Niah and the Healers

[DTU/Project] Dhonzayth senses that Celiketh mind is a lot like the ocean, red and a bit of purple overlap but his voice is a little off sounding almost melodic «Would yours mind talking sense into mine? She's been a bit off today. Seems to me that she needs to see someone about it.»

[DTU/Project] Celiketh senses that Dhonzayth sparkles with tinges of copper and bronze, seeming slightly confused. « Off? » After a long pause, « Mine says he will come. »

Ierne Weyrhold - Celiketh's Sinking Ship
You have entered a space meant to be airy, allowing nature to come in as it pleases. The skybroom frame has many windows, meant so you can view the beach from every angle when all the windows are open. Curtains hang so that when the windows are shut Niah can have some privacy. Sand has been tracked in, though she maintains a good deal of cleansliness for her space. The walls have been washed a light sky blue color, that brightens the space. Accented by darker blues and reds are shelves built into the wall on each are drawings, shells, and objects of personal value to the bluerider, a table and a set of chairs sits near a small kitchen. On one wall just inside the door is a blue sofa, adorned with matching pillows and a baby blue blanket. Past the entrance and living area is the personal chamber, located here is a bed draped in a quilt of crimson the bed is king sized and not made up, so one can see the red sheets and red pillows, at the bottom is a white blanket that appears very old but still in good condition. Right off this chamber is the bathing chamber, a soaking tub and sink with a larger mirror.
The farthest end of the weyr is another entrance, curtains of yellow and red can be moved to view the couch where blue Celiketh sleeps. The couch is very well kept, swept daily and a collection of objects which seem to have very little actual relevance are all around. Most of them are red or blue, though it appears all the objects are from nature, yellowed leaves make the collection seem bizzare.

The days is nearing it's close, well not exactly as the sun is still up. But just barely. Celiketh's lounging a bit, those he has stretched out and has his hear near the couch, Niah is curled up on the sofa the blanket over her. She looks pretty peaceful, her head on a pillow comfortable. The breeze has tracked some sand into the home, and the curtains move lightly as the catch the wind.

L'ton arrives within a short while of Celiketh's message to Dhonzayth, the bronze alighting on the beach, and taking the time to soak. Despite the late hour in Ista, L'ton looks surprisingly awake, at least at the moment, though the cold of between may have helped in that regard. Gently pushing Niah's door open, he pauses in the doorway, watching her on the sofa, before moving to settle down lightly next to her. "Lil'bit, what's wrong?"

Niah smiles, at the sight of L'ton but then rolls her eyes, a very funny sight for someone so mild and quiet. Sitting up she shakes her head, flicking Celiketh on the nose which doesn't bother the blue who croons and nudges Niah lightly back. "I just haven't had an appetite recently, and he gets paranoid." Stroking Celi, and says, "It's ok, you can go home if you want to. I'm so sorry, he gets pushy and he is all worried but it really is not a big deal." Looking apologetic, and saying "I am sorry." Eyes all big, almost like she might burst into tears.

L'ton shakes his head hurriedly, moving to pull her into his arms as she sits up. "Come here, lil'bit. There's no reason ta cry. Ah ain't upset. Ah'm just worried about ya, just like Ah know Celiketh is." He reassures her, giving her a careful hug, as he tilts his head to watch her face. "Ah know ya may not have an appetite, but ya should try and eat something. Or go see the Healers, cause it could be something bad, and it wouldn't be good ta put Celiketh through that, ya know?"

Niah sighs, a long suffering whine putting her face in her hands, "I do not wanna see a healer, everyone wants me to see one but I don't want to go." It is a little voice, and Celi croons almost in an attempt to push through L'tons point. She lets tonny pull her towards him, leaning back and avoiding his eyes, "I would never hurt him, and you don't have to be worried. It isn't all the time, just in the morning and sometimes afternoon."

"Sweetheart, remember how Ah said ya should prolly go see a Healer after a few sevendays? Ah think maybe its time, ya know?" L'ton reaches to tip her chin up, trying to catch her gaze. "Ah'll go with ya. Shards, if'n ya won't walk, Ah bet Ah could carry ya down there, but Ah think it'd be less embarrassing if'n ya were in on yer own ta feet." He teases her a bit, glancing at Celiketh as he croons. "See, Celi agrees."

"Not yet, it has only been six sevendays." Niah argues, shaking her head just a bit and letting him tip her chin up she looks frightened and nervous eyes all big and hand trembling slightly. "You wouldn't." She just sighs brushing her hair out of her face, and saying "I met a healer and this bronzerider and if I go once then they are going to want me to come back." Niah feels a bit heavier, she definetly has developed slight curves.

"Ah do think Ah told ya six sevendays, Niah." He replies softly. As she trembles, he leans to give her a soft kiss on the forehead. "Ah would, if'n Ah felt that ya wouldn't otherwise." Shifting her a bit, he moves to rest his hand lightly on her stomach. "If'n ya are gonna have a baby, ya gotta take care of yerself fer ya, but also fer them. The Healers ain't ta bad, Ah promise."

"I-I'll go but only if you promise not to leave me alone." Celiketh moves back to his couch as L'ton kisses her, there are somethings he just can't deal with. Niah moving to rest her hand ontop of his, "We'll go." Rising and pushing her hair back. "I want o take care of myself, I just wish it didn't involve being poked and prodded." Niahs still tense, but is giving in just a little.

"Ah'm sure they won't poke and prod ya ta much." He tries to tell her, though he honestly has no clue what it will involve. As her hand rests on his, he flips his hand over to give her a slight squeeze before carefully getting to his feet to follow after, resting a hand lightly on the small of her back as he does so. "Ah promise Ah won't leave ya alone, lil'bit."

Niah nodding she moves then stop looking back at him, "To much?" She questions, before continuing with a sigh. "I hope this doesn't hurt." She mutters under her breath, then with a change of subject that would only come from her she asks, "So, so they can tell us if we are having a baby?" A little smile.

"So they can." He agrees hurriedly, absently brushing his hand over her stomach again. "But, given yer putting on a lil bit of weight right here, Ah think the chances are pretty good." He grins widely before holding the door open and bowing her to, letting her lead the way.

Ierne Weyrhold - Infirmary(#5568RL)
This large, airy, bright space is partitioned into a recovery area, an exam area, and a waiting area. Soft rugs cover the floor of the waiting area, but the other places' floors are bear. To make up for this lack, potted flowers and ferns have been put in every conceivable place not already taken up by shelves, closets, tables, or cots - although they are placed on most of the tables anyway. Only the exam area and a special room back in the back of the building - the isolation room - are fairly bleak, without soft rug or plant. The staff here has made up for this by hanging framed watercolors of plants.

Niah walks in, shooting L'ton a look and then asking "Does M'iken know you are here? It is late in ista." She needs a bit of a push to actually go in, agreeing to go is one thing actually going another thing completely. Once inside she says, "I think they are busy, maybe I'll come back tomorrow." Lapsing into silence as she waits for what L'ton thinks of this fleeing idea.

"Ah told her something came up. She didn't really wake up, though, so, Ah think it'll be okay." Just more explaining he'll have to do later, nothing new, really. Putting his hands on her shoulders, he gently steers her into the infirmary, even as he shakes his head. "Nah, yer here, Ah'm here. We're gonna stay, cause Ah wanna know that yer okay, and so does Celiketh." He states firmly, hands remaining on her shoulders so she can't go anywhere.

Unfortunately for Niah, and fortunately for L'ton a healer comes. A younger woman who leads them into the examine room. Niah sits down sticking close to L'ton, and asking, "You won't leave me, right?" Needing the reassurance as she sits down the cot.

The healer closes the curtain which makes Niah jump and then asks, "So what brings you in?" Niah stays quiet, shrugging her shoulders, she falls into the silence she tends to get caught in around strange new people.

"Ah.. We… think that she's expecting. A couple of sevendays in, if'n that helps." L'ton supplies ever so helpfully even as he stays, as promised, with Niah all the way into the examine room, going so far as to keep his hands on her shoulders - even it might be so she can't go running off.

The healer smiles, Niah is still very quiet as the woman nods and tells her she's just going to feel. Ni's a ball of nerves, pulling up her shirt and watching everything the woman does. To L'ton she says, "Thank you." Mouthing the words more than saying them aloud. After a few moments the healer smiles and says "I would want to run a test, but I would say you're around eight sevendays along. That's just a guess mind you." Niah looks over at L'ton, then finally breaking the silence. "I can't be eight sevendays along."

"That wasn't that bad, was it?" L'ton whispers softly, ducking his head towards her ear so that he doesn't have to speak too loudly, though the healer does get a rather surprised look. "Eight sevendays? Ah thought ya said.." And then he's straightening up to give the Healer a rather questionable look. "Ah know its just a guess, but.."

Niah is relaxing a bit smiling and saying to L'ton, "I know I'm not eight sevendays, it's not possible." Blushing and then looking at the healer, who leaves saying that she'll be back. Once she's gone Niah gets a big, almost goofy smile on her face and says, "We are going to have a baby!" She sounds exstatic, sitting up and speechless, just reaches her arms up wanting a hug.

L'ton continues to grin, leaning to give her the hug that she wants. "Ah told ya so. And Ah told ya the healer wasn't gonna be so bad." He would stick out his tongue at Niah, but that would be quite immature wouldn't it? As the Healer leaves, he moves to settle down behind her on the cot, keeping an arm around her for support.

The healer comes back, and she's carrying a needle. Immediately Niahs eyes get about twice the normal size. She complies, allowing the woman to take blood, and being told they will have test results in an hour. After the woman leaves again Niah says to L'ton, "You had to say it was not going to be that bad, didn't you?" She still seems happy though.

"T'was just a lil blood. It wasn't like they had ta stick half a dozen needles in ya er anything. Ah mean, Mai was poked and prodded 'nuff ta send any sane person *between*." There's always something worse? Keeping his hold on her, he tilts his head. "Ya wanna stay here and wait, or just come back when they'll have the answer fer sure?" Though it seems that he's already settled on it being a Yes.

Niah rises quickly, ready to get out of here. "I think we should leave, we can come back and everything." Before she has time to leave the healer is back smiling one of those not so happy smiles, and saying that they don't have any information or even a chart on Niah. Ni sighs, "I have not had to come in here." Leaving that as her explanation, and sitting back answering a bunch of questions. Just when she thought she'd escape.

"Ya ain't getting out of here so early, hm?" He mutters, as he settles back, leaving Niah to answer the variety of questions thrown her directly, fingers now and then twitching to rest absently on her stomach, before he's really himself, resigned to wait until the chart is filled out.

Niah doesn't really relax and the hours up when she finishes all the questions. She moves to put her hand ontop of his, and smiles occasionally at him. The healer leaves and comes back saying, "Congratulations, you are expecting. My guess would be if you are certain that you are not eight sevendays that maybe the baby is just a bit larger than average." Niah gulps, she is on the small side but nods, after making another appointment for a month down the road. She says to tonny, "Can we get out of here?"

"Ah'm sure its just a fluke. And they'll be able ta do something, if'n it is a little bigger. Ah'm sure ya'll be fine." L'ton reassures her, nodding at the Healer as she leaves before moving to escort Niah back out of the examination room, offering her an arm to lead her.

Niah takes his arm, a bit of a spring in her step. She doesn't say anything for a long while, just holding onto his arm until they get outside the infirmary. Silence gets awkward and she says, "Thank you." Smiling at him and genuinely happy, "Thank you so much." She moves to hug him, and says again, "We're going to have a baby." Like she hasn't wrapped her mind around the idea yet.

L'ton grins, pulling her into a hug as she smiles, keeping his arms around her as he moves to ruffle her hair. "Yep. A cute lil' Niah ta terrorize Celiketh all the time. Ah'm sure he'll be able ta do a number at Ista, ta. Keeping everyone on their toes." Though its like that will be L'ton's influence, in the end.

Niah giggles, leaning into him heavily and giving a happy little sigh, "Well I am not going to let him get into that much trouble." Holding onto him and then, in another one of her sudden little tangents "But, don't tell M'iken ok?" Niah looks a tad worried, looking up at L'ton "It isn't fair I get to have a baby and she does not."

"Ah won't, not til she's on her way herself. Ah hope it'll be soon, after she's done bouncing ta Xanadu everyday fer Meluth and Ellamariseth's eggs, so. Keep yer fingers crossed fer her, kay?" He smiles broadly as she leans against him, with a smile. "So, ya still want me ta come see ya, now that Ah've served my purpose?" He teases.

Niah nods, "Well could you try and get her there before I move?" Asking sweetly, as if l'ton had any control over such a matter. "I just don't want to remind her that she does not have one yet." Sighing and then thoughts back on her own baby, "What will we call it?" Asking as an after thought as the walk.

Most of them are red or blue, though it appears all the objects are from nature, yellowed leaves make the collection seem bizzare.

"Ah'll do mah best, lil'bit. Ah can't say its fer lack of trying." He winks at her, before wandering back to her home with her. "Canni ask fer something that starts with a Z? Ah mean.. If its not that big of a deal. Zialon er something?" L'ton supplies absently as they go.

Niah is content to just listen to him, "Zialon is ok, I don't mind the Z at all." Touching her stomach absently and sitting back down on her sofa, still deliriously happy. "You will come visit me right? Until I can move you have to come see me." she moves to take his hand, and lay it on her stomach. "You should probably get back, but you are not going to just forget about me right?"

"Well, we have time ta think about it, dun we? We'll come up with something good. Something with a Z." He grins, settling down next to her, keeping his fingers on her stomach as well. "Of course Ah'll come see ya still. Like Ah said, in whatever mode ya want, Ah'll be here." He reassures her, flattening his palm against her stomach at her lead. "Ah should.. before Mai wakes up. But, like Ah said, Ah won't ferget about ya.. How could Ah? Yer carrying a child as much mine as yers."

"I know, but you have so many and what makes you want to see me?" Niah contemplating what all women who ever get involved with L'ton probably have to think about, she moves to put her hand on his. "Our baby, not just mine. I will do all the raising if I have to, but somethings children must learn from there father."

"Yer cute, Niah. And Ah enjoy getting ta spend time with ya. All sorts of time with ya." He tells her, gently rubbing her stomach. "Ah can manage that, Ah think." He tells her with a chuckle, leaning his head against hers. "Though, Ah guess Ah dun get all the same benefits as before hm?" He asks with no shame, though he doesn't try and meet her gaze.

Niah smiles, moving to she could touch her cheek to his chest. "You can have the same benefits, if you can get me in the mood. And get M'iken pregnant. I want her to have a baby, so I don't feel so bad." It's a selfish reason, but Ni smiles at the rubbing of her stomach, "Lets hope for now the kid stops growing." Then totally joking she says "Ha, maybe we're having two."

"Is that the case?" He chuckles, ducking to give her a gentle kiss at those words before leaning back enough to smirk. "Ah'll do my best fer both of those. Ya know Ah can't say no." Really, he can't. "Well, Ah'm sure he'll keep growing, but lets hope he slows down a tad, so ya aren't totally miserable, ya know?" He grins, continuing to gently rub, smiling all the while.

"I hope I'm not being pushy." Nodding a bit, then saying. "You had better get back to M'iken, and I am going to get some sleep." Sitting up and scooting a bit so he can leave. "You had better tell me if she gets pregnant, I want to know. I would rather not keep it a secret, but until she gets one I would like to ok?" Then moving to give him a gentle push, almost being playful. "Go, before she misses you."

"Fine, fine, Ah'll go. But, Ah'll be back." He grins, giving her a gentle push back towards the bed. "Ah'll tell ya as soon as we know she is, though ya could probably hear her happy shout from Ista." Winking, he waggles fingers at her, before ducking out the door with a final, "Sleep well, lil'bit," before he's gone.
