Welcome to Gaia! ::

Nadea sighed and rolled out of bed, she had sang Gabriel to sleep after feeding him and bathing him. She stood in front of the full length mirror in her bathroom, raising her shirt up over her stomach. She almost cried as she looked at her reflection, her stomach was swollen and had bruises on it from the baby kicking her from the inside. She pulled her shirt back down hastily and left the room, she needed to go somewhere where she could think and be at peace. The pool was crystal clear as she slipped into it carefully, the cool water causing her to gasp lightly before sinking down to the bottom. She laid down on the bottom and began to think about whether or not to keep the baby. It was causing her soo much pain, mentally and physically, she didn't know how much longer she could hide the pain from her face and voice every time she kicked Nadea.

"Well I have finaly bound myself to Cassidy, after waiting for... how long has it been since people started to apear at the mansion?" Shadow said, not expecting an answer he was just trying to get the point across on how long he had truely been waiting for it to happen. He then looked off to the distance where Vickilyn had pointed. "Looks good. I think the kids will love it."

((Hey Vicky!! Haven't seen ya in a while!! Good to see you!! ^__^))

I giggled thinking about Shadow pulling a bunny out of a top hat, "like a magician?" I asked sarcastically through a laugh. "But seriously illusions would be great for all the incoming children, it would keep their minds far away from any battles" I said swinging slightly trying to test out the playset, and make sure the servants did a good job of putting the thing together.

((i know, I'm way too busy it seems... but good to see you too ^_^))

"You're so serious all the time, what's with you?" I asked tilting my head to the side like a child would. I grabbed the empty swing next to me, "C'mon old man, try this, I bet you'll like it" I said taunting him a little, wanting him to try something new, a little out of his character. "It might give you some insight into why kids like this and why yours might when they see this giant toy" I said doing the puppy-dog eye thing

"I have to be serious all the time since you are rarely serious. It is all about balance and nothing more." Shadow joked before turning to answer the question seriously. "I guess I just do not want to mess things up with my newest child as I have done with Alexia. I want this shild to be brought up in a loving surounding but with all this death happening aroudn the mansion... how could I manage?" He said as he looked to the empty space that Vickilyn was trying to get him to sit in. He figured since he was trying out new magics that he might as well try this out. "Just for you information, those eye do not work on me but I will try this out because you asked." he said as he sat down ont he swing. "Next time no taunting... that really hurts my feelings." he said in an overly melodramatic way, hoping his ancient humour travled.

"Keep that sarcasm up and you wont get any puppies of your own." Shadow said, trying to put on a comical fatherly tone. He laughed alittle after hearing himself. "Alexia may have turned out fine but I wasn't around for her that often. I feel really bad about and do not want it to happen again but with the current situation I know something will end up dragging me away from them all." He said as he looked to the direction Vickilyn was pointing. She was right it was Nadea. He let out a sigh as the memories of the news she gave returned. He did wonder how she was coping wit it all.
