I am warning you that this is mushy because I cannot write action sequences at all. When I looked at how many Michael and Selene stories there are, I thought that I should add at least one more. So please review and let me know how you like it.Michael held his baby girl in his arms. She was so beautiful, so innocent. She looked up at him with her brown eyes.
"Let me see her" Selene said as she woke from her sedation.
Michael walked over to her bedside.
"She looks like you"
Michael handed her there daughter. Selene reached out an arm and took her baby out of Michael's arms.
"What should we name her?" Selene looked up at Michael.
"Alexandra"
The name was ancient but it felt right for her.
"Alexandra" Selene repeated as she ran her finger down the side of her face. "It sounds just right"
Michael sat down on the bed; he pulled Selene close to his side and kissed her on the forehead.
"You need to rest"
Selene wanted to tell that she didn't, she just wanted to hold her daughter forever. She gave Alexandra back to her father.
Michael went to stand in front of the window the sun's rays were just sneaking up over the far hill tops.
Selene and Michael had gone to France to escape the war. Selene, who had been a solider all her life, was exhausted by war. At the time the both hadn't released that she was pregnant. When they did find out Selene's safety had been number one. They had found a home in a small village in the secluded French Alps.
Keeping Selene away from the war was easy. Getting the woman into a pair of jeans was the hard part. Michael choked back a laugh.
He remembered the first time Selene and he went shopping during the day. She walked through the doorway timidly, her tiny baby bump visible under her black shirt. When she was all in the sin she closed her eyes and turned her head to face the sun.
"I haven't felt this warm in over 300 years"
She was interrupted by Michael who took her hand and led her down the street with a smile on his face.
The sounds of life were astonishing to Selene, all the people moving about doing their business. She held tighter to Michael's hand worried she slip away in the crowd.
They were walking past a small shop full of baby things. Michael pulled Selene to the door. Selene stepped in to the door and took in all the items.
Selene turned to Michael with tears in her eye.
"I cannot do this" She pushed past him out the door.
"Selene" He caught her further up the street.
"I cannot do this. I am not meant for this life. It is happy and warm. I was meant to kill, that is all" her breath had picked up "What if I am not good at being a mother?"
She looked up at him, her big eyes full of tears.
"It will be hard, but it will be worth every minute" He pulled her closer to his body "you will be a great mother"
"What if the war finds us?" Her emotions were finally pouring out of her.
"Then I will protect you. I will do anything to keep you safe. You are my family now."
"I love you"
They were the words that he had been waiting to hear.
"I love you too"
The sun was now coming up over the horizon.
"I love you too." He looked down on the sleeping figure of Alexandra in his arms.
Michael moved towards Alex's crib and put her gently down in it. He moved towards the bed and laid down next to Selene, he let his body relax against hers and fell into a deep sleep.
