That baby felt like her child, and though the notion that it might be a premonition chilled her, she refused to deny it. She loved children, and this dream was either a vision of the future or a sign that she was afraid of something she needed to face. Either way, she decided that she couldn't shy away from it. She would love her child regardless, and if this dream turned out to be a prophesy...well, she simply wouldn't let it. She would keep that stone safe so that it wouldn't crack and that future simply wouldn't come to be.
