Just some happiness!! Artham needs it!
CHAPTER ELEVEN: A PRINCESS
The time had once again come for Nia to give birth. Artham had never mentioned Rastlen, neither had his girls. They waited and prayed they would not need to. It would be better for a girl to be a Song Maiden anyway.
Esben only paced for about fifteen minutes, when suddenly, the mid-wife appeared. “My lord, you have a little girl!”
Esben looked shocked. This was by far the quickest and easiest birth yet! He followed the woman out, and Artham and Arundelle exchange a smile. Not yet. Not yet, but soon they would mention one of the other blessings in their lives.
When the time came for the others to be sent for, Nia and Esben were perfectly happy and ready. They had already named the baby, combining the two girls’ names they had liked: Leeli Romy Wingfeather.
She was beautiful, with clear blue eyes and soft golden girls atop her pretty head. Her brothers came in first, and they were both very gentle and completely in awe of their sister.
When Artham came in, one thing was clear. He was all but at this baby’s disposal. He completely melted when he saw her, whether he was willing to admit it or not. Ari and Arthra fawned over her as well, but no one quite so much as Artham did. It took Podo and Wendolyn a few minutes before they entered, and Podo seemed angry when he saw his grandchild in Artham’s arms.
“If you drop my grandbaby,” he muttered, loud enough so Artham heard. Artham tried to ignore the comment, but it made him feel angry.
Then, Leeli opened her eyes and gave the tiniest smile to Artham. He forgot his anger.
Wendolyn and Podo were happy to see their baby, but anytime Artham tried to hand over the baby, she would start to cry, and Artham’s instinct would pull her closer to him. After a while, however, she finally consented to being held by Wendolyn. It was decided upon that there was a definite resemblance between little Leeli and her grandmother.
Just happiness!!! 🤩 I mean, minus the foreshadow from season one! XP
