1.8 – Free spirit | Light the way to heaven

The new house!

I was watching Tarnowak paint as I usually did when he dropped a news bomb on me.

“I’m going to leave soon.” He announced rather casually.

“What?” I asked not yet into the conversation.

“Hopefully tomorrow. So I won’t be there for the birth of the baby.”

“Um, No! What is this? You’re here for me all this time, and two months before I give birth you ditch? What’s wrong?”

“I was just warning you.” He said as he continued painting.

“Anna! Get your ass over here!” I yelled while glaring at my husband. Does he even know what he’s saying?

“Goodness sakes, what would those guys do without me?”

“Yeah, whats up?”

“Your big brother just told me he wasn’t going to be there for the birth of this baby and that apparently hes going somewhere tomorrow!”

“Oh. Well the answer to that is pretty simple.”

Tarnowak had already tuned us out as he usually did while painting.

“He goes through these phases. They’re pretty unpredictable. He just needs to leave and head to the only place he can be safe and alone. In his head. With my help of course.”

“Please, elaborate…”

“He’s told me once he had these like battles in his head and he had to keep going back or something. That or its his escape hatch when stressing stuff comes along. Like, I dunno, the birth of his child.”

“Well he should confront it like a man!”

“Anywho I gotta go to school.”

“Wait!”

“Look, Tarnowak is a carefree spirit. You can’t hold him back, its his own choice if he does or not. Be happy he hasn’t decided to leave you yet.” Wow what a reassuring thought.

And sure enough the idiot made his little escapade the next day, sleeping peacefully in bed.

“Don’t hate him for it Rosa, really its just in his nature. After living for 300 years, you sort of need these times of rest.” Rest, was it now?

The next few weeks were pretty damn lonely, me and Anna weren’t really…tight. I spent most of my time in the baby room, talking to my baby and rocking back and forth. I was really curious as to what this baby would grow out to be.

It was on one of those nights that the baby decided it was time to come out! The thing is, supernaturals can’t go to the hospital. Too many weird things happen at birth and the humans would just freak out. So I had to give a homebirth with Anna’s help.

Let me rectify that, I had to do it all by myself cause she was freaking out in the corner of the room for the first half hour!

And with lots of sparkles, Christopher was born!

Even though it was still rather early, I double-checked his eyes. They weren’t white. But we wouldn’t know before his eyes settled.

Even after Christopher was born, it would seem Tarnowak REFUSED to wake up. Anna said not to mind, if he didn’t in two months she’d force him awake.

Surprisingly enough, I actually did not mind. I can’t force Tarnowak to do anything, and I really understand what Anna was talking about. And if Tarnowak was awake he would say yes when ever Anna would want to walk Christopher. Thing is, I, want to walk Christopher!
