[ a tiny furrow crops up between her eyebrows, but that seems to be the only indication that she's upset. too busy being in love with her daughter to mind. it's not pressing, and maybe as soon as he can will get him there for myri's birth, which she knows her friend would appreciate. ]

That's fine, I'm not going anywhere. [ she's completely dumbstuck by this tiny creature, but finally she lifts her head to look between elena and felicity, mouthing "thank you" at them both before her gaze drops back to the baby. ]

Your daddy would have loved you, Lucia.

[the good thing about a NINETEEN HOUR LABOR is at least it gives your friend who lives overseas some time to get his ass over here. he probably had to rush here from the airport, but WHATEVER HE IS HERE NOW. And he isn't gonna make any Great Pumpkin jokes, because he occasionally has tact, you bitches.

so here he is, one hand on the doorframe of her room, looking a little bewildered, so that's probably because BABY??? and less because the child looks like Starfire.] Well. Look at that.

[Turning at the sound of Des' voice, Myri smiles and waddles (because she's so fucking pregnant at this point) over to him, taking his hand and tugging him further into the room so that he can get a better look at the new arrival.]

Come say hello.

[graveflowers]

[ vi is grateful myri collects des, because if gives her a little time to collect herself, wiping her eyes and using the tears that have dripped on to lucia's cheeks to draw a little cross on her forehead and lips, murmuring a roman prayer as she does so, blessing her own child. sorry, little thing, didn't mean to rain on your birthday, but now it's a blessing to ward off the evil eye?

multitasking at it's finest. ]

You don't get to pick the nickname for this one, old man.

[nothingsodivine]

So I can't affectionately call her "pumpkin?" [HE'S JOKING??? MAYBE. Probably not.] Duly noted.

[graveflowers]

[ you know when someone keeps smiling but you're 100% sure they will rip you throat out with their bare hands? "not unless you want me to prove your mortality" is LOUDLY unspoken.

nineteen hours of labor, des, choose your words carefully right now. ]

[witchwoman]

Oh! [Myri jumps at Des' side and reaches for her phone. She just remembered! Time to pull up Skype and see if Spike has a minute to say hello.]

[graveflowers]

Who are you calling? [ for a moment, vi thinks myri is calling finnick, but when reality crashes down on her again, she is suddenly overwhelmed with wanting the people that can't be there -- luthir, finnick, jade, her parents -- and her eyes drop back to the baby as grief swells in her chest. ]

Actually would you guys mind if I had a little time alone right now?

[ she feels guilty, asking them to leave when they only came to support her, but she knows she needs it, too. it's not as if they can't come back later. ]

[doubletake]

Of course not.

[She speaks up before anyone else can say otherwise. Not that she thinks they will, but you know.]

Take all the time you need.

[She leans in, pressing a kiss to Vi's forehead.]

Good job, Momma. See you later.

[And then she'll head out, taking whoever else wants to come too along with her.]

[allmydreams]

[Felicity will squeeze Vi's shoulder in return, before nodding and following Elena out as well. Vi has been through a lot to get here and she doesn't blame her for wanting some alone time with her daughter.]

[shootfirst]

Alright, Peanut Gallery, you heard the lady. [ kat will take to actively shoving people towards the door who want to linger. VI WANTS PRIVATE TIME SHE WILL GET IT ]
