Redhawk Caldera But no one quite like I do

for some reason I mixed up April and may and jumped the gun on this thread LOL. Yay liquid time! I can update the time if we want though to be more accurate <3

She'd eat in a bit, but first she shifted slightly as her daughter settled in next to her. Maia couldn't get over how even that insignificant movement took so much. It was moving a boulder with a creek. Again she sent a silent hope that maybe they'd come early... she was so ready for them to be here and not here, inside her.

If you listen and feel here, they might move. If you talk, they might hear you. She hoped they wouldn't pick now to go shy. They'd been beating her poor organs for weeks now.

Luckiest kids in the world, to have her as a big sister. Just like Maia had been. Another quiet wave of sadness hit her, but it was slow and subtle and had a kind of peace about it. None of it was raw as it had been.

It had been close to a year, hadn't it?
