The Baby Dilemma Ch 20
Sevriel smiled as Seth clambered into the room carrying little Triana in her arms. She walked up to Sevriel, handing him the baby before taking off her boots.
"Do you think this might wake him up?" Seth asked, following him to where Torian and Abel sat with Devi.
"I hope so, but I want you to keep enough distance from Devi that you can run if he attacks. He's been doing a lot of attacking lately," Sevriel walked over to Devi, kneeling beside him with the infant in his arms.
"Do you remember her, Devi? This is our baby girl Triana. She really misses you," he smiled when Devi reached out a shaking hand to pet the infant's hair.
"Rayla?" Devi asked very softly, his face warming as he watched the little girl grab at his hand, snapping her teeth down on his fingers.
"No, love, her name is Triana," Sevriel handed the child to him, watching Devi hug her.
"Rayla?" Devi asked again.
"Why does he keep asking that? Does he know someone named Rayla?" Abel asked, tugging on Torian's sleeve to get the Drakatra's attention.
"I think he might've given birth to another double headed dragon. It means there are two children in one body. Only one child can show itself at a time, but the body will change to accommodate each child, whether it be facial expressions, or even the sex of the child," Torian smiled as he watched Devi kiss the child's cheek.
"Do you think that could be it?" Sevriel asked, watching Devi as he whispered the name over and over again.
"It has to be, I mean the kid does look a bit different."
Sevriel wrapped his arms around Devi, hugging the demon. Devi still wasn't completely himself, but regardless, he was back!
"We have two children!" Sevriel laughed, feeling the tears stinging at his eyes as Devi melted in his embrace.
"Is this real? Am I really home?" Devi asked, leaning into Sevriel's embrace.
"Yeah, love, you're home," Sevriel kissed him.
