She was absolutely perfect. Lee’s heart was so full. She never knew, never knew the love that could encompass one’s heart when they looked upon their child. It brings back memories of her back, new worries and whys. Why had her birth mother abandoned her? Hadn’t she felt this kind of love for her? Or had she looked upon her and felt disgust? But no, there had always been that moment of love, or caring. So brief, so very brief, but it had been there...hadn’t it?
And then there had been Nevi, who stole her damn heart the very moment she laid eyes on him. He had taken her home, added her to his already large family. Then she had let them all down, said things that had broken whatever relationship she had had with Offspring, perhaps even Isle…. But Nevi...he still had that, so she was glad for that.
Even if all she knew as him. Even if she considered him, and now Lilette her only family. Because she didn’t belong anywhere else. She had learned that long ago.
But their little Lilette? Well, she would know nothing but love and adoration from the two of them. She expected their family to be large, large enough to love so many. And it wouldn’t matter if they were from their blood or not.
She clears the hard thoughts from her mind, focusing on this moment. She sighs happily, leaning into him when she can, laughing a little when Lilette sprawls out across their hooves. Lee takes in the way she looks like her dad, amazes herself with the fact that her little wings were glowing softly. “She is not going to be very good at hide and seek with those.” Lee says with an amused little smile, leaning down to gently ruffle the feathers with her lips, even as her nose inhales the scent of new baby and milk.
Mine. His. Ours. The thoughts are instinctive as she hovers with soft touches over their daughter. Her lips then turning to find the curve of his cheek. “I love you Nevi.”
