CHAPTER 7
Will cringed as he listened to Alyss's labour screams in the next room. She was giving birth to their second child and he was just as nervous as when Daniel was born. Daniel was sitting at the table with his head resting on his folded arms. He was sound asleep. Halt was pacing the floor with Pauline sitting next to Daniel reading.
"Someone better get Daniel to bed." Pauline said breaking the silence.
"He won't let me. Every time I try he wakes up and protests. So I humour him." Will said rubbing his son's back. Daniel peeked his eyes open and lifted his head.
"Do I have a little brother or sister yet?" He asked. Will smiled softly,
"Not yet little man. Mommy's still in the bedroom." He answered. Just then Alyss let loose a loud scream and then silence. Will looked anxiously at the door to the bedroom then they all heard a wonderful sound. The squalling of a little baby.
Will picked Daniel up and hurried into the room closely followed by Halt and Pauline. Alyss was sitting up in bed cuddling a pink bundle.
"It's a girl Will." Alyss said holding her out to Will.
"What are we going to call her?" Will asked as he took his daughter.
"Esther Lilac?" Alyss suggested. Will smiled and nodded. Daniel peered over the edge oft he bed that Alyss and Will were sitting on.
"Can I see daddy?" Daniel asked. Will showed Daniel his little sister and Daniel beamed.
"I'm going to take care of her and teach her everything." Daniel stated holding Esther's hand. Will looked on at his children and wife completely at a loss for words.
