"Do we really have to go right now?" Sam asked as he watched her.

James slowed, but didn't remove himself from her as he held her close, not allowing her to move away.

Sariah got everything cleaned up then forced Lark back to bed and made him lay down. "Sleep."

Artemis remained wrapped around him, sadness filling her as he slowed but she kept her thoughts to herself, instead settling with kiss across his chest softly

Lark frowed, his eyelids dropping. "But, are you sure you don't need any help?"

Josie raised brow, "Depends on why you do to convince me otherwise. "

Sam stood up and walked over to her, picked her up and carried her back, setting her on the bed and slowly laying her down. "What kind of things would convince you?"

Sariah nodded. "I'm fine, go back to sleep." she said as she pulled the covers over him.

James gave a small smile and kissed her head as he found his way back inside her, holding her there.

A shudder ran through artemis and she pulled him down to her, prepared to fall asleep this way if he'd let her

Lark was out immediately.

Josie grinned as she laid back. "You have to guess."

James kissed her gently as he continued to hold her there, shudders of pleasure rolling through him.

Sam smiled at her and kissed her gently, his hands slipping off what clothes she had put on, and then began to explore her body eagerly.

Sariah gave a small, tired smile before getting dressed and taking the wash basket and heading towards the wash board. The cool breeze outside seemed to calm her nausea slightly, but not by much.

Artemis stifled a yawn and grumbled, annoyed by her need of need of sleep. She brought her hips up to his one last time, enjoying the feeling and inviting him to use her, before promptly falling asleep

Josie shuddered happily. "That's a start to convincing me...." she murmured.

James pulled away and rolled to the side of her, holding her close while she slept.

Sam kissed her a little deeper as his hands wandered lower.

Josie kissed him eagerly, her body squirming beneath his touch.

Sam brought his hands back to her hips finally, holding her in place as their bodies became one.

Josie grinned and felt the fire seem to grow hotter inside of her I.stead of cool as he touched her as she craved. She soon lost herself in the pleasure.

Sam continued until she had, at length, passed out.

Artemis slept peacefully in his arms, the wear of pregnancy getting to her

Lark-sleeping.

Josie-passed out.

Lolz

James sighed and slipped out of the bed, careful not to wake her, and dressed, though his body screamed in protest, still not happy with him for all the movement. His bandages were slightly bloody, but that was fine. Nothing to bad. He slipped out of the tent to go do his chores.

Sariah sat at the washboard, the black spots coming over her again, and she fainted.

(Uh-oh.))

Lark-sleeping.

The healers were walking by when they found Sariah passed out and they quickly took her to the med tent. One was sent to Lark's tent. "Lark? Lark!" They called at the tent door.

Lark pulled himself up and dressed, fear at the tone of their voices causing him to be fully awake. He ran to the healers tents.

Sariah was passed out on the cot, her face pale.

The young boy that had been sent to fetch Lark was right on his heels.

Lark reached the tent, "What's happened? Is she okay? Is the baby okay?" The questions started pouring out.

"We're not sure what happened, we think she fainted at the washboard." The healer said as she made her way over to Sariah pouring a liquid down her throat and holding her head up so she'd swallow it. "And the baby is fine. don't worry."

Lark furrowed his brow, "But is she okay?"
