The Town Plaza [2]

Halee

It soon wears off and I yawn, looking at him, "Can we hold him?"

Lucian

I glance at Blithe and think, "I-I don't know. I'll go ask."

Halee

I nod and watch him walk out.

Lucian

I get the okay and head back in the room, opening the incubator and scooping Blithe up. Smiling at him, I sit at Halee's side and hand him over.

Halee

I smile and hesitate before taking Blithe in my arms, smiling, "Hello there."

Lucian

I smile and watch, amazed that this is all real still.

Halee

Curious to see what color eyes he has, I just wait until he opens them. A hazel. I don't realize I'm crying until I feel the years slip down my cheek. I swear in a whisper and wipe it away.

Lucian

She wipes a tear away and I flash a smile, taking her hand.

Halee

I look up from my baby and to Luce, "Want to hold him?"

Lucian

I smile and nod, "Yeah."

Halee

I nod and hand him over.

Lucian

I smile and take Blithe in my arms, unable to take my eyes off of him.

Halee

I smile and sigh, watching them.

Lucian

I smile wider and glance up at Halee, scooting closer.

Halee

He scoots closer and I smile, looking over our baby boy.
