Nu-reeh called to her Sisters and asked them to go get my men. Dinah made an angry sound as was characteristic and Tosu justtook off.

We sat like that and my men just watched me curiously as the contractions continued. It was such a strange sensation, theycouldn't get over it. Pain was part of life, but this was unique.

The stretching and pressure on my lower half was Like nothing they'd every experienced. They equated it to really having to usethe lacquered pot, but that had never been Like this. Evan paced nervously feeling uncomfortable with the sensation. EventuallyDamien knew we had to get control of ourselves.

The pain would not break us. Knowledge of how to deal with discomfort and the ability to refocus my mind became forefront. Mybreathing deepened, as much as it could, and | felt steadier.
