Bast entered the room shyly, looking quickly at the midwife who was cleaning up. She looked up and silently put a finger to her mouth and pointed to the other room. Bast nodded and walked over to the curtain and slowly opened it. His wife and summoner was on the bed, her long light blue hair fanned over the pillow, sweat glistening on her pale skin, her eyes closed. He went over to her and kissed her forehead.
Her large dark purple eyes fluttered open and she smiled at him. " Hey, sweetheart."
"Lei." he whispered and kissed her lips.
Lei laughed quitely. "Don't you want to see her?"
The guardian's eyes lit up and he nodded. Lei pointed over to the small bassinet and Bast went over to it. A tiny baby was asleep in it, their first child. She looked healthy, with smooth pale skin and rosey cheeks, but what stunned Bast was the child's hair. It was dark brown on the top then it faded to light blue. He smiled and gently picked her up, cradling her in his arms, she wriggled and yawned but didn't wake up.
Lei smiled affectionatley at Bast as he cradled the baby, his blue eyes shone brightly when the baby moved in his arms,then he walked over to Lei and gave her the baby. "What should we name her?" He whispered.
Lei looked at her sleeping daughter, none of the names they had talked about seemed to fit her, Lei touched her daughter's earth and sky hair.
"oh," Lei gasped, " How about ...Skye?"
Bast smiled at Lei. " Thats perfect."
The baby's eyes popped opened and she cooed at her parents.
Bast and Lei laughed. "She likes it too."
