Damian's story

Chapter 2: Patience

(Internal point of view: Kanna Hart)

2 hours later after Ziggurat sent my parents home ...

I was taken to a strange citadel with a high tower, where I was placed in a bed in the infirmary where a doctor is fiddling with my belly before Dr. Ziggourat who is watching me with a man a little big But with a very nice face, and seeing his white clothes covered with dirt, I deduce that it is a chef. His brown eyes shine with concern about me, as I push back the doctor's hand saying

- Is that all right? Leave my belly alone !

The doctor gets up a little embarrassed and declares to Ziggourat and me

- There are no worries to be had for the moment ! The baby develops and behaves correctly! I think there will be no problems when this baby comes into the world ! I saw Ziggourat nod, but I am happy to hear this good news, and as I stroke my belly, I feel my baby moving, I can not help but chuckle when I see him move in my belly.

Suddenly, at the door of the infirmary I see a man with dark blue hair a little bristling at the tips listening to all that is said at the door while smoking a cigarette

- Did you hear Ridley ? Asked Ziggurat, turning to the man, he allows himself to enter the infirmary and to approach me, only by his presence he succeeds in scaring me, then out of anxiety, I cover my Belly a little rounded and told him

- Do not even touch me ! Ridley raises his eyebrows and then turns his heels, and when he turned, I thought I saw a little white device in the hollow of his ear: Ridley would be deaf ?

A few minutes later...

Ziggourat told me that he was going to send someone to watch me during the whole pregnancy, outraged I tried to defend myself by telling him

- What next ? I do not need babysitter, and then you put me uncomfortable, I would not want my child later to do to you, leave us me and my baby!

- I'm sorry, my dear Kanna ! But it is impossible for me to do this, at first I thought you would not keep this child and yet ... It is still developing in you and you will certainly bring it into the world during I think the month of December or January, it will finally depend ... if there is no problem during your pregnancy of course! Ziggourat replied with a slightly sadistic smile, his words sounded like a threat in my ears.

Then I hear him say to his chef still present with us

- Hold on, Allan! Since you love children and you always have that craze of constantly busy people, I think you are the perfect person to help our dear Kanna to be as relaxed as possible so that there is no problem With the baby!

- Very good Dr. Ziggourat ! Nods this famous Allan.

The evening arrives ...

Allan brought me home and took with him a little boy about 5 years old with short hair of burgundy color and dark green eyes. This little child is called Jack Riperl.

The chef then asked me nicely if I had a room available for the little Jack already frolicking through my house, I watched him touch some of my animal figurines and then my sheets of printer

- Jack! Do not touch the affairs of others, it's rude! The head resumes a little embarrassment of his behavior, Jack releases the leaves a little sad and said

- Sorry Allan! He apologizes, personally this little Jack is pretty cute, he looks like a wise child, so I decide to give him a colored pencil case plus a pack of 10 sheets

- Well, you can draw on it if you want ! His eyes widened with happiness, he thanked me and then immediately began to draw on the floor of my living room.

The night falling, as I go up to go to bed, the chief concerns me

- Kanna! (I turn to him) I wanted ... apologize for imposing my presence like that at home! I understand that it must be difficult for you, especially at this moment I ...

- Good ! I interrupted him coldly. I do not need your apologizes, after all, it's not like you are going to leave home, all I hope is that you will respect my property and my privacy of course .. So I know you're being forced to do this, so do not use your saliva to tell me ridiculous things! I said to him before going up to my room.

There I lay down in my bed and then began to think about the future of my child: What would I like it to be later? What will be his choices later? And especially ... how am I going to call him?

It is then that I find the carton of clothes of my mother putting away next to my chest of drawers, I catch it and take only the garments of boys inside, the fabric is so soft when my fingers touches this little onsie blue, then looking up, I see a name engraved in gold letter: It is this name that I want to give my baby later !

4 months later ...

I am almost at the end of my eighth month, my stomach has been well rounded since the time and my baby has developed well at the same time. Every morning I feel it move in my belly, as if to say « I'm here and I'm fine ! ».

In an afternoon when I was resting on my chair, little Jack came to see me with his innocent look

- Why is your belly so big ? He asked me with curiosity

- It's because I have a baby inside ! I replied that while Allan came back into the living room to offer me something to drink, Jack began to shake and panic while pulling Allan's shirt

- Allan! She ate a baby, we must help her and fast! A screaming little Jack, we laughed at myself and Allan

- What's so funny, is serious ! Called Jack Jack, he put his hands on my stomach and began calling my baby, Allan then took her in his arms and explained

- No Jack, you misunderstood ! Kanna did not eat her baby is that her baby is not yet born !

- Not yet born? Asked Jack intrigued.

- Yes Jack! My baby is in my belly because he has not finished preparing, and when he is ready, he will come among us, but we will have to wait several more days before he is finished! I explained, Jack then calmed down a bit even though the explanations were not very precise ... but it is a small child must not forget !

Jack asks to get out of the arms of Allan, then he comes back to touch my belly asking me

- And he can not come right away ? I replied that unfortunately it was much too early for him to come into the world now and that he had to be patient, Jack then displayed a disappointed look muttering

- But I want to see him ! His impatience made me smile, it was then that my baby began to move, Jack jumped and then laughed

- Where is he ? Asked Jack trying to find him, I then guided his little hand to the left side of my belly where my baby was, Jack laughed saying

- Hey ... I feel it, it's there ! I laught.

It is then that my gaze has landed on Allan who is a little embarrassed, it shows that he very want to share the joy of Jack to play with my baby, I sigh then told him

- Are you waiting for an invitation card to join the game ? He is surprised when I signal him to approach, there I grabbed his big hand and put it on my belly, it also felt my baby move, I saw a delighted smile draw on his lips.

At night fall, I go to bed, but before I can lie down, I was taken from a brutal contraction that forces me to sit on the floor and I see a black raven at my window , At first I thought it was a simple bird in insect hunting ... but this one was different!

He was not noisy like his fellows, he seemed to emit the sound of a Beyblade top in action, yet he looks very real compared to the spirits of the top, his black feathers had a blood red color at his tips, and The bird kept staring at me. My body trembled when I felt a cold chill in my back, suddenly I turned around: No one !

I would have sworn that someone was behind me !

This is for chapter 2, I hope it will have pleased you despite the length of the beginning, but believe me interesting things will not be long to arrive. Stay to the end of the story and you will understand very soon, but before here are my little questions:

- If you have followed the beginning of the story, in your opinion from which Kanna's thrill comes, and what does this raven that she saw at her window mean?"

- Do you think that things will happen in the next chapter?

I make you big kisses and tell you very quickly for chapter 3 !
