742.03.24 | Chocolate is good for the soul - Ameris - 28.Mar.21 She set Eris down as soon as they entered the weyr, her daughter was a heathen and couldn't be trusted to walk the distance from the creche to her rooms. Ameris knew the small girl would be off like a shot if she even gave her a chance, so the woman didn't. Mizeath was highly amused at the thoughts of it, though she also worried that the girl would get into things she shouldn't. She hadn't so far but it was only a matter of time. "Ma, Eris has something she shouldn't!" Rislan called out to her and Ameris darted after her daughter before she could get too far away with a box that gave a rattle. She was smiling when she read the note, M'ris had suffered a difficult loss and her weyrmate was.. Dealing the best he could with as much help from her as he would take. She wondered if her stomach could handle the chocolate she found inside the box. Pregnancy always seemed to knock her on her ass for the first few months and this one was no different than when she'd been pregnant with her older children, but there were times when it was settled enough she could enjoy things. Like now. She'd managed to keep some klah down so Ameris was confident a couple pieces of chocolate would be fine. "You can have one, Rislan," she told her son as she dug one out to give it a test. When it stayed down, she grabbed another. Two was safe but anymore and she knew her stomach would rebel. She handed a choclate to her son while she grinned around the bite in her mouth. Her eyes widened slightly when her stomach started to turn. Pain bit into her stomach as she watched Rislan hit the floor, body shaking as the boy wrapped his arms around his stomach. "Rislan?" she shrieked as the pain sliced through her again and she collapsed in a heap. Her teeth ground together as her body shivered and convulsed. Ameris? she could hear the panic in Mizeath's voice but the woman couldn't answer, couldn't reach for the dragon that had always been her strength. What was happening? She could hear Eris shrieking and the roars of a dragon outside. AmerisAmerisAmerisAmeris! the grold words were slurred together, screeching so fast that they blended as she roared for her rider. The gold rallied the weyr, men and women rushing to the weyrwoman's weyr as quick as they could. They would find her curled in a ball, her son next to her and her daughter screaming for her mother as Mizeath roared her rage through the weyr. She woke a few days later to the haunted eyes of her mate and the sad look of the healers. Rislan would survive but the baby... That precious little life that had lived beneath her heart was gone.
