[the duo made their way bk to the house]
Wander: (enters the house) Mama?
[there was no reply]
Hater: Mama...? [looked ard the area]
Wander: (grows worried)... Mama, you okay?? (goes to look for her)
Hater: [tries to find her in the nursery, since he remembered she was going to put the litter dwn for a nap, then gasped as he saw her slumped on the floor next to the crib] Mama!! M-Master...!!
Wander: (hurries to the sound of Hater's cry) ... :O Mama! (kneels next to her, trying to waken her)
Wildflower: [groaned a little, her breathing a little shallow]
Hater: [chk tht the litter were OK, fast asleep, then searched for the breathing apparatus n passed it to Wander]
Wander: (places the breathing piece on Wildflower's mouth) :(
Wildflower: [takes in the oxygen, breathing in as much as she could as she slowly stirred] Nnnhh...
Hater: [watches worriedly]
Wander: Mama...? Mama, you alright? :(
Wildflower: [slowly sits up] Nnnhhh... Yeah, I think so...
Hater: U were supposed to put that breathing apparatus on at all times, Mama, wat with ur health...
Wildflower: Sorry... I thought I felt better n don't need it for the day... Guess I underestimated myself, haha...
Wander: (embraces her) You had me scared that...that you might've...;(
Wildflower: [chuckled n hugged him bk] It'll take a lot more than that to take me dwn. I'm not missing u boys getting married even if the Angel of Death itself is knocking at my door literally
Wander: (sighs)... We found what's wrong with Dipper.
Wildflower: Oh? Is he OK? Wat's wrong with him?
Hater: [bit his lip, afraid of how she'd react if he told her]
Wander:... He's deaf.
Wildflower: :O Oh no... How is that possible?
Wander: :( (explains what the medic said) ...and Hater feels you'd hate him for this happening...
Wildflower: Oh, Hatey... :(
Hater: I'm sorry... I'm sorry... It's my fault, Mama... I knew something would go wrong... I knew something bad would rub off frm me on the litter... I'm sorry... ;(
Wander: (hugs him, comforting) It's not your fault, Hatey... it's not your fault... :(
Wildflower: Oh Hatey, come here [leans in to hug him as well] It's not ur fault, these things happen, n u can't control it anymore than Wander can
Hater: But... [was stopped by Wildflower's finger on his lips]
Wildflower: Do u think it's my fault tht Treetrunk was born sterile?
Hater: N-No...
Wildflower: And do u think it's my fault tht I hv cancer? Do u think I should blame my parents or my ancestors for having this hereditary disease?
Hater: N...No...
Wildflower: Then it's not ur fault Dipper is deaf, he's just born this way n there's nothing u could've done to prevent it. U hv done everything right wen u were pregnant, n I made sure of tht as well. It's fate. A fate tht couldn't be avoided evn if u try. So stop blaming urself, OK?
Hater: [sniffled] ;(
Wander: She is right, Hater... we can't always control fate...
Hater: [sniffles] Ur right... It's just tht... I can't help feeling bad, tht I'm responsible...
Wildflower: I know u do, it's ur maternal instincts, but don't dwell on it too long. No one is blaming u for anything, OK?
Hater: [sniffles] (nod)
Wander: :) Feel a bit better, Hatey?
Hater: (nod) Yeah, a little. U guys r so understanding, it's almost unreal
Wildflower: That's wat we are :D
Wander: ^^ Never hurts to help.
Hater: [chuckled] Heh, would be a nice catch phrase for u if u weren't an overlord (giggle)
Wildflower: (giggle)
Wander: Heh, yeah... :)
Hater: So wat are we gonna do now? With Dipper unable to hear us and all...
Wander: ...We'll have to start learning it and teaching him as well.
Wildflower: Best if start early. Maybe u can find someone to teach Dipper, tutor him in tht. U got the money, power n connections
Hater: That sounds like a plan
Wander: (nod)
Hater: I reli hope Sylvia n Peepers r doing OK out there tho. No word frm them since the last time u called them
Wander: Hopefully Sylvia's taking care of that mission and being safe. And maybe you can try texting Peepers again, Hatey.
Hater: I want to, bt I don't want to be a nuisance n all tht. Who knws, he might be tagging along with her on the mission n I might be interrupting him
Wander: I don't think Sylvia would want him to get involved in anything dangerous...
Hater: Probably. But I better not bother him. He's probably busy with his own thing while waiting for Sylvia
Wander: Who knows. (shrugs)
