She was in tears, her heart was fucking breaking, I felt it, it was despair, total anguish, darkness.
I held her as close and as tight as I could without bringing her harm, my own emotions threatened to break the surface, it's not normal for one such as myself to watch his life mate suffer, because I feel everything she feels, it's usual for me to react, but this pain, this turmoil was coming from within, it wasn't a physical being that I could wrap my hands around its neck and twist.
Dad......
Father, she suffers, make it stop.
The sound of my daughter's voice almost made me weep, she was already giving orders from the womb, it brought a tear to my eyes. I said a quick prayer as I sought to comfort my woman.
"Why would you tear yourself apart about such a thing, I tell you I'm somewhat.....different and this is the thing that you fear most? Have no fear my precious one, though what I'm about to tell you might freak you out as your people say, maybe from your reaction just now it might bring you some solace.
As I was saying, before I answer the question of your death, I must first explain something.
There's more to the legend, as it were,......ahem.....uhmmmmhmm." I cleared my throat, imagine a man with eminent powers afraid of a girl, the female of any species is a fearful thing.
"There are two children in your womb, one male, one female........our daughter is destined to rule over my people."
She didn't say anything, just looked at me as her hand went automatically to our children. The two had already wrapped her in their special blend of love, I wonder if she noticed that she was no longer agitated, that her heart was no longer racing out of her chest, just from touching the place where they lay?
I know she couldn't see the light that now radiated outward from her, I could, I could feel the growing strength as well....
"How do you know all that?"
"I just do, I can.....communicate with our son, and only today have heard our daughter."
"You.....you talk to him, to them?"
I nodded as I withheld the wonder in her eyes, eyes that were almost violet for a moment before receding to their natural hue.
"What....how.....can I hear them?"
She was so adorably cute as she lifted the hem of my shirt that covered her swollen tummy.
"Is my tummy growing like faster than normal?"
"A little, it's being controlled for now but......we'll get to that later, as to the question of your death, please don't become distraught by this, but you're no longer as you were."
I'm such a coward, why couldn't I say the words, maybe because I was afraid she would brain me with something.
Oh you think that's funny Nicola, Nicholas, the thought of your mom bashing your poor old man over the head, makes you laugh?
At least the three of them were calm again, my daughter was.......strong....it wouldn't take long for the others to sense her, it wouldn't be possible to hide her existence from some of our kind, not even with me and Nicholas as shields.....
"What do you mean?"
"You can only die the same as I." There, I said it, sort of.
Dad you the man.....
Shut it.
The little shit was laughing at me, at least my daughter was a little more subdued this time, she barely smiled.
You could learn decorum from your sister.
She has to be all decorous, I don't. He went into peals of laughter.
"Who are you talking to?"
"You can hear me?"
"A little, it's like a little buzz, not quite words but I know the person is speaking."
Her strengths were growing more rapidly than I expected.
"That's our son."
"Oh shit....." She clamped her hand over her mouth.
"I mean, really, right now, you're talking to him, them, right now?"
I nodded yes, waiting for the tears, the rantings and accusations and.......nothing.
"I have to run to the bathroom, be right back."
I knew what she was up to so I let her go.
ME Pussy, did you hear any of that
PUSSY My hearing's fine thank you, just can't talk while I'm gagged you heifer
ME Well, what do you think
