"She's pretty, Mommy," Charlotte commented as she watched Lexi cradle Lies-Marie, Lexi's new daughter and Charlotte's new half-sister.
"Yes, she is," Lexi agreed.
"Why'd you name her Lies-Marie?" Charlotte asked.
"That was my mother's name," Lexi replied. "I wanted to honor her."
"How cute," said a voice coming from the door. "And how girly."
Carolina swayed into the room and kneeled beside Lexi, who was knealing over the baby's cradel.
"I'd say it's too girly," said Carolina. "Come into my room, there's a little boy in there."
About two weeks after Lexi gave birth to Lies-Marie, Carolina gave birth to a little boy names Edgar.
"How's Darien liking her?" Carolina asked seriously.
"He glanced at her once and left the room. I've hardly seen him since."
Carolina smirked.
"You should have given him a boy."
And with that, Carolina got and left the room.
Lexi looked back down at Lies-Marie and put her arm around Charlotte.
