Gwyn slept better than she had in a long time. When she woke up enough to open her eyes she saw she was in Azriel's room. Last night came rushing back and Gwyn smiled. Azriel was nowhere to be found but Nyx still had his tiny arms and wings wrapped around her. She lay there for a while not wanting to get up and wake Nyx. sometime later Nyx woke up and unlike most children he just smiled up at Gwyn and hugged her tighter. Gwyn laughed softly and gently eased out of the baby's hold. 

- come on let's get you fed. 

 Nyx snuggled deeper into the covers. Gwyn laughed again and picked Nyx up and dressed him. Nyx didn't resist laying his head on her shoulder when she got up to leave the room only then did she notice. the sound of laughter coming from the kitchen. She slowly walked in to see Feyre, Rhysand, Mor and Azriel. Azriel was cooking breakfast even though the house could do it itself. Feyre was helping while Rhysand and Mor sat at the counter. It was already mid-day but it looked like they had all just woken up. When Mor saw Gwyn and Nyx she got up and took Nyx out of her hands. 

 - how's my niece?

 Mor crooned to the baby as Feyra made her way over and took the baby from Mor. Mor looked back to Gwyn with a smile Gwyn couldn't help but return.

 - thank you so much for babysitting. I haven't seen Feyre without Nyx attached not her hip for far too long.

 Mor chuckled. 

- oh it's no problem. He acted like an angel and he is a wonderful snuggler.

 Everybody looked schoked while Azriel had a quiet smile on his face. Rhysand looked over at him as if for confirmation and Az noded.

 - what? Gwyn asked confused.

 Feyra was first to shake off the shook and smile. 

- nothing it's just Nyx has never snuggled With anyone she barely lets me and Rhys hold her. Gwyn smiled back. 

- guess he liked me. 

Nyx as if in confirmation wiggled in his mother's hold to get to her. Gwyn gladly took him in her arms and the baby hugged her so tight she could barely breathe. 

- like? He loves her. look at them. He never lets me hold him like that.

 Mor sulked jokingly. Feyra gently pushed her towards a chair at the counter and sat down herself. Mor sat next to her. 

- by the way, I never got to thank you for the outfit you landed me on Nesta and Cassian's mating ceremony it was so beautiful. 

Mor smiled.

 -  it's nothing you looked so gorgeous it would have been treacherous not to give you the dress. - you looked truly gorgeous. I was jealous the whole time. 

Feyra chimed in with a laugh. Mor winked at Gwyn while Rhysand got up to kiss Feyra's cheek.

 - you? Jealous? I don't think anyone was more gorgeous than you at that party.Feyra blushed and slapped his chest playfully.

 - thank you again Gwyn for babysitting. 

Rhys added with a smile for her.

 - like I said it really was not a bother I can babysit anytime you would like.

 Mor chuckled evilly and leans over to whisper dramatically in her ear. 

- Oh you will regret saying that later.
