Which Isn't a Lot, But it's Weird That it Happened Twice

*Recluse* · Updated 04/30/23:

The first thought that entered Recluse's mind the moment it was able to form thoughts at all was to wonder how much time had passed since their last talk... When Recluse had learned the impossible news. The words Sparrow "spoke", sent a rush of excitement through her. But she also couldn't help the worry either. If, as Sparrow assured her, somehow the kids were also hers... What was the chance she'd doomed any of them. She hadn't exactly been alive when they'd allegedly been conceived... What parts of her had they taken?

But still she was almost pulled towards her wife. As Recluse drew in the sight of Sparrow and- Recluse couldn't help the way her breath caught and she was almost instantly at Sparrows side, staring down the the five shapes nestled at her wife's stomach. An old familiar feeling welled up inside her. Joy, pride, a maternal desire to give the lives in front of her everything. And a new sadness settled over it. Recluse was keenly aware that there was nothing she could give them, not even her presence as their mother.

It was a lot, and as Recluse crouched down and slowly reached out to nose at each one she couldn't help the tears that started to roll down her cheeks. The seperation between herself and the living felt worse somehow than it ever had. These kids would not have the memory of her touch the way the rest of her children did...

Even still her heart was swelling and she looked up at Sparrow, her wife and the mother of her children, somehow, and gave her a teary eyed grin. "They're gorgeous babe."
