ladies night

Theory teased her lightly, poking that there was no way thta Sparhawk could not stay away. Poem giggled lightly as she let Theo lull her into complacency. It was easy when Sparhawk consumed her mind, but she wanted to be there for her sister. Poem was able to open up and share these thoughts with her sister, and she hoped that Theory could do the same with her. Surely she knew that she could tell her anything.

”You think so?” She returned softly as she leaned into Theory’s touch and comfort. Her cheeks flushed instantly as her sister went on, Poem had been consumed by the two of them. She had only just met Sparhawk, but she knew her feelings for him were real but she hadn’t put much stock into the next step. They would make a family together. Theory was teasing her, but there was a seriousness that couldn’t be hid. They could be welcoming the next generation by next spring, and though Poem could state with certainty she wasn’t ready at this moment tere would be time to get her head around the idea.

”I..” She pulled away slightly so she could catch her sister’s eye. Her emotions and thoughts were laid bare in her eyes and expression. Her cheeks were red at the thought, but it brought an odd warmth to her belly that hinted at grief. Her thoughts touching on Shaye as she was brought back suddenly to her childhood. ”I think that might be really nice.” Her heart warmed as the promise of the future shined its brightness on the sad darkness of their past. Despite her sister’s teasing tone she knew it was a real question. Being pregnant, giving birth, making the journey into motherhood herself was frightening but exciting all the same.
