Moonspear bargaining (part 1)

for either @Pie OR @Pauk! (i'll post another for the other one right after.) family is welcome too, of course. <3

Sialuk felt the nausea come on strong, and a fresh pile of vomit laid at her feet just outside the ulaq. She wondered if this was some kind of sign of what was to come. Her pregnancy had not been difficult, but her mental and emotional state were less than to be desired. With Maggak, she had never once felt as though any hope had been lost. This year was different. Talisman was dead. Argent had left them. If @Killdeer or @Chakliux had visited, Sialuk had scarcely acknowledged it.

@Elentari was an ever-present face, but even her light was surely dimmed by their lover's departure. The father to @Acrux without a doubt, and a father to @Maggak in all the ways that mattered.

She both shivered and panted as she retreated to the ulaq, calling nobody to her aid that was not already there. The contractions began, as she knew they would, and there was no force on earth that could stop what had been put in motion.
