It had started out as a trip to the physician’s, Four and I going to Gabe’s office for an appointment of prenatal care, and one I wasn’t looking forward to, not wanting to run into the blonde shrew. That is, until he showed up at my doorstep, saving us a trip.
Four went first, flushed with embarrassment by the time she had returned. I hoped my turn would not wreak redness upon my flesh. He gave me a general exam, even offering to bring a woman physician to me, should I want it.
Gabe is not like Cain in so many ways. He does not hold the tormented soul of the man I love, even though he has his face. Twins, they can be so unnerving.
We talked of my predicament, and I asked if he and Zarah would be sure to check in on my daughter and son, when.. if something happened to me. I still can’t shake the feeling that I have only begun this journey, even though I can almost see the ending from here.
Small talk ensued and I told him he and his companion should have more children. He told me that Zarah barely wanted Lir, which I find hard to believe, seeing how she dotes on both boys, and Charming. There are times when I see a different Gabriel and not the kind façade of a man who always offers to help me. But just as quickly, that side of him is gone, which leaves me to believe I have imagined it.
The exam stopped short of anything intimate, telling me that I was fine and that he would send Mevis to me. I probably wouldn’t be any more comfortable with her.
And then he said something that caught me completely off guard. That Argus sent his regards.
My mystery only seems to deepen and in the end, I am drawn to those who can help in my perilous journey that I fear will never be completed.
Gabe has become my new mentor. I pray that he can help me.
