Robin awoke with a smile on his angel's big day. Robin could tell that she was happier today while he fed her in the morning, leaving his wife to get some much needed sleep. Robin had been stepping out more and more often recently, needing to help Chrom and Sumia with the party. It was kinda weird not telling his wife, but he knew it would be worth it in the end. After about an hour, Cordelia awoke to see her beloved husband and daughter.
Robin knew he had to get Cordelia and Severa there for the surprise, but he was not sure how. He eventually decided to go ask Chrom since they had plenty of time before the party starts. As Robin was leaving the house, Cordelia blocked him while Severa was on the rug playing with one of her toys. "Where are you going?" Cordelia asked sternly as she looked at him dead on, "Are you going to go drinking again?" she continued and Robin looked at his wife shocked. He never actually thought about what she would think he's doing. He frantically searched his mind for an excuse after shaking his head.
This did not cut it for Cordelia as she immediately sulked her head and began to tear up, talking as she sniffled, "You are always leaving late at night, but coming back really tired, and… I… I… I wonder whether you want to spend time with me and Severa!" she said as she started to full blown cry when she said the last part, clinging to him in a close hug. Robin felt terrible that this was happening, holding her close as Severa crawled over and poked her mother's leg, looking up with her large innocent eyes at why her Mommy was crying. Robin then lifted and cradled Severa as they hugged, Robin eventually saying, "What I have been working on is for you and Severa" he said as she lifted Cordelia's chin to look her straight in the eye, "You have to trust me, you will know soon." Robin said as he watched as she sniffled and eventually smiled at Severa showing her a drawing she made.
A few hours passed since that incident, Robin walked up to Cordelia and smiled, "Dear, follow me, I think we should take Severa for a walk." Cordelia thought for a moment as she cradled Severa before eventually nodding and going outside with her husband. She looked a little perplexed when he started to lead her to the castle and eventually to the Shepherds garrison. Robin decided it wasn't worth trying to explain it so he led Cordelia into the garrison, hearing a very loud, "Surprise!" as they entered.
Cordelia could not believe her eyes. As she looked around she saw her friends, all of them, each of them there to wish her daughter a happy birthday. She could not help but smile greatly and say thank you since her baby could not. Cordelia smiled as she led Robin, Chrom and Sumia into a seperate room. They talked for awhile and decided they did not want Severa to become overwhelmed, so they made sure everyone at the party was calm and slowly introduced Severa to the Shepherds.
It was nice seeing how the all reacted to the bundle of joy. Nowi wanted to try and run around and play with her, only to find out she couldn't walk. Gaius tried to slip her some candy, but Cordelia the health stickler was there to give him a stern look. He had Robin on a strict diet every since they got together. Vaike was trying to teach the baby his many titles, but it did not end up working out well. Cordelia did have to take a few precautions, such as Tharja, Henry and Vaike stayed as far away from her daughter as possible. Robin was a bit protective, while he was definitely a bit more lenient.
After a few hours of introductions, the party was in full swing. There were musicians playing, while Olivia danced for all of them to see. Cordelia and Robin were there though to make sure that their daughter was ok. That eventually boiled down to the two of them cradling Severa as they sat at a table. They smiled as they watched their friends danced, but were interrupted by a certain clumsy pegasus rider, whom quickly lifted Cordelia to her feet while Robin held Cordelia.
"What is the meaning of this?" she asked flustered as she was awkwardly stood up.
"Dance Stupid" she said happily as she started to move, gesturing for Cordelia to do the same.
"Have you been drinking?" Cordelia asked her friend as a blush appeared on her face, barely being able to hear her over the music and other's conversations.
"You two are still young you know, may as well have some fun." Sumia said as she gestured for Robin to hand her Severa, which he reluctantly did.
"Okay, I'll watch her for a bit!" she had an almost childish smile on her face as she cradled the baby and began to coo at it.
"I think she finally got her wish. Hosting a party, hosting a baby shower, being a godmother, This is what she was building too." Robin said with a smile, turning back to his wife.
"So… uh… wanna dance…" Cordelia said with a blush as she looked at her husband, for the first time since they had Severa, they were really alone.
"Eh… sure…" Robin said as he scratched the back of his head and they went to the dance floor, where Gaius and his wife Olivia were showing everybody else up. While Olivia was more regal, Gaius seemed some street influence in his dancing, probably using some of his moves as a thief.
As Robin and Cordelia stared each other down, they knew why they were scared. They couldn't dance. They both didn't want to disappoint each other, but they had two left feet. The time Robin tried dancing, he ending up tripping on his legs and coat. Granted, now he was in a nice dress shirt and pants, he didn't want to take any chances. His role was behind a desk, not on a gymnastics mat. Cordelia on the other hand was worse than Sumia, and thats saying something. She remembered when the two of them just became pegasus knights, she attended a party they were holding, only for Cordelia to dance right into the bar, falling on the poor bartender.
This was not helped by Gaius, who was seemingly having the time of his life, with a lolipop in his mouth he seemingly jumped right next to Robin, placing a hand on his shoulder and a pop in his mouth, startling him, "Come on Bubbles, impress your lady" he said with a smirk as he looked at the scene around him, making sure everyone parted the dancefloor for Robin. He could only sigh as he entered the circle, ready to lose all of his reputation as a genius. Cordelia looked curious but backed away from the circle out of embarrassment. This was it, probably the stupidest thing Robin ever did in his life.
