I’ve been thinking about the baby AU for our babies all day now. Ugh. I still can’t get over how perfect it is. Rolling along with that idea: can you imagine if Aurelius was told that her body would never be strong enough to carry any children to term, but somehow she managed to scrape her way through and ended up with her own set of precious twins?
Ugh, and Nat. Margarita would be the literal embodiment of her happiness. Mainly because when Nat looks at her daughter, she sees two things that she wanted with a ferocity that almost ruined her: Eli, and eyes that are free of the torture that they had both endured. Nat always thought seeing Eli for the first time was the only glimpse of redemption she would ever receive, but Margarita would help Nat realize that she doesn’t have to join her family in the after life to be free.
