Sal's Universe, (still) Las Vegas, Nevada. Morning after wedding.

[fire-in-flight.livejournal.com]

She growled at the sunlight that was peeking through the curtains and hitting her face just-so, and groaned, stretching her arms out and swearing vengeance on the blinds for not doing their job and convincing her that it was still dark outside.

Surely it wasn't the morning already? She felt like she'd just gotten to sleep.

And then she remembered what had happened the evening before and sat up straight, examining her left hand. Yes, the new ring was still there. She saw the remains of the mammoth lobster still sitting on the bedside table.

Okay. I didn't dream all of that. She smiled widely and flopped back down into the (very fluffy, very squishy, and so comfortable it felt illegal) pillows, turning to her left side and smiling at the man who was surveying her with a look of amusement.

"Good morning," she said, propping her head up with her hand as she looked down at Kurt. "I woke ye up, didn' I?"

One big eye peeked at her, then disapeared again as the little one's soft black curls fell forward in her hiding.

"Wolfen," said Kurt softly, v-ing the w. "Und she's ours." There was pain in his voice and a hint of anger.

Sal smiled at Wolfen, still holding out her hand. "C'mere, then," she said kindly. "We'll go home and get to know each other, eh?"

She glanced up at Kurt with a helpless expression in her eyes. She had no idea how this child could be theirs, but she felt an attachment already; she was determined to raise little Wolfen as best she could.

She'd done it before - she could do it again.

Kurt took a deep breath, then patted Jabez's arm and tucked the datapad into his backpack before hunkering down to look at the new little girl. "Guten tag, liebling. I... I'm your Vati."

The little one peeked at him, then looked at Sal and examined her shyly. "Mamma?"

Sal smiled. "Yes, b'y."

Kurt felt his throat constrict at the look of delight on the little girl's face as one lean little hand reached shyly toward Sal. -Ach, Vader Got, helf mir, bitte.-

Sal's smile only got wider as the little girl stepped toward her. "Well, ain't you just the cutest thing."

A shy smile in return, then Sal nearly found herself on her butt as Wolfen threw herself at her and wrapped very warm arms around her neck.

She giggled and returned Wolfen's hug, straightening up so that she was lifting the little girl. It was slightly awkward as she tried to avoid her new daughter's wings, but she managed okay.

Sal stood there, trying once again not to cry.

Kurt gently folded the little one's wings against her back, feeling as though he were going to weep. "Ach. Ve should get them home. Is Jeimu there?"

-Well, well, well. If it isn't the happy couple. Need a ticket back to the Rock?-

[random_xtras]

"Ja, bitte," he said wearily, putting an arm around Jabez's shoulders and resting a hand on Wolfen's back as she cuddled Sal.

-No prob.-

The air in front of all of them shimmered.

-Step through and be on your way. You're all lucky you caught me before I had to leave for my EVA.-

[random_xtras]

-Ja.- Kurt guided his family through. -Danke.-

[teh-rest.livejournal.com]

-Glad I could be of service. Oh, and Kurt?-
