“You’re going to make a wonderful mother.” He whispered more to himself than to her, he had learned from his mistakes with Shivali. The sister he had once been so close to and yet had pushed away. He wouldn’t do the same thing with Takiyok. No, this was her life and she had the right to live however she wanted.

He had no doubts that she would make a wonderful mother. And his own lack of skill in the area clawed at his heart. He couldn’t do it! Not again. He couldn’t ruin their lives just as he had Shivali’s children. Slowly he rose, and took a few steps away. It would be easier to leave now, and save his sister the heart ache of his dissent in to madness. To save his family from himself.
