Chaotic Situations...Part 5b

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 15239

"Is anybody here a midwife, by any chance?" groaned Astra 5b.

The crowded area seemed almost not to hear the woman, their faces all had looks of consternation, bewilderment, fear, awe, and curiosity.

The Manfox and the Shefoxes were busy inspecting the area, using eyes, ears, hands, and nostrils to uncover something –anything- that could be used to their advantage.

Thelma 2 and Joan 2 seemed lost in some inner troubles while Annafrid 2, Jarlath 2 and Andrea 3 were attempting some kind of magical synthesis.

It was Fred 5b and his sister Rowena 3 who went first to her, followed almost instantly by Astra 9a. "Aaaaaaigh!" screamed Astra 5b. This got everyone's attention. Unfortunately everyone seemed to react identically... The two Fred's in the group tried to gather the pregnant woman's spirits while the She-foxes, Thelma, Annafrid and Joan tried to mother her, Astra 9a whispered some Aqualarian proverb in Astra 5b's ear, while Rowena 3 regained enough of her self-consciousness and embarrassment at having no clothes that she tried to hide away in the corner. Jarlath 2 and Andrea 3 were the only two to keep back. They whispered amongst themselves and shortly nodded their heads.

"Alright everyone," said Jarlath 2. No one paid him any heed.

"QUIET!" yelled Andrea 3. And they did!

"Thank you," said Jarlath to Andrea. "Now then, Annafrid will pull while Joan comforts, and Andrea and I will aid with some magical protections. Any questions?"

Unfortunately the whole room exploded with questions and clarifications and doubts, even while poor Astra 5b continued her groaning and began a series of abrupt heaves and sighs. Jarlath tried to control the babble, tone down the voices, but to no avail.

"SHUT UP!" yelled Andrea 3. And they did!

"Thanks again," said Jarlath a bit perplexed by his lack of authority. "No problem," she whispered back. Jarlath was about to speak again when Astra 5b screamed, "My baby's coming!!!"

  1. ...and still there were others who were traveling within the pyramid looking for the source of the screams and groans
