The First Years- TLC Second Generation One-shots

Sunshine Girl

Sunshine Girl~ Jacinter/Wincin

"Should the comforter be pink or purple?"

"Mmmm, don't you think lilac sounds much better than purple? It reminds me of faraway fairy tale colors..."

Jacin made a noncommittal noise in the back of his throat as Winter shut one eye, studying the white child's cradle. "I think that the comforter should be rose, and the decorations baby blue." she responded finally, turning to face Jacin with a sunny smile. Her joy was infectious, and she saw Jacin grin slightly to himself as he spread the baby blanket over the mini mattress. "Whatever you say my princess."

Swaying as she hummed thoughtfully, Winter sat down on a rocker, resting he hands on her huge belly. "You know you don't have to call me princess anymore."

"I know." Jacin made his way around the collection of unopened toys and baby gifts, and bending down to nuzzle her nose, he said, "But you'll always be a princess to me."

Returning the nuzzle, she replied lightheartedly, "And you'll always be my guard."

"Let's hope you won't ever need one again." he lightly brushed his lips against hers, before straightening up to choose which pillows to put on the cradle.

"I like the lavender lace one." Winter said, inclining her head to the pillow he held in his left hand. "It reminds me of the beautiful bouquet you made me when we visited Scarlet-friends farm."

Winter saw Jacin blush slightly at the memory, hiding his face from her as he gently placed the pillow on the bed, fluffing it tenderly. Seeing him so vulnerable made Winter grin, she knew it was hard to get him to put down his defenses.

Jacin turned back to her before she had a chance to smother her smile. "What's got you so giddy?" he asked teasingly, continuing to hold her gaze even as he bent down to put extra pillows in the blue blanket box.

"Oh, I was just thinking about how it'll look with a baby." she said breezily, patting her belly. Now Jacin smiled too, pushing the pink curtains back to let light flood the room. It was a sun day in Artemisia and Winter loved how to golden rays made Jacin's hair glisten like shimmering icicles.

"Perfect." Jacin's voice brought her back from a vision of touching his icicle hair and it shattering, and Winter shivered. Her visions weren't completely done with, but the surgery, and Jacin, had definitely helped.

"Are you okay?" He asked, noticing her faint shiver. Nothing ever slipped past Jacin.

"Perfect." she responded, looking around the room. "I think we should paint the walls sunshine color." she said abruptly, her lips curling mischievously.

Jacin frowned slightly in confusion. "You mean yellow?"

"I mean sunshine! Like the golden light that makes everything prettier and warmer and happier."

Shaking his head and yet smiling to himself, Jacin bent down and picked up a can of paint. "Sunshine it is." Winter clapped happily as he opened a can of paint. Leaning over to peer in the can, Winter's eyes widened at the warm, sunny yellow that complimented to other colors in the room, making everything look brighter.

"Oh!" Winter clasped her hands together, "It's perfect!"

Jacin grinned proudly, and dipped a huge paintbrush in the can of sunshine, He then turned and lifted his arm, letting his hand brush against the plain wall, leaving a mellow, sunny streak of sun.

Winter jumped to her feet, swaying slightly under the weight of the baby in her belly. "I would like to help!"

Jacin nodded, motioning toward a tray of brushes. Instead of grabbing a large one like his however, Winter took a tiny detail brush and turning to the cradle, dipped it in the paint.

Delicately, she painted a tiny circle on the white cradle. Mesmerized, she made little rays erupt from the circle with paint creating a tiny, but no less spectacular, sun.

Enchanted by the miniature sun, Winter traced to the still wet paint in awe. She turned to see Jacin watching her fascination, a small knowing smile on his face.

"Did you know that on Earth, there's a season called summer where the shine shines all the time, making the whole planet warm and beautiful?" he asked, mouth curling to one-side.

"Like that time we visited Scarlet-friend, was that summer?"

"Yep."

"Summer, sounds like sunshine." she says, thinking. "Summer." Winter tastes the word. She looked at Jacin, mischief dancing in her eyes. "I like it." Looking into his grey-blue eyes, she can tell that he understands.

"A beautiful name for a beautiful girl." He covered her hand, still on the painting, with his and the two cover the summer sun in love for each other, and their daughter, Summer.
