“Quit worrying, Snow, we know she’ll be alright,” Baz watched as his husband paced around the waiting room, his hands tugging on his curls, messing them up even further.
“But what if she won’t be alright,” His face was twisted in worry, brows furrowed and a scrunched up nose. It was actually pretty adorable. Not that Baz would voice that out loud.
“Simon, you know she’ll be-“
“Penelope Bunce?” Baz was cut off by a nurse, who motioned for them to step into the room. Simon walked quickly over to Baz and laced their fingers together tightly.
Simon’s palm was sweaty against his own, Baz didn’t let go. Together they hesitantly entered the room.
Penelope lay on the hospital bed, a small bundle cradled in the crook of her arm. Micah stood next to her, grinning proudly at his wife. Penelope smiled once at the bundle, before passing it to her husband. Micah wordlessly walked over to them both, and handed the child over to Baz.
“He has your eyes,” Micah spoke to Simon. Baz didn’t have to look to know that Simon’s eyes had welled with tears.
“Natasha,” Baz whispered, running a finger down their daughter’s nose. Simon let his head rest on Baz’s shoulder as they stared at their daughter.
“Your nose,” Simon murmured softly. “And your mouth” Baz hummed in agreement.
“Your curls” Baz whispered, indeed a small curl had freed itself from the swaddle of blankets, not unlike Simon’s own, in every way but one.
“But your color,” Simon twirled the black curl around his pinky finger, and let it bounce back up as he let it go. Still holding Natasha securely in one arm, Baz wrapped his other around Simon’s waist, pulling the two people he loves most into his arms.
“Thank you, Pen- I- thank you,” Simon choked out. Penny beamed at the pair.
“Just don’t count on me for the next one,” she said, and Simon let out a breathless chuckle.
A certain potion, once given, allowed a surrogate to birth the child of two different individuals, yet required a bond between the two- so much so that their love could bring about a way of new life
