When: Late Afternoon
Where: Head of Halcyon; Their Room
Who: Rozlyn and Axel

It was quiet in the house. Aidan was in his room with a movie, Axel was on guard duty, and Jadyn was finally asleep. She was there...just a few feet away...but Rozlyn couldn't bring herself to move back onto the bed and lay down with her. No Rozlyn sat on the floor, staring across the room at the small form. So tiny…so innocent…her calm breaths making her move just faintly beneath the blankets. A girl...Rozlyn knew always that there was risk of this and yet she had not been prepared for it.

Within the questions raged, a cycle that left Rozlyn feeling as though she'd very well snap under the force of them.

( What if.... )

When: Late afternoon
Where: Their room to start, then med clinic
Who: Rozlyn, Axel, Aidan and Xael

Rozlyn had been taking it easy as directed. Not by any doctor no, but by a large demon named Axel that gave her a good glare anytime she got up for too long or tried to fuss around the house. Apparently he and Aidan could handle it. He didn’t seem to get what a scary thought that was. So of course more then once while he was at his classes she’d gotten up and cleaned up around the house or saw to work. She still had her class after all and work didn’t just do itself no matter how handy that would be. Aidan was quick to help in any way he could. She allowed him to write the scores on papers and even had let him type a few things up for her. Which was a rather slow and tricky process but he liked to help! Never mind that it made her have to take even more time on that current project then it would normally take. That wasn’t the point.

Still as active as Rozlyn liked to be she was not able to be up and about for too long anymore. The kid was well and truly kicking her ass. Apparently in the last week it had decided that it was going to try to beat Aidan’s title for baby that kicked the most. It made relaxing rather difficult and sleeping all but impossible. Not that Rozlyn was sleeping well regardless. The dreams were less then friendly…and so she took exhaustion over being woken all shaken up. It wasn’t the best choice really but the kid wasn’t given her many other options. When she became really exhausted she drank a few teas with sleep aid and tried to get a full nights rest. Sometimes it worked…sometimes it really didn’t.

“Aidan what are you doing?” Rozlyn called from the bedroom where she was currently laying. Axel would be back soon from his later afternoon class but until then Aidan would be likely trying to get away with sneaking himself some treats or grabbing a few for Goliath. He tried to be a helpful little bugger and tried so hard to behave but he just couldn’t seem to say no to that amble opportunity to sneak candy since mom wasn’t looking.

“Nooottthiinnnnnggg.” That long drawn out sound was nothing but confirmation that he was indeed doing something he shouldn’t be. He hadn’t quite caught onto that fact yet. Rozlyn sighed, pushing herself up to her feet slowly. Her robe was tugged on, though the entire place was hotter then most would like it Rozlyn still managed to find way to be cold. Happened when a little demon was sapping all the heat and energy away from you.

“Nothing huh?” Rozlyn questioned as she walked down the hallway and into the living room. “You’re supposed to be resting!” Aidan protested loudly…how he thought sending her back to bed would work when he was currently standing on top of one of the counters she had no idea. “And you’re not supposed to be on the counters, so it looks like we are both being bad children.” Rozlyn remarked, crossing her arms against her stomach and giving Aidan that well known motherly look. “I was….ummm getting you tea!” oh nice save for Aidan. She couldn’t say he hadn’t been since she caught him before he got into the treat cabinet. Couldn’t have all those goodie sweets in the normal cupboard or Aidan would gobble them all down the moment that they were put away.

“Oh you were? Well that is very sweet of you but I think I’m okay with the drinks I have.” Which meant of course that before Axel left he had brought her tea, juice, water, and damn near anything else he could think of in some hopes that she wouldn’t get up too much while he was gone. “Oh…Okay” Aidan remarked, managing to suppress a pout for being caught. He climbed on down and Rozlyn couldn’t help but smirk. Poor boy really did think he was so sly sometimes. “How about we go watch a movie and maybe afterwards you can get a treat before dinner, our secrete.” That made his eyes light up all too quickly. “Okay!”

In a rush he came over, taking Rozlyn’s hand and walking back with her to her room where he’d been hanging out a lot now. Keeping her company after all. Once in the room the little boy climbed up onto the bed as Rozlyn went to the tv. “What movie do you want to watch?” she questioned and Aidan in all his excited glory began to bounce on the bed. Bounce bounce “Lets watch…” bounce bounce “Aidan! What did I tell you about bouncing on the be...” quickly he dropped to the bed at that mom stern shout, no more bouncing. But Rozlyn groaned slightly, pressing a hand to the table top near her. “Mom?” Aidan crawled to the edge of the bed and saw water on the floor. Or at least it looked like water. Little eyes went wide and as he heard the front door open he went dashing out to find dad.

“Dad I broke mom!!! I was bouncing and she got that mom voice and I stopped but I broke her I think!” If Rozlyn's water hadn't just broken she might have laughed for the little boys description of the event.
