Sweet child of mine

" she's beautiful luv" John smiled

You on the other hand we're a giant ball of sweat after a twelve hour labour. It wasn't anything easy but you daughter was well worth all the pain.

"Take her" you blurted out, John held your daughter in his arms. You had refused to hold her in fear of getting attached. "What?" He asked not sure if he had heard you correctly or if you was still high on pain killers.

You couldn't even look at him "Take her some where safe, I need her to be protected" you explained with tears in your eyes. You had decided months ago before she was born, that she couldn't stay with you. It wasn't safe for her.

John sighed, he understood where you was coming from. He was demon tainted but the father, now that's where things get complicated.The baby's father was a vampire, Hence giving birth in one of the spare rooms of the mill house.

Being in a world full of human that didn't understand a feared you wasn't easy. Now not only did you have to morne the loss of your husband but, a baby to protect. "(Y/n) your her mother she needs you" John tried to reason with you. He knew you was scared, you spent almost every night crying in his arms.

Your sobs echoed in the small room, beads of sweat rolling down your forehead. "She needs to be with her own kind" you spoke barely above a whisper. Just go already John for god sake! Don't make this any harder for me.

John sighed, looking down at this small child in his arms. A child he helped bring into the world. A child he wished was his. John had always loved you, but he had to love you from afar. Being your best friend for many many years. "I can protect you both" he blurted out without thinking.

Your head snapped towards him, and you wish you hadn't. Seeing your daughter for the first time. John's smile, the softness in his eyes. He was a different man around you, and now he was a changed man. You sighed " John please" unable to tear your eyes off him.

"No luv, I've already let you go once and I regretted it. I'm not going to let you regret this" he explained, sitting next to you on the bed. His hip touching yours. God wasn't you a sight! Still lying on your back, covered in sweat, exposing yourself to the cold air. Your modesty was out the window by now, John had almost seen every inch of you.

John pulled the blanket covering you down slightly, exposing your chest but keeping your breasts covered. Gently placing the sleeping infant on your chest. At first you hesitated but, you placed your hand on her small body to hold her close. "Skin to skin is important, helps calm and relax baby and mother" he recited.

Lifting a questioning brow you started at John. "What?! I read some books okay" he defended his knowledge. You couldn't help but chuckle at his defence. He wasn't a bad midwife and birthing partner to be fair.

You also knew he was going to be an amazing father figure.
