Chapter 19: Idle waiting.
Piccolo stood at the cave's mouth as the spring breeze smoothed over his skin before moving on though the air. His eyes fell shut to listen to the melody that filled the darkened forest below. From the crickets singing to the soft ever present murmur from the rustling trees as the wind wove through their branches.
He had manages to quite his thought for a few moments, and was cherishing it. Even with his mediation, and strong mental focus, his mind had been reeling from the events of the past few weeks.
Eve was pregnant. The woman he had fallen in love with was now going to have a child. He opened his eyes to gaze down at the sparkling lake beyond. It was all happening too fast. He had never known love like this, and now he had a woman and child in his care.
'..Its like a family.' he thought vaguely as he turned, looking into the cavern at his back. 'This is insane.'
Piccolo's feet carried him to stand over her as she was sleeping. She slept a lot lately, especially just after sunset. The transformation took so much from her, even after taking a sensu bean.
"What is it about you?." he whispered, talking aloud to himself. But he received an unwanted reply.
-------------------------
"Must be my dazzling personality." She smiled brightly and opened her eyes. Eve was cheerful most of the time now. Piccolo was letting her and her child stay indefinably, and nothing could have pleased her more. Even being pregnant by a rogue tiger's seed couldn't dampen her spirits. In fact she was excited about her child. Her biological clock had been ticking for several hundred years if she thought about it. She had wanted a child for quite some time, even if she didn't realize it herself.
". Yes Piccolo, admit it you are hopelessly in love with me." She slowly sat up watching his reaction, which was a curt shake of the head and a grunt. Yes he even rolled his eyes.
". Don't kid yourself woman its hopeless pity for you. You are indeed pathetic." Was her answer. Eve laughed warmly; she could easily hear the sarcasm woven throughout his words. Eve had long since erased any doubt of his love for her. She knew it, and she knew he did as well.
Her eyes drifted down her stomach, which had doubled in size in little over a month's time. 'How much bigger can I possible get?' she often questioned. The pains at sunset were also getting worse as her size grew, even Piccolo showed concern at times.
Eve smoothed her hand over her belly and sighed 'Only a month left.'
--------------------------
Piccolo watched her attention drift to her unborn child. 'Something makes me think she doesn't believe me. women, clever creatures, stubborn, but clever.' He then moved to the back of the cave and sat down to meditate for a while.
His onyx eyes slowly fell shut, and everything around him grew much clearer. The sound of the fire crackling became deafening as he could also clearly hear the moth beating its wings across the cave. His eyes twitched as he also heard the twin heartbeats of Eve and her offspring. The later was much swifter, almost too fast in his opinion. But he'd be the first to confess to not knowing anything about human offspring, or even namake offspring for that matter.
His thoughts then narrowed, and his surrounding melted away into darkness. His mind grew focused and his meditation truly began.
-----------------------
Eve sat up and moved to face the fire. The flames warmed her skin, and lit her form in his golden light. Her thoughts began to drift off, as if the very breeze lifted them and swept them into the moonlit sky.
She started to wonder about the future, as she often did. 'What will you look like?' her mind was cluttered with many different ideas of what her child would look like.
Most of her hoped he would be all right, and inherit all of her genetics, and appear human. But she had a feeling that wouldn't be the case. She feared when all was done, she would look down upon a baby tiger cub with white fur and obsidian stripes.
Her eyes softened. It didn't really matter to her. She would love him no matter what, even if he had six legs and was blue with three tails. He would he hers.
It was funny though. She frequently considered Piccolo the father. 'He would have a stroke if he knew that I saw him that way.' Her eyes drifted down her abdomen again, she placed her left hand on her shirt and pulled the soft fabric up until she saw her naked stomach.
Her eyes soften against as she felt her baby shift and then she laughed faintly as it kicked her. 'Piccolo will most likely have some fun with you. You are already fighting.'
Eve grunted as she kicked again, but this time it was rougher, and she could see it. The area that rose was about 3 and half inches in diameter. "Whoa. Big foot.. or hand.." she gulped softly 'I hope he doesn't kick any harder.'
----------------------------------
Piccolo's breathing as steady and rhythmic as his mind was silent and his body relaxed. This was rare, because lately he couldn't seem to meditate as well.
His thoughts were swaying in and out smoothly as if they were the tide.
He suddenly saw himself sitting in daylight, and he heard a child giggling. "Dada, when can I fly? I wanna be like you." His eyes shifted up to the voice, but the sun flooding from the cave mouth blinded him but for a silhouette. It appeared human about two feet tall and a ..tail?
The surprise was enough to jar him from his meditative state. His eyes narrowed "A tail?" he whispered
"What Piccolo?" he heard Eve from behind him. "..Nothing.." he sighed heavily and turned to look at her. She was looking into the fire intensely, her hands lightly grasping her stomach.
As much as he felt for her, the swollen stomach seemed to strike an odd note with him. ' How can she even stand being in that condition.I would have gone mad weeks ago.'
His eyes were on Eve, but his mind was far off, wondering what he had seen, and why.
Tah Dah!!.. yeah I know it was shorter, but hey, at least it was better than the last chapter, or at least the end of the last chaptershudders sorry again for the lack of detail, I wasn't quite myself.
This is just a filler. Nothing really important happened, but just wait, the next one will be soo full of stuff, you guy won't know what to do!
The Next chapter..lets just say Piccolo is gonna be a daddy girlish squill Mwhahaha!
