Sparks’ First Solstice

It was a quiet Winter Solstice Eve. Vesta had parked herself on a beautiful meadow, which had become a winter wonderland. The kids had made snowmen, and enjoyed snow ball fights. But the most magical sight had to be the twins seeing snow for the first time. They were only a few months old, but their first Winter Solstice was already here.

Orianna, and Missy were sitting side, by side; wrapping their gifts while the children were fast asleep. They’d briefly share affectionate kisses as they got through their task, in front of the fire. This was the happy place, and had been since they’d moved into Missy’s TARDIS. There were already plenty of happy memories in this room. Where once it had been simply, but tastefully decorated; it was now filled with children’s artwork, and family photos. There was even one of the day the twins had been born.

Orianna looked over at her wife, and her hearts melted. She was so lucky to have Missy. The Time Lady turned to her with a knowing smile. She’d felt Orianna’s emotions through their bond.

“Love you too, hjarteya.”

Missy leaned forward, sweetly kissing her wife. The pair had just finished the twins’ gifts, when Vesta let Missy, and Orianna hear their daughters crying. Missy sighed.

“They’ll want to be fed.”

Orianna chuckled, and rubbed her wife’s back.

“You get comfortable, Ne Sarrill. I’ll get our little mischief makers.”

She got up, and dashed out of the room. Orianna moved through the corridors with barely a thought as to where she was going. The gods knew she’d taken this path enough. Upon entering the nursery, she smiled and went to her babies’ crib. The crib was large, and meant for the little ones to be able to sleep together. Two of Ben’s hand made mobiles hung above it. The girls were whimpering now, and Orianna picked them up. As the months had gone on, she’d gotten used to handling two babies at once.

“Hello darlings. Is it time for dinner now? Come on. Let’s go find Mummy.”

The baby girls cooed at their Mama as she walked them back through the corridors to the living area. Both had snuggled into her, and rubbing at her chest. It was clear they were hungry.

Orianna found Missy back in the living. The Time Lady had taken the liberty of preparing herself for the twins to breastfeed. Orianna helped her wife with getting the twins into place, and then sat on the arm of the chair. She leaned down, and encircled her family in her arms.

“This Solstice is going to be perfect,” Orianna whispered.

Missy turned her head, and kissed her wife’s cheek.

“It already is.”

For @ineedmyfriendback / @thelibraryismytardis. Happy Birthday KC! I hope you have an amazing day. Here’s a little something from me, and my Hellion.

Morning Greetings

Orianna woke up before Missy. As was the usual now, she was playing the big spoon. As Missy’s pregnancy had progressed; their usual sleeping positions, had become uncomfortable. Orianna had one hand between Missy’s shoulder blades, and the other on her belly.

She could feel the twins moving underneath her hand, and smiled. The movements were small. Her little ones were probably sleeping too. Orianna gently rubbed her wife’s bump.

“Morning darlings,” she whispered.

Ever since they’d found out about the twins, Orianna had been so excited. They’d been a bit of a surprise, sure, but they’d been a welcome one.

“We’re one day closer to meeting you. Your Mummy and I, are so excited to meet you. To hold you, and raise you. You’re going to know you’re loved. Thank you, for letting your Mummy sleep. She needs it, so she can help you grow big, and strong.”

She let her whispered words linger for a moment. Sometimes she really enjoyed these quiet moments. She could hear someone rustling around in the TARDIS. Probably Xia at this time of the morning. Orianna heard Missy grumble in her sleep. She chuckled, and leaned over, kissing Missy’s cheek.

“Go back to sleep, Love,” she murmured.

She gave her wife’s baby bump one last loving rub.

“See you when Mummy gets up, darlings.”
