Expecting the Unexpected..

Laven slowly opened her eyes as she looked out the window to the falling snow.. Some slowly gliding past the window like small dancing fairies. Mae was out of the house, traveling, so she was alone. Well, alone enough to be the only person in the room.. But to her, she was not. Growing in her womb was a child, a wee babe that could come at any time..

"But not too soon!" Said Laven as she spoke softly to her buldging belly. 

"I want your Father here before you come along.. You hear?"

Nothing happened.

"Maybe they are sleeping. Or he.. Or She.. Or.. Both."

She didn't know how many she was to bear, or of what sex. Laven just wished for a healthy child to call her own.

Her hands caressed her stomach as she stood from the bed to waddle about to finally start her day..

"I love you.." 

A kick was her only answer.
