//------------------------------// // Chapter 10 // Story: A Siren Tale // by Sparkling blaze //------------------------------// It's been a few months sense we all moved in with them. I admit at first I wasn't sure how it would work out but but it's been great. I didn't think it would happen but I've fallen in love with him. And Aria has too. But she's having a harder time, these people just aren't as accepting as they were back home. But I have been feeling very sick lately.Vomiting,nauseous,and just over all feeling bad. "Hey,Dagi are you ok?"Sonata asked. No.No I wasn't.But I wasn't gonna tell her. "Yeah of course I am." I tell her giving her a smile. "You sure?" She asked me. "You seem off." Sonata has always been sensitive to how other people are. "I'm ok Sonata." I need to get her mind off me. "Where's Aria?" I asked her. "I think she's out with Harriet."She said. Aria arrived,and as soon as she saw me,her face turned into a worried expression. "Adagio are you alright?You're really pale."She asked. I felt like vomiting right now. "Yeah I'm ok." "No you're..." Aria started to say but before she could say anything else I ran past her to the bathroom. I vomited a lot. "I knew it!" Aria shouted. "Knew what?" Sonata asked. "Me and you are going to be aunts." "Yay!" I kept vomiting and vomiting,I felt really weak. "Adagio?"Aria asked,I didn't manage to respond. I kept vomiting,and eventually felt really dizzy. "We need to get her to a doctor. Mom got bad too." I heard Aria say. "How? You know we can't go anywhere ourselves." Sonata told her. Harriet walked up. "Is everything ok?" "Harriet we need to get Adagio to the doctor." Aria told her. I didn't have any forces to even move,Aria and Harriet had to help me. When we got to the doctor what I thought was confirmed:I was pregnant. "Does my brother know yet?" Harriet asked me. "No not yet. I didn't even know till now. I'll tell him when he gets home." I got home,and waited for Albert to get home. I felt really weak,but given the doctor saying my pregnancy was risky it was normal.I needed to stay in bed. When Albert got home I was about to take a nap. I was already laying down when he came in the room and I patted the bed next to me. He got in bed kissed me then wrapped his arms around me. "How was your day love?" I asked him. "It was pretty good." "That's great." I told him. I have great news." "What is it?" "I'm pregnant." He hugged me: "That's amazing,Dagi." Unfortunately I'll have to tell him the bad part too. "But my pregnancy is risky,so I have to stay in bed."I tell him. "Oh, for how long?" "Until I have the baby." "Do what you have to do, I don't want anything to happen to you or the baby." The months flew by,and soon I was in my 7th month of pregnancy,I was just chatting with my sisters when the water broke. "The baby's coming girls." "What do we do?" Sonata asked. "Calm down." Aria told her "Freaking out won't help anyone." "But we need to do something." "Go get the midwife, she'll be able to help us." Deep down I know Ari was freaking out too.I started feeling really bad and then sunddely everything blacked out. I only remember waking up to the midwife telling me to push and both Aria and Sonata with really worried faces on. But soon I had not only one but two baby in arms,an boy and a girl.The girl seemed smaller,and really weak. "How are they?" I manage to ask feeling weak myself. "Your son looks alright, but your daughter..." The midwife said. "What's wrong with my baby?" I ask trying to get up but I can't. "Don't move!You're bleeding a lot." I start to get dizzy the next thing I know everything goes black. When I woke up,Aria was pacing around the room really worried,and it seemed to be an complete different day too. "Aria,what happened?"I asked. When she heard my voice she seemed relieved: "You're finally awake,you been passed out since yesterday.You worried everyone,you know?" "I was? What happened?" I asked still confused. "You had twins, things seemed alright. But you were bleeding a lot, then you passed out. Everyone thought you died." She walked over to me and I could see she was holding back tears. "If you ever scare me like that again I'll..I'll.." I reached out and hugged her tight. "I'm sorry." I said softly. Then I noticed I didn't see the twins. "How are the babies?" She sighed: "Your son is fine,but your daughter she died a few hours after you gave birth." No this can't be happening. It just can't be. "No, she she can't be..what..how?" I ask my head spinning. "She was born small, she was really weak. There wasn't anything anyone could do. Not even Sonata's magic was enough. She almost died trying to save her." "Is Sonata ok? How bad is she?" "She's going to be alright, she used to much magic but not enough to kill her... But I am worried about her. This'll probably make her worse and she's scared you're going to hate her for not being able to save your daughter." I had to fix that. "Call her here,Aria." She called Sonata and soon she was here,she seemed weak,worried and upset but when she saw me her face lightened up. "You're awake!"She hugged me. I hugged her tight. "I'm sorry I worried you. And thank you for what you did for my daughter." She started crying. "But but I couldn't. I tried as hard as I could." "I know you did. You almost died." "I'm sorry I couldn't save her." "It's ok Sony,you tried your best."We hugged for a bit more time and I asked."I want to see my son.Can you tell Albert to bring him here." Sonata left and soon Albert came to me with my son: "Hey Adagio, how you feeling?" "Better than I was, but still not the best. How's he?" He handed him to me. "Worried about his mommy." I kissed him on the forehead. "I'm sorry little one, I'm not going anywhere." "What shall we name him,huh?"Albert asked me. "How about Arthur?"I said. "Arthur,I like the sound of that." "Then Arthur it is." Honestly I felt really uneasy,I knew I was gonna outlive both Albert and Arthur but I was only gonna think about that when it happened. I'm also wondering if I should tell Albert what I really am. Would he understand and still love me, or would he think I'm a monster? I love him and don't want to lose him, but I also feel bad keeping it from him. "What if I told you I wasn't normal?" He laughed a little. "I could have told you that. I've never met anyone like you." "Oh I know plenty like me, but they're all back home." "We should go when Arthur gets older." "I hope we can." How I was gonna tell him I was a siren and his son was half-siren,and that I came here banished from another world? I moved over in bed. "Lay down with me for awhile? I don't think I'm ready to get up yet." He layed down next to me and he wrapped his arms around me. I'll worry about that later, right now I'm just going to enjoy what I have.
