command.
“Neither did I. Are you willing to do this service for others here on base?”
“Of course. The moment I have my strength back.” She smiled down at the baby. “She is beautiful, perfect.”
“I would have to agree. She has my skin and your features.” He stroked the downy hair on Alvi’s head. “She will be the most beautiful woman on Ikanni when she grows up. I will have my hands full.”
Lillibeth smiled at his obvious affection for his daughter. She was unexpected by Ikanni standards, but he was adapting quickly to his first child being a girl.
“So, my first child is a girl. Is there a possibility of a second child?”
Lilli raised her eyebrows. “Maybe, once I have come to grips with the little matter of an eleven and a half month pregnancy.”
He pressed a soft kiss to her neck. “I will start working on it right now.”
As his kiss continued beyond her neck, she had an unsettling thought, “You mean the coming to grips with right? Not the trying to get me pregnant right away again? Right?”
He looked up at her and curved his lips in a slow and deliberate smile.
She would have felt so much better if he would have answered her.
Author’s Note
This story isn’t strictly Christmas. Rather, it celebrates (in my little mind) the feelings around it. We have a strange star (Ikanni), the ghosts of events past, present and future (the Heshi), an elf (Orriko), an old man with long white hair (Alvar), a tree, a home and a baby.
When you add the snowball fight, it seems like a pretty good Christmas to me.
Thanks for reading,
