King sonic X Sir lancelot: chapter 3
A few days had passed and i was hungry and thristy. I was a bit dazed aswell. I was tired for i didn't want to take any sleep before reaching my mother. Something made my horse halt and fell from it out of exhaustion and starvation. He felt someone cup my cheeks in her hands. It was obviously a woman's. The woman told me that it was okay before i slipped completely into unconciousness.
I woke up later on in the familiar home of the place i raised up in. I sighed in relief and sat up. I noticed a cloth around my chest, it was obviously because i was getting breasts to feed my kids. I noticed that they looked bigger because of the cloth. "honey?" I heard a heartwarming voice say and looked at the doorway and saw my mother, the lady of the lake, standing in it with a small, worried, smile. "mother." I said and watched her walk towards me. I smiled, but frowned at the letter she was holding for i knew who the letter came from. "that letter is from the king isn't it?" I said and my suspicions were confirmed when my mother nodded. "in the letter he explained me why you were here." She said and sat down. She laid a hand on my belly and smiled sadly at me. "i must say. i am very happy gratefull that i'm going to have a grandchild." The lady of the lake said smilling. She had a sad glint in her eyes. Obviously she was sad that i was forced to leave the fatehr of my child behind. Upon remembering i sighed in sadness and looked down. Even after a few day i still couldn't believe he could do this to me. My mother told me to lay down and i did what i was told. I fell asleep not to long after.
The months passed and my scars of the past remained deep. But i tried my hardest not to think about it. Instead i did my best to stay as healthy as possible to have a healthy birth for the baby. As the months passed by, my belly grew bigger and so did my breasts. Those things weight a bit and i hoped these wouldn't stay. But another part wanted to keep them. Maybe i could stay here or live in a nearby village as a mother. My desicions were made. If they were to stay on my chest i would go with either of those desicions.
Some more months passed and i now was in my 9 month. I had difficulty getting out of bed and washing myself, but my mother helped me alot during this time. She even washed me like she used to when i was a kid. I felt a bit childish during those times.
And being in my ninth month, my baby's birth was approaching fast. And on one day it hit me. I was reading a book when i felt my contractions becoming more painfull by the minute. The lady of the lake knew instantly that it was time and told me to go and lay down in my bed. Which i did with a bit of difficulty.
I laid in my bed and saw my mother arrive with a bowl of warm water and towels. She helped me strip down from my clothes and helped me back in bed and checked how far i was. I laid there waiting for the time that i could finally start pushing.
A long time, or what seemed long for me, passed before my mother told me that i should push when i felt the next contraction come. When i felt it come i started push according to her directions. "m-mother? is this supposed to hurt this much?" I asked her and she showed a pitying smile. I knew that it was supposed to hurt so much by that. I took a deep breath and pushed again.
Hours passed before i felt that the baby had completely left me. I closed my eyes and panted. "it's a boy." I heard my mother said and i opened my eyes to look at him. I smiled in happiness when i saw my mother holding a white baby hedgehog. I reached for him and she handed him to me. My mother took him again and wrapped him in a blanket to keep him warm and gave him back. I smiled tiredly and watched him nuzzle into my chest. "he's hungry." The lady of the lake said and helped me feed him. It was weird, but i guessed i would be getting used to it some time.
My son, who i had called galahad, fell asleep after his belly was fully. I smiled with a tired smile and fell asleep. Before i fell asleep completely
