Hey, everyone. Sorry for the late update. My excuse is school. It started last Monday, and I had a crapload of work and papers to sign. So anyhoo, here is the second chapie! Enjoy…
Everyone came in and settled around my infirmary bed, watching me as I watched my daughter play with her fingers. She was so beautiful. She had big, round eyes, the same color as mine. She had a head full of silver hair, just like Jem's, that brought out her dark eyes. She also had the facial structure of her Daddy, such as cheekbones, mouth, and nose. She didn't have Jem's Asian-looking eyes, though.
I giggled as I watched her stick her tiny little fingers in her mouth. "She's beautiful Tessa, a perfect combination between you and Jem. She's going to be absolutely beautiful when she grows up…just like her mother." Charlotte commented once she saw Lily. "Thank you Charlotte, I think she will be, too." I replied. After a couple minutes of watching Lily, I tried unsuccessfully to stifle a yawn, but as soon as Jem saw that, he said "Tessa, love, you better get some rest, you've had a long day." "I'm…I don't…oh okay, but only for a little while. I really am fiiiinnnneeee." I yawned just as I said 'fine'. Jem laughed and took Lily, kissed my forehead, and said "Get some sleep, love."
~~~~~~~Sometime Later~~~~~~~
I was woken up by Magnus lightly shaking my shoulders. I shot straight up and said worriedly "What happened? Is it the baby? Where's Lily?" He laughed and said "Motherly instincts kicking in already. Anyway, nothings wrong, exactly, it's just that Lily is, um, hungry. And none of us can, um, provided her with food. Only you." I sighed in relief and said "Alright, where is she?" Jem came over to me, and handed me our crying child and smiled at me sheepishly.
I looked around at everyone while saying "Can everyone please leave? I kinda don't want to, ya know, do this in front of an audience." I blushed while everyone nodded and got up to leave. I let Jem stay, of course.
I pulled my dress down and put Lily's mouth on my breast, it took her a minute to latch on but then she got it. After about 10 minutes she unlatched and yawned. She curled up into me and fell asleep.
Jem watched this all with loving eyes. He took Lily into his arms and rocked her while she slept. I pulled my shirt back up and laid back down to watch my fiancé with our daughter. I knew by the way he was looking at her that they were going to have one of those close Daddy/Daughter relationships.
Magnus popped his head back in and asked if the coast was clear. I rolled my eyes and said "Yes Magnus, I'm done." He sent everyone back in and they all gathered around once again, watching my little family with fascination. At this moment, everything was perfect.
