Being a mother was tiring; Eve learned that in the first week of taking care of her daughter.
James Potter turned out to be a better father than anyone would have ever imagined. When Adeline was allowed home from the hospital, Eve still had to stay for another two nights. She was asleep most of the time but James was still there nearly all of the day with Adeline in his arms.
As Adeline was gently placed into Eve's waiting arms, a profound sense of emotion washed over her. She cradled the tiny, fragile life in her embrace, her eyes fixed on the newborn, contemplating how such an innocent being could come into existence amidst such challenging and tumultuous circumstances.
"Addy...Addikins...Ads...Linny...Lin..."
"What are you doing?" Eve questioned, glancing up at James.
"Giving our daughter a nickname," James replied, looking down fondly at his daughter. "I like Addikins."
"Nicknames are normally shorter than the original so you went for Addikins?"
"It's cute," James protested. "But Addy seems the more likely choice, no?"
"I do like Addy." Eve admitted. "Better than Linny."
"I still think we should have called her 'Proof James got Eve to fall in love with him'—"
Eve didn't reply; She simply rolled her eyes. Though James couldn't see it, a soft smile had taken over Eve's face as she watched James coo at Adeline in his arms. She knew that they would have a strong bond...she just knew.
"Raina and Sirius are having a girl, did she tell you?"James piped up. "Sirius was surprised, he thought it would be a boy."
"Oooh!"Eve squealed. "Oh I'm so glad! They can be friends with Adeline and they'll be in the same Hogwarts year and..."
"Maybe actually wait until Raina Jr is born first," James corrected with a laugh. "Not sure this sweet girl will be a good mix for their wild child."
"They'll call her Callisto Siri Black," Eve confirmed. "Raina told me. Sirius was insistent on having their middle name as Siri no matter what. Callisto Siri or Leo Siri I think."
