Briena was sitting at home going through the recent photos that she took. She couldn't help but smile happily at all the ones that had little freshlings in them. Freshlings were such cute innocent little creatures and even though she had never really considered having kids before, she couldn't help but wonder what life would be like if she did. Truth be told, she had always told herself she didn't want kids. She was more than happy doing her own thing whenever she wanted but the more time she spent around children the more that thought came creeping up, the thought that she thought she had put out of her mind a long time ago. The want to have a kid.
Briena mused to herself, wondering if it was really all that good of an idea? She spent a good amount of her time traveling, even if she had been here for longer than she was used to and had even found a good job at a studio and it looked as though she'd be here for a while longer. She was, in fact, sure that she'd be here long enough to raise a kid and send them to the Academy. She seemed to have a good job, a stable life (for now) and plenty of time to do it, so why was she stalling?
Perhaps it was because she wasn't sure she could be a good mother. Truth be told, she wasn't entirely sure what a good mother looked like. Her parents weren't all that great at being people, much less taking care of someone who depended on them. Would she be just like them? She shook her head. No. She couldn't, nor wouldn't, ever be like them. She knew she wouldn't be the best parent in the world, but by the Nine she'd be a parent that her children could look up to. She drew in a breath and nodded. She'd do this. She'd finally bring a child into this world. And they'd have a better life than she ever did.
