Damien was the first to rememberLaying quiet and shivering on the warm stone. As Christof rocked the baby the rest hurriedly fixedup. Apparently this delivery had been tougher than last time. I had a tear.
The placenta was delivered just as the Healers arrived. These new men marveled at the warm mass of flesh that had been inside of me. They would not have believed it cfrom where it did.
“Could we take it?” the lead Healer asked.

The Healers also had a powerful cream they applied with gloves to my insides and over my stomach to help with healing. I felt myself literally tighten up as it was spread around.
The room was suddenly split with an earth shattering wail. Kennedy had been quiet, but now she was thirsty. Damien carefully removed their crest from my nipples and pocketed the little metal pieces
Christof handedour daughter and the Healers watched entranced as I fed her for the first time. She had trouble latching on and it took several minutes of trial and error for her to take her first gulp of milk. Kein shooed the men out when they wanted a sample of that also.
“It is for the female child only,” he said literally pushing them from the room. “Leave them alone now. Your job is done and they must rest.”
Bane liftedand my daughter off the warm slab and walked us to the bed. She watched him with wide eyes but never stopped feeding. It almost seemed toshe wanted to smile at him.

Once I was settled on several pillows and nursing comfortably, Christof spoke gently.
“What do we call her?” he asked sitting beside us and stroking her cheek.
I had thought of names, but seeing the little girl decided me. This probably should have been a task I shared with her father, but I knew Christof would not know how to na child.
“I would like to call her Kennedy,” I told him looking down at her. “It is the nof a powerful family on Earth.”

After a nap the men pulled Kennedy andinto the bathing room. They had filled the tub with warm water and helpedstep into it. Christof carried our little girl in for her first bath.
Kennedy was as enamored with the water as Hannah had been. She touched at it and giggled as it moved under her hand. Our little girl quietly told Christof many of the things she knew about water. He Listened to her and praised her, which made her smile broadly.
Christof held Kennedy while Bane and Kein used soft strokes to wash her tiny body. Gentle fingers cleaned every nook on the baby. Their touch was so soothing she fell asleep on Christof as Kein washed her wings.
Damien and Evan rubbedin the water until I felt as relaxed as my baby daughter. Both of us were unbelievably pampered. I looked into Evan’s bright eyes and saw an excitement I did not expect. He grinned broadly and looked around.
“We won,” he whispered tosuddenly.
He looked animated and so did Damien. Bane was grinning ear to ear and nudging Kein. I could see the strain on their faces. They looked triumphant, Like they wanted to yell and shout. The men were reigning in their celebration around the sleeping infant.
“I’m sorry, my loves,” I finally admitted. “I don’t know what you’re so happy about, but congratulations.”
