As the new mother stared down at her beautiful baby girl the doctor stood just nearby checking over the mother and baby's vitals.
As the baby's eyes started to slightly flutter open her mother saw the most peculiar thing,
at first glance it would appear as though the baby girl had extremely dark amber brown eyes, but as the new mother gazed her baby's eyes, she saw that they were actually a very dark red.
Concerned her brows furrowed as she looked over to the doctor, only to find he to had noticed the baby's eyes and had moved to stand beside the mother.
He reasoned that something may have happened during the development to cause the red pigment of the eyes, and then told her not to worry since the baby was in perfect health.
As the doctor left the room to attend to other patients the mother looked back to her newborn, in seeing that the baby's eyes were now closed and that she was sleeping soundly in her arms a smile appeared on the mother's face.
The smile soon slipped from her face as she hesitantly moved the baby's blanket back from her tiny shoulder, she took a deep breath and looked at the back of her daughter's left shoulder.
Upon seeing the unmistakable birthmark that was also on her own shoulder she pinched her eyes shut, covering the baby's shoulder once again, and holding her daughter safe in her arms she made a promise to herself that she wouldn't leave her daughter in the dark as her father had, she would make sure her daughter knew.
Just as she reopened her eyes a nurse walked into the room carrying the standard "It's a girl!" balloons with her.
"Hello miss Belli, how are you and your daughter doing?" the nurse asked quietly, setting the balloons in a corner of the room,
"Please, call me Fiona. And we're doing very well." she said, smiling kindly at the nurse.
"Alright Fiona. Well have you picked out a name yet?" the nurse asked, sitting in the chair next to the bed,
"Yes, I'm going to name her Veera Ayla Belli." Fiona said, smiling tenderly as she thought of her mother,
"Oh, that's beautiful! I'll have her birth certificate printed right up." the nurse said, standing up from the chair and heading out the door.
As the door closed behind the nurse Fiona looked down once again at her daughter, seeing that she was awake again,
"Don't worry my sweet girl, I'll do everything in my power to keep you safe." As she said this a thought occurred to her, making her add, "And if that's not enough I'll at least make sure you know how to protect yourself."
Her daughter simply stared into her icy blue eyes, perfectly content and at ease. Fiona smiled at her beautiful daughter and bent down to kiss her forehead before starting to softly hum a lullaby.
