Re: Baby, don't ever look back...
The baby was beautiful and healthy and that was all a midwife could ask for. Thea waited for the afterbirth to come before she cleaned up the area as much as she could before visitors arrived. She congratulated the queen once again before she made her exit.
"Loki," she said, surprise evident in her tone, as she took in the sight of the darker haired god. She offered him a wan smile when he inquired about Zap and the new princess. "Mother and baby are very well," she answered, her smile growing bigger, to try and put him at ease a little.
Her eyes searched his face and she smirked at his concern. ""It did take quite a while this time but, yes, but it was nothing out the ordinary." Deliveries were never the same and what some would call 'textbook.' "I am well," she said, offering another, smaller smile. "Just a little tired."
