She imagined that had they arrived here at any other time, it would still have looked as it did right now, glowing a soft white that brought back memories of safety and home.
It had been a long journey for the three of them. A Grimm might have assisted her when she gave birth, and he might have had two predatory wesen with him helping, but that had done nothing to curtail her wariness. They were unusual – and as any Glühenvolk child knew, it was best to be careful that to constantly expect something unusual.
It had taken them months to reach here, the cares of their newborn daughter coming before anything. If there was no obvious, immediate threat to their lives, they would spend days at the same place, allowing them all a chance for some much needed rest.
But finally – finally – they were here, in a place that looked just like what she imagined Paradise to be. There were friendly faces everywhere; faces she wouldn't have to worry would sell her out at the slightest chance.
Neither she nor the man beside her had grown up here, their families preferring to try and live like their ancestors once did – among other wesen and ordinary humans, relying on their control over their wesen forms to protect them. They had been killed because of their choice.
But when she had discovered that she was pregnant, there had been no other option for the two of them. Their child would grow up safe in a way they never had the chance to, have the family they had both lost too early.
And after so long, they were in Alaska. They were safe, and she could breathe once again instead of worry about another hunter coming after her baby.
"Jocelyn?" The concerned voice jarred her out of her thoughts immediately.
"I'm fine, Vincent," she said, smiling up at her gorgeous husband reassuringly.
"Shall we?" he asked her in a murmur. "I don't think we'll be able to keep them away for long – the sight of Rose already has everyone spellbound."
"She's a baby, Vince. It's really no surprise that they're enthralled – I'm sure they think that she's their early Christmas gift."
"A new saviour for our species reaching them in early December," he mused mischievously, "Sounds about right."
She burst out laughing at his mock seriousness, a laughter she hadn't felt comfortable to let out of her for months. They had barely been here a few moments, and she was already feeling so much freer.
"Come on, Vincent," she said in reply, "Let's go introduce Rose to her new family."
A/N: Yes, I had they name their daughter after Rosalee - I thought it was a fitting way for them to honour the woman who helped bring her into the world :)
I hope you guys liked it! As always, please don't forget to review on your way out :)
