[One bedroom whose door is usually shut tight has been in a constant flurry of activity through most of the day; mainly just nameless nurses running in and out, and retrieving fresh blankets and towels, and even a pitcher of water.]

[And finally, now sometime in the wee hours in the morning, the last nurse has finally left, and there's a chance to

[Coming back after splashing water on her face. She enters quietly, not wanting to wake her or the baby up, just to check up on her.]

[lastnightswish]

[Cracks one eye open, and, for a moment looks surprised to feel the weight tucked beneath her chin. She uses a free hand to rub the bridge of her nose.]

... time is it?

[beautiful_alias]

[She's refilling the glass of water by Kanda's bedside, making sure to make the least amount of noise possible.] It's one in the morning.

[lastnightswish]

Feels like it's later than that.

[fjakdlfj what's she supposed to do with this thing, anyway? She wants to move it, but she's afraid of waking her up.] You should sleep.

[beautifulalias]

It always does.

[She stops and looks back at her with a small smile.] I will, soon. I think you need it more than I do.

[lastnightswish]

Not with her... ["Laying on me." But instead of finishing that sentence, she just frowns. D-doesn't want to wake her up >:]

[beautiful_alias]

[Blinks.] ... Would you like me to take her?

[lastnightswish]

[Nods. Except. Laviko will notice, once she moves to come and lift her, that Kanda's going to stop her. Can't. She doesn't want to let the little one go just yet.]

[This is so confusing.]

[beautifulalias]

[She pauses, before smiling again. She understands.]

I couldn't let go of Jonathan either after he was born.

[lastnightswish]

[Going to sit down in a chair?]

... he was this small?

[beautifulalias]

[Yes. Folds her hands in her lap.]

Of course. After a few weeks to a month she'll start to get bigger, no worry there.

[lastnightswish]

... she's going to be blind.

[Her eyes are so unfocused >: Kanda's not used to it. I-is that worry on her face? Why yes, yes it is.]

[beautiful_alias]

[She gets up at that and turns the baby a little her way. Snaps her fingers in Aya's face and smiles when she blinks.]

She'll be fine.

[lastnightswish]

[Frooowning at that. Did you have to do that to her? >:|]

[But, Aya blinked, and that's all that matters. She looks at Laviko for a moment before shifting the newborn toward her. Want to hold her? You're probably the only one she'd allow.]

[beautifulalias]

[Yes C:

At that Lavi pauses. Are you sure? Well... She takes her very carefully, cooing softly as she sits back down.] Hey there, pretty girl...

[lastnightswish]

[She's sure. Kanda shifts a little to sit up some more on the bed, and reaches up to pull her hair into a floppy bun.]

[If there was ever a newborn capable of managing a sarcastic look, it isn't surprising that it would be one of Kanda's. Or maybe it's just a frowny look. But Aya blinks blearily up at Laviko again, scrunching her face.]

[No crying, just comical expressions for the moment.]
