Now, pry the baby from Torix. She needs to meet the grandma who will outlive her mommy.”
Dreama winced. “I didn’t mean to say that you will have a short life.”
“I won’t have a short life. I will have an exponentially expanded life, but it isn’t endless. Even the fey grow weary of the weight of time now and then. I just know that while I may watch more generations born, I will never see them all. It is the burden of the parent. The children restart the clock and you are left behind.”
Dreama carefully took the baby, and she smiled. “She is beautiful.”
“I would have to agree, but I am biased. She will have magic, and she will have a beast. What she does with either one of those is up to her.” Gera smiled.
Torix chuckled. “You gave her a warrior’s name.”
Riox came in and sat next to Gera on the bed, taking her hand. “You should have seen her fighting inside Gera’s belly. I was afraid she would punch through. She is a warrior, just like her mother.” He lifted her hand to his lips and smiled.
The Williams came into the room, and soon, all the grandparents were taking turns with the newest addition to the family.
Riox held her close and whispered, “When can we start on her next sibling?”
“Give me a few weeks and we can start trying. I want to spend time with her first. They are only this small once.”
“Fair enough.” He kissed her temple, and they watched their little one carefully.
When Rylin demanded food, Dreama brought her over, and Gera attached her to her breast, wincing as the little one got a grip.
It was a weird family moment, with everyone watching the baby feed, but then, Gera had accepted that she didn’t have a normal family. Weird was where things were comfortable.
