It was extremely late when Kiel and Mishka finally emerged from the infirmary. They smiled gently at Gawain, who had been pacing the courtyard, listening with unconcealed concern to his wife's cries of pain. Kiel nodded to him, gesturing he could go in, be beside his lady that night. He looked back just once, at the door of the sickbay, and received encouraging smiles from most of the knights, and, predicably, smirks and snickers from Lancelot and Kestrel. He glared at them, took a deep breath and stepped inside.
She was sitting up in a cot at the far end of the room, cradling a small bundle in her arms. She was singing to it softly, rocking it gently back and forth. Gawain went quietly to her side, and touched her arm. She looked up with weary eyes. She looked tired and worn out, but her smile could have challenged the sun. She held the bundle out to him and whispered proudly "Isn't she beautiful?"
R&R Please.
