Chapter 7: Violet and Happiness
By: Koumiko
"It's a girl! A beautiful girl at that your highness!" The doctor cried as she held up the wailing child. Andrew kissed the exhausted and crying Angel as the doctor cut the cord of the princess. Bijoux shyly walked up with a pink velvet blanket. She bowed to Andrew.
"For the young princess." She smiled and wrapped the baby, handing her to Angel, who was now smiling.
"She looks as beautiful as her mother," Andrew remarked, playing with the wisps of blonde hair on their baby's head. She had stopped crying, her violet eyes staring widely at her new world. "Violet – what a rare eye color." Andrew added.
"Violet will be her name then," Angel said. Bijoux smiled and Lilly jumped up and down, overjoyed. "Thank you, doctor…"
"Doctor Yuko, at your service, your majesties." Yuko said, washing her hands and piling up the soiled sheets in a bucket for cleaning. She then bowed and walked backwards, out of the room to give the couple some time alone.
"Angel," Andrew whispered. "Look."
On Violet's forehead a lavender glow began to shine.
"Happiness," Andrew said. "That's what it means. It's in the prophecy." Angel looked at Andrew. She remembered he had explained some prophecy to her during her trial with him just about nine months earlier.
"But you said it said we were supposed to assume our true forms – whatever they are." Angel replied.
"Just wait and we'll see." Andrew said. "Shall we announce the birth to the Kingdom?"
The next day…
Angel's and Andrew's parents stepped outside onto the presenting balcony and a loud cheer came from the people outside below the balcony. Angel wore a light pink gown, cradling the little Princess Violet in her arms. Andrew wore a white shirt and cape with white pants, on his cape was sewn the symbol on Violet's forehead, happiness.
"May I introduce, little Princess Violet Hikari of Happiness!" Andrew announced as they stepped forward into the light, holding Violet above his head for the crowd below to see. The crowd cheered and Angel quietly applauded. She knew the prophecy was still unfulfilled, and a son must be born to have an heir after them.
