We are Phamily

by fitzdillore22

Dan and Phil want to start a real family, the only problem is: they need a womb. The POVs go back and forth. From the newbie mother, to the preparing Phil, to the panicking Dan. It is an extensional crisis waiting to happen. KickthePJ is introduced in chapter 12. I write in short bursts (POVs), that's why there are so many chapters. Easy, quick passages to write, as well as read.

28. Chapter 28

It was dark.

Dark and warm.

Dark was good.

I liked the dark.

Dark, dark, dark, dark.

Then…

It was light.

Horrible, shocking light.

There was so much noise.

I didn't like it at all compared to my dark sanctuary.

I wanted to go back.

Dark was good, light was bad.

Suddenly, I heard something.

No, not something.

Someone.

A woman.

Above all else I heard a single woman screaming.

"Get. Out. Of. ME!" She demanded.

Who was she talking to?

Wait.

Could it be, was it, me?

Was I the one that was causing her so much pain?

I didn't want to hurt her anymore, even if it meant losing my dark, warm place.

So I called back.

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving, I'm out, see?"

She stopped screaming which was a relief.

Then someone a different, less important woman asked someone.

"Dan, would you like to cut the umbilical cord?" She seemed rushed and pressed for time.

"Sure." The one named Dan obeyed.

I knew something had happened but I didn't feel anything.

People applauded then I was taken away.

I was thoroughly confused but I didn't want to ask because the answer was one that others have feared for many lifetimes:

I am dead?
