Mighty Ducks, but I do own Selene, the three Element Sisters, and the Lord
and Lady of the Underworld.---
Wildwing rolled onto his side, not fully aware that he was alone in the bed. Still under sleep's spell, he reached over to the spot where his wife should have occupied. When his arm hit the mattress, his eyes opened. Wing sat up, now fully awake. He looked around his bedroom and saw no sign of his wife. ' The baby must have gotten her up again ', he thought. He got out of bed and reached for his dresser. Getting out a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt, he got dressed. Before he left the room, he looked at the clock : 4:30. He shook his head and left his room. He found Mallory in the Rec. Room watching tv with Selene craddled in her arms. He smiled and joined Mallory on the couch. Wing kissed Mal's cheek, and swung his arm around her shoulders, careful not to wake the sleeping baby in his wife's arms.
"Good morning baby. How long have you been up?", Wing asked softly.
"Since 2:30. Selene didn't want to sleep with an empty belly.", Mallory chuckled, looking away from the tv.
"I slept through her crying again, didn't I.", he sighed, looking apologeticly at Mallory.
"Its ok!! I like getting up with her. She is my only baby. Plus I'm enjoying the time I have before she learns how to talk.", Mallory answered proudly.
"Mal, she is only two months old.", Wing laughed softly.
"I know but time has already flown by enough. It will be in no time that she is yelling for YOU in the middle if the night.", Mallory nodded.
"Why my name?", Wing asked.
"Because I'm not gonna teach her my name.", she replied with a smile.
Hearing her father's voice, Selene opened her tiny eyes. She whimpered and began to reach for Wing. Wildwing smiled brightly, removing his arm from around his wife's shoulders and took daughter into his arms. He looked down at his beautiful Selene. She had Mallory's features, but his behavior. She looked like Mallory, but acted like Wildwing.
"Has she shown any sign of having powers?", Wing asked, looking up from Selene.
"Well nothing yet. Wing, relax. She'll get her powers when she is alittle bit older. Its nothing to worry about right now.", Mallory said, patting her daughter on the head.
"I know but I just worry about her sometimes.", Wing shrugged.
"The only thing you will have to worry about is Nosedive trying to give her swimming lessons again.", Mallory laughed, taking her daughter back into her arms.
"Hey! I wanna hold her!", Wing cried, glaring at his wife.
"When you learn to get up when she cries, then you to hold her all you want.", Mallory said, glaring back at Wing.
Selene looked from her father to her mother. Her eyes began to tear up and she let out a whimper. Mallory looked down and kissed her cheek.
"See what you did!! You made her cry!", Mallory cried. She held Selene closer, kissing her forehead. Selene calmed down and grabed onto one of Mallory's long locks. Wildwing smiled and kissed Mallory.
"She looks just like you.", Wing whispered, rubbing his daughter's belly with his finger. Selene let go of Mallory's hair, and grabed onto Wing's finger. Wing chuckled. he leaned down and kissed his little girl's tiny fingers. Selene yawned and closed her eyes. Wildwing carefully removed his finger from Selene's death grip. Mallory carefully stood up, Wildwing standing as well. He followed Mallory into Selene's nursery, and watched as his wife laid their daughter in her crib. Mallory kissed Selene's cheek, then dragged Wing out of the room.
"Baby, I was wondering...... why did we name her Selene?", Wing asked, wraping his arm around Mallory's waist as they walked down the hallway towards the kitchen.
"Selene is the name of the Greek Goddess of the full moon. She presides over the fertility and abundance of the land and sea. She is a great source of inspiration and empowerment representing the lush nurturing power of motherhood.", Mallory answered as they entered the kitchen.
"Well that explains alot.", Wing smiled and kissed her. He left her side and started to look through the cabinets. Mallory looked at her husband and sighed. ' He isn't gonna like this', Mallory thought to herslef.
' But I have to tell him before they appear on our doorstep'
