"So you are fine? Are you both okay? my partner asks, pressing his forehead against mine, still

reeling from the strange news of the Dark God's gift.

“We are,” I say, nodding, sure of it. And then I move again and hand him the baby. “You check it out.

Same, new dad,” he sighed, placing the girl in her father’s arms.

In Sinclair's face, and through our bond, I see his heart completely melt. “Oh God,” she sighs,

shaking his head as he looks at his little girl. “I'm a failure, Ella. This one already has me in the palm of its

hands, even when I have it in mine.”

“Don't worry,” I sigh, snuggling next to him, enjoying the sight of my partner, the one I love most in the world.

world, falling in love with our little daughter, as I already did. “I won’t tell you the power she wields.”

“It will be our secret,” he says, nodding and with a small smile on his lips. We stayed silent for a

moment, studying it, when I suddenly realize that it has no name.

"What do you think?" I ask quietly, resting my head on his shoulder. “Is she an Emma? Or an Eloise?

My partner's smile deepens when he looks at me, and I already know his answer before he says it, because it's

precisely the same as mine.

Those names are cool, but they're not hers.

“No,” Sinclair says, smiling at me before turning to his little girl. “She is totally and completely an Ariel.”

“I know,” he sighed, running a finger along his cheek. “Welcome to the world, Ariel Sinclair. You are already very, very loved.”

And Ariel stretches her mouth into a wide yawn before snuggling into her father's arms, happy and content. Sinclair

and I laugh when we see him and I know that his heart, like mine, is very full. I transmit my joy and love to you

both of them, and I'm totally thrilled when Ariel returns a small tentative pulse of love as she

gets used to his new environment.

The next hour is busier than I would like, with the doctors returning to the room to

This, I can't help but smile and turn to Ariel in the room, eager to keep my eyes on her. .

My baby, my little one. I'm so excited that she's here, that she's mine. God, her whole life is in front of

her and I can't wait to see her live it.

Once the doctors have given us the final go-ahead (at least for now, the nurses, of course,

"Mother!" Rafe screams, his voice so terribly sad it breaks my heart.

“Ohhh, baby,” I murmur, running over to Roger and taking my oldest baby into my arms. “It's okay, you

we miss!”

“That's probably the longest he's been away from your side in…months, Ella,” Roger murmurs,

smiling at me and giving me a small hug while Rafe rests his head against my chest. Henry and Cora

As they approach, Cora puts her arm around Roger's and rests her head on his shoulder.

“Maybe sometime,” he sighed, shaking his head. It really is my little baby with velcro almost always

with me. But, of course, it's not entirely their fault that I can be accused of being an overly attached parent.

But I don't know if that matters to me. I just… I like being around my son. Children, now.

“Poor little guy,” I murmur, petting Rafe's sweet head and turning to where Sinclair approaches with

the baby. “He missed us.”

Rafe sits up with a small cry and holds out a hand to Sinclair, wanting him to be close too.

“We're sorry, kid,” Sinclair murmurs, smiling at his son and taking Rafe's hand, leaning down to kiss it.

But we were busy! Mom was doing all the work to bring you a new little sister.”

Sinclair turns a little then, showing Rafe the baby, and Rafe sits up straight to look at Ariel.

We all stood very still for a moment, watching the brothers meet for the first time, but

Rafe suddenly gives a small cry of disgust and turns his head, closing his eyes and gripping my robe tightly.

We all started laughing at Rafe's little jealousy and I stroked his head some more, murmuring things to him.

“You have to be nice to the sissy, Rafe,” I whisper as he looks at his father, clearly allowing

They also come closer.

I turn Rafe on my lap so he can see Sinclair's arms more fully. Rafe turns his head and looks

his sister as if she were a little alien or a completely foreign species, which makes me

smile.

“Her name is Ariel,” Sinclair whispers to his son, and I look away when I hear Cora gasp. I smile

when I see her pressing her hand to her chest, her eyes almost closed with joy.

“Perfect name,” he says, and I laugh and nod enthusiastically, turning to my son.

 

 

“What do you think, little Rafey?” She murmured, rubbing his back as he leaned down to touch his sister.

"It will?"

Rafe mumbles something to Ariel, which makes me smile, but the moment his fingers press against her cheek,

I gasp. Sinclair does too, his eyes flickering to mine.

“Did you feel it too?” I breathe, suddenly very excited.

“I did,” he responds, laughing and nodding. We both turn our heads toward Rafe, who smiles at his sister for

first time. Ariel squirms a little in her blanket, smacking her lips and turning her head to the side,

clearly feeling sleepy.

“Wait, what is it?” Cora asks, leaning in.

“A bond,” I say, turning to her and smiling, “like with Rafe and Jesse.”

“Oh,” she says, standing up straight and looking at her son in her arms.

“Great,” Roger breathes, looking between the babies. “What do you think that means?”
