*Kero eyes him...then turns red*
Jeez....I should know that....I knew I should have trained as one...Bez...you know more about this than me...name what you need, and I'll get it for you...there's not much else I can do here...

"Support him, would ye.... I need to check him out...." hisses Bez starting to pull away, but Tam clutches at him frantially.
"Why won't it stop?" he cries tensing up.

Tam hisses and clutches at his hands, his claws biting into Kerobian's palms.
Bez does a quick check and nods. "Soon, dulcha.... I can see the top of a head... pant... let it ease forth or ye'll tear..."

*Kero nods...layering his voice with music....not magic, simply a soothing song*
Pant, Talesian...Pant....Pant...

Ten minutes later a piercing cry, brings tears to Kerobian's eyes. Bez carefully lays the babe on Tam's stomach after making certain it's nose and mouth are clear, then ducks back down without even cutting the chord.
Tam reaches out to touch the tiny head and begs to know... "Is it... ok?"
"Stop pushing, dulcha... breathe... pant... number two is trying to make it's way out and the chord is around it's neck... warns Bez worriedly. He eases his hand under the babe's chin and loops a finger about the chord then puls it free.. Now... he cries."
This time there is no cry. ONly the sound of Bez frantically working to clear the young one's air ways.

*Kero moves over, taking the babe from Bez...gently, he clears its airways, sucking out the mucous that clogs them...he ties off the cords as well...that, at least, he knows how to do*
Well well...so we have....
**Note....genders, please...**

That is something Tam would like to know as well... He pushes himself up and reaches for the babe in Kero's arms, examining it carefully. It is female and when it finally opens it's eyes, they are a startling green, much like his own. Bez lifts the one off his stomach and hands it to him as well. Another daughter, but her eyes are dark like her father's. Tam smiles up at Bez, exhausted and worn to a bone.
The dark babe begins to wail like a banshee... while her smaller sister merely looks at Tam with eyes that seem to want to drink him in. There is something oddly familiar about that second babe.
Suddenly Tam closes his eyes in a spasm of pain. "Shia..." he whispers, tears flowing freely down his cheeks.

*Kero moves over to him, singing a soothing tune...both to calm the babe, and to soothe Tam's grief...he hadn't realized he would know firsthand*

It is then that he gets a good glimpse of the babe's face. Before he had been so worried and determined to clear the small one's air ways to truly notice the similarity. The tiny heart shaped face stares up at him with solemn dignity, then yawns and closes it's eyes.
"Will.. will she remember?" Tam demands to know.

*Kero shakes his head*
No...not a thing, I don't believe...if she does, it will be at a later date...not now....but she will be old-souled...at times she will seem wise for her years...encourage this...i is a blessing to have...

"You knew about this, didn't you?" says Tam accusingly. His eyes glow with a protective savagery.

"What... what happened... when I left she was perfectly fine...."
Bez comes to take the sleeping baby and places her in a cradle by the bed, then he begins to clean up the room, listening in silence as Kerobian speaks.

*So Kerobian tells of what had happened...how Shia had foreseen her own death...after her love with Emnast redeemed him...and how Tamara had killed her, while trying to kill Emnast...he tells him eveything...even that he forgave Tamara at the end...and he begs for forgiveness himself...*
