Butterflies | Helen and Richard

It had been three months since Helen first found out she was with child. Her figure was growing and she had curves in places she was not used to. It had been a strange process for her. It was the most natural thing a woman could do. She helped so many women go through this beautiful, amazing, and scary adventure. She did not understand why she all of a sudden felt foreign in her body. She was too aware of herself and very self conscious.

She had not realized that she had become very reserved. She wore heavy garments to hide her growing belly which she was once very proud of. She felt ugly and did not know how to cope with feeling this way. It was not until Richard caught her attention that she began to realize how she was truly feeling.

Aftermath

@principedeimercenari

Being stuck in Elsa’s shop had been an ordeal. As soon as it was safe, she made her way back to her home. It was damaged by the storm and part of her roof had caved in. Thankfully no trees had fallen onto her worn down cottage. The first thing she noticed when she stepped foot in her home was the water inside. There was flooding which hopefully would dissipate in a few days. It could have been much worse and she was thankful she was alive and her house was in one piece.

“Richard? Are you here?” Her heart was pounding. She was not sure if he had made it back safely. She did not want to be apart from him like that ever again.

The Next Day...

@lincolnshirehealer Waking with a pain of a thousand exploding suns in his head, the old mercenary let out a groan as he sat up and his eyes widen in sudden realization… This wasn’t the tavern, this was Helen’s home. Quickly, he stood, looking around to find the red haired lass “Helen?

She was awake much earlier than he was. She did little things around her home like clean and organise before making breakfast. She caught glimpses of her mercenary out of the corner of her eye. He slept soundly and he probably would be hungry when he woke up. 

She was in the kitchen making a breakfast when she heard him call her name.

“You are awake! I was starting to get worried.”

Unlikely Meeting | Helen and Richard

@principedeimercenari

Helen’s daily trip to the market was not the most eventful. There was the chance of her seeing a patient or a passerby that recognized her, but that was all. She remembered when she had fallen in the market a few weeks ago. Nothing had been in her way and no one had bumped into her. So when she had fallen this time, she immediately panicked. However, she was sure someone had bumped into her and caused her to drop all of her herbs and other items she had bought.

“I hope you help me pick everything up! I am sure you bumped into me!” Her reaction would not have been so harsh had she not panicked.

Sadness | Helen and Richard

Helen was unsure of what was wrong with her today. It seemed that everything was going to her plan. She was happily in love. Her living was good. The house was getting back in order after the storm. However, she could not fight back her tears through the day. Richard had gone on his outing as he did every day and she would go about her appointments and cleaning. When he came home, she was sitting on the couch and fighting back tears for what seemed like the twentieth time. 

“Richard?”
