Wishes Fulfilled, Ch. 3

"Morning Sickness? What's tha... Oh... wait..." Skuld's eyes bugged out in surprise as she looked at Belldandy. "MORNING SICKNESS! But how! I've never! I mean..." Her blush radiated brightly, face flushing with embarassment. "But Onee-chan... How?" She finished weakly, confused.
Belldandy was glad that she was the one to be here for all this, as she doubted that Skuld would ever believe anyone but her, and it seemed like even believing her was a stretch. Nodding lightly towards the glass, she considers for a moment. "Drink up. You need your fluids." Pursing her lips in thought, she snaps her finger suddenly. "Skuld! Your first wish!"
Skuld had to pause and think for a moment before her eyes widened in shock, followed by a small nod. "Oh..." She looks up toward the ceiling, frowning lightly. "Daddy, this is your fault!" She yelled, shaking a fist, quite upset. Flopping down onto the side of the bathtub, she takes a drink of her water, shaking her head slowly. "Onee-chan, what can I do? What should I do?"
Walking over to her little sister, Belldandy, wraps her arms lightly around Skuld's head, pulling her close and hugging her softly. "Well, you're going to be a mommy, Skuld. You've got to figure out how, but don't worry, you've got me, and Keiichi, and even Urd to help you." She was worried about her little sister, as she knew that this was going to take a huge adjustment to Skuld's whole life, but she had faith that Skuld would be fine. Leaning down, she brushes a bit of hair out of her imouto-chan's face before pressing a soft kiss to her forehead. "Just believe in yourself, Skuld, and you should do fine."
Nodding distractedly and looking at the floor, Skuld sighed, still feeling quite a bit of shell shock. She just didn't feel like this was fair, or that she was ready for this. Doubts flittered around her mind, filling it and swarming her until she wrapped her arms around Bell's waist, holding her close, needing that warm comfort. "I'm just so scared, Onee-chan... what if I do a bad job? I mean, I don't..." She stops herself from saying that she didn't want the baby. It wasn't fair to the little one inside of her, and she had to start thinking of more than herself. "I don't want to be a bad mother." Looking up at Belldandy with tears slipping down her cheeks, her expression almost broke the older sister's heart. "Will you teach me what I need to do?"
Smiling gently down at her little sister, Belldandy nods. "Of course I will, Skuld. First though, you need to get cleaned up and we need to get you some food in you. You're probably going to end up eating more than you're used to, but it's perfectly okay, since you're going to need your energy for this. And eat lots of ice cream."
Shakily, Skuld nodded, closing her eyes and taking a deep steadying breath. "I've just never thought that something like this would happen, you know?" Opening her eyes, she looks up at Belldandy, feeling a little better, but still rather lost in the metaphorical woods. "But at least I know I didn't kill that poor girl. I guess I'm going to be taking care of her now."
Looking down, she gently pokes her stomach, allowing the first few hints of a smile to cross her lips. "Now you be a good girl and don't give me any hassle, you hear me?" She knew that was highly unlikely, but she couldn't help but try, right?"
Alright, I know it's been awhile since I last updated this, and this looks a lot shorter in this format, and for that, all I can say is that I'm sorry. RL has sort of been a bit hectic. I have the next chapter in mind, so all I really need to do is get it down on paper. So don't worry! I haven't given up yet! Stay tuned for the next installment of Wishes Fulfilled!
