Our New Beginning

Ink was trying to reassure her, but the pixie’s gaze remained on Bae-Syl. He was the one that the pixie needed most right now. She could feel the tears that had been pricking her cheeks start to slide down her cheeks. Would she have been this afraid of failure if her father was still alive? He had saved her life when she was a child, a newborn… but this time he wouldn’t be there. She was scared of leaving Bae-Syl, and their children, behind… or… what if due to her small body the children suffered? What if they didn’t make it? She pressed against Bae-Syl, still not yet grabbing the herbs Ink had brought over to her. She could feel another contraction shake her and this time Lucy winced. It was starting to hurt holding back… but she… she wasn’t ready! They needed more time!

She took in a shuddering breath as Bae nosed her cheek and told her not to hurt herself. He could tell she was holding back. Right… the puppies would still need to come out whether she was ready or not. Lucy gave a small nod. “A-Alright… just… just a moment…” She took the herbs that Ink brought over, crushing them up in her jaws and swallowing them hard. Before she could even think to ask for some water the kodkod was already fetching her the small makeshift bowl she’d made by finding a rock with a deep indent. Lucy would give a grateful nod and lap the liquid up. Another contraction would come… and this time Lucy would push.

…and push…

…and push…

After the third push, realizing that there didn’t seem to be much progress, Lucette's panic spiked again. “It’s not… It’s not coming out!” She whined at him. “I’m too small… It… they’re…” She shuddered, no longer able to finish speaking. They were all going to die because she was so damn tiny…! She tried to push again as the tears streamed down her cheeks, not turning to look at her mother as Bellamy stumbled into the den with Ruby.
