How long had it been since he saw fre? He was starting to get worried. What if he missed his own childrens birth? How long did pae'il pregnacy take? Nine months logically, but Dames and Tristens babies came alot sooner then that. The demonic paced the mouth of his cave nervously. He hadn't even the concentration to train right then.

Fre had been forbidden to leave the house by Mouse and even while pregnant she still had to take care of the newest children. She had been known to snap at the moment and had the oddest cravings during the whole process. It was enough to drive her crazy, so, in a fit of frustration, she left the cottage and slowly trotted her way over to Raken's.
Her large belly made it difficult to walk fast, or very far, and she arrived late in the day. As soon as she entered the cave she collapsed on the floor, out of breath and very sore. This was not how things were supposed to be."
"Ow..."she breathed heavily. "It...hurts..."

As fre broke through the tree line, raken froze. He watched her walk right past him. "Fre...?" The male blinked and she fell. Instantly he was by her side, kneeling down to help her into his lap. "Fre! What...what are you...don't you know that...What happened?" It was the only logical explaination. Something had happened to make her press so hard to come to his cave

Fre took a few moments to catch her breath before she could respond. There was a deep ache in her side and she could feel the babies moving around agitatedly. It made her cringe as the two alternated between kicking her sides and all around.
"Just had to get out," she responded as she let herself rest in his arms. "Mouse was driving me crazy. I needed to see you."
She let out a hurt little moan as she grasped her sides. The two twins were moving around angrily, kicking her here and there and showing no signs of slowing. Fre grasped her stomach in pain but tried to smile through it all.
"Seems," she froze as a wave of pain went up her body, "that they are pretty mad at me."

"Thats sweet." The male winced, gently reaching out to feel her stomach. He was no doctor, but he had read ALOT of books for this. He still had yet to return the two huge stacks of books to the library. "But dangerous..." He murmered, carefully pressing down around her belly. "They just seem a bit restless though. No contractions, and your water hasn't broken yet. Not sure if they're fully developed yet and it's not good to take any chances..."

Fre giggled to herself and it seemed the laughter settled the children's kicking. She was finally starting to feel better, which was a miracle, and the pain that she had been experiencing the whole time was subsiding. Raken never ceased to amaze her when it came to how much he knew.
"Since when did you become my doctor?" she questioned, laughing again.
Ah, it was good to laugh again. The sun had set and Fre watched the stars come out. In a sudden flash of insight she knew that somewhere else on the Isle someone else was going through what she was and it comforted her. Things seemed to be calming down nicely for the evening, but in the back of her mind the young and fairly inexperienced Pae knew that things weren't finished yet.
"I take it you did a lot of reading then? What else did you learn?"

"Since I appointed myself as such." He spoke with a light grin, hand slowly slipping away from her stomach as the twins -at least, he thought it was twins- calmed down. "And I've basically read how to carry the whole...conception...aspect if it's a neccessity. Then its all what NOT to do as a parent." He sighed. "The books never tell you what to do though."

"There's a reason for that," she said with a grin. "No one really knows what it means to be a good parent."
Fer leaned over and kissed his cheek and shifted her weight to sit more comfortably. The rocks underneath her weren't ideal for someone so sore but she had landed on the hard floor without more purpose than to just unwind herself. She rubbed her rather large belly once again before trying to get to her feet and failing miserably. Another pain went shooting through her side and the babies squirmed in anger.
"We'll be fine," she said, setting herself back down again without a sign of discomfort showing. "After all we've been babysitting how many children for how long?"

"Yeah...I just...if I mess up, I can't blame anyone but myself. If I did before, it would be Tartara's for putting me in charge." He gently looked at her stomach.

"You wont mess up," she comforted, placing a hand on his. "We're in this together and if something goes wrong it's now our problem."
The gesture alone was enough to settle her more. Both she and the babies inside were slowing down, as if a calm before a storm. Fre grinned at Raken for a moment before a slightly discomfort, stronger than the ones she had earlier, took over her. It was sharp and sudden, unlike the babies kicking, and it was over almost as soon as it came.
"You might want to prepare yourself," she said slowly, "it's getting close."

"Hope you're ri- what? Now?" Raken looked at her before quickly standing. The male ran into the back of his cave, seemingly as calm as ever. Seemingly as confident. But inside, his stomach was twisting painfully, mind screaming doubts. He came back a minute later with a tub of water and some towels.

Fre giggled at his quick action. It was going to be a long night, a very long night, and if he was this jumpy it was only going to get longer. She needed him to calm down because if he didn't it was going to drive her crazy.
"Honey," she said as another wave came and passed. "Calm down. The pains are too infrequent."
Inside the babies were getting restless and turning over. Well they were really kicking and moving a lot, but it wasn't in frustration, it was if they were preparing for something. Fre was feeling sick again but she swallowed the feeling down while she gripped her belly.
Grinning she turned to look at Raken, "We'll be fine, don't worry."

"I've read before in books that it sometimes sneaks up on them...hence why so many times they can't make it to the hospital in time because the water has already broken." He murmered, kneeling down beside her with the items. "Too many things could go wrong. Is there a real doctor nearby?" Raken softly spoke, looking around. Of course there wasn't. He picked his cave specificly for thought of being left alone

Fre shook her head at Raken, trying to keep the mood light. She wanted to keep from getting nervous and upsetting the children, making them more irritable than they already were. Gently she gripped his hand and ran her fingers over his.
"Relax, it'll be alright," she reassured as the babies settled again.
Another sharp pain went through her belly for a brief second and then disappeared. Every time a pain shot through she had to catch her breath and settle her stomach. The children inside her were trying to turn over but were stopped by the pain just as she was. It was going to be a very long and difficult night if he didn't calm down.
Fre smiled sweetly at him, "Calm down, please. We're going to be here awhile and I need you to be calm."
((sorry, every time I try to type a post Gaia seems to want to eat it. Blah, some days.))

He took a deep breath. "I am calm. Completely and utterly calm." Well, at least he thought he was. But he forced his body still except for one hand going out to gently rub Fre's stomach in a soft comforting matter. Everything HAD to be alright...if something went wrong he...he...no. Don't think of such things. He mentally sighed, shoving the image of him crying over fre into the back of his mind
