Chapter 7
One Night
Celestine and Origa are sleeping together late that night in the large bed, both arms around each other. However, they can hear the door slightly open, making it creak a little and Celestine is the first to wake up to notice her adopted daughter slowly walking in the room.
"Ummm…Mama Celes?" Prielle says softly as she fiddles with her fingers. "I had a nightmare…"
The blonde elf sits up and holds out her hand with a gentle smile. "Awwww, sweetie, come here."
The former elven princess walks toward her adoptive mother and quickly hugs her tightly. "I was so scared…I…."
"Shhhh…it's okay," Celestine whispers as she strokes her daughter's hair. "I'm here. Don't worry."
Prielle buries her head in her mother's chest, feeling a bit more relaxed than she did earlier. She sighs with bliss as she is being cuddled by the high elven goddess. Once they pull away, Celestine offers to have her be in the middle. Origa is still asleep, so she's unaware of what's going on until she can feel Prielle being placed next to her. She opens one eye to see her girlfriend snuggling in closer and just smiles while going back to sleep.
"Is that better?" Celestine asks.
"Yes…thank you so much, Mama Celes~" Prielle replies, snuggling against the high elven goddess.
"I have an idea. Why don't you sleep with us from now on?" Celestine offers. "That way, you won't be so lonely anymore."
Prielle brightens and nods. "Yes! Yes, that would be so lovely! Thank you!" She hugs her mother yet again happily.
Celestine giggles, returning the embrace and stroking her hair. Origa opens her eyes to see this cute moment and smiles again. She heard the whole thing and is glad that Prielle is sleeping between the two older elves. As Prielle starts sleeping, Celestine takes notice of her girlfriend being awake.
"Fufu~! How long were you awake~?"
"Not long," Origa replies. "But I'm glad you were kind enough to let our daughter sleep with us from now on."
"She's just lonely," Celestine says as she looks down at her precious daughter and gently strokes her hair. "It's very hard for her to forget about what happened to her kind back then."
"Yes, I know," Origa says. "But now she's safe with us. That's all that matters."
"Mm-hmm," the high elven goddess leans down to kiss her daughter on the forehead. "Sweet dreams, little one~"
Origa does the same thing. "Good night, Prielle. Pleasant dreams~"
Both elves wraps arms around their daughter and fall fast asleep, dreaming good dreams together.
A/N: Sorry this was short, but that's all I can think of. Have a nice day~!
