Author Note
Hiya. Alright, the wait is over! The baby is here... well, it will be at the end of this short fic. Sorry for the tiny fic, but there wasn't much I could say about a kid being born; well, there wasn't ANYTHING I could say! Sorry again for the lack of updating, but I have been very busy while writing my other stories, so there should be some more fics shortly - if only I didn't have to change them for Lost Boys 2! (If I didn't it would be confusing)
I am thinking of including Alan in these stories somewhere - despite the apparent vampirism, you can't have Edgar and not have Alan!
Hope you enjoy this one!
Story Start
Edgar looked down at the small bundle he held in his arms. It looked up at him, blinking twice before going to sleep. He carried it back to Blanche and sat down.
He'd been in his shaping shed when the phone rang. Blanche had gone to see Erika in Santa Carla for a while. When he'd picked up the phone he could barely understand a word Erika was saying. She was panicking about something.
'Erika!' He yelled down the receiver. 'Calm down. Take a breath and tell me what's going on.'
His eyes widened when she told him.
'I'll be right there!' He slammed the receiver down and ran towards his car.
...
Erika had been waiting for him outside the hospital. She had a strange look on her face, but a smile crept up when she saw him. She ran to him, hugging him tight.
'Congrats.' She said.
'Is she- Are they okay?'
She smiled as she let him go.
'They're fine. Blanche is just resting for a while.'
'And the kid?'
'Perfectly healthy. No problems, nothing unusual.'
'Can I see them?'
Erika nodded and led him inside.
...
He looked from Blanche to the baby repeatedly. She smiled when their eyes met.
'What're you thinking about?'
His mouth twitched in a half smile. 'What we're going to call her.'
He stared at his daughter, random names flashing through his mind. None of them seemed to fit her.
'Hmm.' Blanche paused for a moment before smiling. 'I've got an idea.'
'Yeah?'
'What do you think about... Lexi.'
'Lexi...' His eyes moved back to the small child. The name seemed to stick.
'Sounds nice.' He said.
Erika leaned on the door frame, smiling at the couple. Blanche grinned at her friend.
'What do you think, Erika?'
She flashed a grin back at her. 'Cool. Any middle names?'
Blanche chucked. A while ago they had secretly discussed what to name the baby. Erika had pleaded with her to name it after her if it was female. She was probably hinting at that now.
'Edgar? What do you think?'
There was a small pause.
'What about Fae?'
'Lexi Fae Frog... Wow.' Erika smiled.
It wasn't as good as being the kid's namesake, but she thought it was pretty cool... as long as she got to be the godmom!
...
A/N: There you have it! ...Here's some pointless name meanings! 'Erika' means 'Eternal ruler', 'Lexi' means 'defender' or 'Defending men' and Fae means 'Fairy'. Please tell me what you think!
