A Hayu's Dream

was thinking about having kids. He wondered how many kids we could have. I really hope we conceive. We had sex again. Bruce nearly tore off our coveralls in his haste to mate with me in our Human forms. I can’t describe it because the sex felt too indescribable. I woke up when I felt light. I checked my watch it was 5am. I look up at the entranceway to see a hand waving.

  I spoke “Hello?”

  Anther hand came around the blanket and signed “Luke, when are you going to get up? We’re having a meeting in a few minutes.”

  I told him “Okay right now.”

  I woke up Bruce and told him about his father and the meeting. We both rushed through getting dressed. We both put on the wrong coverall. I put on Bruce’s coverall by mistake. No wonder it was long. We exchanged coveralls and put them on. Then we came out of the hut. Luke looked a little worried. I asked him why he was looking worried. He told me that there was a hurricane coming. I looked over to the ocean and I could see dark clouds. The clouds looked black. They didn’t look very good. I don’t know. I hope our huts are good enough to wind stand the hurricane if not its going to be very bad. I asked Luke what we were going to do. He explained we were going to move to the Humania’s hurricane camp that is behind the mountains in the valley below. Oh. I helped the others take stuff out of the huts. Then we loaded it up on blanket wrapped between two branches. The walk up the mountain was tiring. I felt tired even in a wolf form. I even felt awful. I threw up a few times on the trail up the mountain. We took a break at the top. I could see the island for miles around. There was a huge valley with trees in it. Mountains surrounded the valley. Bruce sat next to me nuzzling my neck.

  My parents got married a month after dating each other. Then two months later mom and dad conceived me. I threw up a few times on the trail down the mountain. I think I might be pregnant. I read a lady loss her sense of smell for a while. I hope I haven’t lost my sense of smell. Bruce gave me a flower and I tried to smell it and couldn’t. I didn’t tell Bruce. I only told Heather when I saw her. She thinks it could be pregnancy. I really hope so. It’ll be nice to conceive. I really do. The baby will be due in either three days or nine weeks. We went halfway down the mountain. Luke informed me that the hurricane is hitting the island right now. It explains why it's so windy. I hope we’ll be okay. I saw some horses. It’ll be nice to ride them. I mentioned about riding them to Ord. He told me with Maureen interpreting that his people hunt them and use them for food. They also used animals for food and used the fur as coats and other items. I asked Ord how he wound up on the island.

  He wouldn’t tell me, only said “I’ll tell you that someday.”

  Then we reached their camp. There are about twenty people in the island group besides our group. The camp had several huts. We had to share it because it was too late to make more. The storm was on top of us. I was in a hut with Bruce and Annia and Heather are holding each other. I hope they won’t cause a shock among the Humanias. The storm stopped around the time the sun set for the huts seem to be very strong. They didn’t get blown down. I fell asleep. Trees were up rooted. Bruce woke me up by kissing me on the lips. I went outside and I could see it was calm the sun was shining. Then it got windy. I looked at the sun and saw it was moving back and forth. I saw Ord and told him it was the eye of the storm. Ord told us to go back to the huts and stay there. The wind picked up and the eye moved bringing powerful winds. It’s too windy outside. The storm came by. I was glad. Ooh. I’m not feeling well. I think it might be something. I hope my sickness won’t interfere with the baby. I saw several trees uprooted. It took a while to clean the mess. The mess was chopping down the uprooted trees and making more huts. Heather insisted I stay in the hut and rest. I took a nap. I woke up to find someone left a fire going in the hut. It is dark outside. I don’t know where Bruce is. I think I’ll go outside and take a walk.

  Yours,

  Dear Anne,

  Yesterday I went outside and walked around the camp in the dark. I saw Bruce. We walked hand and hand and watched Terra in the sky. It was a beautiful night. There were stars. I tried to see Earth. But I couldn’t tell where the Earth was. Then we went to the hut and had sex again. This morning it was Heather who woke us up. She woke us up. She went in the hut and woke me up. Good thing Bruce was covered. She wanted to examine us. She examined us by waving a stick over each one of us. After the examination we got dressed in private then went outside. It was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shining. There were several trees uprooted. It also felt like a warm day. I saw Ord and the others cleaning up branches scattered around camp. They even built new huts. The huts were round and made out of bark. I noticed several animals around camp. They were horses and some animals I didn’t recognize. I saw several males hunt them with sticks. We had meat for breakfast. Heather told me to go back to bed and lie down. I wanted to walk around. She told me to stay in bed for a while. She wanted me to rest from being sick. I took a nap. I was tired. I went outside to only go the bathroom and throw up. I had a feeling of being watched. I looked around and I could feel drumming vibrations. I think it’s the dragon drums. I don’t know. Lunch was meat from horses and oranges. We buried several apples. I saw Maureen throw up. Heather examined her. I told Heather about seeing them in the bushes having sex. Heather thinks it’s a baby on the way. She confirmed that Maureen is a few months expecting. I didn’t throw up today. Bruce and I helped put away stuff. I watched as the women skinned the horses that were killed. They cooked the meat. I can’t believe they eat horses. They should be using them to ride. Heather saw me and told me to go to bed. I don’t feel tired. She told me to rest because of the baby. I feel fine. I only came out to go or throw up. I feel okay. I wonder when Maureen will have the baby. I noticed that she looks pregnant. I don’t know when I’ll have the baby. I hope I’ll feel fine. I lay in bed all afternoon staring at the wall of the hut. Bruce came in looking a little sweaty. He has been chopping trees because their building new huts. Bruce left me alone to snooze. I got up and threw up outside. I saw Maureen come out of a hut and throw up. I asked her if she was pregnant which she confirmed. So I was right. I went back to the hut and lay on bed all day. I was bored. I even took a nap. Bruce woke me up to tell me it was dinner time. Dinner was meat with apples and water to drink. I threw up after eating it.

  Sick,

  Dear Anne,

  Yesterday Bruce came in the hut and we slept together. Nothing fancy we just cuddled each other with his hand on my belly. He got up at dawn. I could feel him get up. He kissed me on the cheek then got up. I woke up near noon and I feel okay. My chest feels tender. I hope it’s nothing. I also feel tired. I got up and went to eat. I ate some apples and bananas. Heather saw me and told me to go back to bed. I’m not happy about that. I would rather hang out side instead of being in a hut lying all day. I’m also bored. I took a nap. I woke up. I went outside and got a little lost due to nausea. I wandered back to the hut. I think I went to the wrong hut because I saw two people having sex in it. I went to a tree and sat down and snoozed for a bit. Bruce woke me up by kissing me on the lips. We went back to the hut. Bruce seemed to know where it is. I ate an apple. It’s the last of our apples. I guess I’ll have to bury the seeds in the ground. Good thing there’s no lawnmowers. Bruce and I had meat for dinner then Bruce led me back to the hut. I lay down on the bed and wrote. My stomach feels tender. I’m think I might be expecting. I feel a little glorious. I feel too wound up sleeping. I wandered outside and watched the sun disappear down the horizon. I went to find Bruce. I found him teaching the others how to ride the horses. I didn’t know he was a horse rider. I told him that. He told me he was not a horse rider and he never ridden a horse before. Heather came by and told me to go back to bed. I asked her why I have to stay in bed. She explained it was to prevent a miscarriage. Bruce walked me back to the hut. I sat next to the campfire in the hut. There’s
a hole in the roof. It is a cool night. Bruce is asleep next to me. I should be sleepy but I’m not.

  Wound up,

  Dear Anne,

  Bruce woke me up. I wonder why. He carried me outside to eat. Breakfast was meat. Then there was a meeting. We talked about babies. I sat in Bruce’s lap. Maureen seemed more pregnant than me. Bruce carried me back to the hut. I lay down on the bed. Bruce went out to do something. I wonder what. I’ll ask him later. I feel tired and a bit nausea. I took a nap and I felt much better. I’m also a bit thirsty. I went to find water. I saw Bruce cutting a tree. He took his coverall off at the waist. He has muscular arms. Whoo. Bruce carried me to a small pond. Told me it was for drinking water. I took a sip. It tasted okay. I drank my fill then Bruce carried me back to the hut. I went inside. I feel fine. My abdomen is still a little tender and so is my chest. I feel fine physically. Lunch was more horsemeat and oranges. I’m getting annoyed eating horse for dinner. We should be riding them. Hmph. Bruce came by and told me there is going to be a meeting in a few
