Larksong Grotto Day By Day

Spending time with Grace had done Nova well, but nothing compared to the feeling of seeing her own baby again - Alyssum had lifted her spirits in ways that only her children could. 

She had to go home though, to her half sister - but the elder fully intended on finding her again soon. Before Winter set in for sure, but right now there were bigger things to attend to. For one, she felt inclined to check on Jhala - she was due any day now, and despite the last time they'd met Nova wanted to make sure everything was okay. Padding across the path that would take her to the lake, Nova followed the freshest scent of the darker woman.

Dangling delicately from her jaws was a wide oak leaf - within it were herbs the elder planned to give to the mother-to-be for her birth. Nova knew there was no way she'd be allowed close during the labor, and her words were liable to be ignored: if she could give the Grand Vicar the herbs now to keep in her den, she would be more likely to eat them. Raspberry leaves to ease birthing pains, Borage to help her milk flow, and just a tiny bit of Thyme to keep any anxieties away. The easier birth could be on Jhala, the better life would be for everyone - including the babes in her womb.
          

Gonna be vague about Ally but here you go @Jhala
