Got a daughter named pheadra

[6/27, 21:32] Rick Dnd: "I swear I will break _ALL_ of your bones lady." *As she makes the threat, a sweaty, and panting lady grunts and falls back into her bed.* "I hope the baby has your tiny head Quen, because I doubt.. Hrngggggg..." *Denise drops back into her bed, and begins panting wildly as the midwifes face is becoming paler and paler. Not because of the pregnancy, but because Denise is crushing her hand.* "Gruuuuuughhh. Quen, darling, could you perhaps just perhaps be a dear... this midwife appears to have fainted under my delicate squeeze. I want the baby to be ... Grrrrnnnngll hurgh..." *Huffing noises follow.* [6/27, 21:38] Daan Boer: *Quen* oh Denise darling, the baby will surely look as lovely as you. *while Quen walks up to her and wraps a towel around his hand before he let's Denise squeeze it* [6/27, 21:42] Rick Dnd: *Denise smiles slightly* "too rough? What do you think it'll be? Boy or girl?. I'm so excited hrnnnnnghhh.... *Denise squeezes down hard, the reason why she was the Family's enforcer becoming apparent* So... what... do... *Huff huff squeeze* we ... call... him...or..her? [6/27, 21:45] Daan Boer: *Quen still feeling the power of Denise's hands, even through the towel* I have the perfect name, whether it's a boy or a girl. You just focus on what's ahead darling. [6/27, 21:46] Daan Boer: *thinking: I really shouldn't cross her* [6/27, 21:49] Rick Dnd: Right. Focus... Hrnnnnghh... why is the midwife still passed out! I'll break her gnnnnnrggghh! .... *Huff huff* I'm so glad we're on Lauzea, maybe...hrnnnngh... you should introduce me... *Huff* to your family some day? *Denise focuses her efforts on her breathing after this* [6/27, 21:50] Daan Boer: *while Quen is holding Denise's hands he snarks to the midwife* what kind of midwife faints during delivery. *Casts healing word and bardic inspiration* [6/27, 21:50] Daan Boer: We're all the family that matters [6/27, 21:51] Daan Boer: *he says to Denise* [6/27, 21:51] Gerdien Dnd Westmarches: *The midwife, dressed in Aphrodite priestess clothing, slowly comes back to her senses, and quickly gets up, looking slightly embarassed* [6/27, 21:53] Gerdien Dnd Westmarches: Now breathe, miss Denise. *She says as she fetches a damp cloth, carefully avoiding Denise's hands* [6/27, 21:54] Rick Dnd: *Denise appears to get inspired, and redoubles her efforts.* "I... squeeze... people...for a living. So hrnnnnghhh dont tell... me .. to... squeeze your hand grnnnn again... *She begins the final stages of labour, a mild sweat covering her face as she is fully concentrating on her delivery.* [6/27, 21:58] Gerdien Dnd Westmarches: Alright, now listen to me closely miss Denise. When I say push, push. When I say stop, stop. Wait for it.. wait for it... *She calmly waits until a contraction comes up, then yells* Now push! Go on, go on just a little bit more... now stop! *The baby's head is crowing, and she quickly administers something cold to dull the searing pain.* Alright, go on, gently... gently... There we go! Now wait for the next contraction miss. *She holds the baby's head* [6/27, 21:59] Gerdien Dnd Westmarches: *crowning [6/27, 22:05] Rick Dnd: *Denise groans and pushes a final time, as a baby girl, with fully white hair (albeit none right now), green eyes, pointy ears and a slightly greyish pale skin begins crying, quickly followed by Denises tears of joy.* "We have a baby girl Quen. Isn't she gorgeous?" [6/27, 22:06] Daan Boer: She is beautiful, just like you [6/27, 22:07] Gerdien Dnd Westmarches: *The midwife smiles, happy the girl looks healthy* [6/27, 22:08] Rick Dnd: *Denise laughs* I bet you say that to all the little girlsand their mommas that come to rowdy bars to enjoy a Lauzean ambassador. But.. it's working. What are we going to call her Quen? [6/27, 22:10] Daan Boer: There is only one name that is good enough for her. She will be called with your permission of course... [6/27, 22:11] Rick Dnd: ... *Denise chuckles* I dont want to call her with your permission, but I think you're just creating suspense. What's the name Quen? [6/27, 22:13] Daan Boer: I have been thinking about this for months and I wanted to name her after someone that I hold dear to my heart even niw [6/27, 22:13] Daan Boer: Now [6/27, 22:14] Daan Boer: She was the wife of my first real friend, even after all the shit that he pulled. [6/27, 22:14] Daan Boer: Without them we wouldn't be here now [6/27, 22:15] Rick Dnd: *Denise looks quizzically* Ok. *She holds the baby gingerly, as she is feeding her* It sounds like a great idea to name her after a friend. ... But, who is it? Have I met him and her? [6/27, 22:18] Daan Boer: You have met Viktor and his wife right [6/27, 22:22] Rick Dnd: *Denise thinks a moment* Oh, The Doctor! Yeah, Falmo still Waxes poetic about him. And wasn't Phaedra Gilbee's apprentice? They died right? *Denise smiles softly* Alright. Phaedra. You be a good and strong lady, like the lady who you're named after. But... don't you dare die on us like her! *Denise smiles* Well... Quen, I think... well, I'm gonna take a nap. Birthing babies is hard work. *She has a roguish smile* how 'bout we make a double next time. Saves me a birth. [6/27, 22:22] Daan Boer: If it was a boy I would've called him Viktor, and if it was a girl I would call her Pheadra yes [6/27, 22:25] Gerdien Dnd Westmarches: *The midwife in the background nods with silent approval, and does her job*
