And thank you for being accepting of this. Of her.

And neither will X’Zavier. Let the past stay where it is.

I couldn’t agree more.

( she presses a kiss to mariah’s forehead, smiling when the baby grasps her finger. she thought the news of thomas having a daughter would hurt her, but sitting in front of the fireplace in the living room, one hand on the back of her neck and one hand on mariah’s back while the baby smiles up at her, she can’t help but feel like this is a good thing. ) Welcome to the family, sweet girl. I’m glad you could make it.

( he slips a hand to the back of rosalie’s neck, pressing a gentle, loving kiss to her forehead. ) And I’m not deserving of any of them.

               You have no idea how much this means to me. Thank you.

   Just promise me that you will take care of my daughter.

But it is my business, isn’t it? Just as my relationship with X’Zavier is yours. He has the potential to compromise your brother’s happiness. And her mother has the potential to compromise my sister’s.

There is no reason to fear. My relationship with her mother was brief, and ended for good reason. I can assure you, she will never be a problem.

Oh, she’s so little. Hi, baby.

( he watches the two with a soft smile. being a father is strange, and something he didn’t quite prepare for. but it makes him happy, having a daughter. it’s not something he’d ever give up. )
