CHAPTER THRITY-TWO: PRECIOUS DAUGHTER
The midwife brought the baby downstairs the following morning to eat some food. The baby was whimpering slightly.
âAh, donât worry, my wee bairn. Iâll get ya some food.â
âIs that the baby?â Madia asked, sitting up. The midwife paused, smiling.
âAye, my queen. Youâve got yourself a granddaughter.â
Madiaâs eyes watered. She stood up quickly, and just at that moment, Esben and Emerald walked in.
âMy queen, would you like to have a hold while I get her some food?â
âI would love nothing more.â
The midwife smiled and placed the baby in Madiaâs arms. âOh, you beautiful thing. The image of your father. But I see your mother there. Oh, beautiful girl.â
âWhatâs her name?â Emerald asked, walking a little closer and stroking a rosy cheek.
âThe parents didnât get that far. It was hard on them both. Theyâre still asleep so Iâve been taking care of the bairn. In fact, let me go get her food!â
âEmerald, would you like to hold her?â Madia asked.
Emerald looked uncertain. She looked at her hands. âI donât think I could hold something so tiny and fragile, andâŚand precious.â
âOh, my dear. What about you Esben?â
âSure,â Esben stammered.
âCome sit down.â
Esben flushed, sitting next to Madia. He placed his arms in the correct position to hold her, and Madia handed the little girl to him.
âOh, she is so beautiful. I got a niece,â he said, half-laughing, half in shock
He bent down and softly pressed his lips against her forehead. âWould you like to feed her Esben?â the midwife asked, coming in with a little bowl of something.
Esbenâs eyes lit up. âYes. I would.â
In the bedroom, Artham slowly awoke. âArundelle?â
She rubbed her eyes sleepily. âYes?â
âDidnâtâŚdonât we have a baby now?â
Arundelle paused for a moment. âI think so.â
âThenâŚwhere is she?â
Ariâs eyes widened. She sat up straight. âWhere is she?!â
Artham started up. âShe was just born; she couldnât have gotten far.â
âWell, we need to find her!â
Arundelle stood up, but then her legs gave out and she found herself sitting back on the bed. âLet me help you,â Artham said, giving her his arm.
They walked downstairs, and they heard giggles and laughter. Their speed quickened, and they saw Esben holding the baby, watching the little twitches of her face.
Arundelle gasped, and she rushed forward. She extended her arms, and soon the little girl was in her arms.
âArtham, sheâs beautiful,â Emerald said, smiling. Esben was completely silent, but Artham could tell by the look on his face that he was thrilled.
âCongratulations you two,â Madia said, drying her eyes.
âWhat are you gonna name her?â Emerald asked.
âWe didnât name her yet?â Arundelle asked.
âI guess not,â Artham said, rubbing the back of his neck.
âWhat about her middle name being Pearla? That was my motherâs name,â Arundelle said, quietly cuddling her daughter.
âThatâs perfect. But what about her first?â
âI donât know.â
âWhat about Arthra?â Artham asked, walking towards his small and perfect family.
âOh yes! Itâs beautiful! Why that name? What does it mean?â
Artham laughed awkwardly, as Arundelle placed the baby in his arms. His cheeks were a little pink as he spoke. âIt comes from my name. Iâve always liked it, uh, not because it comes from my name! Just because uh, I thought it was pretty. And sheâs pretty, just like her mom, and um, it means âSoldierâ or âPrincessâ or âScholarâ. Mine means the same except âPrinceâ.
âI love it,â Ari said, kissing the top of Arthraâs head. âHello there, little Arthra.â
Funny story. I had a very different Wingfeather story in mind before I settled on this one, and Arthra was originally Artham's niece (through Emerald). Her name was Emiko, because I was really into Ninjago and I combined those two things to make one crazy story that made no sense. I was writing this story and I typed out Arthams name incorrectly, and from that misspell I got the name Arthra. So, literally, Arthra comes from the name Artham đ¤Łđ
Also if you read all of that here's a cookie! đŞ
