"Well, that was exciting." The moment that the three little boys pulled away from me I sighed and spoke sarcastically. "What would you say about us getting out of here? We can find the door to the next stage. I for one, am done with this land of Limbo."
"L..Limbo b..b..bad!" Zayden crossed his arms in annoyance as he spoke again. His voice was so small and cute.
"N..n..no l..like L..L..Limbo." Zander was next, mirroring his brother's attitude.
"G..g..go n..now, m..m..mommy?" Zachary wasn't looking annoyed, instead he gave me hopeful eyes.
"Yes Zachary, we can go now."
I rose to my feet first and pulled them up to their feet next. I dusted them off and cleaned them up a little as I helped them all. When I pulled Zayden to his feet he reached up and wiped my cheek with his little child sized fingers.
"M..m..mommy is h..h..hurt."
"Mommy is OK. It's just a scratch, sweetheart." I wiped the blood from his fingers and then wiped my cheek on the back of my hand. "Come on now. Let's go."
The sooner that I got out of the city, the better I would feel. I never thought I would feel that way about the city that I called home, but that was how it felt to me now. This wasn't the city that I called home. This wasn't the same Colorado Springs. Not to mention, I was starting to feel that way toward the real city in the land of the living. I had spent less and less time there over the years, so I felt like the city itself was becoming a stranger to me.
Trying to move beyond all this, all the business with the city, I took the hands of the three little boys and walked out of town. I felt like I was figuratively turning my back on my home and leaving it all in the past, but that was not my intention. I only wanted to move forward and do what I needed to do. I needed to focus on what was in front of me, not what was behind me.
The four of us, five if you counted the other me hitching a ride in my head, walked on in silence. It was back to the way it had been before the little boys had finally spoken.
That had been interesting too. I know that I was acting motherly toward the three of them, but was that why they had called out to me like that? Was that the reason that they called me mommy?
I hadn't been pregnant when I left the other world. Reece and I had been so busy that we hadn't even been together since Aunt Glory and Athair mòr were here for their visit. That was a long time ago. If I were pregnant then I would have known. Reece would have known.
So, why was it I felt like I was missing something? Why was it that I felt like maybe, just maybe, these really were my children?
Were they from the first pregnancy that I lost? No, that can't be it. Dietrich hadn't seen more than one baby at that time. So, were they a future pregnancy? But that just didn't feel right either.
What was I missing? What was it that I felt like I knew but I just couldn't remember? There was something more to this. Something that would explain why these little boys were here with me.
"Can I ask where you three came from? Can you tell me that?"
"W..w..we c..came w..with m..m..mommy." Zayden looked confused.
"W..w..we g..g..go w..w..with m..m..mommy." Zander tilted his head as he looked at me.
"M..m..mommy m..made u..us." Zachary had more of the answer that I wanted to hear.
"How did mommy make you? Where did you come from?"
"W..w..we was h..h..here." Zayden put his hand on my belly and smiled.
"W..w..we was i..i..in there a..and n..now w..we w..with m..mommy." Zander sounded happy as he added.
"Y..y..you m..m..mommy, w..we b..b..babies."
They are telling me that they are inside of me but here with me. Could it be possible? Am I actually pregnant? Are these three little boys really my children? And if so, how did I not know? How did I not see it?
"So, you are here with me now, and you are back home inside my belly? You're going to be with me when I go back. You will really be my children? My babies?" I was excited and happy, but also so scared and worried. What would happen to them in the land of the living if I let something happen to them here? How am I going to make sure that they stayed safe? How am I going to make sure that all of us got home safely?
"Y..yes. W..w..we a..al..always w..with m..mommy." Zachary gripped my hand tighter as he spoke.
"M..m..me l..love m..m..mommy. M..me h..help m..mommy." Zayden hugged my leg, causing me to stop walking.
I had a thought then. These little boys weren't born yet, but they were talking to me right now. I wonder if the reason they were having such a hard time talking was because they were unborn souls. They hadn't actually lived yet so they didn't know how to talk. That was crazy, but I guess it made sense in some way.
All throughout this conversation, the three little boys led me out of town and toward the mountains. I was helping the boys up onto ledges and over rocks as they guided me in the direction that they wanted me to go.
I couldn't see what they could, at least not yet. I was hoping that I would see it soon though. I wanted to get out of this Limbo and move to the next place. Not that I thought the next place would be any better than this place.
I was actually expecting the next level of the underworld to be a lot worse. I mean, I was moving further into hell. The only thing that would make sense was for it to be filled with a lot more evil and a lot less good people.
"M..mommy! L..l..look! D..d..door!" Zayden bounced happily after I helped him over the next hurdle. I was too busy helping his brothers to see it yet, but I knew it was there. He saw it so it had to be real.
"We are almost there." I smiled as I answered him.
After that, the three boys pulled me up and over the boulder that had been in our way and then they tugged me along to the door that was just standing there, waiting for us. This was the door that we had been looking for, this was the way out of the Limbo that we had found ourselves in.
The closer to the door that I got, the more that I thought it resembled the last one that I had gone through. Only there were some designs on the sides of this one that I didn't understand. The lettering or symbols made me feel horrible on the inside.. It was like I was instantly filled with regret for something, but I couldn't remember what it was.
