"Uh..I have only thought of a few names, but Elara wanted to wait till after we met our child to speak of them."
He looked back down to his daughter.
"In truth, I did not think the baby would be a girl. And I really only have one girl name in mind."
Judith smiled, "Well, she will be one of the most beautiful little girls in all of Wedon. That is for sure."
Gabel kissed the top of his daughter's head, "I am a lucky man to be given such beautiful children. For that I credit Elara."
Judith nodded then slapped her knees with her hands.
"I should probably go check on our little Cassian. Though I am sure he having the time of his life in that gigantic play room of yours Countess."
Maximillian smiled, "W-will you be okay Sir Gabel if I accompany Judith to check on the children?"
"I think so. Please give my son a hug for me."
"Of course, we will be r-right back and I will have a maid outside in case you need something."
"Thank you my lady."
The two women quietly stepped out of the room. Gently closing the door behind them.
Gabel brushed his finger over his daughters small lips. Right below her lower lip, he saw a small mole.
An exact copy of his.
"How are you even real little one. It seems like just yesterday your beautiful mother was telling me she was pregnant with you. Now here you are."
***
Elara cracked open her heavy eyelids.
Everything was blurry.
What happened?
She groaned.
Last she remembered was feeling immense pain accompanied with a heavy pressing sensation over her eyes.
When she turned her head to slightly the right her heart swelled.
Right beside her, Gabel was sat in a wooden chair.
His eyes were shut.
Each time he breathed, a tiny head with dark hair rose and fell with his chest.
Oh My baby.
Tears forming in her eyes.
She tried pushing herself up off the bed, in desperation to get to her child.
Unfortunately her body had other plans and one of her arms gave out under her.
Suddenly Gabel's head snapped up.
"Your awake! How are you feeling?!"
Elara kept her eyes locked on her baby.
"Gabel...give me my baby."
She held her arms out towards him.
He slowly rose from his chair, kneeling on the bed beside her.
"My love tell me please, how are you feeling? I can call for a maid if you need something."
Elara reached her arms out further, taking hold of the baby in his arms.
"I just want to hold my baby."
Immediately she pulled her child close to her chest.
"...oh..." she lightly sobbed against her baby's head.
"She is beautiful Elara...so beautiful."
"She?"
Her Sobs came pouring out of her mouth.
