Hushed Willows Knowing

wrap up soon?

Olive’s eyes narrowed with the force of her smile. Aliac seemed pretty calm about the whole ‘impending motherhood’ thing, but Olive suspected there was probably something hiding behind her simple agreement — she was young, and likely didn’t know that there wasn’t anything wrong with sharing one’s vulnerabilities. That lesson came with time, but Olive did not want Aliac to suffer any anxiety because of it.

“Of course we’ll be here for you,” she continued. “And you have several of the best midwifes around to show you the ropes.” Seabreeze was not an official midwife, but she had nearly as much experience as Olive herself. Olive approach motherhood from a technical perspective, while Seabreeze approached it from a counseling background, and together the provided (what Olive considered) to be complete care for their patients. “As the mothers of Elysium, we all must watch out for each other,” with this, came an air of seriousness. There was about to be more at stake for the sanctuary than ever before.
