BLEACHED (COMPLETED)

133: You forgot about him, didn't you?

"Mommy, wake up, baby is starving." Domen chuckles as Lavender groans at the cries of the baby who only amplifies her cries the moment she can tell her mother is close by. "We should give her a name, can't keep calling her baby."

He chuckles as Lavender forces herself to sit up and glance around the blurry as she squints her eyes to see what Domen is holding out to her.

"Oh right... I'm a mother... I forgot." Lavender yawns as she reaches her hand out as Domen places the baby in her arms. "What do you think is a nice name?"

Domen smiles as he watches Lavender caress the baby's cheek, seeming to sooth her a bit before giving her waiting baby what she truly is waiting for.

"I was piling up a lot of boy names, so let me try to think about it..." Domen sighs as he reaches his hand to the baby's head, gently giving it a soft pat. "Why do I think she looks more like me?"

"You wish she did." Lavender pouts her lips as she glares up at him, getting him to laugh and shrug his shoulders.

"You won't admit it, but the baby clearly took most of my genes, her hair matches mine, her eyes are from me too-."

"-Okay, whatever, we'll see as she grows up." Lavender rolls her eyes as Domen only laughs more at this.

"Don't worry babe," Domen says as he leans down to Lavender's shoulder and places a small kiss on her shoulder before placing another on her neck. "We can always make another one, another more similar to you."

Lavender blushes at this and glances off to the side as she realizes she now has Domen all to herself.

"You know... I never really thought we'd get this far... Having a family together." Lavender says as Domen continues placing kisses at her neck, then to her jaw and cheek. "I thought it was a one time experience to be with you. Then we'd part ways and remember how it used to feel. But not to a point of having a child... And planning for more."

"Neither did I." Domen shrugs his shoulders as he leans back to his spot. "Even though I liked you and fell for you, I always thought Evette would be with me for the rest of my life. And you'd just be the woman I have feelings for but never got to be with. But I guess fate had other plans."

Lavender smiles as Domen leans down and plants a warm and soft kiss against her lips, getting her butterflies to flap around once more, as he always did.

"I love you, Lavender. And I love our daughter, more than anything in the world." Domen says in a whisper as he brings his hand down to the baby, smiling as she squirms when he touches her, clearly not wanting to share her meal. "So it's only you that I want to have a family with, grow old and watch our children grow... For the rest of our lives."

Lavender bites her lower lip as tears start to blur her eyes, getting him to chuckle and reach his thumb to her cheek, gently wiping them away before they can get the chance to escape her eye.

"You're so emotional." Domen chuckles as he plants a kiss on her cheek. "Maybe that's why I'm in love with you."

Lavender chuckles and glances down at the baby that has now filled her stomach and is staring at the both of them.

"You know... Even as I was pregnant... I didn't think past that. Holding her now makes me realize even more that I'm a mum." Lavender explains as she caresses the baby's cheek, getting her to make sounds as a smile reveals her toothless gums. "I was scared she'd be so tiny and weak."

"It's all the food I fed you." Domen chuckles as he watched as the little girl turns her gaze to him. "And she couldn't wait to see me."

"Yeah right." Lavender chuckles as Domen reaches down and plants a small kiss on her cheek. "She was excited to see me."
