A surprise visit

Author’s note: I’m on vacation for a few days, so my writing will be more sporadic until I get back. Thanks for your patience!

After another couple days, you’re relaxing in the living room with Maya and Samara, along with Kari and Sira, laid on a blanket and giggling at each other. They’ve already learned to roll over, and find it hilarious, apparently. The three of you watch them, amused. Samara has a thoughtful look on her face, but before you can ask her, there’s a commotion in the hallway.

Coming through the door with a huge smile is Daigo. “I made it, finally! Word travels so slowly!”

Maya bounces up. “Dad! I was wondering when you’d get here! Come see your granddaughters!”

Daigo looks down at the pair of babies, and you swear you can see the dragon’s heart melt. He immediately scoops them up in his arms, and starts cooing at them. Maya giggles, and you laugh to see the powerful dragon making silly faces and baby talk. Kari and Sira seem to adore this, however. They both wiggle and flap their tiny wings, babbling right back at him.

Daigo turns to you and Maya, beaming. “They’re beautiful, just like you two. Congratulations, and you had better set up a spare bedroom, because I plan on visiting a lot!”

You chuckle. “Consider it done. In fact, I have…”

You’re interrupted mid sentence as Anna walks in, holding her belly, and a look of panic in her green eyes. “M-master…I think it’s time…”

You blink. “Oh? Oh! Let’s get you to the doctors, Anna! Daigo, we’ll have to talk later!”

Daigo laughs. “Go on, get that girl to the doctor. My granddaughters want to meet their sibling!”

You rush off with Anna. Everything goes according to routine, although Anna struggles a bit more, being so petite. In the end, the doctors hand her a healthy baby boy, hairless and crying. As soon as Anna takes hold, he stops crying, his green eyes finding hers. Anna smiles, tears on her cheeks as she whispers to him. “Hello Nicholas.”

You smile, hugging her and your new son. Anna sighs, smiling at Nicholas. “He’s perfect. I’m so happy. I love you, Josh. We have a son. Together.”

You nod. “We do. I love you too, Anna. And now Nicholas.”
