Blaylock Ghardian
*Going out of John's room looking for one of my Xbox games, he told me that had borrowed to Qhuinn and I sigh and growl for myself. Qhuinn is the last person right now I'd like to find. We are avoiding each other and it's so better for me. I can live in peace with this distance between us. Walking toward Qhuinn's suite, I knock on the door once and stand there in soldier position waiting him to answer*
Qhuinn Ghardian
*Relaxing on my bed, there's a knock on the door. I'm not expecting anyone and patrolling isn't for another few hours. Whoever it is is persistent, the pounding quick and efficient sounding.* Hold your damn horses, will ya? *I swing the door open and see Blay, standing weirdly* Yo, whats up, Bro? Come on in.
Blaylock Ghardian
*I hold my breath as I see Qhuinn using just a black shirt and shorts and so many thoughts cross my mind that I have to shake my head to find the connection to the real world again. I step inside his room just nodding at him and trying to search for the words in my brain to make a full sentence. Not looking at him and desperately trying not to sniff the air and smell his scent I answer as formal as I can* Good evening Brother. I am just looking for my Call of Duty game. John said that I would find with you. Since today is my day off and Saxton is not around tonight, I'll spend my time playing.
Qhuinn Ghardian
Good evening, Brother? *I eye Blay and chuckle* What's with the formal speak? *I sit on the couch and start rifling through the stack of video games on the coffee table* Yeah, John brought it over the other night and we played a little. The graphics are fucking wicked, true? *finding it, I toss it to you and you catch it with ease. You look so different - standing rigid and uptight. Something's up. You look almost uncomfortable* What's doing, Blay? Haven't seen you all week. Come take a load off.
Blaylock Ghardian
*I don't move just watching you do what you have to do. I don't touch your hand when you toss me the box of the dvd and I move toward the door to keep the distance. You know me better than I know myself and you know I changed with you. The thing is you just can't realize that you are making me change this way. I can't stand being close to you and nice at the same time. You ignored my existence for so long and it's time for me to do the same shit. Ignoring your comment about the game I just nod again* Nothing wrong, Qhuinn. Nothing to talk about. I'm going now. Have a nice evening.
Qhuinn Ghardian
Like fucking hell. *I move quickly and block your exit with my arm* What's with the cold shoulder, Blay? You can't sit and shoot the shit with your best friend? *I study the hard resolve on your face. There is so much distance between us and you've closed yourself off for me* What's got your panties in a bunch? Something bugging you? *I pause, trying to figure out what's happened* Something between you and ... *I hate saying his name most days* my cousin?
Blaylock Ghardian
*I take a deep breath pressing the stick of my nose, counting to ten just to not slipt out all the shit. I don't need it. It's just another pain.* Since fucking when you are so interested in what happen to me? But for your information, and I'm trying to figure out why the fuck I'm giving you an explanation, everything is perfectly fine between me and your cousin. So Qhuinn, I don't have a fucking shit to talk to you right now. So could you please, excuse me and get the fucking out of the door and let me go!
Qhuinn Ghardian
Are you for real talking to me like this? *I don't lower my arm and stare at you. I can smell the heavy scent of your Dunhills and deeper ... anger* This is me, Bro. Your boy Qhuinn. Whatever's fucking with your head just let it out. *You shoulder bump me, attempting to move and I grab the back of your neck.* Quit fighting me and talk. Fuck, I thought we were beyond all this *You shrug out of my grip and glare at me* Now sit your fucking ass down.
Blaylock Ghardian
*I stare at you with my eyes burning. Yeah, it is much better thinking how I hate you for all you've done to me than how much I love you even after all you've done to me. I get rid of your hand on the back of my neck and step back again* Qhuinn we are not fucking 10 anymore! I'll not follow your commands just like a stupid kid. Now let me go back to my room and finish my night in peace, for fuck's sake! I don't wanna talk right now. I don't have a shit to say! Can you fucking please leave me alone? *As you always did... but I don't dare to say. When I move toward the door again, I sense someone coming and doesn't take so long to see Layla coming inside the room. Oh great! The happy family together now. I should really have stayed in my room and played my Mortal Kombat*
Layla Ghardian
*Laying in mine bed listening to music on mine Ipod, resting and relaxes as Dr. Jane has told me to do. Humming softly and rubbing large circles around mine belly and letting the music soothe mine worries. Gasping and looking down at mine belly.* What was that? *Sitting up in bed and as I continue to stare and pray to the Scribe Virgin that it Is what I think it is. I sit and wait and wait and then....I feel a soft movement under mine hand again. Jumping out of bed.* Qhuinn! Qhuinn!! * I run to the door and open it and stop right where as I am, when I see Qhuinn and Blaylock standing near the door. The smile on mine face quickly fades. Just as I am about to close the door to keep from interupting them, I hear Blay's words and the tone in his voice.* Excuse me..........I did not mean to interupt. *I begin to step back in the room and close the door.*
Qhuinn Ghardian
*Blay is pissing me the fuck off with his bullshit attitude. Shit between us is rough enough without him being all Midol on me. I regret even bothering trying to talk with him. What's the point? I let him go, tempted to kick his ass out my room when Layla enters full of light and excitement* I'm here, baby girl. You okay? *I give a sidelong glance to Blay, willing him to drop the asshole act long enough to be civil. Last thing I want is this negativity affecting Layla and my young.*
Blaylock Ghardian
*She can feel immediately that something really bad is going on inside the room but that's the chance I have to leave* Good evening Chosen. *I bow* No, you are absolutely not interupting anything. I was just saying good night to Qhuinn because I am coming back to my room *I flip in air the box of the game, giving her a smile* I believe you two want to be alone right now. Pleasure to see you Layla.
Layla Ghardian
*Looking back and forth between them and nodding mine head at Blaylock's greeting and giving Qhuinn a small smile* Please, Blaylock, you don't have to leave on mine account. I'll just go back in mine room and rest. *Unsure of what to do and take another step back when Qhuinn walks over and asks me again if everything is okay.* Yes.....everything is fine. * Glancing at Blay and seeing him look at Qhuinn and see the angry expression change to that of hurt and.....longing. Tilting mine head, just as he looks and me and his expression hardens over again.* I have something to tell you and I would like to share it with both of you if I may.
Qhuinn Ghardian
*I brush my finger down the side of Layla's cheek. She's excited about something, desperate to share it. I look over my shoulder to Blay and he's still there.* You want to share your news with both of us? *When you nod, I guide you over to the couch and help you take a seat. I gesture for Blay to join us and my temper flares. The fucker just stands there, like he doesn't know what he wants. He may be pissed at me, but his attitude has nothing to do with Layla. If he makes her cry ... I shake my head. I don't want violence around my young or Layla. Even if the asshole deserves a good pounding right now* You going to stay or leave, Blay? Layla says she has something to share with us.
Blaylock Ghardian
*I can't be rude to a pregnant female, besides my problem is with Qhuinn not Layla. So I sigh, one of those that really can't mislead how tired you are of fighting, arguing or suffering. One of those that screams "I give up". I walk toward her not even looking at Qhuinn. Seeing their glances and touchings sometimes is too much for my head. But I smile at her and hold her hand, rubbing my thumb on the back side. No matter what, she is still a Chosen and I can't go against the nature. She was made to conceive youngs of our race and what she is carring is a miracle* What do you want to share, dear?
Layla Ghardian
*Smiling shyly as Blaylock, gently rubs mine hand and I look over at Qhuinn as he nods at me in encouragement. I slowly take hold of Qhuinns hand and move it near mine belly.* I was lying in bed earlier, just, relaxing when I felt this ......fluttering in mine belly. *Qhuinn looks at me in surprise and mine smile spreads across mine face.* I waited a little bit and then I felt it again, right where mine hand was rubbing and that's when I came in here. *As Qhuinn slowly places his hand on mine belly I begin to pull gently forward on Blay's hand as he looks at with with confusion.* Please. *I whisper.* Maybe if were still and quiet, it will happen again.
Qhuinn Ghardian
*The young moved? Layla's comments fill me with wonder. She's never mentioned this before and the chance to feel the baby kick. My baby?* You felt something? You don't think ... *I gently hold my hand over your stomach and wait. There's nothing but the warmth of your skin and I know I'm holding my breath. I watch you place Blay's hands near mine and I catch his gaze. Whatever bullshit is between us, this is more important. Layla's eyes widen a second before I feel it. A nudge* Fuck! *I cringe, not shifting my hand* Sorry, baby girl for the language, but was that what I thought it was? *There's another nudge and I start chuckling* Sweet Scribe Virgin ......
Blaylock Ghardian
*As I touch the skin of her belly I feel my cheeks warming up and start to blush. This is a moment between them and I don't know if I have to be part of it, but I feel happy that she wanted me to stay and share. As I feel the move of the baby inside her belly, I smile at her and glance Qhuinn that is smiling like a silly, with that glow in the eyes, like a boy excited for the first trip. Suddenly I remember why I felt in love with him.* Oh my... that's just... amazing!
Layla Ghardian
Isn't it the most amazing thing you have ever felt? * I look back and forth and grin as mine eyes tear up form this special moment that we are sharing together. Placing mine hands on top of each of theirs I bring then together even closer and entwine them together. I hold firm as I feel both of then begin to pull their hands away and close mine eyes as tears begin to fall down mine cheeks.* I will remember this moment forever. Sharing it with both of you. *Smiling inwardly as I feel them both relax their hands and we sit in silence, holding our breath waiting for the next movement.*
Qhuinn Ghardian
I don't want to move my hand *I can hear the awe in my voice* Is that weird? *I look around and smile at Layla. *Thank you for this gift, sweetheart. This makes it so real. Do you think ... *I stop speaking, afraid I'll sound foolish. When Layla nods in encouragement, I look at Blay. He was so hostile before and I don't want to be vulnerable in front of him. Not now with him like this. He's got a different look though on his face. It's emotional* Do you think our young hears us? *I look at my hand, our hands. I lean forward, throwing caution to the win* Hey there, little one. This is your ... father *The last word catches in my throat.*
Blaylock Ghardian
*By the sound of the words "our young" I disconnect to the world. Again, that weird feeling of being apart of this little family that is right in front of my eyes. But I swallow the nodes in my throat and hold a tiny tear that is trying to roll down. Our hands are so close and I feel the urge of touching you and hold our hands together but the kick of the baby by the sound of his voice just call my attention again* Yes... I think your young can hear you Qhuinn! *And without even realize, my free hand goes to his shoulder and presses it lightly*
Qhuinn Ghardian
*Blay touches my shoulder and Layla reaches over and places her hand over mine. It's so strange but oddly it feels right. Everything is messed up but I just know in this moment everything will work out.* Thanks for letting us feel this, baby girl. Thanks for this *I stare back at her stomach and smile. A family. I'm part of a family and this young will want for nothing* ~
