The answer is not an immediate no. She bites her lip, thinking about it. (Hugs from Edie have been nice, and Emily is Edie's sister and-)

"Yes?" she says, a little uncertainly.

Permalink

Emily hugs her.

Permalink

She leans into the hugs slightly, returns it a little hesitantly.

Permalink

It turns out Emily gives good hugs.

Permalink

Well, Blaze doesn't have a lot to compare it to, but the hug is good. She relaxes a little more.

Permalink

Edie finishes her roll and then Blaze can get hugged by two people instead of only one.

Permalink

She is briefly confused, and then just lets herself enjoy feeling safe and cared about.

Permalink

That is good because she is both of those things.

Permalink

She relaxes a little more into the hugs, half wanting to hug both of them back, but one hand is resting on her stomach again (as though her baby can feel that), and she can't persuade herself to move it.

There's a faint, tingling sensation, that shifts to something...almost prickly, inside her stomach.

Permalink

"--I think the baby just manifested."

Permalink

"I- is that-? All that is?" Blaze manages to keep her voice from being too panicked. "I- it's not something... wrong?" (Please don't be anything wrong.)

Permalink

"What are you feeling?"

Permalink

"I- a sort of. Tingly. Prickling sensation?" She moves her hand a little. "Mostly here, but a little all over my stomach?"

Permalink

"That's probably just the baby, then. Congratulations, it's an electrokinetic."

Permalink

She calms some when Edie gives her verdict. Hesitates, and then, abruptly, giggles as the sensation hits an apparently ticklish spot.

Permalink

Edie giggles too and hugs her some more.

Permalink

She snuggles into Edie. "She's incredible," she murmurs, smiling down at her stomach.

Permalink

"Yeah."

Permalink

Blaze smiles, happy and calm (in a way she doesn't remember ever being before).

Permalink

Oh good. Edie has less than no desire to interrupt that; she'll just snuggle Blaze until she indicates otherwise.

Permalink

Eventually, she starts getting a little twitchy again, not exactly wanting to stop snuggling, and not really losing most of the happiness or calm, just... Needing to do something.

Permalink

"You okay?" Edie asks when she notices the twitching.

Permalink

She gives a slight shrug. "Just- still. Want to be doing something?"

Permalink

"Wanna go back to knitting?"

Permalink

She thinks for a moment, and then nods.
