The Sparrow Flies North Under New Management (Random Book #3)

YWSL FE PW Day 5: Babies

Reina: I didn't have inspiration until now.

A Lissa x Maribelle pairing. I didn't know that this was a pairing people shipped until I was reading Laslow fanfics and lots of them had Owain with two moms. That pairing stuck with me because I actually thought that Maribelle was in love with Lissa when I first picked up Awakening. But that's besides the point.

Sleep My Child

"Wah! Wah! Wah!"

Lissa threw her embroidery to the side and dashed to the nursery. She walked to the crib and picked up her baby son Owain, who was still crying. Quietly shushing him, she rocked from side to side, hoping that he would go to sleep soon. It was late, amd she didn't want Lucina to wander in and attempt to "help" her again. The last time had resulted in Owain staying awake for six hours and him and Lissa napping for an entire day.

"Mum?"

Lissa turns to see her three year old son Brady rubbing his eyes tiredly. "Is Owain awake?" He mumbles quietly.

Lissa smiled weakly. "Unfortunately so.... Could you get your mother so that she can help me?"

Brady nodded and toddled off, shouting, "Ma!" Lissa laughed quietly, imaging Maribelle blow a casket upon being called Ma again.

When Brady was gone, the princess grabbed a bottle and attempted to hand it to Owain, but he rejected it. She checked his diaper, but it was clean. She looked to see if anything had disturbed him, but everything was in place.

Do I have to hold him until he sleeps? She thinks worriedly. She had to do that often with Brady, and the nights she did it resulted in a cranky Lissa attacking Chrom with a staff for pointing out her "delicate" bed hair on more than one occasion.

Lissa sat down on a chair, rocking Owain gently until she heard the clicking of heels, and looked up to see Maribelle carrying a sleeping Brady in one arm and a blanket in the other.

"I was washing Owain's blanket. It had a stain on it."

So that's why he was crying, Lissa thinks quietly.

Lissa gently puts Owain back in his crib and covers him with the blanket. She begins to sing softly, and as she sings, she doesn't see Maribelle fall asleep while holding Brady. Soon Lissa herself starts to drift asleep, and as she finishes singing, she falls asleep while leaning against the crib.

It took another hour for Owain to sleep. He had spent that hour giggling and babbling to his cousin Lucina, who had entered the room to check on him.

------------

I had no idea what to do for this. So it's implied that Lucina made Owain sleep.

So yeah.

That was Day 5. Day 6 should be up next.
