After they got back into the new routine, they spent the next Two Month making sure that she was safe from not only her own mind and Emotions, but also made sure that she had limited contact with others.
Doctor Sebastian checked on the sick and injured that she wanted to help, but he always made sure that he bathed before he came near her. They didn't need to be carrying anything to her like what happened with the Plague. That was the First time that she really allowed them to help her.
The Cold Moons were about over, and the Breezy Moons were making its appearance. It was then that Scarlet had begun to act strangely.
She was about Six Months pregnant now and her belly had become big and round. She even had a waddle as she walked now. The group thought that it was the cutest thing, but also worried about her becoming injured so they mainly carried her around when she wanted to go somewhere.
One Night Scarlet who was sleeping peacefully suddenly woke up in a panic. The Group was fully prepared for this and took their assigned duties seriously as they comforted their Little Spirit.
This Night was different though.
Once Scarlet woke up it was hard for them to get her to calm down. She kept screaming, "Their coming! They want to kill me! I need to leave!"
It was the middle of the Night when she woke up and the Sun had begun to rise when they finally got her calmed down. Travis said, "My Heart, there is no One going to get past us. You and all of your Young are okay."
It was then that Scarlet looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "Do you remember when we First Met?"
Travis was taken back by the question and said, "Yes, I do. Did something hap…"
It was then that it hit him and said, "It's close to the time that you were sent here. Isn't it?"
Shaking her head she reached for Travis who was quick to get her in his lap and he wrapped his huge arms around her. Travis said, "They are not here, and you are. You are safe and they can't get to you ever again. Isn't that right everyone?"
They were quick to agree, and it was then that she had a huge mood swing and popped up with a huge smile saying, "Fuzzball do you know what that means?"
Stepping forward he shook his head and said, "No Mommy I don't. What does it mean?"
Scarlet squealed in excitement as she said, "It's close to your birthday baby!"
They all were curious as they tried to figure out what a 'Birthday' was. In the end it was Doctor Sebastian that said, "Birthday and in the day that he was brought into this Life?"
Laughing Scarlet said, "Yes that would be what a birthday is. The day that you were born." It was then that it hit her. She didn't know what their birthdays were, and she suddenly felt very sad.
Looking at each of them and said, "I just realized that I don't know what your Birthdays are."
The look on her face broke everyone's hearts completely to dust. Travis quickly said, "I was born at the end of the Hot Moons. I don't know exactly though."
Nick said, "Me too, but the beginning of the Hot Moons."
Alex reached his hand up and rubbed his huge palm on her cheek and said, "Snakes are usually hatched in the Breezy Moons. So, I think that was around the time I was born."
Doctor Sebastian kissed the top of her head and said, "I'm not sure when I hatched. I came across the Nest where we met when I was Young and grew up there. Here we don't celebrate when we are born."
Looking at all of them Scarlet felt sad for all of them. It was then that Parker and Soft Spot said that they didn't know when either and Scarlet said, "Soft Spot, sweetheart, When I found you, you couldn't have been more than a Month old."
Looking up at his Mother his big ears stood up and his little Fox face looked so cute, as he said, "Mommy, what happens when it's someone's birthday?"
With a smile she said, "The person's birthday is celebrated. Usually with a party and some presents."
It was then that they all got the idea and Travis said, "Well how about we have a party for Fuzzball on his birthday, and when it gets close to Soft Spots Birthday time, we can find a nice day to celebrate. Parker can pick a time he would like to celebrate his."
Nick had suddenly realized something and said, "Hey Little Spirit when is your Birthday?"
