In my 36th year, we found out that it was a miracle that I conceived a couple years before, as the test results showed that Rusty, possibly as a result of medication he had to take, had male factor infertility. This was hard news for both of us and we processed in different ways the … Continue reading 6. Diagnosis

2b (Argentum’s Song)
There had only been one other time when she had almost tried striking up a conversation. Three days ago, Thom, the old guard, had pulled out the pan reed flute that he would play every so often. He started playing a lilting dance tune and, as their work was already finished for the night, she … Continue reading 2b (Argentum’s Song)

(Trust me this will make more sense in a few entries. For now, just know that the italicized entries are from a different perspective.) During Alex's 34th year: The little one and the tiny bit littler one looked at each other and smiled. They didn't have eyes, but they could see. Sometimes their vision was … Continue reading 5. ??
2a (Argentum’s Song – PG)
Chapter Two Martha watched with a mixture of admiration and disappointment as the lanky youth, with the fur poncho and huge sword slung on his back, diffused the potential violence between Ladin and the massive barbarian that had just saved them from the monsters. She had been half hoping that Ladin would get some of … Continue reading 2a (Argentum’s Song – PG)
Rusty’s 1st Bee Story – Part 3
Trying hard not to scratch Rusty returned to his room, finished changing and snuck into the back of the chapel a little late. Rus waved him over to a spot of pew he had saved. “Did you get help? Your face looks a lot worse.” Rusty felt at his now lumpy face and nodded. “She … Continue reading Rusty’s 1st Bee Story – Part 3
1e (Argentum’s Song – PG)
Ladin turned and burrowed into his private sledge. His upper torso disappeared behind the canvas and the muted thuds and clangs suggested a frantic search. Argent was almost done bundling their few provisions into two furs by the time Ladin emerged. The merchant had two fists full of much more silver than Argent could count. … Continue reading 1e (Argentum’s Song – PG)
4. … Dashed
So here is the thing. That "protecting" I was talking about? It didn't work. Before I even got to a doctor, I miscarried. A high and then a low. Many of you know what that feels like. On top of that disappointment of the loss, I felt embarrassed about having told so quickly. Feeling alone … Continue reading 4. … Dashed
1d (Argentum’s Song – PG)
Ladin stiffened as he observed the confrontation. He backed up against his personal sledge and his eyes flitted to the snow covered vegetation surrounding their clearing. “What do we do to ensure infection doesn't occur? Could there be more out there?” “Build pyres over them and burn them. Don't touch them. And yes, of course … Continue reading 1d (Argentum’s Song – PG)
3. Hope …
Two years had passed since my husband and I married, and still no pregnancy. We were busy traveling here and there with work and studying, so didn't have a lot of time to think about it. And besides I had a dream about having a baby in my 34th year and that hadn't ended yet. … Continue reading 3. Hope …

The body guard shouldered past Argent, closer to Simon. “Sooner than that I think. It won't take nearly fifteen days to reach Pheonton now, we're already nearly through the pass.” Simon pointedly did not make eye contact with Franklin and gestured to the weirwolves. “What's your assessment?” Argent looked the two corpses over. They were … Continue reading 1c (Argentum’s Song – PG)
