Calantha knocked on Emilia's door, eager for a morning of girlhood chatter.
"Enter!" Emilia called out.
Calantha opened the door, finding Emilia in a serene scene.
Emilia sat in a comfortable chair, gently cradling her baby, Zephyrin, in her arms.
Zephyrin nursed contentedly, his tiny hands clutching Emilia's finger.
Calantha's eyes widened in surprise.
"Ah, sorry to intrude," Calantha said.
Emilia smiled warmly.
"Not at all! Come in."
Calantha approached, mesmerized by Zephyrin's peaceful expression.
"May I?" she asked, reaching out to gently stroke Zephyrin's soft hair.
Emilia nodded.
Calantha sat beside Emilia, watching Zephyrin nurse.
"You're a natural mother," Calantha said.
Emilia's eyes shone.
"It's been a journey," Emilia replied.
As they sat together, Calantha felt a deep connection to Emilia.
"Now, tell me about Kaidën," Emilia said, her voice filled with curiosity.
Calantha blushed.
"What do you want to know?"
Emilia grinned mischievously.
"Everything."
"He's not bad," Calantha said, a soft smile spreading.
Emilia's eyes sparkled.
"I knew it! I knew he had potential."
Calantha chuckled.
"He has his flaws, but he's really nice."
Emilia leaned in.
"Tell me more."
Calantha's gaze drifted, remembering Kaidën's gentle moments.
"He's kind and thoughtful, in his own way."
Emilia nodded.
"And passionate?"
Calantha's cheeks flushed.
"Very."
Emilia giggled.
"I'm glad you're happy."
Zephyrin stirred, and Emilia gently burped him.
Calantha watched, fascinated.
"Motherhood suits you," Calantha said.
Emilia smiled.
"It has its challenges, but Zephyrin makes it worth it."
Calantha's curiosity got the better of her.
"Emilia, tell me about you and Jeremy," she asked.
Emilia's eyes sparkled.
"Ah, Jeremy...he's my rock."
Calantha leaned in.
"How did you meet?"
Emilia's smile grew wistful.
"We met during a difficult time. Jeremy was instrumental in helping me through it."
Calantha's interest piqued.
