Indeed no one was late to that night's dinner, in fact they all seemed to Follow Kyera's lead and arrived early . Raina, Clovis and Eve wore matching gowns in a brilliant blue color . It made the three stand out against the greens, blacks, browns, and purples of the Shadow Veil hall .
Kyera however, had no clothing in blue . Afterall she had never answered to her Emperor as his daughter in law . There was hardly a chance to have anything made . So instead Kyera wore the coolest Purple she had, in pretty deep color made of true fabric . The shadows danced around her feet no longer having to clad her body . Their motions made the beautiful but simple dress seem to dance around her legs, it ending just a few inches from the floor .
The only problem was, the hostess was late . Vella had yet to come down from her room . Mordrin and Mordakai fussed about whether or not he should go up and check on her . Mordakai warned Mordrin not to, or she might feel rushed . Kyera however felt something different in the air . It was a familiar tingle that someone needed help .
AdvertisementWithout checking with anyone else, she made her way up the stairs and to the little hallway that led to Mordrin's room . The sound of panting filled Kyera's ears as well as the scent of blood filled her nose .
She swung the door open with a decent bit of force to find a grisly site . Vella laid in the floor whimpering, her gown covered in blood . Kyera sighed moving to her and kneeling . "Looks like someone tried to power through the contractions like they were not hurting . " Kyera chided gently . Vella looked up at her worry in her eyes .
"The baby… is is everything okay?" she asked teary eyed . Kyera laid her ear to her stomach and listened . The tiny second heartbeat was strong .
"Yes, but the wee baby is coming whether you want it to or not . Lets get you up on the bed . " Kyera ordered but when Vella tried to stand, she found herself swept up in female arms much stronger than she imagined them to be .
"Thank you . " Vella whispered honestly feeling a bit shamed . Afterall this woman was a noble… how could she appear so pitiful infront of her?
"Of course, Princess . Lets get this baby here safely . " Kyera waved off the praise and set about putting her in position . Once she was set, Kyera just smiled . "Maids send for the Emperor and the Prince… we have a baby coming . " Kyera shouted down the hall before returning to Vella "Hot water and blankets to the Lady's chamber!" she added while rolling up the sleeves of her gown .
"Have… have you ever…" Vella struggled with the question . She had no idea how to express her concern .
"I have helped birth plenty of little beauties . Do not worry about that . " Kyera assured her with a tender smile . With that the task began .
Mordrin and the royals ran into the room, water was brought and so were the blankets . Mere hours passed and the cries of a child could be heard .
"It is a boy . " Kyera declared with a wide grin . She used the water to rinse the crying child and wrapped him in a blanket . Vella reached for him and Kyera placed the child in her arms .
Vella cuddled the child while Mordrin cuddled her . Their family had begun . Mordakai put his arm around Kyera's waist and hugged her . "You did well, little Shaman . "
"I told you when I was little I would give birth to your grandchildren . I have held my promise" Kyera teased causing the room to chuckle .
"You sure have, Princess . You sure have . " Mordakai agreed as Clovis wrapped his arms around his wife, watching his friend and his sister hold his nephew . His eyes cast down at Kyera, thoughts on his mind jealous and hopeful at the same time .
Kyera would look Adorable with a baby bump, he decided quietly to himself . It was a site he could not wait to see .
