Objective: One on One between IceCreamFreak and Trick

Circe.
"I love you too Ash. So very much," she said gently. Circe winced again as the baby moved.

Vladus.
"If you hear anyone coming, let me know," said Vladus. He began to dig.

Circe.
"I hope so," she said softly. Circe looked at Icy. "Icy dear, are you excited?"

Vladus.
Vladus kept digging deeper.

Vladus.
"I left Irene with a babysitter," he said, hating the silence.

Circe.
Circe returned the smile weakly.

Circe.
"I think I'm more afraid than anything," she said. "Can you shut the door please, Ninetales?"

Vladus.
Vladus chuckled a little as he felt the fingers run along his back. "Well, I trust her. She's the head caretaker at the castle."

Circe.
Circe slowly got off the bed again.

Vladus.
"What do you mean?"

He is usually happy-go-lucky and carefree. All for his family.

"Please lay back down." he said.

Vladus.
"What changed that?"

Circe.
"I was going to get an old sheet so the bed doesn't get bloody."

I guess Sword's death.

"I'll get it. Just relax."

Vladus.
"I see. I wonder if he kept his side of our deal?" he wondered.

Circe.
Circe nodded and laid down on the bed. "It's on the top shelf in the closet. It's white."

Yogan looked confused. He promised something?

Ninetales went to the closet and pulled out a white sheet. "Breathe deeply to reduce pain." he said.

Vladus.
"Yes."

Circe.
Circe lifted up her lower body a little to remove her underwear and enable Ninetales to put the blanket under her. She did as he told her to, but the contractions were still a little painful.

I see. Yogan wrote. almost done?

Ninetales proceeded to prepare the room for birth, placing the blanket between her legs.

Vladus.
"Yes."

Circe.
Circe lowered herself back down and rested her hands on her stomach. She tried to keep herself calm.

He smiled and was silent for a little bit longer.

"Are there any complications I should worry about?"

Circe.
"What do you mean?" Circe asked.

"Like any condition you have or something concerning while the birth is going on.

Circe.
"Not that I know of. I'm really tired though and he's hurting me."

"Please keep awake," he said, "and push."

Circe.
Circe began to push, tears were forming from the pain.

"I am sorry Ash is not here." he said.

Circe.
"It's fine," she said. "Icy can't be alone."
