Edward Tonks is a father, and he can't believe it. His baby girl was born mere hours ago, and he can't help but think she is beautiful. She is so small, and looks so fragile that the first time he held her he thought he might break her.
Her name is Nymphadora, and it's such a long and beautiful name and he's said it so many times these past hours, in mumbled tones, and he simply loves the way it sounds.
His wife is asleep, for now, exhausted from the birth. The only sounds that can be heard at this time is the sound of her quiet breathing, the tapping of his feet, and a small whimper that is heard from across the room.
He slowly begins to walk towards the baby, peering over her and looking into her emerald eyes, not the brown she was originally born with. Her hair is also a light blonde in color.
This is all perfectly normal, the midwife had explained to them about her metamorphmagi abilities, after the incedent that included Nymphadora's hair turning a bright blue and Andromeda screaming in horror.
He picks her up gently, and he assumes that she is hungry. He rocks her quietly, side to side so she'll stay quiet for a few moments, so her mother can get some rest. She is still so deathly fatigued, and he—as rude as it may seem in this moment—does not want to suffer her wrath.
He continues to stare into her eyes, which have faded into a soft blue color, just like his. He can't help but smile, and he wants to cry with happiness.
He is a father. A real father, and this is his baby girl. This is his daughter, and he vows to protect her and keep her healthy and safe until the end of time.
And not even death can break this promise.
A/N: On the wiki it states Ted's first name is Edward, just wanted to clear that up. :)
