The Black Family Peril

His Little Girl

About fifteen minutes after Bellatrix was born Cygnus found himself getting impatient. All Druella wanted to do was breastfeed the baby and cuddle with her, but Cygnus he wanted to show off his girl to the world, he wanted to say I started the next generation.

"Druella could I take her downstairs?" he asked looking at his wife. Druella looked up from her daughter who yawned and fell asleep in her arms.

"I guess, but please don't send too many people up here. My mother and sister are about all I can take right now honey." Cygnus walked over and took Bellatrix out of her arms, she moved swiftly into his arms without any problems.

"So could I send Walburga up?" he asked jokingly. She shot him a look of pure menace and he sighed. "I was just joking take it easy please." At that he walked quickly out of the room and down the marble staircase. Before he entered the parlor he looked at his daughter carefully for the first time. She had a mass of raven black curls and the softest skin; she lay silent and he couldn't imagine anything more peaceful than the child in his arms. He looked to the door ahead of him and took a breath before entering he knew it was going to be hectic in here. His family was basically royalty after all it was almost like a princess had been born, and in his mind she was his little princess. Without further ado he pushed open the doors, and revealed the family behind them. Walburga was the first one to come up to her new niece.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" she asked quickly.

"It's a girl Walburga her name is Bellatrix." Nearly everyone let out some form of delight whether it was a laugh, a giggle, or even Druella's mother crying there was nothing, but happiness in the room.

"Where there any complications Cygnus?" his father asked carefully.

"No dad everything went smoothly I was threatened a couple of times, but that seemed to be normal according to the midwife." Pollux chuckled and put his hand on his sons shoulder.

"Don't worry I was cursed out too by the time you came along well let's just say I was used to it." Cygnus nodded and Pollux moved to the corner where his mother was sitting. Irma Black had fallen ill and the doctors said it could be a year at the most; Cygnus expected she would make until Walburga's wedding and then pass on. Druella's mother Victoria walked up to Cygnus and touched her granddaughter's head lightly, Bellatrix awoke at the soft touch and looked up. She looked up at Victoria and let out a shriek.

"Looks like someone wants their mother" Druella's sister Margaret said from her mother's side. Victoria nodded and looked up to Cygnus.

"Can I walk her upstairs?" Cygnus nodded and placed his daughter in her grandmother's arm, Druella's father had died last year and this was the most he had seen Victoria smile since that time. He watched as she and Margaret made their way upstairs and he realized he was really upset. He would have to stay down here and talk with the family, but all he could think of was that little girl upstairs that was all his.

Sorry for the long wait on an update, I've been quite busy and right now I'm focusing on finishing my other fan fiction Vice and Virtue. I'm looking for about another five reviews before I update. I really need a lot of feedback with this and I'm open to suggestions. Just leave them in a review and I welcome constructive criticism. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed. :D
