The Rose in the Autumn

the birth of Charylisabella

Reginald sat in his studies as he was smoking his pipe as Muriel and Augustus were outside tending to the fire as they could hear their mother screaming in agony.

'Anything yet?' Reginald asked, sticking his head out of his study.

'No, not yet.' Muriel said as she looked at her father.

Around eleven o'clock at night, Adrianna came downstairs as she was clearly exhausted as Reginald looked at her.

'Well?' He asked.

'It's a beautiful little girl.' Adrianna said as she looked at her. 'She's healthy.'

Reginald headed upstairs as he came to see Lilith, who was sitting in bed. She was holding onto a blanket as Reginald came to see the sleeping newborn baby girl.

'Lily.' He said as he kissed his daughter on his head. 'What's she called?'

'Charylisabella.' Lilith said as Reginald looked at Charylisabella, who was sound asleep with a tiny thumb in her mouth.

'She's beautiful.' Reginald said as he picked up his little girl. Charylisabella woke up as she started crying. 'Hey, little one, it's ok.'

Muriel and Augustus came to meet their little sister. Lilith placed her baby girl in the cot next to her bed.

That night, Lilith was woken by Charylisabella crying as she was hungry as Lilith picked her up as she fed her baby girl as Reginald was asleep.

The following morning, Muriel was sat with Charylisabella in her arms as Charylisabella was sound asleep in her arms as she held onto her hair as Muriel kissed her tiny forehead.
