The Evil Topic In Which Anything Could Happen

"Raven's." Shadow said flatly.

"Oh, thought so." Holly said, "Doesn't surprise me .... knew she was trouble .... Now, when did you and your sister decide it was time to have a baby?"

Shadow rolled her eyes again.
"NO YOU IDIOT!" She spat. "Raven got herself pregnant and asked me to bear them."

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" Holly said, "THAT IS SO MUCH EASIER TO UNDERSTAND! .... I didn't think Rae-Rae was the kinda person to ... "
She snorted at the thought.

"Don't ask me how, or why." Shadow said. "Because i don't know."

"So...we have finally found something the mighty Raven fears...giving birth..." said Natalie quietly.

"How? Why?" Holly demanded, "WHO more importantly! Oh my word ... RAVEN!?!?! You SERIOUS!?!?! Oh my god ... this is FREAKY!"

Natalie sighed.
"Shut up Holly..."

Shadow rubbed her temples, starting to get a headache.
"Yes, Raven, don't know how why or who, and I don't know about her fears."

"Sick thought," Holly muttered, but she snorted, "Rae-Rae? PREGGERS?! Why did you take the kid?"

"Probably for the same reason I asked you did you want me to carry yours...but you still are to tell me so or refuse..." said NAtalie quietly, looking at the floor.

Shadow looked at them.
"I took them to protect Raven."

"Is it ... not a bit late?" Holly asked uncertainly, "It's been like ... a month .... "

"No...it's not..." said Natalie, "never too late..."

"Raven must never give birth." Shadow said.

"Why?' Natalie asked.

"Why?" Holly demanded, "Why should you and she not?"

Natalie sighed, letting the matter of Holly's child drop....once again.

"I am bound by a prophecy, meaning that i have to take role as the princess of darkness. Raven is bound by another, meaning that she cannot give birth without dying." Shadow said.

Natalie cleared her throat.
"Well I think you are doing a very honourable thing..." said Natalie earnistly(sp?)

"Well I think you are doing a very nice thing," Holly said, unable to think of a better word, "Good girl, have a cookie."

Shadow rolled her eyes again at this.

Natalie sighed, sitting down.
"Is there anything we can do at this time for you Shad?' Natalie asked.

Shadow shook her head.
"Apart from freaking the twins out, there aren't any complications."

"Mmmm...how far are you along?" Natalie asked.
