Ebony was just dozing off when a figure appeared next to her bed. Even though her eyes were closed she knew it wasn't Gael. Her eyes fluttered open, it was Morpheus. Eb smiled at him, "Hi."
The god smiled back, "Hello, darling."
She looked around the room, Gael wasn't there. "Where's Gael?"
"He went to get coffee." Morpheus moved through the room to smile down at the new child, "She's beautiful."
"Thank you." Eb smiled at him. She was so tired but she was forcing herself to stay awake to talk to him. Which was ironic since he was the god of dreams.
"You should sleep, darling. Children make sleep hard to get."
Ebony laughed, "Okay. Thank you for visiting, by the way. It means alot."
Morpheus smiled, gently running a few fingers along the child's cheek, "Of course I came. She's my first grandchild in several decades."
Eb wasn't sure how Morpheus would react to the next thing she was going to say, "Her middle name...We named her after Gael's mother. Malory."
That made the god smile, "It's not really surprising that he'd want to."
"Yeah."
"Her first name is Jasmine, isn't it?" He prompted.
Eb blushed slightly, "Yeah. Jasmine Malory." She looked at her sleeping baby and smiled.
"Your mother, and his then." Morpheus reached down, and picked the child up gently.
"I-Yeah. Its her name." She looked up and say Gael standing in the doorway.
Her husband smiled, "Hey, dad."
The god smiled back, "I just came to see her." He set the baby down again, "I should go though. The people in Manhattan are starting to fall asleep so I have dreams to give."
Ebony smiled as the god disappeared, then she looked at Gael. "Happy with your coffee?"
"It's hospital coffee." He answered, sitting down next to her, "So, Jasmine..."
She took his hand and closed her eyes, "What about her?"
"Your mom?"
Ebony nodded. "Yeah. I..." She didn't really know what to say next.
Gael kissed her gently, holding her hand tightly.
