Chapter 28 – Morgan Triela
The next few weeks were busy, with hero births faster than a normal humans, the newest Archon almost ready to arrive. Kaida had gone somewhere, Hawk often prayed she hadn't gone to the Spire, but her heart told her she may have gone alone…
"Hawk?" I turned, I was sitting in the back garden on the manor, a book open on my lap. Reaver sat next to me. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, you must stop worrying." I smiled and leaned against him, his strong arms wrapped around me.
"It is you, I always worry." Reaver smiled, I chuckled.
"you're going soft, Pirate king." I said, he looked at me with his sea like eyes.
"Oh, really?" He smirked. I rolled my eyes and looked up at the sky.
"It is a lovely day." I muttered.
"yes, it is." Reaver agreed. I placed my hand on my baby bump, I wondered if it would be a hero. I suddenly felt it kick. I jumped slightly, it was so unexpected. "Hawk?"
"the little monster is kicking." I smiled, Reaver chuckled. Placing his hand on the bump. The baby kicking again. I laughed at the looked of pure happiness of Reaver's face.
"Rosa and Vincent didn't move much did they?" Reaver said
"No, but they were tough to handles as toodlers." I agreed
"I believe they were playing it." Reaver added, I laughed. I couldn't deny it. It did feel like Vincent and Rosa played all their pranks as babies. "I don't it should be too long now…"
"Me too." I nodded, smiling.
"Mother! Father!" Vincent and Rosa jumped us.
"Hello you two." I smiled
"We found something for the new baby!" Rosa said
"What is it?" Reaver asked.
"It's a secret." Vincent grinned. I shook my head, I sat up and looked at the manor. Darrian was standing there.
"Darrian?" I asked, everyone turned too.
"sorry to disturb you, but can we talk?" He said
"um, sure. Go ahead." I nodded.
"We received word that Kaida has indeed gone to the spire… from the port in Westcliff." Darrian told me "Not that I even know wher Westcliff is…" he added, as I stood up.
"We have to go after her!" I said.
"Not in your condition." Reaver took my hands. "I am sure she'll be fine."
"No… you don't understand, her being their will only make the spire stronger…not to mention bigger!"I told him.
"Hawk, calm down." Reaver placed his forehead against mine. I looked at him sadly.
"I should have agreed to go with her…" I sighed "I am the only one who knows their way around the spire…" Reaver hugged me, I buried my face into his shirt. This was my fault – all my fault…
A few days later, during the night. Hawk went into labour. Darrian and Logan were called. Reaver, Rosa and Vincent were waiting outside the main bedroomwhen Logan and Darrian joined them.
"How is she?" Darrian asked
"Well.." Rosa began, a screamed sounded from the room. "There's your answer. "After a while silence fell, it was then broken by a small cry. Reaver looked at the door.
"So, names?" Logan asked
"Well, Hawk names girls and I name boys. That's how we dicided to choose…" He stopped as a maid come out, holding a moving blanket.
"Lord Reaver, Morgan Triela, your daughter." She passed the child to him. Rosa and Vincent shot up to get a looked at their sibling. Reaver sat down, holding the girl close. She had black curls upon her head. Reaver looked down at her, Morgan opened her eyes, they were gold. She looked at her father, questions filled her eyes, she gurgled and reached for him.
"She's so cute!" Rosa smiled, she bounced around "I can't wait, having a sister is going to be so cool!"
"I think she'll fit right in." Vincent nodded, Morgan seemed to notice them. She watched Rosa jumping,then at Vincent who was smiling at her.
"That's your brother and sister." Reaver said, Morgan giggled. Logan smiled, He held out a finger to Morgan, she took it her small pink fist, she smiled at Logan brightly.
"Hello." Logan smiled, Morgan gurgled in reply.
"Let's go to the library, I believe Hawk is resting." Reaver stood. They followed him.
I woke from my nap, I was still in my room, but the sun was bright. I took a breath and smiled, Morgan Triela…I liked that name. I got up, a maid came in.
"Oh, you're awake Lady Hawk." She smiled
"Yes, um…where's Reaver?" I asked
"In the study, with Rosa and Vincent. Logan and Darrian left a while ago." The maid placed some tea down.
"Darrian and Logan was here?" I asked
"Yes, they came to see little Morgan." The maid nodded. I drank my tea.
"I shall join them." I told her.
"Of course my lady, I shall bring up you breakfast shortly." The maid smiled
"Thank you." I headed to the study, the door was open, I peeked in. Reaver was cradling a Sleeping morgan, whilst Vincent and Rosa were asleep on chairs. "I feel she's going to be a daddies girl." I said, Reaver looked up and smiled.
"You think?" He asked, I sat next to him, Morgan slept soundly.
"Yes…I guess Rosa and Vincent are happy?" I looked at them.
"Especially, Rosa." Reaver smiled, he wrapped an arm around me. "are you okay?" He asked
"I'm fine, stop worrying, placed that worry with Morgan." I smiled and kissed his cheek. Morgan opened her eyes, noticing me she began to cry, waking up Rosa and Vincent.
"What the…" rosa saw me "Oh, morning mom." She smiled.
" Morning. I'm guessing Morgan is hungary. I'll go and feed her." I took Morgan from Reaver, how had a mischievous look in his eyes.
"Need any help?" He asked, I shook my head.
"I am sure I can do it alone." I smiled, I left for our room. I passed and window, but stopped and looked out of it again. "Sweet, holy Avo…" I gasped. "Barry, get Reaver, tell him I'll be outside!" I called and rushed downstairs, holding Morgan in a safe embrace..
