VASILKAERA GLANCES TOWARDS THE GUARD as they rush off , and then focuses back on auraline . â yes , i expect it to be so . i am glad you were able to find success and have your children . they are lovely and you both deserve that happiness . you and leopold are lucky to have each other . â vala knows it will go smoothly despite not remembering her first pregnancy .
    vala nods . she does know her baby will be just that . a baby . but âŚÂ â wrath is there . he has always protected me , always taken care of me . he has known me longer than i have known myself . and i can protect lacey . she will be a child , but she will also be a dragon . â she knows hell is known for violence , and she does not take offence to auraline���s concern . but she knows house wrath , knows how to get in and out of the realm on her own if necessary . knows wrath . â i have always been safe with wrath . lacey will be as well . she will have both of us to protect her . â Â
đđťđ¸ đşđđ´đ
đˇ đđťđ´đ đ
đ¸đśđźđ¸đđ¸đ their queens request rushes off quickly , allowing auraline to focus on hers and the dragon's conversation while they wait . â it's scary , but also . . . one of the most beautiful things you will ever experience . i â i don't believe i have shared this before , but leopold and i tried for many years to have a child without success . i was terrified when it happened because i was so worried from all of that . i did have leopold to support me through it , but cosimo was an angel through the whole thing and he would for you too . â even if vasilkaera could not remember from before , auraline knows that with the archangel's help , it would ease so many worries .
auraline resists the urge to interject while the dragon shares her experience with house wrath . it's not until she is sure she is done making her point that she speaks again . â i am sure it does to you . house wrath being home to you . . . but you are an original dragon . your child will be . . . a child . how are you use that hell is the best place for them to be safe ? â again , she hopes her friend doesn't take offense . but she cannot help asking . the realm is known for its violence after all .

SHE KNOWS HOW MISCHIEVOUS LYCHEE CAN BE . but she is a sweetie and vala trusts talia if she thinks lychee wonât cause harm . â snuggles are okay , but no claws or teeth . â vala says . she settles next to talia on the couch , reaching to scratch behind lycheeâs ears again . â i do not know . it does not make sense . i think i would just call it rainbow not unicorn . â she says . it was pretty though and she is curious . hopefully it does taste good . â i am good . all healed . so far we are sleeping . some weird hours but we are sleeping . â

VALA GLANCES OVER AT KAELIE AND LACEY , watching for a moment as lacey watches kaelie . vala lifts inĂŞs up , holding her against her chest . she knows this is not fun for kaelie and she does feel terribly for it , not having wanted her visit to cause stress for the unseelie princess . she presses a kiss to inĂŞsâ cheek when she nods . â what do you mean ? â she asks when kaelie speaks , head tilting slightly as she squeezes inĂŞs lightly . Â
đđđđđđ đđđđđđđ đđđđ at the baby in her arms while she continues to rock her ever so softly . â i know who else is not having fun right now . that's right . me . â she coos , almost as if she speaks the softest of words instead of the truth . lacey is the only reason why the unseelie princess does not run for the hills in this moment â even if she is tempted to do so . inĂŞs continues to cling to the dragon while she nods her head and kaelie finally looks at them again , tilting her head . â maybe that is the downside of being pride's daughter . unless i had her with greed . . . or envy . . . well , shit . â

VALA HAD NOT PICTURED introducing lacey to kaelie and inĂŞs this way either , even though she had known it would be difficult . at least lacey seems mostly just interested in kaelie while vala is focused on comforting inĂŞs . vala mouths â i know . â in response when kaelie tells her she spoiled her too much . she lifts nessie up , nuzzling her softly . â you have to be brave , lapochka . it will be okay . i know it does not seem like it , but once lacey is a little bit older you will have so much fun with her . â
đđđđ đđ đđđ how the unseelie princess pictured this meeting . she knew that inĂŞs would have a hard time sharing the dragon , but she did not think that her daughter would burst into tears the moment vasilkaera walked in , holding her newborn . she cradles lacey against her chest , rocking her ever so gently in an attempt to keep her calm and comfortable â if this feels slightly overwhelming to her , it has to be overstimulating for a baby as well , no ? the little unseelie nods through her tears while she clings to the blonde , but it does not keep the water from rolling down her cheeks . â you spoiled her too much . â she mouths , making sure that her daughter does not see , but it is true , isn't it ? funnily enough , she does not seem to mind that kaelie holds lacey , after all .

SHE NUZZLES AT TALIA AGAIN , humming softly and nodding . â good . i am always happy to see you too . â she does feel strange about living apart , too . she is glad talia loves her townhouse though , and she means it when she says they can visit each other as often as they want . the older dragon smiles at lychee , bending to offer some soft pets to her . â hi lychee , this is lacey . sheâs my new baby . â vala gives the cat some scritches behind her ears and shakes her head . â she does not need to be sent upstairs . if you think she will be nice , then i trust you . â vala is not worried . she shrugs . â it was on my way and i was craving . â she hums , â i think unicorn just means it is rainbow coloured . â Â
đđđ đđđđđđ đđđđđđ when her mother pulls her into a hug and she returns it very gently so that her newborn sister does not get crushed . . . or even squeezed . â better now . you know that i am always happy to see you . â she admits . it's still strange for her that they are living apart ( maybe even more so now that lacey is born ) , but talia loves the townhouse . her eyes widen a little when lychee shoots out of a corner to rub against vasilkaera's legs , teeth scraping against her lower lip . â i think she will be nice to lacey ? if you are worried i can bring her upstairs . . . â she offers before she accepts the tray . â thank you . you didn't have to ! â but she appreciates it nonetheless . â unicorn ? that sounds scary . . . come in . sit , sit ! â

đđđđđđđđđđ đđđđđ đđđ very well â he would have complained if she spent an hour ( or even longer than that ) in the kitchen , just to bring him churros . â i suppose that makes them an acceptable gift . â the archangel teases , but he already sets the box aside so he can step closer to the dragon and her daughter , placing one arm around her . â you are looking good . i hope the healing process went well for you ? â he inquires before he presses a soft kiss to her hair . it is an answer that matters to him , even if lacey is threatening to steal his attention . â i do not know the answer to that , but i am definitely excited to see her . she is adorable . â which is something that he pointed out more than once , but how could he not ?

â OF COURSE I AM NOT . â she has met enough supernaturals despite her tendency to recluse away from anyone outside her family and close friends to know well enough . something about age and power , she assumes . was she this selfish when she was young ? maybe wrath knows . she beams when auraline asks the guards to retrieve her request . â thank you . â she hums , nodding . â no , i suppose i wonât be . i wish i knew what it was like the first time . perhaps i should have gotten my memories back first . â she muses . then sheâd have more of an idea of what to expect from herself .
    donât get along , donât like each other . first impressions can be everything . she has never tried to push them together , so long as neither tries to pull her from the other . vala nods . â it is my home . house wrath is âŚÂ familiar . even if i did not live there before the memories were taken , it was familiar , a place in my life that was not the moving around that my twin and i did before we settled , only for him to leave me . wrath is familiar . he never left . he helped me when we escaped aspasia . he tried to tell me about the before aspasia . house wrath feels like home . â Â
â đđđ đ´đ
đ¸ đđđ đđťđ¸ only one . â it seems most supernaturals she knows are selfish ---- does that come with their age , power ? who knows ; however , like the queen said , she is more than happy to give into vala's ' selfishness ' right now . â coming right up . â the fae kindly asks one of her nearby guards to retrieve the request before turning back to her . â if it makes you feel any better , you won't be worrying about any of that during it . trust me . â she chuckles . the only thing a soon-to-be-mother will be worrying about is the safe delivery of their child that is coming into the world . and as they both have said , cosimo will guarantee that .
she merely shrugs at the dragon's next words ---- the truth is , one moment is defining what they are . is that simply a matter of not getting along or just both refusing to try ( again ) ? and now she hopes her friend won't take offense at her next words , but she has to ask â . . . are you sure raising a baby in hell is a good idea ? â
