Iria found that hir muscles had managed to tense themselves up when shi wasn't paying too much attention, but when Ceren spoke and condoned hir plan, shi relaxed all at once with a grateful breath of air. Shi leaned into hir love's kiss, eyes closing for a few seconds before shi pulled hirself back together. Just because the decision had been made, it didn't mean that shi would relax all the way - if nothing else, shi would need to gather together the servants who had attended the birth and helped hir through the difficult process, and make sure that they knew, for certain, that shi had given birth to two daughters this day.
"I don't know anyone myself, but my mother would probably have the proper contacts for the services of a discreet doctor."[/color] There were even a few Yarrow women who had trained in Corvistowne for just such surgeries, though they hid that particular skill behind general medical knowledge. "If we were to send her a sealed notice asking for her help on this, I'm sure that she would made sure that our daughter's...problem, was dealt with quickly and accordingly." Some part of hir felt horrifically childish, running to hir mother for help, but the rest of hir assured hir that there was no need for that feeling. It wasn't running to hir mother; it was using a contact who already had useful information that shi could use.
For that matter, it might not be a bad idea to sent their little Two of Diamonds to the woman, because the Suits knew that if shi did that, the girl would return to the Courts with a much higher, far more appropriate rank. The Yarrow King would encourage her granddaughter's ambition, which Iria didn't doubt she had inherited from Ceren, until the girl wouldn't want to return until she found herself acceptable. Their Jack-daughter was far luckier, though neither of them would allow her to slack off either.
"Names!"[/color] shi suddenly realized, the exclamation failing to bother the cheetah kitten in the least. "We never...we never discussed names for them, did we?"[/color] shi added, far softer now as shi looked over hir daughters.

Ceren's thoughts were, interestingly enough, much the same. No one needed to know exactly what had happened, and it would be much easier on their daughter if they didn't. Ceren made a mental note to herself to get in contact with Iria's mother as soon as possible. With a situation like this, it would be best if it was delt with sooner rather than later. Situations could balloon out of hand swiftly. She kissed the cheetah again, giving hir a reassuring smile. "I will handle it as soon as possible, my love.[/b]" she said, gently touching the other woman's cheek. "I wouldn't want our daughter to have to live with it for any longer than was absolutely required.[/b]"
So saying, she looked to both children once more, and couldn't help but smile delightedly. They were squirming and uncoordinated and absolutely perfect. Her parents would be so proud of her and the life that she had helped to bring into this world. The mixed breed sneezed, and Ceren couldn't help but laugh softly, reaching down to tickle under her chin, delighting at every chirp and purr that the two made. She had often prided herself on her ability to keep her emotions under control, but she was absolutely melting.
Iria's words drew Ceren out of her little world, and she blinked with the realization. She laughed softly, shaking her head. "We didn't! I can't believe that it skipped my mind completely... I spent the whole time just wondering what they'd be like.[/b]" Under her feathers, she blushed slightly. "What are your thoughts..?[/b]"

Everything would be okay. It really would. Iria could rest safe and sound, because shi knew that hir dear Ceren would make sure that everything was firmly resolved and taken care of. Their daughters would be the most beautiful little things in the Court, especially once hir mother had managed to help the one raise her rank. Then Iria knew that life would be...perfect. Astoundingly, amazingly perfect. Shi had never imagined that something like this would happen to hir, because shi had always been brought up with hir rank in mind. But like this? Yes. Hir first love had been the love of a child for someone that shi wanted to be like, and while shi would never have the sheer, brute force of personality that Avdotya had wielded, it didn't matter. Shi had hir beautiful, wonderful Ceren, and their daughters, and that was enough for hir.
Shi was also, shi reflected with amusement, becoming amazingly sappy lately. Iria imagined that it might have something to do with having fallen in love.
"Names...?"[/color] shi said wonderingly, brushing a tender hand over fur. "How about...Aliyah for our first born. Kaeisha for our second?"[/color] Shi looked up into Ceren's eyes to see if hir love approved of the choices - they hadn't even begun discussing names, but something about these felt...right. That was the only way shi could put it.

Ceren could feel her love's relaxing, and she leaned in, using her beak to very softly preen the woman's soft and short fur. It was a motion that had no purpose other than to be closer to hir, to help sooth both of their nerves. Sometimes, it was hard to recognize that everything would turn out, especially when the image of her father's face was floating in her head. She didn't know exactly what he would say if he learned of her decision, but she had a very good idea that it wouldn't be kind. It was easy to ignore the thought as she looked at her love and their beautiful children.
Besides, it was her life now, and he would never know of her daughter's birth defect. The girl would lead a happier life without it, she was sure of that. She smiled as she watched the two, considering the names with a musical hum. The cheetah-sparrow hybrid was nestling close to her sister already, pressing a beak in close and letting out a quiet little chirp as the warmth surrounded her, falling quite easily into the deep sleep that was so unique to children and infants.
"They sound... Perfect.[/b]" Ceren commented, meeting Iria's gaze and smiling. She was a wreck when it came to holding up her front of strength. She supposed it all had something to do with being a new father, and having a family of her own now. And such an amazing family it was! "What do they mean, my love?[/b]"

Iria wondered if this was what hir parents had felt when they first held hir in their arms - her powerful King-mother, and her tender Jack-father, with hir, miraculously born a Queen, and made for them a daughter by the clever hands of science and a slight touch of magic. Shi might even see if shi could get the same pair who had done hir surgery to do the operation for their daughter; they'd been a mated pair, Corvistownean and Yarrow Gardens. The skill of the one had enhanced that of the other, and they were rather famous in the Gardens as surgeons and medical providers in general, not just for their little skill to...help the daughters of the Gardens here and there.
The Queen never actually considered the feelings of The Queen of Diamonds - what he didn't know wouldn't hurt him, and he should be honored to have a pair of beautiful granddaughters like these.
"Little Kaeisha,"[/color] shi said softly, petting the blue-and-white fur-and-feathers ever so lightly. "Alive; she who lives. Our beautiful little one."[/color] Then hir hand turned to the mixed-Realm, teasingly tugging at the multi-colored long strands of fur. "And little Aliyah, the high, exalted one, to encourage that ambition of hers."[/color]

"Beautiful,[/b]" the sparrow murmured, putting her forehead against the cheetah's, blue eyes closing slowly. Her heart, which had been so filled with fear hours ago, had calmed - and Ceren felt at peace with the world. Sitting here, with her children and lover safe in her arms... The world seemed right. "Beautiful names for beautiful daughters.[/b]" she beamed down at them, eyes shining with delight.
The woman lifted herself up onto the bed, wrapping her body around her lover's, as close to the Queen as she could be. She had her own family, now, and as a father, she finally understood exactly how precious that really was.
Her voice a little hoarse with emotion, she turned back to Iria, gently stroking the cheetah's cheek and looking the woman in the eyes. "Thank you, my Queen. You have given me the best gift I could ever ask for.[/b]" soon, she would repay Iria's kindness with a gift of her own. She couldn't wait any longer, nor could she ask the Queen to. She would obtain the rank of King, had to, for her life to truely be perfect. "I love you so...[/b]"
((aaand done? <3 unless you want to have a wrapping-up post as well.))
