A Babe in Arms

by Drendel

So the day came when we found a place in the woods, and settled in for her baby to come, and she told him she was ready, and he was ready, and the birthing began.

It was a good birthing, neither too easy nor too difficult, and she lay back exhausted and exhilerated and I handed to her Celeglas who I knew perhaps too well. I watched Celee, known as Silverleaf to others, grow quickly from suckling babe, to romping child, to gangly youth. I had to hold my amusement at bay so many times, that this boy would one day be a grown man, and that at that time, I'd take him as my husband, or so I hoped, for I truly beleived he was my Soulmate.
