chucked her away unless its about pregnancy or doctor check ups. She groans in frustration. "Damnit.." Caitlyn really hates the feeling of being left out of the pregnancy and helpless along with the feeling of being useless ever since that cursed persoacom came along.

Mistalina sat on the bed in her room, in the best cross legged position that she could manage while Demetrius rubbed her shoulders. "Mm...thank you." She stretched her arms and relaxed her shoulders more.

Demetrius sat behind her, carefully rubbing her shoulders and upper back. "Your welcome, Mistress." He smiled and nuzzled her hair. Mistalina had been teaching him to act more personable and apparently it had been going well.

Caitlyn grumbles more as she stalks upstair to the nursery with her wings fluttering agiatedly. "That stupid persacom.. I swear to god I am going to..." She dissolves into unintelligible angry mumbling. She slumps in the rocking chair and looks around at the nursery. Subconsiciously, she pulls the stuffed tiger into her arms and sighs, suddenly feeling helpless and miserable. Her eyes wells up with the tears which she angrily brushes away with back of her hand, grumbling softly. "Hellstorm don't cry.... and I certainly will NOT cry.." She mutters to herself.

Mistalina sat there for a few more moments, looking at the pattern on the blankets underneath her. "Enough Demetrius..." She spoke quietly, and pulled away from the persacom's hands, starting to climb off the bed.

Demetrius drew his hands back, then went to help her stand.
She put one foot on the floor and winced.

A sharp pain had suddenly caught her in the back. She froze for a moment, then put a hand to her belly. "Go get Caitlyn."

The persacom nodded and rushed off to find the red head.

Caitlyn was hugging the stuffed bear for who k nows how long before she jumps slightly when the persoacom rushed in the nursery. She shot him a very dangerous and venomous glare. "What now?" She mutters at Demetrius annoyedly because he have walked in when she was in her vulnerable stage which she certainly doesn't want anybody to see.

"Mistress, needs your help. It's about the children..." Demetrius stood there, seeming a little puzzled. There were a lot of things he didn't understand still, babies being one of them.

Caitlyn arches her eyebrow before she shakes her head in visible defeat. "Lead me to her." She stiffly says as she stands up, waiting for him to lead her to Mistalina. Caitlyn crosses her arms as she sighs softly, silently hoping its not labor but there is a nagging feeling in pit of her stomach that she is going to see her children sooner than expected.

"She's in her bedroom." Demetrius turned back and headed back to his Mistress' bedroom.

Mistalina was sitting on the edge of the bed, with her eyes closed breathing slowly and trying to tune out the pain. The twins wanted out...finally.

Caitlyn arches her eyebrow when she arrives, she could see that her partner is in the pain. "Well well.. finally you are in labor uh?" She scathingly says before the notion that the babies are coming finally dawned upon her. "Oh crap..." She mutters to herself. "Demetrius.. get the car ready. The babies are coming." She barked the orders at Demetrius as she rushes around to gather things up to bring to the hosptail with her so Mistalina will have things to wear or use after she give birth.

"Car? Mistress hasn't taught me about that...." Demetrius looked nervous.
"I don't drive Cait, remember?" Mistalina's eyes snapped open. "Yes, I am. And I'd appreciate that it end as soon as possible."

Caitlyn glances at Demetrius in surprised yet annoyed manner. "Oi.. just carry Mistalina to the car.. and Mistalina.. remember to do the breathing.. I will be back with the car." She tries her best not to snap at anybody as spun around and ran outside to the car, turning it on.

"Oh man.. oh man.. I am NOT ready..for this" She hisses to herself, trying her best not to panic. She takes in deep breath and drives up to the front of the house. She really laid onto the horn with her hand, wanting to show them that she is not going to change just because Mistalina is finally going into the labor without even a warning. How Considerable of Mistalina.. She fumes to herself.

Demetrius sighed and carefully picked up his Mistress from the bed, cradling him against her. Weight made no difference to him, since he was machiene after all. It was an easy thing to carry her down the stairs carefully. "I wish she had a little patience. If I rush too much, you could get hurt."

Mistalina had an arm around the persacom's neck, and her other hand rested on her belly. "Please, rush a little at least, this does h-hHURT." She winced again.

Caitlyn watches Demetrius appear in the front door. "COME ON!!!!" She screeches as she opens the back door. "Hurry up!! we need to go to hosptial like.. right now!" She impatiently says as she drums her fingers on the steering wheel."Demetrius.. I know you can move faster than that." She frowns disapprovingly but she couldn't help but to feel a sudden surge of gradutitude toward Demetrius for helping her out during this time.

Demetrius reached back with a foot to pull the door shut, when a pink flash zoomed through it just in time before it started to close. He shook his head and started to walk to the car at a quickened pace.

"I'm coming too!" Shidiomi slid in the backseat to the far side to help Demetrius get his Momma in.

Mistalina climbed carefully into the car and the persacom after her, and he closed the door.

Caitlyn couldn't help but to smile at Shidiomi. "Behave yourself, boyo.." She pulls out of the driveway and pretty much sped toward the hospital while calling ahead of the tiem to let them know that she is coming in with Mistalina.

After 15 minutes of driving, they finally arrived and the nurses swarmed around Mistalina, ushering her toward the delivery room. Caitlyn crinkles her nose up slightly as she is being ushered to the waiting room along with Demetrius and Shidiomi so she just resigned herself to plunkng down on the comfortable couch and wait.

Mistalina disapeared with her nurses, leaving the persacom and Shidiomi with Caitlyn. Shidiomi looked up at Caitlyn, his deep purple eyes seeming rather worried and his feline tail twitched back and forth uncertainly. "Will Momma be okay?"

Caitlyn looks down at Shindiomi when he spoke to her and smiles slightly, not sure how to answer that question because there is so many possiblities that it could go wrong. "But of course, Momma will be ok! Soon you will be a big brother to twins." She grins at him reassuringly. "Be very excited about that." She ruffles his hair playfully.

Shidiomi smiled, his ears flattening though in a pleasant way when his hair was ruffled and he made a sort near purring noise. "Yeah."

Demetrius stood their next to them silently, feeling oddly, useless.

Caitlyn chuckles as she picks Shidiomi up and looks at him when she places him on her lap. "She will be fine.. I promise you." She murmurs as her wings flutters lightly in almost agaited/worried manner.. She glances at Demetrius.

"Think you could get us food or drinks or do you only take orders from Mistalina?" Her voice have a hint of sarcasm in it because she remembered how many times she have been trying to get Demetrius to leave or get something that will make him stay away for long time but he plainly refused to do so.

"I can." Demetrius frowned slightly. "Why are you so bitter toward me?" From what Mistalina had taught him, he'd started to learn to notice little things, like tone of voice and expressions more fully.

"Just get us the food and drinks. I am sure the child here is hungry and thirsty." Caitlyn stiffly says as she turns her head away from Demetrius which is an obivious sign that he is dismissed from her company.

But when she turned her head away, she felt this sudden pang of guilt and sadness because of the way she treated Demetrius ever since he arrived. Its not his fault that he is a robot and had to be delievered to this house where there is a hositle tiefling waiting to rip it apart.

Demetrius frowned and went off to get food.

Shidiomi squirmed to get down from Cailyn's arms, he didn't like to be held for long now. "You shouldn't be so mean to him, he doesn't understand."

Caitlyn shrugs as she looks at Shidiomi. "I just don't like him, sweetheart. But in due time.. I might will tolerate him." She pulls out the stick of bubble gum and pops it in, chewing on it thoughtfully.

She blows a bubble before she sucks it back in, popping it in her mouth watching Shidiomi knowing that he was about to say something that she wouldn't like to be reminded of.

"Momma says you aren't staying around. So, why worry?" Shidiomi sat down on a bench along the side of the hall, swinging his feet. Mistalina had explained to him a while back about what was going to happen once the twins were born.

Caitlyn raises her eyebrow before she chuckles. "I will still stick around so I will get to know another baby. But I don't like the thought of having a robot around the babies.." She crinkles her nose up slightly as she shrugs once again.

She sighs to herself mentally as she tries her best not to roll her eyes and she grunts. "Plus I think its important for me to get along with your Momma for your and babies' sake.. don't you think so?"

"Demetrius is nice, he wouldn't hurt us...he plays with me all the time and helps Momma too." The catboy looked at the floor and rested his hands on the bench edge, waiting for Demetrius to come back. "That's between you and Momma."

After a few moments the persacom did return, with a snack and drink for each of them. He handed one set to Shidiomi and the other to Caitlyn before going to the side of the bench the catboy was on and leaned against the wall.

Caitlyn just merely shrugs at the catboy. "Well... It's just my opinion so... maybe I am wrong but I need to learn that on my own." She murmurs as she glances at Demetrius warily.

She murmurs her thanks before she began to chow down on the sandwich waiting for the doctor to come back to let them know the update on Mistalina and the babies. She takes a sip of the fizzy pop and watches Shidiomi and Demetrius with resigned expression on her face.

Demetrius looked toward the floor and didn't speak, he knew when he wasn't wanted around, but he had nowhere else to go.

Shidiomi inched toward the persacom and leaned against him. Even if he wasn't real, Demetrius was still his friend, and kind of like another parent....sort of anyway.

Caitlyn sighs as she rubs her forehead before she sees the doctor coming toward them. She suddenly stands up and looks at the doctor expecantly. "So..... hows the mother and babies?"

She eyes the doctor warily, not wanting to hear the bad news. She will definitely go on the ramapage if one of the children died or Mistalina dies in the childbirth.

The doctor smiled at Caitlyn then at the small family with almost a proud expression on his face. "Mistalina is doing wonderfully and congratulations, Caitlyn. You are a proud mama of two baby boys! They are being taken care of by the nurse. Vital measurments are being taken and you will be able to see them very soon." The doctor nods as he turns his head toward Shidiomi.

Shidiomi's ears perked when he heard footsteps coming down the hall. He looked up to see the doctor. "Brothers?" He asked excitedly.

The doctor turns his gentle blue eyes toward Shidiomi and smiles at him in amusement and gentleness. "Oh yes. You are now proud brother of two baby brothers. They are weighted at 7 lbs and 5 oz each and 31 inches each." He pauses as he grins at the catboy. "They are big.. maybe just like you when you were born!" He chuckles.

"Wow." Shidiomi grinned, bounding up and down on the bench. Demetrius looked up when the doctor came over, but said nothing.

The doctor grins at the boy's excitement before he looks at Caitlyn. "Mistalina is being moved to the private room.. you can find her on 5th floor.. room 569." He nods. "The babies will be in there very soon." He formally says as he winks at them all before he leaves to tend to other patients.

"Lets go up, okay?" Shidiomi looked between Caitlyn and Demetrius, still grinning.

Caitlyn laughs as she grins at Shidiomi. "Sure! Lets go.." She began to walk after she gestures to Demetrius that he could come along with them.

When they arrived, first thing she saw is Mistalina with the babies in their bassinent. "Hey Mistalina.."

Mistalina seems exhausted and a little peeved, but she manages a little wave when everyone else comes in.

Shidiomi bounded in and climbed up on the chair next to his Momma's bed, his ears dropping. "You okay?"

"Yes, sweetheart, I'm fine...just tired." She reached over and patted his head. "Go see your little brothers, but remember to be gentle..."

Shidiomi nodded, climbed down and walked over to the basinet to have a look.

Demetrius came in, looking a little sullen and leaned against the far wall.

Caitlyn arches her eyebrow when she could see that Mistalina was little peeved. "Eh... whats going on, Mistalina?" She murmurs as she moves toward the mother first before she get a chance to examine her offspring.

"Wings hurt Caitlyn." Was all the black haired tiefling muttered.

The two little ones in the basinet were asleep. One had a head full of deep red hair and a demons tail, the other had very little hair, the tiniest head wings and small back wings as well.

Shidiomi rested his hands on the edge of the basinet and beamed at them.
"I named the red head Nymue, and the one with the wings Alendan." The black haired tiefling pipped up again as she carefully sat up in bed.

Caitlyn nods as she smiles indulgently at the children. "Sorry that one of them had to get my wings..." She smiles slightly at Mistalina before she watches Alendan and Nyume for while.

"You did good job, Mistalina..." She glances at her partner before she notices Demetrius. "Why so sullen?"

Demetrius looked up because he was being addressed. "You need not worry about me." He looked down again after a moment.

Caitlyn eyes Demetrius warily before she shakes her head, gingerly picking up Alendan and cradles him in her arms. "Alendan..." She whispers to him in the native language telling him that he will be very well protected and loved.

Shidiomi looked up at Caitlyn when she took Alendan into her arms, then looked at Nymue for a moment. "Can I hold Nymue, Momma?"

"With help you can, sweetheart." Mistalina slowly started to get up the bed.
Demetrius, sensing he'd be useful went to her side to help up the rest of the way and to the basinet.

The black haired tiefling mumbled a thank you to him, before giving Shidiomi more instructions. "Go sit down, I'll bring him to you, alright?"

Caitlyn eyes Demetrius warily before she shrugs, walking over to Mistalina with Alendan in her arms. "Wanna hold him?" She murmurs softly to Mistalina.

Alendan opens his emerald-like eyes as he watches Mistalina and Caitlyn curiously. His tiger-like tail twitches slightly.

Mistalina picked up Nymue from the basinet and walked over to Shidiomi, placing the infant in his arms. "I've already held them and nursed them both. You and Shidiomi can enjoy them for now...why not let Demetrius hold Alendan?" She looked over at the persacom, who seemed to be watching the little ones with quiet fascination.

Caitlyn visibly twitches as she regards Mistalina warily. "I don't know.... I think Demetrius need to sit down too if he want to hold Alendan..." She hedges as she sighs, eyeing the persacom warily.

"Would you like to hold Alendan?" Mistalina asked Demetrius.

"I would." Demetrius smiled, his expression seemed to brighten a little more and he settled himself on the side of the hospital bed.

"Well there you go." Mistalina smiled, then looked back to Shidiomi, helping him hold Nymue who was half curled sleepily in his older brother's arms.

Caitlyn tries not to roll her eyes as she sighs, visibly resigning to the fact that she can't start up or deny Mistalina anything. "Oh all right..." She mutters as she walks over to Demetrius and places the baby carefully in his arms. "Be careful.. it will be your head if you drop him.." She says in anxious voice.

"I won't drop him." Demetrius cradled the baby carefully, like he'd watched Shidiomi and Caitlyn do and cooed over him. Apparently he had some programming for dealing with infants.

Caitlyn watches Demetrius warily as she crosses her arms but is ready to lunge forward if the baby drop. Her tail swishes back and forth agaitedly. She glances at Shidiomi. "How are you feeling now, hon?"

Shidiomi looked up at Caitlyn. "Me?" He cradled Nymue even more carefully as the boy was begining to wake up.
Caitlyn nods as she looks at Shidiomi. "Yeah.. you, hon." She smiles slightly and watches him with Nyume.

"I'm fine Caitlyn." He looked down at his brother again.

Caitlyn shrugs as she looks at Mistalina then Demetrius. "Do you guys want me to leave so you guys could bond with the babies?" She arches her eyebrow.

"Remember our agreement Caitlyn." The black haired tiefling looked up.

"Yeah yeah.... I will just take Alendan to other room and he can stay there until the doctor clears him so he can go home with me." Caitlyn rolls her eyes.

Mistalina sighed. "We wouldn't have gotten along Caitlyn, you know it as well as I."

Caitlyn just merely shrugs as she looks at Mistalina. "I am not going to say anything....Demetrius, can I have my son back please?" She says curtly.

Demetrius handed the child back to Caitlyn.

"Thank you Demetrius." Caitlyn says as she takes Alendan back and put him in the bassient. "Well.. I will be back in like 5 weeks or so with Alendan for the visit.." She glances at Mistalina and began to wheel him out of the room.

Mistalina's Journal
05 June 2007 - Gaian Calendar

The boys and getting plans together for a new business of sorts has kept me busy and I have I haven't had a chance to write much in months lately.

The boys are doing well, I need to measure both their heights again, they've both sprouted like weeds since the last time. Shidiomi's writing has improved quite a bit, his teachers are impressed and so am I. I'm proud of how far my son has come so far.

I have some more paperwork to fill out, so that's all for now.
