Arabelle felt her way to the door and opened it. "Hi Bailey." she said softly. She felt humiliated.FireMaiden said:Bailey walked back to the room where Arabelle is, knocking before going in, "Hey sis, you alright?" She asked lingering in the doorway for a few seconds, then sat on the floor next to the door.

She flinched at the contact. "No…" she said, beginning to cry. "I feel awful…I'm trying to be strong for Ari because I want to seem like I'm more capable than I am but I'm just broken..."FireMaiden said:"You feeling alright?" She asked, gently putting a hand on her shoulder.
"But you're lucky. I heard you before. You had a child with Tyr, you wanted one with him and you had a wonderful baby. I have been forced into this and now I'm having twins with extreme power. I'm so scared! It's not fair." She was just letting all her emotions out as she cried. She was miserable.FireMaiden said:"It's ok, it's ok," Bailey said softly. "Come on now, you are one of the strongest people I know. And I know being a mom won't break you. It's ok to feel down and broken, but you can do this."
Arabelle continued to cry into her hands. "I'm just so afraid I'll do something wrong. I've already been hurt so much, I must have done something wrong to deserve all this pain."FireMaiden said:"That doesn't mean I wasn't terrified," Bailey said with a small laugh, "Being a mom is gonna be the best thing that's happened to you, and twins? I was already wondering how that thing knew you're pregnant before a least 24 hours," she said, sitting Arabelle down on the bed, then sitting next to her.
"B-But Alex is so wonderful. You're such a great mother." she said shakily.FireMaiden said:"No, you don't deserve this, hell, nobody really deserves what you've been through. And every mother is scared about doing something wrong. I'm still scared I'll mess something up."
"He knows you did it all for him though." she said softly, listening to Bailey attentively. Her hands were shaking. "These children will be powerful. They might never listen to me and just leave."FireMaiden said:"I've been at this for five years. Hell, I had limited contact with him for about 7 months after he wa s born because I got sick, then another few months due to my arm. Then, don't tell Tyr this, He was fucking kidnapped about a year ago and had to watch me and a close friend go apes hit on the slave traders after said friend tracked them down while I was hysterical. I'm surprised he's not terrified of me."
Arabelle was quiet for a few moments and slowly hugged Bailey, but when she did, she knocked a vase over and it fell. The sudden noise made her scream again.FireMaiden said:"No, he didn't know it was for him. He even asked why I did that to his friends," She said with a sigh, "And those kids will listen to you. Trust me, you don't have to worry about them leaving with you as a mom. Hell, scales showed he's a good dad with Elaine. Those kids will love you, and if you even need to, just stick 'em with me and Tyr."
Arabelle tried to calm down. "Heroes are supposed to be strong. I'm weak."FireMaiden said:"Hey, hey, hey. It's alright, it was just a vase," Bailey said softly, hugging Arabelle. "You'll be alright, hey your the hero, the adventure, you can do this no matter what happens. Trust me."
"Eliana said that people at her school idolize me. I feel like I have to stay strong so I don't disappoint them."FireMaiden said:"Oh really, I didn't know that," Bailey said with a smile, "Did you know there's a frail girl in Loudwater? Pour girl can't do much of anything, but single handedly saved the whole town using her words. There was no bloodshed, he'll nothing happened once she had gotten done talking. Why? Because while she was tlaking, everyone escaped, and the bandits left. She's weak, well she's old now, but she was weak, but still a hero. You don't need to be strong to be a hero."
"You're much stronger than me, you know that."FireMaiden said:"Well, everyone needs a hero. And all heros have weaknesses. If those kids knew what you go through to be that hero, they wouldn't mind if you disapoint them. I mean for fucks sake, all the things you've gone through and your still going, sounds like your stronger thank you know. Your stronger than me that's for sure."
Katherine playfully punched him in the arm "I would say, why didn't you say anything?!" Katherine said with a laugh, but scolding like as well.Baku said:"Hey Katherine what would you say if I know the exact location of Lightbringer. And that I know the person who's guarding it."
