Prompt: Could you do one where Ariadne and Jason have a family?- Guest reviewer
Jason smiled at the baby girl nestled safely in his arms, fast asleep. Ariadne saw her husband cradling their new daughter and smiled too, walking over to join them.
"She's perfect, isn't she?"
"She's wonderful." Jason murmured, staring at her sleeping, delicate face. "Just like her mother."
Ariadne laughed and sank beside him. "I'm so glad I have you." she whispered, pressing a kiss to his face.
Jason felt for her hand, holding tightly onto their child with one arm, and looked up at Ariadne for the first time since their girl had been born. "Not as glad as I am."
He smiled at her, gazing at her liquid brown eyes, her dark hair, her face still softened by the not-so-long-ago pregnancy. She had been so radiant during it. He'd thought that to be a myth, women glowing during pregnancy. Ariadne, in his mind, always glowed and shone like a bright star. Yet when she'd been carrying their child, she truly had been glowing.
"I'm so lucky to have you." Jason told Ariadne. "Both of you." He carefully passed the baby to her mother, watching as Ariadne took hold of her.
The brunette woman gazed into her daughter's face, feeling waves of love lap over her. She never thought it would be possible to love another human being as much as she loved Jason, and yet here was the proof, staring her in the eyes. She moved her hand and lightly stroked the little tufts of black hair on the baby's scalp. The little one suddenly opened her eyelids and Ariadne was faced with a pair of deep brown eyes. Her eyes.
"She has your eyes." Jason said, peering over at her.
The baby reached up and threaded her hands into Ariadne's long, dark tresses, making her mother giggle. "She is wonderful." Ariadne whispered, kissing her daughter and then her husband. "Just wonderful."
