What About Eda

by BlackSwanGirl

It's all from the former and future mother's point of view. Remember Edaline? This is her feelings about everything Sophie's done. Has a bit about Jolie, I basically made that part up. :)

6. The First Entry

Edaline had just come home from the infirmary, carrying a small bundle that held a gibbering baby.

Grady stride in behind her, beaming.

"Eda," he said, looking at her happily. "We have a daughter!"

They had decided to name her Jolie, after Edaline's mother, Jolie Jousp.

They sat on the couch of their old house, staring at the newborn, who was giggling.

Grady got up and pulled a out a purple leather bound journal.

Edaline smiled. "We never used that old thing."

Grady smiled, then pulled out a marker.

When he was done, the journal said:

THE JOLIE JOURNAL

Edaline smiled as Grady opened the first page.

He wrote:

First day in the world! Jolie was born on September 1st, her inception date was January 1st, and her first word was 'swan'.

She looks like Eda, but Eda says she looks like me. It's hard to tell.

Love,

Grady

Grady set the journal down, and together they went upstairs to they baby's room, which was a beautiful teal color with a built in bathroom and closet, layed her down in her dark pink bed, and let her fall asleep to the soft lullaby that Edaline sang.
