Chapter 8: Lia

Dedication: To the special men in my life. The one who haunts me, the one who completes me and the two who aren't old enough to read this.

Note: There will be no names used for the characters in this story, only the designations: mate/lifemate (LM) and dream lover (DL). If I need a designation for her, I'll let you know what it is when I get to that point.
This story is currently unBetaed but since I Beta for others, I'm not too worried about it.

Archive: Ask before you take.

Chapter 8: Lia

Nine months later, Lia Grace came into the world on the bed in which she was conceived.

Her name was actually Mate's idea. He knew I wanted her middle name to be Grace to honor his mother, Ann, since the name Ann means 'grace'. But I was having a harder time choosing her first name. Finally, apparently tiring of my indecision, he said, 'Lia!' We should name her Lia." And so she was. I later discovered that 'Lia' means 'poetic' which made her name all the more special. 'poetic grace'. Truly a blessing to bestow on a child.

After Lia's birth she was cleaned up and wrapped in a soft pink blanket and handed to Mate to hold while the midwife cleaned me up and made me more comfortable. Mate said, "How about I take her to meet the family while you do that?" The midwife and I nodded.

Mate pulled open a drawer in his dresser and removed a furry object. As he shook it out, I could see it was a blanket and wondered, as he tucked it around the baby, why it looked familiar.

We had recently gotten several fur pillows but, as far as I knew, we didn't have a fur blanket. In fact, the only one I'd ever 'seen' was the one from my dream all those months ago---a dream I had never shared with Mate.

Mate carried fur-wrapped Lia past me and out the door of our room. As they passed me, I recognized an odd little misshapen area in the edging of the fur. I could remember feeling it with my fingers in my dream when Mate held my hands as DL slowly made love to me.

It was a dream, wasn't it?


Wasn't it?!

Well, this is the end. I hope you all liked it. I especially liked this last chapter. I wish I didn’t have to end it, I want to know more. But the unanswered questions should be answered in the companion story. Stardreamer, my MMB (male mind beta) is slowly working on the companion story—this story and the events leading up to it from Mate’s point of view. I told him I was curious to know what Mate was thinking while watching her dreamlover make love to his mate and I thought it would make an interesting companion story. I can’t wait to read it, from the tidbits he’s let me read, it’s going to be good. Let me know a way to contact you and I’ll tell you when he starts posting it, though it may be a while. He currently has several other stories in progress as well as this one.

A special thank you to those of you who have reviewed. It’s been fun finding out what you’ve thought of this little story.

I’m currently working on my next story. It’s a sweet little fairytale type story with a prince and a princess. I’ll start posting it when I’m done writing it. At two and a half chapters, it’s already longer than this whole story combined!
