Golden Glade then they spoke, oh the word of the gods.

Eden squirmed silently at the cool touch of her cousin's snout then the warmth of her breath against her swollen belly. She even rolled her eyes impatiently as Estelle took care to say her prayers.

Ah, c'mon I wanna know now!

Eden smiled at the first few words. She expected there were quite a few babes within her based on how quick she swelled, yet to hear it said aloud made her ill with pride. It was a blessing to have such a healthy brood brewing, but it wasn't long before Eden forgot who she had to thank. Blinded by la satisfaction, Eden didn't even think about giving a silent thanks to Notre Mère. In hindsight, that might've been her biggest mistake.
To hear that there were five, to be exact, two girls and three boys, Eden let joy wash over her. Knowing that by them she would be able to remember her siblings brought her a moment of excitement, yet hearing that one of the children would resemble her aunt made her sick to her stomach.
Still, no matter how much she loathed Emèlie, she wouldn't hold it against her own young.
Eden also wasn't incredulous to Estelle's moment of confusion. It worried her to see her cousin's expression change in such a fashion, and she refused to let it go unspoken. Is everything okay? They're all okay, right? Eden smiled though nervousness now ran through her veins.
