That Fade acting up again. I dunno how you lot do it, walking around with all that nonsense happening when you sleep. Suppose I prefer gettin' covered in shit, piss and afterbirth then.
Six? [An owlish blink. This seems to wake him up more than the coffee.] Um. You know I'm going to want to hear everything. Did she survive? Did the babies?
[ She nods with the grim satisfaction of one who's seen many, many things. ]
All of 'em. Blasted miracle, frankly, but she's built like a druffalo to start with and already had one before these. Was expecting maybe twins, but...
[ She trailed off, getting a far off look in her eye. ] You ever have to crouch under someone to catch a baby when they've been at it for 13 hours? Time ain't even real at that point, it's just shit and piss and babies all the way down.
I've had to catch from underneath, sure, but usually when it's just...more comfortable for her. Though I have had to go in with tools when she got too tired. And once I got Sid's help removing a baby with magically assisted surgery.
Second one came easy enough. No more than 15 minutes by my count. Third was 12 and fuck all if I know the rest. Reckon I'll have notes for you after I've collected myself and you can come up with me to check on 'em. Don't think their mother would mind if her healing got sped up a bit.

Shared dream. Very intense. I think everyone who was asleep in the Gallows last night was there.

The Brewer's wife had her labor. Six babies.

Tools are well and good, but sometimes it's best to just reach in and grab. Only time I'm glad to be this small.
