Aeris buried her head in her hands, sobbing a bit as the papers, signed by her doctor, laid ebfore the kitchen table. It was positive.
She was pregnent.
Now normally, parents would be thrilled by this prospect. but not Aeris - mother of five.
She had Sora - a boy who at eleven was diagnosed with Leukemia.
Ryten - Who at eight was found to be bipolar.
Adan - who was born deaf.
Iris - who was born diabetic.
and Kenji - who had asthma ever since he was seven.
And between the constant trips to the hospital, the unending panic attacks, the constant Cries from Sora as he complained of pain, the shouts from Ryten as he raged, the confusion of Adan as he got lost once again, the scares from Iris going into shocks, and the terrors of Kenji and his attacks, the never ceasing worry and fear that one of her kids was going to die on her any day now...
One more who would be born with god knows what. One more to be scared about, to lvoe but watch leave before their time.
She wasn't ready. Wasn;t ready for the duaghter of whose name she already imagined. Raine would be nice - it was cleansing and healed wounds.
Maybe Raine would be highly allergic to water and die upon birth. That would be Aeris' luck.
She breathed unsteadily, wiping her tears, standing. What would Raichu think when she told him? Would they abort? they had had no luck so far - how could they bring another damned child into this world?
She looked out the window at the house across the street. Tears gathered in her eyes. Why couldn;t they be like Phillip? He might only one child - Hatori, but that child was perfect and happy ad had everything right in the world.
