A/N: And so we come to part one of the customary final-double update finale type thing...it was the first vignette I wrote for this collection. Very short because, well, it's only meant to be a moment ^^ Have fun, see you in half an hour ^_^ ~ Mika
Between "The Fire..." and "What Sorrow..."
Jakuelynn Mar Ghosten (née Mar Hagai) had endured many trials in her quarter-of-a-century of living. She'd braved monsters ten times her height, enemies with twice her willpower and cunning, defeated opponents with just her bare hands.
She had done many things that warranted her reputation.
But she had never changed a nappy on a baby before.
"Jaaaaaaaaak!" she yelled, making the walls of the house shake. In front of her, her baby son giggled as he shot wee in her face. Luckily, she was able to defend herself with another nappy as the steady stream of wee continued. Her son chortled at her.
"Rufas Day Mar Ghosten, you are a handful," she laughed, lowering the sodden nappy as the stream curved downwards, stopping altogether. "Good shot, though. Like me and your grandfather,"
"The nappy thing?" the aforementioned grandfather wheezed, leaning on the doorframe for support.
She turned her head, spotted him and nodded.
"Come here," he said, walking over to her and taking a nappy. "Under the bottom...middle one between the legs...then the right, then the left." He stopped, giving it to her. "Your turn,"
She hated how easy he made it. Taking the nappy, she lifted her son's bottom and followed her father's instructions carefully. She smoothed the Velcro straps down, tugging at the nappy to make sure it was fastened on. Standing her son up, she buttoned up his Babygro and hoisted him onto her shoulder, a grin on her face.
"I did it!"
Jak smiled at the long-missing joy on his daughter's face, Keira once again present there.
