Robin
hitched the horse to their cart and rushed Sarah
to the village sorceress for help. The sorceress
(who went by the very auspicious title of Wright
Honorable ObMann) told the couple that she couldn't
undo the evil curse but, she could cast a good
spell of Bedrest, give Sarah a potion called Antibiotics
and a tonic called Terbutaline
. The sorceress kept Sarah in her tower for
many days to make sure that she didn't turn into
a toad or some other frightful creature (side
effects of curses you know!). She finally sent
Sarah home to be with her family once more. Sarah
returned to ObMann's tower several times for minor
adjustments in the spell, however things were
looking up.
The
good spell worked for two more weeks, until finally
Sarah became very ill. The Wicked Witch o' Rupt
Branes was up to no good again. She used all her
powers of meanness and Sarah began to have very
hurtful tummy pains! Robin hitched up the horse
and cart again and off they went to the sorceress'
drafty tower. ObMann was very disturbed by this
turn of events and spent many hours scouring
|
The
Book of Farmacutium. She finally found a spell
that she hoped would save Sarah and keep the tiny
baby inside for a bit longer...the Magnesulf
Spell, that works wonders but, burns terribly
inside because it's made of 1000 dragons' breath.
The Magnesulf Spell was successful at keeping
that wee bairn exactly where she belonged.
Finally,
on August 17, 1999, the evil PROM curse took over
Sarah's body and there was nothing anyone could
do to stop it. Sarah was only 25 weeks with child!
The baby was arriving 15 weeks too early. At 10:40
p.m., the tiniest baby arrived with a cry as soft
as a miniature kitten. She weighed 1 pound 8 ounces
and was 12 3/4 inches long. The family named her
Isobel Lula. When Estee saw Isobel for the first
time, she declared her nickname to forevermore
be The Bean, because she was the size of the mystical
beast known as the Beanie Bear.
