A Fire Chapter 21

AO3

“Mama?” She rests, feet up in the great room.

 

“My darling,” the smile she gives me is wistful and there is a film of tears in her eyes, “It is hard to believe you are about to be a bride. Seemed only yesterday I was holding you in my arms as a newborn.”

 

I take a seat beside her and place my hand on her small bump. “Soon you will have another.”

 

“True,” She rests her head on the back of the couch, “but there is nothing like your first born.”

 

It is an opening and I take it. “But mama, I wasn’t your first born. That would be my sister, Faith.”

 

Her head jerks up and she stares at me. “Bree, how do you know about Faith?”

 

“Fergus told me. He said she was born in Paris.”

 

She nods. “Right, he was there. He brushed my hair. Trying to get rid of the guilt. He blamed himself.”

 

I am captivated. “Why?”

 

She sighs. “That horrid man I told you about,” She waits my nod, “he hurt him,” a shake of her head. Her eyes get steely, “no, far worse. He raped him, sodomized him. He was only eleven.”

 

I gasp, feeling my stomach twist. A feeling of dizziness and nausea runs through me.

 

“He cried out. Your da ran in, caught him. They dueled. He wasn’t too, I was trying to protect Frank’s line, as I believed he would come from him. It was his much nicer brother, Alex, that he actually… A story for another day.

 

I rushed out to try to stop them. I didn’t know then why he… Fergus told me later. The stress the shock of it, I started bleeding.

 

She was born to soon, this tiny doll like creature. Had skin so thin I could see through it. Red hair, slanted closed eyes. I held her for the longest time. Couldn’t bare to give her up.

 

The good Mother named her Faith. She is buried in the hospital ‘s cemetery.

 

I almost died myself.”

 

“Mama!”

 

She pats my hand, her eyes far away. “A piece of her placenta didn’t  get delivered. Master Raymond, a dear friend and fellow healer, he drew it out of me. In truth, there was a time then I wanted to die.

 

Jamie was locked away for the duel, our baby was gone,” She blinks and returns to me and the present, “Now I am so glad I lived. To see you married, to have a chance to raise this baby with Jamie, to see my grandchildren.”

 

I rest my head against her. “I’m sorry about Faith, mama.”

 

“Thank you love.” We sit and watch the fire.

Having ocs is fucked up they make you wake up and think stuff like what if i learn to code in renpy and make this into a visual novel. Who said that

[where-does-the-heart-lie]

wow.... i cant believe they were abandoned and Luffy collected them like treasures.....

the rest of the strawhats/friends that were gonna be in this post but i decided against it

This is now a print on my store!!

Not all of them were abandoned by individual people like family members and their community, but the government. Specifically Franky and Law.

Vivi was gonna be in there too but i couldnt,,,, really,,,,, fit her in there.
