Chapter 3: A Spirits worry
Disclaimer: I do not own captain planet and the Planeteers nor am I making any money off this story. The only thing I own are Gaia's twins.
Sometime within that week I don't remember if it was the middle nor towards the end or even the start of that week for that matter. All I know is that some little things began to change with my body both inside and out. Mainly the questionable thing that Linka and Gi had called mood swings. I naturally hadn't understood the meaning of the term and asked them and was quite surprised at their answer.
"You don't know what mood swings are Gaia?" Gi had asked as I shook my head.
"All women have them at some point in time Gaia, you've never had them?" Linka asked.
Once again I shook my head somewhat confused at this new hormone thing that apparently all women went through even if they weren't pregnant. "What are they exactly?" I inquired as I sat down in the sand and the girls sat by me.
"How to explain it...its kinda like when you go from sad, to angry, to happy, in a string of five seconds or more. And whoever is around at the time kinda has to suffer at the time especially when the woman is angry or wanting attention" Linka said.
"Oh?" I asked curious. "So what happens if a woman is having mood swings when she's not pregnant?" I asked.
"They're deemed bi-polar mostly or have a mental illness." Gi said as I blinked and crossed my arms over my chest.
"I guess I didn't know what they were because I've never had them." I said as I looked out at the ocean and brought a hand to my stomach as I looked out at the waves seeing a few dolphins as I smiled some at the tiny babies swimming with the pod as I cried a bit at how cute it was. I don't know why but that seemed to happen a lot when I thought something was cute.
"Gaia?" Linka asked.
"Mmm oh I'm sorry I was watching the dolphins." I said.
"Its alright, come on inside and we can tell you more." Gi said helping me up as we spent the whole day talk about what my body was going through for the next few months. Some of it frightened me and other parts made me think of things I shall not speak of.
"Anyway I think we've about covered most of it." Linka said.
"Which makes me wonder how you girls know so much about a woman being pregnant when you never have been yourself?" I said.
"Family, lots of reading and research." Gi said as I smiled and chuckled a bit. "Go on you two I need to rest, I'm suddenly really tired." I said falling back against my pillows.
"Sleep well Gaia." Linka said as I smiled and waved watching them leave as I slowly fell asleep.
I awoke several hours later nearly screaming as I looked around my little room and panted some bringing my hand to my chest. What was that...a dream, yeah that's what it was, surely it wouldn't happen these two were my miracles. But still, in my dream I had just given birth to my daughters, one alive and well my other...I don't even wish to think of it. I slowly calmed myself as I slid my legs to the floor and stood walking from my room and outside. To my surprise the Planeteers weren't on the beach. I frowned some as I looked around.
"Planeteers?" I called looking around as I knealed down and splashed some water on my face and stood.
"Where could they be? Planeteers where are you?!" I called again soon becoming frightened.
Where were they they wouldn't have gone off without telling me...would they? Of course they wouldn't maybe they were n their huts yeah that's it I'm just being paranoid. They're probably sleeping in their huts. So that is where I went up the steps as I peeked in frowning some not seeing them. I soon became more worried as I rushed from the hut and back onto the beach as I looked out at the ocean seeing their raft as I sighed in relif. They had only gone out rafting and were now returning. I smiled some as I ran into the water helping them pull the raft ashore as I hugged them.
"Gaia what's wrong?" Ma-ti asked sensing my worry.
"I was so worried you weren't here when I woke up. Don't worry me like that." I said frowning.
"Ah sorry Gaia we didn't want to wake you we didn't mean to worry you." Wheeler said as I smiled and nodded.
"Mmm...huh?" I asked running back to the crystal chamber.
"What is it Gaia?" Kwame asked.
"An Eco emergency Planeteers it seems an oil tanker has run aground spilling tons of crude Oil into the oceans." I said as I frowned.
"Planeteers let's go!" Kwame called.
"Becareful." I said as I watched them leave as I followed them out as the wind blew through my hair and I brought my hands to my head as I closed my eyes and looked at the sky. Spirits protect them.
