Prompt: Holy Water
The church was small for Amaterasu - well, small for the city of New Aichi. Ashley hadn't been there since she left for her first posting - good grief, was it that many years ago?
She shook off the thought and cradled the bundle in her arms a little more securely. It wasn't the right time to be thinking about how small the church was... Beside her Joker shifted. She bit back a smile, knowing he was trying to stay focused for her sake.
The priest nodded, and she dipped her son's head closer to the font. Father Mikael dipped his hand in the water, bringing his cupped hand to her son's head.
"In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, I christen thee Cohen Isaac Moreau."
Little Cohen squirmed at the water, fretting a little. Joker took him from her arms, murmuring something under his breath.
As they descended from the platform, Joker grinned crookedly up at her. "I hope you know that splashing around in holy water was all for you, Doll."
She kissed his bearded cheek. "And I appreciate it, flyboy."
A/N: Sorry for any inaccuracies. I'm not Catholic; my own baptism was much more informal (and I wasn't a baby :D).
