I was led away from the room by one of the nurses whilst the other called the crash team. I was weeping and shaking. I was sure she had died, taken away by the angel she thought she saw. Some bloody angel.

I asked to be left somewhere I could sit quietly. I was left in the office. I tried to go inside myself and see if there was something wrong with me. Also, if there was a sacrifice required, then it should be me, not a baby like Trish.

I seemed able to centre myself very quickly and in what seemed no time at all I was moving down inside myself then using the energy I tried to follow where Trish was. To my surprise she appeared to be in some sort of limbo. Down below, doctors were working hard to restart her heart, while her spirit, if that is the word, seemed to be sitting in a garden waiting to be told what to do next.

I had no qualms about what I wanted to happen. I wanted her back with me and the rest of her family. She’d suffered enough, trying to help me fight off an attack by a crazy Stella. I tried to walk into the garden to tell her to go back to her body, all would be well, but I couldn’t–it was like I was watching it all on film–I just couldn’t access her.

I tried to send the light to her and couldn’t achieve it with either her corporeal form or her spirit. I was now becoming desperate. “For God’s sake,” I heard my mouth say and was aware something was surrounding me.

“I’d be grateful if someone could tell me what is going on and how I might save the life of my daughter.”

A voice filled my head, “The child has come to the end of her allotted span.”

“Just like that?” I challenged.

Yes”

“How can you do that to a child?”

It is required by the soul to experience such things.”

“That is total crap, and you know it.”

For someone who is supposed to be so special, you are ill-informed, disrespectful and rude.”

“Yep, I plead guilty to all of those, so how do I save her life?”

Were you not listening?”

“Completely, but I still want you to cut the crap and tell me what I want to know.”

Do you have any idea with whom you speak?”

“Yeah, someone who’s too tired to show me their face.”

If we show you our face, you will die.”

“If it means you let Trish go back to her life, I don’t care–do it.”

Your arrogance does you no service.”

“Just get on with it, whoever you are.”

Who do you think we are?”

“Like I care? Just get on with it–kill me and let her go.”

But wouldn’t you like to know who removes the life from you?”

“Is that going to help Trish?”

It has nothing to do with Trish, this is about you.”

“Look if I was crossing the road and was hit by a car and left dying, it wouldn’t matter one iota who was driving the car, would it? The outcome would be the same.”

Would it not matter if it were an accident or done deliberately?”

“Only to the coroner.”

You seem to have very little regard for your own existence”

“The value in my life is made entirely of the children and adults I live with. I would gladly risk my life for any of them.”

We see you have already done so on numerous occasions.”

“So, choices had to be made, it’s no big deal.”

One day your rashness will be your undoing”

“Well, come on, let’s get it over and done with–I insist you release my daughter.” I was aware that time would be passing and the sort of recovery Trish could make would be limited.

You deliberately try to provoke us to do your bidding, foolish human, do you not know it is not the way of things.”

“Look if my request is beyond you let me speak with someone who is capable of such things.”

Now your pride begins to damage your cause and your lack of patience is exasperating to us.”

“Time is running out for my daughter, if she is damaged by your dithering I will not forget or forgive it.”

Ha ha, your foolishness is shown once again. Here there is no time. Your arrogance is pitiful but disrespectful.”

“Sorry but I’m fast coming to the opinion that you are full of shit, now show yourself or get me the head honcho.”

Prepare to die, fool.”

I began to surround myself in blue light and began a mantra of my love for my family, especially Trish. I focused on seeing them in my mind’s eye, and saying goodbye to them.

I became aware of something standing before me, but despite my efforts to see it, all I could see was a blindingly brilliant light. I continued seeing my loved ones and covering myself in blue light.

Catherine, take your child and go home. Do not expect us to be so lenient next time you provoke us.” The voice was different and had a familiarity about it.

“Thank you, milady Shekhina, for your generosity and forgiveness.”

We have not forgiven you, Catherine, but you have tasks to perform for us, which your daughter Tricia may help you complete. She too is blessed with our spirit, and has been purified by this experience. You will neither of you have any recollection of this interview. Go now.”

“Mrs Cameron, are you alright?”

I felt someone shaking my shoulder, as I emerged from what seemed like a deep sleep, “Eh?”

“Your daughter has come round and is asking for you.”

“Sorry, I must have been more tired than I thought.” I staggered to my feet and lurched off after her feeling my feet and legs coming back under control as I walked towards her bed.

“Mummmy,” she piped and I rushed to her side and hugged her. “I’m a real girl now,” she gushed.

“You always were sweetheart, but now you have the official badge to prove it.”

She glanced down at her chest, “No I haven’t, Mummy, I still don’t have boobs.”

Give em a few inches

Give em a few inches and they expect a cup size

Inches

I think Trish is the one who has given the inches.....

I have my coat and the taxi is waiting.

Unforgiven

... still confused as to what just happened but obviously Trish was allowed to live.

Does this mean she has a penitence? If so, what form will it take?

Doesn't make sense though that Trish was to be taken for otherwise the Blue Light would not have been even available for Cathy to use to heal Trish as much as she was healed.

They always mess you about, just keep pushing for the big cheese. No memory, bugger, that means when She comes back to kick arse in payback Cathy won't remember why, snotty buggers Gods.

Nice work Ang, I suspect a few people might have been a bit put out if Trish had carked it. Me included. Now what about Stella?

Kristina

Impossible task

I realize that it's probably is an impossible task but someone needs to remind Trish that she's only six.
Could Cathy blue light her and give Trish a large adult bust for a minute or two? Just until her back hurts?

There is nothing holding me.

In the ignorance of our human understanding, we want our loved ones to live. The exchange of Shekina with Cathy postulates an overbearing and inscrutable spirit. I think most people have the view that the spirit is harsh. Too bad really, because in spite of my experiences it is not that way.

Great chapter Angharad

Tell her.

They don't grow overnight little lady. Even for big girls!

Lovin this. Whoooo-wee!

Hugs.

Growing old disgracefully.

Who was Cathy arguing with? Cathy faced off against Death and won.

would admire Cathy for her willingness to sacrifice herself to save her daughter, but they seem not to care about such noble deeds. I have seen stories where someone is about to lose someone they love and they offer to take their place. Their willingness to do so was rewarded and actually admired. I guess Shekina is on a power trip. Of course by allowing Trish to live, they further their work even more. I wonder though, if it means that Cathy will be unsuccessful in saving Stella this time, should she need Blue Light intervention? That may be the trade off.

I've spent a lot of time. . .

Trying to get an answer out of deity, and have gotten a verbal response all of once, the response which broke through the taboos and internalized transphobia, and set me on the path towards transition.

Some times I've really wished for an extended interplay with deity like this.

Wait a second...

I'm never supposed to be right.

Either Shekhina is having a really bad day, or she's letting her power go to her head, or both. Cathy gets what she wants from her quite nicely.

And Trish's comment at the end is priceless.

Liked the episode

but no idea what to say about it. Gotta love Trish though. Hope she has a very long, happy, and productive life.

And she did not back down.

Cathy has an inner strength that even the Gods respect. This may have been a test to see just how far Cathy would go to protect or fight for her children, God I love this she is a women after my own heart.

The only bad question is the one not asked.

What's in store for Cathy?

“We have not forgiven you, Catherine, but you have tasks to perform for us, which your daughter Tricia may help you complete.”

Thanks A+B for taking pity on poor Trish and keeping her an active part of the story.

I can't help but wonder as to what these tasks are going to be. After the last time that Cathy encountered the goddess, there was a physiological change which resulted in her being able to breastfeed Baby C. Will there be another change after this?

Oh, and what about Stella?

Taking on a deity...

...and winning! Not bad going Cathy!

It also appears as though she's won on three accounts: (a) Trish survives, (b) she survives, (c) since this is told from Cathy's POV in the past tense, evidently she doesn't forget the conversation (well, not immediately / permanently anyway!)

So Shekhina has officially announced Trish is also blessed with her spirit - something we've sussed for a while since Trish has done a few spots of solo BLH herself. There's also a possibility Julie's been blessed as well, since she's performed a tag-team BLH with Cathy (on Maureen) and has sent out a 'location beam' to Cathy (on the run from murderers when visiting a club with Phoebe) - although AFAIK Julie hasn't performed a solo BLH yet (and may have forgotten she has the ability).

tremble before the dynamic force that is Cathy.
