The heart may freeze, or it can burn...

Aliceabella dropped to her knees slowly and picked Vlad up, trying to stand. Her knees buckled, threatening to give out.

The pregnant woman sat down and sighed, "What are we going to do now Vlad?"
Her son's response was a giggle.

Aliceabella heaved herself to her feet, gasping as a wave of nasuea hit her.
Vlad crawled into the bedroom, back towards his bag of treats.

"Thanks for the help Vladdy," Aliceabella muttered, leaning on the bathroom door and attempting to stumble into the bedroom.

Vlad pulled himself into his crib and began eating a piece of cake, getting crumbs all over himself. Aliceabella smiled fondly then slumped onto the bed, head throbbing.

Aliceabella curled up into a ball, head stinging. Vlad finished his treats and crawled onto the bed, heading towards his mother.

Aliceabella closed her eyes and fluttered into sleep, not noticing her son patting her stomach.

Forcing her eyes open, the pregnant pyrokinetic managed to work her way into a sitting position. Her eyes fluttered around the room, coming to rest on the clock. "I wonder where Ryland went..." Aliceabella muttered, rubbing her sore head.
Vlad smacked his lips and looked around, "Papapa?" He seemed to be thinking the same thing as his mother.

Aliceabella stood groggily, closing her eyes for a moment to help regain balance. She picked Vlad up, her purse and her room key, deciding to go for a walk.
