Sorry for not posting yesterday. I was too warn out to write something. Hope this makes up for it!


Kjelle slept soundly in her bed comfortably curled up in her blankets. The sounds of scurrying footsteps from outside her room stirred her from her slumber a little. She could hear what sounded like her father talking to someone, but ignored it in favor of going back to sleep. Whatever it was grown-ups had to talk about was no concern to her.

"AUUGGH!"

The sudden loud shout abruptly woke Kjelle completely. She looked up at her ceiling, noting that the shouting seemed to be coming from her room upstairs. Quickly, Kjelle climbed out of bed and left her room. However, it wasn't long before she would change her mind.

"GYAAA!"

"Mommy?" Kjelle whispered. She went upstairs to her parent's room. The shouting started to become louder and more frequent. As she got closer to her parent's room, she could hear other voices over her mother's shouting.

"Robin, would you just leave already?" Lissa shouted.

"But I thought you needed my-"

"ROBIN, GET OUT ALREADY!" Sully shouted. There was the sound of something breaking followed by Robin stumbling out the door.

"Daddy?" Kjelle asked. Robin looked over his shoulder with a surprised expression on his face.

"Kjelle?" He approached her and knelt down. "Did the shouting wake you up?"

Kjelle nodded. "Is Mommy alright?"

"She should be hopefully."

"Why is she shouting so much? Did someone hurt her?"

Robin chuckled and picked Kjelle up. "Erm, not intentionally." He carried her to the stairs and sat down on the top, putting Kjelle in his lap. "She's just in the middle of having the baby."

Kjelle tilted her head in confusion. "I thought you said the baby wasn't coming for a while."

"We thought so but I guess the baby had other plans."

"You should have told her to wait until Mommy was ready."

Robin smiled. "I'll be sure to give her a good scolding later."

"So, why did Miss Lissa and Mommy kick you out of the room?"

"I was trying to help but was just getting in the way. Lissa and her helpers know what they're doing. I suppose I was too eager to not miss this birth like I missed yours." Kjelle nodded then yawned a little. "Do you want to go back to bed?"

Kjelle shook her head and rubbed her eyes. "No. Waiting alone is boring. I'll stay awake with you."

"Thick you can manage that? This is going to take some time."

Kjelle glared at him. "I can do it!" She huffed and crossed her arms as she waited. Robin smiled and stroked Kjelle's hair.

It was quiet between the two other than the occasional awkward question Kjelle would ask in regard as to why giving birth hurt. Eventually, sleep managed to overcome the young girl and she dozed off with her head leaning against her father's chest. She was awoken again when she felt her father pick her up. She let out a small protesting moan.

"You awake?" Robin asked. Kjelle nodded. "Good. There's someone you should meet." As Robin carried her down the hall, Kjelle noticed the screaming had stopped and saw Lissa's assistants walking past them. She held her head up and looked towards Robin's room.

"Is the baby here?"

"Yep. Ready to be a big sister?"

"I think so." Robin smiled and stepped into the room. Lissa was still there standing by the bed. She looked at Robin and Kjelle and smiled.

"It wasn't easy," she said. "But they're both okay. I'll leave you alone for a while." Lissa left the room as Robin approached the bed and set Kjelle down on the edge.

Sully looked at her and smiled. "Hey, kiddo. When did you get up?"

"I've been up for a while." She noticed the small bundled up baby in Sully's arms and leaned in a little closer to get a closer look.

"Meet your kid sister, Morgan." Kjelle looked at Sully then back at Morgan.

"She's beautiful," Robin said. "Looks like this one got your hair this time."

Sully smiled. "She pulls it off a little better." She watched as Kjelle put her hand on the baby's head. Morgan moaned a little making Kjelle quickly jerk her hand back.

"Did I hurt her?" she asked.

Sully shook her head. "No, she's just saying hello." Kjelle carefully brushed the thin wisps of Morgan's hair.

"She's so tiny."

"She is," Robin said. "Think you can watch her back until she' big enough to protect herself."

Kjelle looked back at Morgan and smiled. "Hell, yeah."

Sully chuckled and held both her daughters close. "That's my girl."
