*Gael*
I sighed as I sat in the waiting room with Milo, Koyuki, Bastian, and Setsura. We were waiting for word on Setsuka and the others.
My son glanced around the place and blinked a couple times.
Milo snickered. "Think he's remembering when he was born?"
I laughed. "Doubt it. For starters, he wasn't born in this hospital or any. Setsuka gave birth at home."
"Really?" Koyuki asked.
I nodded. "Yeah. The baby came a few days early and at night, so we had no choice."
Setsura smiled. "She was scared out of her mind. I tried to comfort her, but she wouldn't listen."
Milo scratched his head. "Setsuka, scared? That's hard to imagine."
I nodded. "Yeah. She rarely shows fear." Although, I'd seen it several times, it was still rare. The most recent being her concern that I might die, back in Taahid.
Setsura laughed. "That's true. But even she has her limits."
Milo smiled slightly. "Tell me more!"
