The Savior

The Human Queens

Acalla P.O.V 

In the weeks after Naexi's birth, things got extremely tiring for the new parents. 

Azriel and Acalla spent most of their nights trying to get their daughter to sleep for her to just scream some more. 

Cassian tried to help Azriel and Acalla with Naexi's sleepless nights, but he usually fell asleep with the baby in his arms. 

Mor would come along right after Naexi woke up to help them with the morning. Mor would watch her while Acalla took a shower, made breakfast, and did other things. 

Amren would bring books that she thought the baby needed to read.

Feyre was the most helpful having already had a child herself. She knew was early motherhood was like. Stressful and tiring. Sleepless nights among other things. 

Rhysand would mostly help Azriel. 

Rhysand was currently showing Azriel how to change Naexi's diaper. Since Acalla fed the little monster, it was Azriel's job to change her. That was the agreement. 

"Yeah just tuck that right there," Rhysand said pointing to something Acalla couldn't see from his perch in the doorframe. 

"Okay," Az said. 

"Then you're done," Rhys said. 

Az lifted their daughter in the air. 

"She's perfect," Acalla said. 

Az and Rhys both turned their heads. 

"How long have you been standing there?" Azriel asked. 

"For a few moments," Acalla said, "Why? Was something crazy happening earlier?" 

"Well, she started pooping right when Az took off the diaper. In fact, he hadn't even moved his hand," Rhysand said. 

"I washed it for about five minutes," Az said defensively, but not fast enough to cover Acalla's burst of laughter. 

"She pooped on your hand?" Acalla asked. 

Azriel just gave her a soft glare. He moved to touch her. 

"No, you keep your poopy hands over there," Acalla said moving away. 

As they were standing there laughing, Cassian came running with a serious look on his face. 

"You have to come to see this," Cassian said. 

"What?" Rhys asked. 

"It's the Human Queens, I think they're tired of waiting," Cassian said. 

Rhsyand just looked at Azriel and ran off. 

Azriel looked at Acalla. 

"I'll take her, you go," Acalla said grabbing Naexi from his arms. 

He gave Acalla and Naexi quick kisses on the forehead and then ran off behind Cassian and Rhysand. 

Acalla just hoped everything was alright. 

Although, she knew deep down that things were finally being set in motion. That her part to play would come sooner rather than later. The Human Queens were done waiting and were finally making their first move. 

Acalla just sighed and looked at her daughter. 

"I love you my little star," she said hugging her closer. 

Her daughter didn't know the terrors that would face her family and specifically her mother in the coming years.
