A/N: I'm sorry for not writing anything for a while but I'm going to make it up to you. This story takes place before the show. This story focuses on how Calista came to part of Cedric's family. I will decide once I see what you guys think. Enjoy! This will be in Cedric's POV.
Sofia the First: Calista
I wish I wasn't here, wished I was still in my quiet Workshop working on potions or even seeing to King Roland's or even the twin's needs! But I wasn't. In fact, the reason I was sitting in the living room in my parent's cottage was because Cordelia was giving birth.
I could really care less if my sister was giving birth or causing mischief in who knows where she'd like to go but mummy had asked for me to be here for the baby's birth and knowing myself I couldn't turn down her request being the momma's boy I was. So here I was, sitting on the couch in the living room with father. We didn't say anything to each other, just sat and listened to Cordelia's screams in the other room where mother and father's room was located.
I felt sorry for mother. I didn't know how she could stand the screaming but being a mother I guess she was use to it since she had done it herself while giving birth to Cordelia and I. I covered my ears when another scream sounded, my brother-in-law sure was lucky he wasn't here this very minute but he was on his way. I uncovered my ears and looked at father, he had been in this position twice and he didn't flinch as much as I did.
I leaned back against the couch hoping this madness would soon end and the sooner the better. Whatever was happening back there, it was no beautiful moment. I decided to look out into space hoped to push out all of the noise but once I was staring at the ceiling and out into space I didn't know how long I was there cause once I was back to reality mother had walked out again but this time she had informed us of the baby's arrival.
"Want to see the new baby?" mother asked. Father and I didn't answer but instead followed her to the back room where we saw Cordelia holding a small bundle in blankets.
I didn't move from the entrance of the doorway as mother and father looked at their first grandchild. Cordelia was sitting up and smiling as she held her child. "So is it a girl or a boy?" father asked as a smile came to his face.
"It's a girl." Mother answered his question, not turning away from the baby. "What are you going to name her Cordelia?"
"Calista." Cordelia answered she then looked up towards the doorway where I stood and asked "Well, are going to look at your niece Cedric or stand there like as though you were failing your conjuring exam?"
"Very funny Cordelia." I muttered and rolled my eyes as I walked over to mother's side to look at the newborn. When I did I didn't know what came over me because a small smile formed as we watched Calista open her eyes.
"Who wants told her first Cordelia asked. Mother was about answer until all of a sudden I said I wanted to. Everyone was surprised at my outburst but then their expression faded as Cordelia handed the baby to me.
Before I knew it I was holding the baby close as though possessive for some reason. I didn't know what had gotten into me, I was sure the rest of the family was shocked at my actions as I was but I didn't care. I knew as soon as I laid eyes on this little girl that I was in love as though she were my own daughter.
"So does this mean you are giving us a grandchild too Cedykins?"Mother asked as she saw my smile become wider and my brown eyes brighter. I didn't answer but continued to stare at the beautiful child.
"Maybe, Uncle Cedric should be Calista's babysitter when I go see Enchancia." Cordelia said grinning; somehow she knew that statement would get my attention.
"What!"I nearly screamed but then quickly used one of my gloved hands to cover my mouth in hopes I didn't upset the newborn. When the baby didn't cry I removed my hand and glared at Cordelia for getting me angry. She knew I hated tending to children.
With the subject of babysitting being put away for the moment I caressed the child's small hand watched as the baby's hand wrapped around my finger. I couldn't believe I already was cradling the little girl. Did I really love her?" I remembered I disliked children but I guess this little girl proved me wrong. "Welcome to the family, Calista." I whispered placed a small kiss to the baby's forehead.
A/N: I hoped I did well on this. This is the first I ever wrote a story in this kind of POV. I don't know whether to continue on the story and have Cedric babysit growing Calista but it's up to what you think. Please review!
