Changes of Fates: Afterstory

Our Daughter

About a year later, Exe and Mephiles were sitting together in their rooms. Exe laid on Mephiles' lap and enjoyed his husband's presence. They had gotten married a few months earlier and they already loved every second of it. The sunlight made the rings of their fingers sparkle. Everything was perfect. 

"Are you ready my love?" Mephiles asked. The two had been talking about having a child since they got married. The two loved the idea of having a child but never committed to it. Having a son or daughter would truly complete their lives and they swore to be the best parents to them. 

Exe looked up to face his husband. He felt like he was ready to take the next step. He was ready to have a child. 

"Yes my love" Exe said. Mephiles leaned in to kiss Exe. The two stood up. 

"I'll get Elise"

The three stood in an open field. Elise sitting on the floor watching the two standing. Exe and Mephiles raised one hand in the air, an orb forming in both hands. The orbs flew up and began to circle each other. The orbs began circling faster and faster and another orb began to form in the center. Elise steps back a bit. 

The orb suddenly implodes and Elise hits the dirt. Luckily, the explosion wasn't that destructive. 

There was dead silence for a moment before a baby's cry can be heard. 

Elise stood up and saw Exe and Mephiles sitting on the floor. Exe was holding a pink blanket in his arms. The two of them appeared to be crying. 

"Isn't she beautiful?" Exe said. 

"She has your eyes" Mephiles said. He couldn't take his eyes off his newborn daughter. The one he helped bring into this world. And on his birthday too. 

"She has yours too" Exe told his husband. The baby had multicolored eyes. Her left eye was green and her right eye was red. She had a black patch of hair in the front of her head. She didn't have a mouth and was gray like Mephiles but her quills were dark blue like Exe's. The baby kept on crying as Exe rocked it. Elise went over to see the baby. 

"She's so cute" Elise said. "I'm so happy for you two"

Exe and Mephiles turned to her and smile. 

"She has blessed with her presence already" Exe said. 

"Have you two decided on a name yet?" Elise asked. Exe and Mephiles looked at each other. 

"We're stuck on two names. Phosphorone and Samara" Mephiles said. Elise chuckled. 

"Samara sounds like a cute name. " Elise said. "Samara the Dark. Has a nice ring to it"

"Samara it is then" Mephiles said. He kissed Exe on the cheek and his baby girl on the forehead. 

"Welcome to the world Samara. Your daddy and I promise to be the best parents to you" Exe told the baby. 

"and I'll be the best….. Friend. To you" Elise said. The three of them laughed. The baby had calmed down at this point and was quietly asleep in her dad's arms. The 3 we're as happy as ever. Their wedding was one thing but the birth of their daughter was the start of something special.
