Songs of the Sea
Born 2005, F, from Buckley, United StatesI awoke to the sun shining in my room my curtains were blowing softly in the wind I covered up more not leaving my bed a bit after 7:30 I threw off the covers and sat up stretching I got up and made my way to the balcony to listen to the water I leaned against the rail and took in a deep breath. I listened to the water hitting the rocks and the shore and the birds chirping. I gently laid a hand on my stomach feeling a slight flutter, a smile tugged on my lips faintly as my hair gently whisked in the cool breeze. I felt another flutter and laughed ever so slightly “Morning my little sunshine” I felt more movement which brightened my smile more I closed my eyes and took in the morning air.
“Mama?” I heard my daughter call. I opened my eyes and took my hand off my abdomen. I turned to look at her standing there in tears. My mouth opened a bit and kneeled, opening my arms she ran into my arms sobbing. I ran my fingers through her hair gently and picked her up. I sat her on the rail holding her close. When Sally calmed she looked out at the water and laid her head on my chest hearing the calming splashing of water hitting the rocks. We stood there for about five minutes before we headed inside to get ready for the day. I sat sally down on my bed and changed into a button-down shirt I lifted the collar and threw on a tie I flipped the collar back down and threw on a pair of jeans making sure they fit I tucked my shirt in my pants and grabbed a waistcoat and threw it on sally handed me my brush I took it from her and brushed my long curly black hair. Sally placed her hands gently on my abdomen. I laid a hand gently on Sally's and looked down at her. She seemed astonished watching my belly move and shift. I laughed a little putting my hair up in a high ponytail.
I picked Sally up and made my way downstairs. I could hear BEN and Jeff arguing about who gets to take the trash out. I heard coffee brewing from the kitchen and the aroma of bacon eggs and pancakes filled the air. I walked into the kitchen and saw Eyeless Jack making breakfast. I smiled faintly as I sat Sally down. I opened a drawer and gathered the trash. I removed the bag from the trash can and replaced it with a new one. The bag weighed around 20 lbs from me cleaning out the cupboards. I walked out of the kitchen into the living room making my way to the front door BEN and Jeff stopped immediately and rushed over taking the trash.
“Works every time,” I thought, placing a hand on my hip and the other on my abdomen, shaking my head slightly, smiling. I went back to the kitchen and sat down at the end of the table. Eyeless Jack placed food in front of me and placed food in front of Sally.
“Morning slender did you sleep well?” Eyeless Jack asked hugging Sally
“Indeed I did, Did everyone else eat?” I asked tilting my head ever so slightly to the right
“Yes they did they all wanted to eat before you so they could ask you a question” Eyeless Jack explained sitting on the other side of the table
“I see, well then I'll answer that question after I finish eating” I reply taking a sip of coffee “Though they could have asked me while eating” I added on
“I don't see why they couldn't wait,” Eyeless Jack said nodding in agreement and letting Sally play with his hand “Its honestly kind of stupid to ask you after if we all eat at the same table” Eyeless Jack stated
I nodded in agreement taking a bite of pancake the soft pancake melted in my mouth. I took a sip of coffee and felt a satisfied kick I giggled a bit placing a hand on my abdomen. Once I finished eating I put my plate in the sink and walked into the living room as soon as I sat down in my chair everyone rushed over to me with their eyes gleaming with curiosity I sighed a bit and sat back in my chair. I looked at them.
“Alright, what's this question of yours?” I ask turning my head slightly to the right
“Can we feel the baby moving?” Ann asked
“Of course, you can” I reply taken aback by the question
Everyone lined up in front of me and one by one they all felt the baby moving. I smiled softly I picked up the newspaper to read. After an hour or two I felt nervous like someone was watching me I put down the paper and just about jumped out of my skin when I saw my enemy zalgo. I slapped him right across the face and I didn't feel sorry I stood up immediately protecting not only myself but my baby. A fire sparked in my hand my blood boiling with anger. I couldn't stand zalgo let alone the stench he carried around 24/7 I don't think he showered the blood is still stained on him from when he stabbed me a couple of months ago. I grabbed him by the horns and took him to the bathroom throwing him in the shower.
“Take a shower zalgo you reek” I yelled through the door
I heard zalgo turn on the water and get in. I walked back to the living room and sat in my chair. Moments later zalgo came out with newer clothes which I was pleased about plus he was cleaner. I felt the baby move a bit I sat a hand on my abdomen and slightly smiled knowing my little one was going to be here in four months I let out a sigh as I leaned back I was so comfortable I wanted to sleep but knew that in a few minutes, my back would be killing me. I started feeling the unwanted presence of Rake, zalgo took one look at me and went out to talk to Rake. Once Zalgo returned he faced me.
“Rake won't be a bother anymore I told him about your condition,” Zalgo said with a tone I never thought Id hear from him a calm and collected tone
“I appreciate what you did but I don't need help from my enemy,” I said giving him a glare
Zalgo nodded and walked out. Months passed and after what felt like an eternity of hell, I soon had a baby boy in my arms I decided to name him Rome. Interestingly enough Zalgo came and wanted to see my son I was very skeptical of this and allowed him to see him under my watchful eye I didn't dare to take my eyes off him who knows what he could do I could take my eyes off him for a second and he'd be gone with my son I calmed down by the sounds of the waves of the sea it lulled my son to sleep by its calming nature. It was a song that had a compelling yet calming way. I saw zalgo walk over to me and reached a hand out he placed a hand on my son's head and the other rubbing his little hand which Rome grabbed his finger. It all made science to me zalgo wanted to help me raise Rome. As much as I wanted to sock him in his throat I allowed him to help me. In the end, I and Zalgo made a truce and got married we were happy with everything.

06/10/2023That was quite an interesting story Amy. I really love the title "Songs of the Sea". The calmness of the sea puts your character's baby to sleep. Nice story line. Be sure to read some of my other stories.
