Robert is pacing back and forth in front of the operation room of st.Mungo. In the operation room, his wife is giving birth to their daughter. He is worried about his wife. He always told his wife that it's okay not to have an heir. However, his wife always wanted children. She wanted it and she got it. Her body is too weak to bear a child, but she did it anyway. This makes Robert to lose his mind.
After what feels like an eternity, the healers come out with sorrowful faces. The head healer comes to him while carrying Robert's daughter. As a gesture of the bad news, the head-healer shook his head. He said the news that he wished that he won't ever hear it. All he could think is that his world is breaking apart. He has to be strong for his daughter who just arrive to this world today. She just born and her mother isn't here anymore. How will he tell his daughter about her mother when she asks him about her in the future? He lost his wife but at least he had the chance to know her and spent times with her. However, his daughter doesn't even have the chance to know and see her mother when she doesn't know the word mother yet.
His daughter is really a beautiful baby. She got blonde hair from her mother. She is exactly a carbon copy of her mother. He looked at his daughter who is so sweet and fragile little thing. His daughter gripped his thumb with her tiny fingers, a gesture that melts his heart. Robert composed himself and made a promise to himself that he will be both father and mother for his daughter and he will always choose her. In this life, he lost his beloved, but she left him her a piece of art. He will take care of their daughter no matter what. Even if it means losing his life.
------------------------------
Narcissa is breastfeeding her son who is born two days ago. The healers still don't let her go back to manor yet. Lucius, her husband seems like he is over the moon since he got heir. His son is really similar to his father. But she hopes her son got a beautiful heart not like his father. Of course, she loves her husband but her husband personality towards other people stressed her out sometimes.
Lucius is looking at his wife and son with love. He kissed his wife's forehead and said "Thank you for bringing a handsome boy to this world. Thank you for not leaving me" He thanks his wife repeatedly. He was worried to dead about his wife. He heard that giving birth a child is really painful and dangerous. He promised himself that never say about having another child again.
Lucius is also waiting for the news of his friend Robert whose wife is giving birth. Crescent Ivory Blackwood who is the wife of Robert Lewis Blackwood have been Narcissa's best friend since their childhood. Narcissa and Crescent made a promise that Narcissa will be Crescent's child godmother and vice versa. Lucius can tell that his wife is worried about her friend by watching the frown on her face. Narcissa is rocking their son who is sleeping now.
An hour later, Robert entered in their room with a defeated look holding his daughter. "Can you do me a favor?" Robert pleaded.
"We are friends. You don't have to ask me" Lucius pat his friend's shoulder. Robert asked Narcissa "Can you breastfeed my daughter? The healer said I can't give her any chemical milk but a mother's" He paused "Her mother is...Her mom..." Robert doesn't even form the words death.
Narcissa eyes fill with tears upon hearing the words. Her best friend isn't here anymore. She promised her that she will be her son's godmother, but she left us alone. She left her daughter who is just an infant. She looked at her goddaughter who is really looked alike of her mother. Her eyes soften by looking at the child "Of course, why not? She is also my daughter." She took the child. "What is her name?"
Robert said, "Thank you" He is on the verge of losing his mind now. "Cressida" Cressida Blackwood, his daughter, his only daughter whose name means "Can I leave her with you? I have works to do for Crescent" He can't say the word death, the word funeral. He couldn't believe that his wife left him alone. Left him alone with an infant. Robert left the rooms to prepare for his wife funeral. Lucius kissed his wife's cheek before following his friend to help.
Narcissa looked at her goddaughter with a look of love. After breastfeeding the girl, Narcissa put the sleeping girl beside her son. Surprisingly, her 2 days old son held the girl's fingers tightly. She thought it would be a coincidence. So, she tried to part their fingers since she is afraid that the girl will be awake because of her son. However, her son doesn't loosen the gripped. He just holds the girl's fingers more tightly. What Narcissa didn't know is that her son will never let go of the girl beside him, not even his life is in danger.
