Soft mischievous giggles draw me out of my sleep, I slowly open one eye. Raven black curls bobbing up and down catch my attention first, as she plays with her dolls.

"Shhh mommy is sleeping" putting a finger to her mouth shushing her dolls, her overwhelming cuteness brings a smile to my face

I had gotten pregnant shortly after graduation, although it wasn't ideal I wouldn't change it for the world. The moment I held her I knew I'd do anything to protect her and make her happy. Kol and I had come to the agreement that I'd choose her first name and he's pick her middle name.

Menodora Eleanora Stevens

"Okay, what name did you choose for our little girl mìlo?" Kol asks as he lays down next to me rubbing my belly, he told me he likes to know she's safe in there and wants her to know he's there.

It's quite adorable

"Menodora" I say hesitantly, I've basically taught Kol everything I could and now he's a master of all things Greek. He goes still, stopping all movements suddenly propping himself up on his elbow, looking at me with tears in his eyes, fuck, he hates it doesn't he?

"I'm sorry if you don't like it-"

"Gift of the moon?" His voice cracking, his eyebrows furrowed as he searches my face "Y-Yes" I slowly nod

"After?" He leaves the question in the air for me to answer; "Yes, after the night where you had asked me to dance and to be your girlfriend under the moon" my answer causes a tear to escape his eye, "I love you" he says before kissing my hand.

"I chose Eleanora as her middle name" he tells me, I start sobbing hysterically at his words, stupid pregnancy hormones. Everyday Kol proves he really does love me.

Although I fall in love with him more everyday from the way he gently wakes me up, making me my favorite meals on my rough days. In that moment when he told me what name he had chosen, it's like I had fallen for the very first time all over again.

I feel movement beside me as Kol's arm reaches around, finding its way to my stomach, holding it. "Good morning mìlo" he whispers kissing my cheek before moving to my stomach and kissing my bump.

That's right Baby number two

Giggling I catch the attention of little Menodora, "Mommy!" She shouts excitedly. "I'll go make us some breakfast" Kol says, giving me another kiss on the cheek before getting out of bed. Turning my attention back to her I sit up and begin getting out of bed

"Good morning, astèri mou" (my star) she puts her little hands over her mouth as she giggles. "Can we go see auntie Pen today?" She tilts her head to the side bouncing on her heels giving me her best puppy eyes.

It's the 10th anniversary of her death, I know that's why she's asking. I never used to visit her on the anniversary, the memories were too painful. That was until Menodora made it a rule to visit her 'auntie pen' at least once a month and especially today.

"Sure baby, anything you want" I give her a sad smile, I love telling her about Penelope. I've talked about her since she was old enough to comprehend the meaning and reality of death.
