Alexandria
Summary: Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Tenel Ka had a little sister? I have. It seemed unnatural that she didn't. I mean, if Isolder had such a close relationship with his brother, wouldn't he want his daughter to have the same kind of friendship? So I took a little bit (okay, a lot) of "Anastasia", mixed it with "Star Wars", and my own imagination and voila! Meet Alexandria, Tenal Ka's little sis. She's new, she's lovable, she's the future of the Hapan Cluster- and she's not what anyone expected.
Disclaimer: Don't own, don't get paid, wish I didn't care.
Everything was quiet in the Hapan palace. It was like calm after the storm, and rightly so. A storm had just ripped through the palace, on created by Teneniel Djo herself as she brought her second child into the world. "Alexandria." She cooed, looking at the sleeping baby nestled in her arms. Alexandria stirred a little, but didn't open her eyes. The door opened and her husband walked in, holding the hand of their 3 year old, Tenel Ka. "Come here daughter." Teneniel said, smiling fondly. "See your new sister." Tenel Ka approached the sleeping pallet. Isolder came over and put his arm around his wife. Peering over at the baby, Tenel Ka studied it.
"What is its name?"
"She, not it." Isolder corrected. "And her name is Alexandria."
"Do you want to hold her?" Teneniel asked. Tenel Ka nodded and sat in a chair by the bed. She had been taught how to hole the baby, and practiced with dolls, but was still nervous. Isolder took Alexandria and placed her in Tenel Ka's arms. Still studying her, Tenel Ka spoke.
"Greetings Alexandria."
For the first time in her life, Alexandria opened her smoky green eyes. They were the same color of her grandmothers, only without the cold, hardened look to them. "Your eyes look like Grandmama's." Tenel Ka told the baby. "I'm Tenel Ka. I'm your big sister."
Isolder watched the two. It was a bittersweet moment, as he remembered how close him and his brother had been. 'I hope my daughters can share the same kind of relationship.'
"I think she's tired, Tenel." Teneniel's voice gently broke in. Tenel Ka looked at Alexandria one last time and held the bundle of wrappings out for her mother to take. The second Alexandria left her sister's arms, her eyes closed and she appeared to be asleep. Holding her infant child, and watching Tenel Ka and Isolder leave the room, Teneniel felt truly content.
That's it for the first chapter folks! Let me know what you think (review, people, review!), and I'll try to get the next one up soon!
