Pantalone had no faith in the gods.
Not after the hand he was dealt with ever since he was born into this world.
And yet, when he looks into your eyes and sees a smile lighting up your sweaty face as you hold your newborn son to your chest...he finds the deep enmity he holds for the gods lessening ever so slightly.
For what else can this sight be than a gift from some higher being, some cosmic entity that saw fit to bless him with such a priceless treasure?
Not even all the wealth he'd accumulated could amount to the true value of this moment.
"Look, my love. Our Mikhail is such a strong little boy, isn't he?"
Motherhood suited you, he thought.
He already knew that fact from seeing the way you interacted with other children, but was only further enforced by the way you handled your child.
"He is...and I'll make sure he'll only ever grow up with all the best things in life. Both you and he deserve only the best," he vowed, mind racing a mile per second as countless plans began to form.
"You two deserve that much...for you are my most priceless treasures."
Pantalone pressed a kiss to your brow before settling back into his seat by the side of the bed, content with basking in this tranquil moment for as long as he can.
