Chapter Text

was nice for a stroll. The baby was sleeping, the sun was singing with the birds, and we needed to get some food for the week so perfect timing for a stroll.

The trees were happy to see me and the animals didn't really put up a fight so I didn't have to move too much. That a good thing to the doctors say that if you move too much it is bad for the baby.

As I go home with my hall of food , I see some rustling in the leaves, it is quick but silent. Maybe it is a small animal or even a running plate whatever it is I wanna see. I stroll over to the bush that it went in, and when I open the bush I see a little running plate. I don't chase it or even look at it because behind it a little weak body I see a baby.

He is dirty, wet and cold. With hair as blue as the sea. I ran over myself to get to him. He seems to be breathing still but i dont know for how long.

Why was he not crying?

Babies are supposed to cry when in discomfort but he isn't crying.

Is there something in his throat why isn't he crying? Wait, was this?

I look at his little arm to see a golden bracelet. It seems to have some unreadable text written on it with bold underlining. It looks one of a kind, because I have never seen this brand or style before. Maybe whoever put it on him wanted him to keep it. But who would give a baby a golden bracelet but not clothes or a home.

I curse whoever did this to you young one!

Come here little one.

I went to hold the little one in my arms.he was so light even for a baby and for a baby he smelled good like a meal even. But I am getting over myself. He needs a bath and clothes now. I ran home carrying the little one in my arm with the hunt in the other. I hope Clara still on my back I am going fast. I get home and go straight to the bathroom but before that i make sure to check on my little Clara before giving this one a bath. I look for Clara's face that seems as worried as me so I put her down in her crip and then like a weight has been taking off her shoulders she falls asleep then we two run to the bathroom.

We make it to the bathroom and I turn on the bathtub. Making sure that the water isn't too hot or cold for his little body. Then I put him in, scrubbed his body as softly as I could. Then putting him in the warmest towel I can find.

He still isn't crying.

This is bad. What should I do?

He is still breathing, right, right?

Please stay with me, little one!

Then like a dog smelling good food his little nose sniffed and his eyes opened. He looks around until he spots an apple on the table and starts grabbing for it. He's awake, thank goodness for that.And he seems hungry too.

You have to wait a little, little one?

We have to prepare that apple for you first.

With worry out of my system I place the little one (now in Clara spare clothes) next to my now awake Clara for them to get to know each other and start on that apple.

I cut it up, ~la la la 

I bake them, ~la la la 

and then squish them to a paste !da

I made sure to make enough for both of them but I didn't mean to use all the apples.

I guess we will be eating apple sauces for the week, that is if it doesn't turn bad.

Oh my what have i done.

Must be the hormones.

Oh well here you go babies.

I grabbed the apple sauces and went over to the children's crib. When I looked inside the two of them seemed to be playing but sigh bless her soul Clara was chewing on the little one foot and he was just letting her.

Okay kiddos time for dinner!

With that shout they look up at me putting their hands up to the sky. The two of the looked so cute but why is only Clara standing up to see me? Is the little one hurt i didnt see any injury on him or is it that he just cant stand but one year olds’ can stand. Maybe hes younger. I didn't really think about how old he is, whatever.

I grabbed the two of them and then I walked over to the living room. I placed Clara on the carpet and the little one in my arms so that I could feed him properly.

Okay here come the apples, sauces isnt that yummy.

Ummmm

Wow you sure have an appetite dont you.

Okay now you Clara can you say aaaaa.

Aaaaaaa

Yess aaaa wow can you eat all of it too!

Mfffm

Yes Clara, good gir- job sweetie.

Yaaaya 

Mhh.

 Now do you want more?

The little one saks his head yes

Okay but dont over do it okay.

30 minutes later.

Well that all the apples sauces we have you must have be really hungry huh. 

Aaappfff

Are you trying to say apple?

Aaappfff

You surprised me you know. 

You were lucky me and Clara here passed you by or you be.............

How could anyone leave you here in the forest alone.

What monster!

Matogher

Ahh

Ahhhhhyeee

Well trying this one

Mama I bet you can'-

Mama

Oh I just fell in love.

Okay

I get up with the little up high. 

You are now a Valac I am your mama and this is your sibling Clara and this one in my belly is going to be your future younger brother. My husband aka your dad is on a trip right now but he will be back in a few months.

And that the whole Valac Family (more coming soon)

Huuuuu

Right your a baby. Well just know that I love you and will never leave you again okay. 

Mmmmmm.

Like that he falls asleep peacefully in my arms. I see my other kiddo starting doing the same I guest the food coma got to them too.

Okay you too have to go to bed sweetie. 

I pick them up and then put both of them in their crib they sleep so nicely like that.

I guess I should sleep to I already got dinner and the house is clean. Alright bed time I close my eyes to a strange thought why was the little one ear round. 

At the end I am adding pictures:> please wait <3

Chapter Text

In my dreams I have nightmares of dragons and doctors though the doctors took most of the nightmare. It started with the pregnancy room. I was waiting for my little Clara to be brought to me but the doctor came in instead.

Hello Mrs.Valca, how are you doing?

Where is my kid!?

Calm down, it's okay for now.

For now what's wrong.

You needed to sit down for this, well you really should be sitting already.

Okay but I swear if you hurt my kid I will kill you.

Demon mothers usually get pretty defensive about their young so I will tell you that your child is okay but you need to listen to me first before you go into your evil cycle.

Okay talk.

Your child seems to be intersex…

Is that bad? What is it!?

It seems to have mixed reproductive organs. 

What? How didn’t you catch that sooner?

Well you see it body appears to be mostly female so that's what we thought that at first but with a closer look it seems to have a mix of both female and male traits.

Will that hurt their ability to grow?

No, it seems the only mix parts are the wings, chest area, and as i said the reproductive 

organs.

So my child okay?

At the moment yes but we do recommend surgery to fix it.

Fix what, their birth certificate I don't think surgery will fix that.

No, that's not what I mean. What I'm saying is that we can change it sex to be more normal looking, like you want a girl right so we can make it look more like a girl with the surgery. 

I don't really mind, but how successful is the surgery?

Your child will have a 50/50 chance of surviving. 

50/50 chance that too much why would you recommend such a thing to me. 

You have to listen, with this surgery your child could be normal, don't you want that.

I don't want my child to be normal if it means that I could lose them! No thank you doctor but I will not put my child through such a surgery just for the chance to be normal to you. I want my child now please. 

Whatever it is your decision but just know this will be your biggest regret for not letting that kid be normal. 

What!

The room starts to shake as I fall down to the floor. It feels weird but comforting. So I close my eyes. 

I wake to see the babies curling together. They seem to be close. I don't know how I'm going to get them away from each other, but I have to find this little one a guardian.

I get up, change into some new clothes and eat. After that I wake up the babies, feed them and dress them.

Now we three I mean four are ready to go into the nearest town to see if anyone knows who this little one is.

When we go outside the day seems a little cloudy but not to the point of rain still I packed an umbrella just in case.

Anyway we started walking to town taking the short road through the snake pit that for today was lucky not completely covered in snakes. I mean if I wasn't pregnant this would be a cake walk even with three kids on my back but since I am pregnant I'm glad that the path is opened for once. 

We make it through the snake pit and reach the town. It seems like a really slow day because of how few people were outside. I am trying to go around to see who's baby this is but the little one got abandoned so who knows what if they see him but they  just lie or ignore me. That is no good what am I supposed to do.

Uaaaa

Come on little one we will be okay. 

Muuuaa

You want my finger okay here you go.

Araraaaa

Wait, I so dumb , why didn't I think of it sooner. You came with this golden bracelet. All I have to do is find out what it means right.

Rigaattf.

You really like coping words don't you little one.

Caaboittge

I guess that is a yes.

Now of my Clara doing back there you good sweetie. 

Waaaaat

Okay hang in there. 

We are going to the library so you two better be quiet okay.

Mummm 

Maaaaaa

Chapter Text

The Library Of Ancient History And Curses! Now open to all demons

That is a good sign! We already got kicked out of the other ten so maybe this one would be different. Right?

Wahaaa

Abbbbaaoa

Yay I hope this one is better. Now you two better behave when we go into this one alright, we don't want what happened in the last library to happen again.

Clara, no! Not the chairs! Little one stop chewing that! No Clara leave that man alone! Little one, how did you even find that! I am soo sorry!

…

Will go…

Okay let’s go in without making a mess of things.

When entering the library, I realize it is big and for an old library pretty loud and surprisingly chill. It has hundreds of sections mostly filled with students studying for school. I was able to reach the languages section without an accident, no babies crying here! Now I'm finally able to put these two to sleep, they probably lost all their energy biting random things and chewing on people’s faces.

Sleepy heads… Now let's find out what language this is! 

Shhhhh or whatever.

Sorry!…~~~i mean sorry~~~

~~~let’s do this~~~

Okay now, please! tell me what language you are.

I hold the bracelet in my hand; it’s mocking me with its secrets. I was able to pull it off the little one's hand because of its size compared to the little one's hand. If I can be honest, if the little one wanted, the little one could use it for a necklace.

With the bracelet in hand, I start to look through some of the ancient demon languages. Most ancient demon languages or old tongues are seen as evil because of its use in most curses but the only language used in curses is the Defixiones language, so the stigma is really undeserved. It is not old tongues' fault that the most popular of them is the Defixiones language. Demons are so hard to judge on anything, ghhh whatever.

Now let’s see! This doesn’t look like any nowadays language, it has too many strokes to exist nowadays. Most modern languages have a miniscule number of strokes to save on time, so this language has to be an old one. OK so let's grab some old language books and start looking!

~~~ let see, Bopban is too long to fit in a tiny space for the letters~~~

~~~ Urtutuian is only used on paper and is with sharp letters so again no~~~ 

~~~Wuʻmen is only used for spouse demons and only for poison naming, also very wavey letters so no doesn’t fit~~~

 ~~~Hugki was only for letters and is mostly made of circles~~~

 Mêchnuian no, Smeegruian no, Mespamish no, Pomomen no, Wagokoala no, Uiduos no, Tʼotʼian no, Kipsoti no, Peytìkhi, Kremtukan, Pho̊luuian, Yǔwpǎkhtukian, Chuotoian, Neshyökian, Fuutsichi, no no no no no No NO!

Quiet!

~~~sorry~~~

Uggh why is this so hard to find, maybe I should go awa- wait what this.

Mythical Languages You Will Not Believe! Well, that’s new, I must have grabbed it by accident. Well, I'm not finding anything in these books so hack why not.

Greek no, Roman no, Japanese n- wait these words actually match!

~~~someone must have be a fan of Mythical Languages to put this language on you huh bub~~~ 

~~~still, it wasn't nice of them to abandon you in the first place and to give you this fake language on the only thing you have, it's just cruel, like they didn't want you to be found and given back… Oh well their loss~~~

Now time to find what these letters mean 

. One Eternity Later .

 Okay so it's a name not anything else. I wish I found that out earlier but whatever. So, this says ru- iru- ruma. 

Ruma so your name is Ruma, little one, that's it, right. 

Quiet~~

Sorry!

~~~ so, your name is Ruma. That is good to know but it doesn't say anything about who you are or where you come from. Or why you smell so good. Or why I want to eat you. Well, that was weird, better get out of this place it's messing with my head.

I place back all the books in the right spots and making sure to watch the kiddos with a hawk eye. I walk back to the table and pick up the two of them, making sure not to wake them up and release the chaos spawn in the library. I put Ruma on my left arm first then with my right hand I put back their bracelet/necklace on their hand. Now with my right arm free I grab Clara and the Mythical Language book and start to head out of the library. 

Walking out I see how big the library really is. Its walls are as tall as dragons and its floors are as wide as the sea, but it seems so peaceful in a scary way. Like being alone in an empty field of flowers. But enough with the flowery talk we have to get home. 

There's stew waiting for us.

Chapter Text

Outside the library it was all but pouring rain. It wasn't good for the babies to get wet in such heavy rain. So I get out my trusted frog umbrella! It was there for all my rainy days. We started walking down the street barely being stared at so this was a good sign. But when we came to a cross road I saw an old miss under a canopy of a building without an umbrella. It seemed cruel to just leave her there so I went over to her. 

Hello Miss, are you alright?

Oh no dear you see I came here with no umbrella now I'm stuck in the rain.

Oh well here you can borrow mine for the way there!

“Oh thank you,” the old miss said, putting her hands together in a type of prayer.

I give my umbrella over to the old lady.

“Oh thank you, thank you for being so stupid!” old lady said her sweet smile turning into an evil looking laugh.

Suddenly the grandma started to run away with my umbrella, me being pregnant and all,  with two babies with me. I couldn't go after her in the heavy rain. 

Oh well at least she got an umbrella but people are now going to look at her weirdly. Oh well you get what you steal. 

I put Clara on my other arm as I tapped my pockets. With a shine and sparkle I made a new frog umbrella and put it in my hands as I walked back home.

 Why does this always happen to me, I'm nice and then they steal from me.

I walk back to the forest. It seems that it is not as forgiving as it was this morning. It seems like all the animals in the forest hear that I got my umbrella stolen, making me seem weak and now they all want to attack me. Before I even entered the forest five big siren lions started to cycle me. It seemed like they weren't taking no as an answer.      

Ok kiddos i have to do some killing real quick so just hang on to me as hard as you can okay?!

Apaalla

Okkabgdu

Alright well lets do this.

.One Hour Later.

Well that hurt are you two okay did the bad loins hurt you in anyway! 

I check the kiddos for any injuries. It seems in the fight only their clothes got dirty and for me. I think the blood bleeding for my arm would tell me that it shouldn't be there. I think I broke my arm but at least I'm alive and for the lions, wellllll. They will never see those better days. 

Well the rain has stopped which means I can put the 2.0 frog umbrella away which I can say was getting annoying to hold because I had it and 2 kids on one arm. Because like I stated my arm is broken which is really making me mad. Like really you had to break my arm!

With the lions taken care of the rest of the forest seemed to back off.

We made it home it would seem and the door is locked, great….

Well that never stop us! CLARA you ready to unleash all your energy!

Yaayaaa!

And Ruma you ready to help me find where I left the spare key!

Keaaaey!

Alright now go my children!

.10 minutes later.

Well that was no luck… We are locked out it seems… Well it not the first and will not be the last. You two get some sleep as I try getting the door open with my lock picking  Skills.

Waaaa

Skiaslllssss

Well the best I can do with one of my arms broken… But I can do it!!! right………

With that I started trying to pick the lock as best I could. The best  scenario now is that I'm able to get the lock open and worst case we sleep out here and get eaten. Come on, I can do it.. I can do it… I ca-

Before I knew it tears were running down my face. Today has been so stressful.. I got a new kid to worry about, my nightmares are coming back, my original frog umbrella got stolen, I got attacked by lion, broke my arm and l’m currently bleeding out, the adrenaline is leaving me which means the pain is coming back in waves, I'm pregnant out in the cold, we are locked out in the turning night sky and my children are crying. Wait, they're crying!!!

Sweeties is going to be okay, mommy going to make sure that you two are going to be okay! No matter what I will keep you two saf-!!!!

Ruma arm was bleeding………………..

I don't know why or what came over me but seeing Ruma's little arm bleed because of me leaving them unsupervised, it broke me to  Insanity!! I was about to go into my evil cycle and do something to them but Ruma reached out for me and I came back to reality.

Clara and Ruma were crying and reaching out for me I don't know why but I grabbed both of them in my arms and started to ugly cry as the pain of grabbing Ruma with my broken arm, and the thought of what I was going to do to them consume me,  and all the world left me alone with them. 

A few minutes or hours later the world came back to me and I looked at Ruma's arm. It didn't seem too bad apart from the scratch he got on his arm. It seems to have been caused by a sharp berry bush. But the bleeding was a bit too much for comfort because it ran down their little arm and landed on me. I immediately started to panic and look for something to patch them up with but then I felt better…

Not emotions of course but physically. I looked down at my arm and it was healed. I'm no doctor but a broken arm doesn't fix that easily.

Could it have been you!

I look at Ruma with a look of shock. 

Yoooyyyuu

Oh well at least you two aren't crying!

Waaaa

Okay with that whole impossible happening thing out of the way let's open that door.

I open the door, the house seems normal but to me it felt like I just stepped into heaven. I closed the door behind us as soon as possible to make sure nobody could get inside. After that all I did was patch up Ruma  bush, make wound and feed Clara and them. Before putting both of them to bed as I went to my own tired of my emotions and dealing with that whole healing thing later after I get some sleee-zzzzzzzz

I fell asleep almost immediately because of my tiredness. And a peaceful sleep at that because of the crazy thing that just happened, my brain doesn't seem to have the energy to give me nightmares….
