Zephyr sat down and ate. There was little choice in the matter. At least the food was gloriously delicious -- better than she rememered. The creatures watched her eat but did not partake of the food though they seemed satisfied all the same. And when she was full the table disappeared and she was lead to a garden to relax.
"Sit. Relax. Enjoy." They left her to her own devices in a beautiful garden that reminded her of her childhood home. The place were Chris still lived and tended to the family name while she hunted. She thought about going back.
Maybe one day soon. Whenever soon was. How could they know she was pregnant? She didn't even know, she hadn't been prior to night with Jaxen just this evening, morning... She didn't even know what time it was.
The place was disorienting. Time passed differently and Zef fell asleep lounging in a chair by the ocean in the garden that never seemed to end.
zef dreamt of things she saw in the window -- the images of her son walking among gods and destroying them. His childhood, his birth, frightening things that would happen to him. Fear, and anger. Hatred. All emotions boiled into one endless dream.
And when she woke sweating, she was surrounded by those strange creatures. Not just those she'd seen before but others, they reminded her of foxes and snakes of varying colors. Their thin bodies and faces were alien, yet familiar. Like something she remembered in a dream. Not the dreams she'd woke from but childhood dreams.
Several of the creatures were reaching out to touch her when her eyes opened and they all scattered into the shadows except the midwife.
"You grow well."
Zef looked down and noticed an odd buldge in her shirt, her pants were tighter. What the fuck!
