"As long as I need." I answered back, raising the blanket higher as I buried myself deeper under the covers of my bed.
"They're still going to be waiting for you, I get it, you're nervous about meeting your kids for the first time. But if you don't name there, and carry out the ritual of new birth, things could get a little complicated. They're hungry." Xaseah said as she pulled the blankets off my body.
I opened my eyes and watched them loom over my face with amused smiles etched across theirs. They obviously found my cowardice funny, nut I guess they were right, I had to see his through.
