Creatures of the Dark

"You can do, remember I had no nausea with Lily, but Hayden had a lot." Alice told her.

"It's not just that though... I feel completely out of it. Totally run down, I don't want to do anything more than just lay here," she admitted softly.

"At the moment, that can be normal." Alice told her, patting the bed. "Come on, come and sit with us."

Ana looked Stefan being going to sit with the girls.

Alice looked at her. "Don't worry about anything, we will all help you both manage this."

She nodded slightly. "Thanks."

She smiled softly.

She leaned against Stephan heavily.

He slid his arms around her.

Ana slowly made herself a cup of tea trying to be quiet and not wake anyone up.

Alice came Downstairs carrying lily who had woken up with a temperature.

She turned around when she heard someone and frowned a bit. "Sorry... I hope I didn't wake you..."

"No you didn't," Alice told her. "She's not very well at the moment."

"No? What's the matter?" she asked quietly walking over.

"Just a bit of a temperature."

"Poor thing.."

She smiled. Softly. "She'll be okay."

"May I hold her?" she asked quietly.

"Of course."

She smiled bright, carefully taking the baby into her arms.

Alice watched her and she smiled softly.

"She's so lovely," she whispered, cradling the baby against her chest and rocking ever so gently.

Alice smiled. "She is."

Ana smiled, passing her back to Alice after a few moments.

Alice held her daughter. "Soon it will be your turn."
