I did. [ it's said with all fondness and amusement. she loves tendo with all her heart and soul, but she really didn't expect him to be any help when she gave birth. pacifism and protective instincts don't really mesh too well, after all.
she yawns, and thanks to the little boy in her arms she can't really cover it up. ] Mm, sorry. I probably feel about ten times as tired as I look. Apparently pushing something the size of a small watermelon out of a very small hole is exhausting work. Who'd've thunk it?
[ oh, yeah. ] At least you didn't have to wait very long. [ she nods in the direction of her daughter who, as expected, has finally dropped off to sleep. ] They had me walk down the entire maternity ward and back because my baby might have been ready, but I wasn't.
[ there aren't many opportunities to talk about what it had been like, young and pregnant and bull-headed enough to see her daughter to term. it takes naomi by surprise, how much this means to her, having someone to reminisce with. ] Did you guys pick a name yet?
[ he's a really cute kid. he even frowns like tendo in his sleep. ]
[ she winces. ] You have my sympathies. That sounds awful. [ and she's suddenly very, very grateful that everything went so quickly for her. and for good pain meds. those are a gift from god.
the little bundle in her arms shifts and she smiles down at her son. he really does look a lot like his daddy when he frowns like that. ] Theodore Cole. We'll call him Teddy for short, I think.
[ sorry, ali. you just go enjoy your pain meds, they are A+. ] It was. A little. Longest walk I ever took, but my sister was there and my parents too, in hindsight I'd never seen my father so frazzled. [ she shakes her head at the memory, rolls her eyes a little. ] He kept on telling me to breathe and I was just, Dad. Come on. Not in the delivery room yet.
[ and wow, suddenly she misses home. ]
Teddy sounds cute. [ it's hard not to get all smiley when around a baby. especially when naomi's own baby hasn't been this tiny in years. her voice goes soft, and not without a little hint of awe. ] You guys are going to be awesome parents, Ali. And Teddy's going to have amazing people to look up to.
