Chapter Eighteen

It warmed Marion's heart to see Cohra looking down at their baby with pride and love on his face. She was so glad to see how happy he was with their newborn son and that she managed to survive having a child with a yautja since she remembered him telling her about how there were not a lot of human females before her that had managed to not only concieve a child with one of his kind but would later go on to have the child and not die from the process of giving birth to the child.

Her eyes shifted from where she lied in her bed from sensing that someone was coming to the room although there was no indication that someone was about to pay her a visit. She looked to the doorway of the room from where she was while Cohra had picked his son up to embrace him in his arms, and found the Elder on the ship to be walking to the threshold of the open doorway. Her eyes found him to be looking over at her in awe that she had done to the unimaginable with giving birth to the baby that Cohra was holding and the child was in good health as well. Keeping her gaze on him, she chose to speak to him in a calm and respectful tone despite feeling exhausted from what had happened in the delivery room.

"Good afternoon, sir." She said, alerting Cohra and Mariah that there was someone standing in the doorway of the room. Her eyes noticed out of a corner of them that Cohra had turned and focused on him from where he stayed at her side with his son in his arm and his human child to be sitting in a chair by his side while she continued to speak to him. "You may come in the room and see our son."

Her eyes watched him give a nod of his head and walked into the room in his regal attire for someone of his position as being the head of the ship. She kept her gaze on him to find him approach cohra and look to the baby that he was holding in his arms with a sense of contentment upon his face. Keeping her eye contact with him, she watched him turn his attention back onto her prior to moving to speak to her in native tongue instead of his own while his eyes looked down upon her.

"Congratulations, Marion." The elder said. "I am pleased to see that you survived the birth of your child and that your son shows no sign of illness to him."

"Thank you, sir."

"What is the name that the two of you decided for him."

"Cohra came up with the name of Autou for him and we both agreed that it would be a good choice of a name for our child to have."

She noticed him approving of the name that she had given to her son with Cohra's assistance since it was a yautja name that was looked upon fondly to be given to a son of a family. Her eyes remained on him while he continued to speak to her from where he stood at her side.

"Autou..That is a good name for him."

"Thank you."

"With you being the first female human to give birth to a child that has both human and yautja characteristics, you will be honored as a goddess for your ability to have a child with a yautja and survive the process. It has been several centuries since one of your kind had bred with one of our kind only to not survive during the process of her pregnancy. Your whole family will be looked upon highly for you being the first in centuries to do what you are doing right now, and I will make sure to make it known to others of our kind of what you have done this day as for them to be aware that they are to show your family and yourself the respect you deserve."

I haven't really spoken to the elder a lot, but I have to say that I really like him. If he is showering me with all kinds of attention from just having birth with Cohra as the father to the child, I am sure that there will be more to come as time passes by for my family.

She couldn't help but smile from knowing that she had the approval of the leader of the mother ship that had come there to the jungles of the amazon rain forest. It made her feel good to know that he looked upon her family and herself fondly for the feat she had managed to do that day. However, it was also a little daunting for her to deal with since it would mean that her family would be put out into the light among their kind and, at some point, the human kind as being the first of them to breed with a yautja warrior. Marion maintained a smile on her face as she gave a nod of her head to him in time for him to nod to her. Her eyes watched him head out of the room before she moved her attention towards where Cohra was and spoke in a more relaxed way to him while her exhaustion was still noticeable in her voice.

"Is he always that proper when it comes to talking with someone or is it just because I am your mate?"

"He means well," Cohra replied, rocking the baby some in his arms, "but sometimes he does get a little lost in the moment and pours himself into this area of him needing to appear more regal."

"I could tell during the course of that conversation."

"He is very proud to say that a child of both yautja and human blood and traits has been born and that this will make way for others to be motivated at the idea of finding a human female to mate with."

"Well...I hate to say this, but not all women are like me, Cohra. Some are a little bit more...untamed than myself and they could have an issue with them."

"No offense, Marion, but you are pretty untamed yourself when we are alone in bed with one another late in the night."

A soft chuckle left her mouth as one left Cohra's lips. She let out a soft yawn from where she was although her eyes struggled to stay open. Marion didn't want to fall asleep at that moment. Her family was there to see her and she wanted to speak with them instead of sleeping away, but her body seemed to be going in another way in regards with her needs. As she was trying to stay awake, she was met with the feeling of Cohra placing a hand atop her head, stroking her hair through his fingers while his other arm held onto his son. The gesture had her to be sleeping off to sleep and allowing her body to rest from having had given birth to Autou.
