I woke up to a loud whimpering coming from the cot opposite my bed. I rolled out of bed, and stumbled as my feet hit the floor. I tripped my way over to the cot against the wall and lifted the wailing child from it's bed. The first thing I noticed was a stench rising from the diaper. I cringed and took it to the bathroom. Setting it in the sink, I pulled the bag of diapers from the cabinet underneath. Pulling a clean one form the bag, I slipped the dirty one off the screaming infant. Wiping it down, I saw it was a girl. I finished changing her, and she burbled happily. I looked down at the now sleeping baby girl, and carried her to my room. I sat in the rocking chair next to the cot, and watched her as she slept. I realized I didn't know her name, and it didn't seem right just calling her, her all the time. I studied her closely.

"What shall we call you, hm? A name, I need a name." I had always thought that I would name a my first baby girl Claire, or Demitria, but those names don't fit the sleeping infant in front of me. I watched as she crinkled her freckled nose in her sleep, then give a little sigh. Then it came to me. Leah. I would name her Leah.

"Leah." I whispered. She opened her eyes a little, then snuggled closer to me. I smiled. Leah it was.


I awoke to someone shaking me. I opened my eyes to see Justin standing over me with his hand on my shoulder. Leah shifted in my arms a bit and gave a little sigh. I must have fallen asleep in the rocking chair. Justin smiled at me and held out a hand. I grabbed it and he pulled me up.

"Mom says breakfast's ready. She found an old bottle from when Max was a baby, she says you can use that to feed it." I realized then that Justin didn't know Leah was a girl.

"Her name's Leah. If it was a boy I would've named it Alexander and called him Xander so we wouldn't get confused, but she's a girl. Besides, she looks like a Leah, doesn't she?" I held her out a little bit so Justin could see her face. He peered down at the little girl in my arms and smiled fondly.

"Yeah. You know, she kind of looks like you." He said softly. I nodded. I had noticed that too.

"Yeah, 'cept her eyes are green. Mine are brown." Then I looked up at Justin's eyes. They were green. I started to panic. No, no, no, no, no. It's not possible. He looked at me, and I knew he was was thinking the same thing.

"Maybe, it's just a coincidence. I mean, we're siblings, there's no way . . ." He trailed off. I nodded, even though in my heart I knew that was just wishful thinking. This was my child. Justin was the dad, I was the mom. I don't know how, but that's how it was.

"Let's go get breakfast. Dad might know a spell to see if it's true or not." He nodded and we left the room together.


We entered the dining room to find everyone else already eating. Dad looked up as we entered. Justin and I took our seats next to each other. I picked up the bottle next to my plate and began to feed Leah. Her eyes crossed slightly as she guzzled the formula. I smiled at the expression on her face. When she finished, I draped a rag on my shoulder and burped her. Then I sat her on my knee and ate my own breakfast. I finished and put my knife and fork together on my plate. Shifting Leah slightly, I turned and gave Justin a pointed look. He nodded then cleared his throat.

"Um, dad. You wouldn't know a spell to see who Leah's parents are would you?" Dad looked confused for a second. Then realization dawned on his face. He pointed at the baby on my lap.

"Oh, is that what you named her. In answer to your question yes, I do know a spell. Come into the liar and I'll show you."
