Forming A Bond
So here's the next chapter, prolly later than you thought it'd be up but hey. I really can't think of anything to say at the start of chapters anymore so I'll just get on. Thanks for all the reviews (Hazel-Beka and Forfirith).
Hazel-Beka-Kai's OOC because, um…well, isn't everyone when they want something badly? Kai and Kano also weren't very drunk so they knew what they were doing. Even so it probably could be a soap opera (You'll have to take that one up with Izzy when she gets back.)
Izzy- Ok I really put a lot into these characters and I really didn't appreciate that comment. Real life is like that – wake up and smell the coffee.
Chapter9 – Miseria Cantare
#"Kano, why's Izzy all sad?" Izzy heard Max's question in the hallway right outside her darkened bedroom. The only source of light in her room was a couple of candles and the moon.
"Um…she's just a bit down." Kano answered, her tone indicating how worried and uncomfortable she was. Kano was pregnant, and still had her baby, unlike her friend.
"I'm going to give her a hug." Izzy nearly started to cry again until she realised that the tears had never stopped in the first place.
"Izzy?" A light from the hall added to Max's angelic appearance by making his hair glow. The door shut with a soft click and Max made his way to Izzy's bed, the candles casting strange shadows and making the room look eerie.
"Hiya…Hug?" Before Izzy could reply, Max had plonked himself in her lap. He touched her slightly pudgy tummy.
"Did you at all the pudding?" Max asked with complete childish naivety. Izzy sobbed loudly, turning her head so her hair acted as a curtain for her tears.
"I'm sorwy. Don't cry." Max insisted pushing Izzy's hair pack.
"Max. Go away."
"No. Not until you smile."
"Max! Go away!" Izzy's yell made Max drop his hands to his sides, get up off her lap and head towards the door. Wordlessly Izzy got up out of her bed and scooped Max up mumbling her apologies. Max touched Izzy's bump gently as he lay back on her bed.
"What is the 'bump'?"
"Well Max…" Izzy paused, chewing her lip. How did you explain losing your baby to a young child? "I wished and hoped for a little baby. Then I did have a baby, but my little baby had to go live with the angels…"
"Oh." Max reached up to twirl a strand of blue hair in his small fingers, "So you miss the baby?"
"Yes, very much." Izzy replied, cuddling Max. Reaching behind her Izzy grabbed her hi-fi remote. As Izzy pressed play Evanescence's Everybody's Fool overtook the silence. #
So there you have it. Poor, poor Izzy and Max. Oh well, I guess that's how life is. Next chappie should be up soon.
