Diary of a Madman's Son
2/7
Seymour Reiko Guado is no longer an only child! I'm all happy spunky! Father is crazy joyful, though.
Mother was screaming last night when I was writing in my journal. She was "in labor" as Trommel told me, for over fifteen hours! Father was out in the front room with me, his servant trying to hold him back from breaking the doors down. Poor old guy almost lost his throat to Father's anger. Eventually, though, Father hung his head and began to cry, every now and then attempting to break free from Trommel's grasp, though he couldn't.
"Airella! Airella!" He kept screaming, trying to get to her. He as finally forced to sit down, though he lunged up at every sound that came from his and Mother's room.
Few times, Father scares me, but today, both Mother and Father scared me to no end. The tears were welling at the sound of Mother crying like she was, but they were flooding down at my cheeks to see Father's own tears cascading down his face.
I don't think it's the first time I've seen it, but it's the first time I've noticed it… Guado cry, they tear little droplets of blood. Then again, I've never seen other Guado cry blood… then again; I've never seen other Guado cry… Mother's not Guado, although she does cry a lot. Maybe it's just a health defect with Father, or something inherited from his decades of endured turmoil as a child.
Finally, just as Father was settled down, there was a loud scream of Mother, followed by the tiny crying of a tiny child. In an instant, Father crashed through the doors of the room, scaring the mid wife half to death and causing the crying to heighten in loudness. I followed him in where lying next to Mother underneath a blood soaked sheet was two little babies, already armed with their little Guado claws and little Guado fangs, both having a little bit of blue fluff on the tops of their heads. One was crying loudly while the other was just moving around.
"Lord Seymour Guado and Airella Guado, Mrs. Lord Seymour, have now been blessed with three children: their oldest, Seymour Reiko Guado Junior, and two twins, Sergio Guado and Megalla Guado!" is what was spread around Spira practically overnight.
We have so many neighbors and people from all the way over to Kilika bringing us food so Mother doesn't have to worry about cooking so she can, "Stay off her feet and take care of those tiny monsters!" My little siblings? Monsters? Yeah.
Mother's second best friend ever (the girl whose family Grandfather sent Mother to live with when he separated her and Father), a gothic chick named… "Paine?" Yeah… clichéd… Anyhow, she came over with her two friends, some blonde-haired woman and some brown-haired woman, both equally stupid and lacking in the brain department.
They got here at five in the morning. Paine changed the bloodstained sheets of the bed while Yuna, the brunette, and Rikku, the blonde, washed off the twins and put diapers on them, then began to dress them up as if they were fashion dolls.
Once the bed was changed, Paine crawled up into it with Mother and began talking together about everything and nothing at all. Yuna and Rikku began to cook breakfast for those of us who were going to be up at six… yeah, right… I think we'll all sleep in until at least noon now… at least I will. Anyone who wakes me up then is LUNCH!
Father took the babies with him to give the girls time to speak alone. He had the biggest smile I've ever seen when Megalla was sucking on his finger while Sergio slept on his lap. It was cute. I'm dead. I'm sleeping. Until later…
