After spending another hour or so talking and paintng in the warren with Bunny, Jackie excused herself, knowing it was time to find Sandy.
After officially taking the Guardian oath, the group of Childhood protectors went into North's sleigh. Jackie then passed out from exahaustion and pain with the minute she sat down, leaving North, Bunny and Tooth to explain to Sandy what happened in the time he was gone.
Tooth told Jackie when she woke up again later that Sandy had spent hours working and using his whips, slicing through all of North's exercise equipment.
Sandy would start to be busy as soon as six p.m, along with Tooth, but Tooth had her tooth helpers.
Jackie was sitting on a cloud of dream sound next to the small spirit man, watching him make his small dream communication signs. Sandy had been trying to teach Jackie how to understand his signs, and he was a very patient teacher.
"Oh, so like, if you made a snowflake then a question mark, that would mean where am I? You don't use any small words like 'is' or 'are'?"
Sandy nodded in encouragment.
Sandy then made a outline of Toothiana, then a regular tooth, a piece of candy, then a big X.
"...Uh...Tooth...Oh! Tooth doesn't like candy because it rots teeth?" Jackie asked.
Sandy gave a big thumbs up with a smile.
Jackie grinned. She loved spending time with Sandy, he was a very good listener and always had good answers. Jackie's stomach churned a little though, both from first trimester nausia and nervousness, for she knew the main reaosn she had made plans to meet with the spirit.
"What would your symbol for child be?" Jackie asked, twidling her thumbs.
Sandy made a young human form, clearly a little boy.
Jacqueline nodded thoughtfully. "And a...baby?"
Sandy easily made a small infant baby.
Jackie sighed. "Can I try to make a few sentances, and you see if there corect?"
Sandy nodded again.
Jackie concentrated and made a turtle outline in a ball of frost forming in her hand, then a thumbs up and a smiley face.
Sandy blinked a few times before spelling out each word in sand, 'You like turtles because they make you happy?'
Jackie grinned. "Yeah! Okay, one more?"
Sandy gave a thumbs up.
"Okay umm..." Jacqueline then made a snowflake, then a baby shape.
Sandy looked dumbfounded, 'You...like babies?'
Jackie shook her head. She then began to make more frost patterns.
She made a baby symbol and then the shape of a pregnant woman.
'A woman is pregnant with a baby?' Sandy guessed, shrugging.
Jacqueline's nose twitched in annoyance. "No...one sec."
Jackie began making swirling patterns and then made a pregant woman symbol, a equal sign, then a snowflake.
'Your pregnant?' Sandy guessed again, eyebrow raised in question.
Jackie nodded. "Yeah."
Sandy shook his head a little, confused. He made his symbol for explain.
Jackie sighed. "I'm pregnant."
Sandy then encased the little girl with a monster hug for such a little man.
After letting go, Jackie stared into the man's eyes. "You...your not..."
Sandy made the signs for, 'Are you happy to be a mother?'
Jackie nodded silently.
'Then i'm happy for you.'
Jackie threw her arms around Sandy this team, a few tears of joy streaming down her cheek.
