Healing hearts

Summary: Sequel to The search for sanity which I strongly suggest you read first. While recovering from the shocking events that occurred after visiting the Mandera homeplanet, everyone is eagerly waiting for Beka's and Tyr's baby.
Pairing: Beka/Tyr, later Trance/Harper
Disclaimer: Hahahahahahaha...oh you weren't joking? Oh well, Victoria is mine.
"It's coming!" Trance almost screamed. Beka screamed too, but not words, she was merely screaming out in pain. Tyr was holding her hand while looking over to see how it was proceeding. Trance stood bent down, looking eagerly and all the time telling Beka to push. She had made everyone else go away when it was time for Beka to start pushing.
"Push!" she called again and Beka groaned.
"I am pushing for heavens sake!" She said and squeezed Tyr's hand.
"She's a lot stronger than she looks," Tyr thought as he felt his hand nearly being crushed, but that was all he had time to think before Trance gave a small jump and gave a yelp of excitement.
"I can see the head!" she screamed. Beka threw her head back (as much as she could since she was lying down) and screamed again, clenching the sheets and Tyr's hand respectively. Soon the room was filled with screaming, but not from Beka this time.
Tyr's eyes were tearing up with happiness when he took the little baby in his arms. A little girl, so perfect. Her skin was a mix of their skin colours, lighter than Tyr's brown skin, but darker than Beka's pale. He had always liked the contrast between their skins, thought it was cute and funny and now he could see it like this, as another little person. She already had very full lips, the shape more like Tyr's than Beka's, but it was her colour. A cute little nose marked her face and above them were her eyes, unfortunately clenched shut. Her hair was a dark red, and very thick. Beka opened her eyes, lying on the bed and panting, but a huge smile crossed her face as Tyr gently put the baby girl down next to her. When she lay down on the bed, she suddenly opened her eyes and a shudder went through Tyr as he saw her eyes. They were exactly like Beka's which was so apparent now that they laid right next to each other. The blue and green twinkled in the little girl's eyes as she tried to search for food.
Beka sat up and gently lifted up the baby. Suddenly they heard someone sob and surprised turned around. Trance was standing there, her tail wrapped around herself, tears were running down her cheeks but she was smiling.
"I...I just think...it's so...wonderful!" she sobbed. "I'll go...get...others." She ran out of the room. Beka and Tyr looked at each other and laughed. Suddenly Beka gave a small gasp.
"What's wrong?" Tyr said worried and ran up to her. Then he saw that the little baby girl had grabbed Beka's nipple with her mouth and was now sucking eagerly.
"You know," Beka said slowly, her eyes not leaving the girl sucking, "we haven't decided on a name yet." Tyr frowned. She was right.
"Any ideas?" he said, and she shook her head.
"Actually not, I can't think of anything right now. Do you have any?" Tyr looked at her.
"Well...it would be nice naming her Victoria after my mother but..." He stopped when Beka smiled.
"That's a great name. It's a really good idea to name her after your mother." Tyr smiled back.
"We could call her Rebecca as a middle name."
"Yeah, sure. Sounds good to me."
"Victoria Rebecca Anasazi," Tyr said dreamily.
"Victoria Rebecca Valentine-Anasazi," Beka said and looked stubborn. Tyr laughed.
"What if we get married and you change your name?" he asked. She shook her head.
"No I won't! Why can't you change your name?" Tyr laughed. This was turning into one of their fights-which-weren't-really-fights-but-more-games so instead of answering he silenced her with a kiss.
"Valentine-Anasazi is just fine," he said quietly, "and if we get married, we'll talk about that when it comes to it." She sighed slightly and rested her forehead against his.
"Maybe Valentine-Anasazi will be just fine for me too," she said and smiled. "But why don't we just take on thing at a time." She looked down at Victoria Rebecca Valentine-Anasazi. "We could call her Vicci for short," she said. Tyr smiled.
"Or Toria." He looked at the door, remembering they were soon about to get company. "Maybe you'd like to get yourself covered up?" he asked.
"Yeah right," she looked down and frowned, trying to figure out how to get dressed with Victoria still attached to her breast. Tyr solved the problem, wrapping the robe around her, leaving her right breast bare. It was in the last minute, cause in that moment, the doors opened and all their friends entered the room. They were laughing at first, but then went quiet when they saw the newly formed little family, trying not to disturb the baby. Trance had stopped crying, but her eyes were still shiny with the tears. Harper's eyes were wide as he approached the baby.
"It's so small," he said while carefully touching Victoria's cheek. She had stopped sucking now and seemed to be asleep. Everyone came up to Beka and Tyr, very quietly looking at the baby and giving their best wishes. Soon, they left and only Trance remained. She was smiling.
"I'd like to run a few tests on you, but then you can go," she said. Beka nodded and laid down on the bed after first making sure Victoria was fine in Tyr's arms.
"You're just fine," Trance said after a few minutes. Beka nodded happily and sat up. She wrapped the robe tighter around her, then she turned to Trance again.
"Thanks Trance," she said. The purple girl smiled.
"Don't thank me," she said, "you were doing most of the work. Go home now, you both need to get some sleep before little one wakes you up." She smiled as they left. This was going in the right way for the perfect possible future.
