First Post: 22nd Birthday Post ^_^

[aorin]

Hehe... I was aiming to post up the first entry to my LJ on my birthday. But many things - an outing with friends, dinner party, cake blowing and a traffic jam - was in my way in completing this task. I just hope I managed to make it in time to finish this post before the clock inevitably strikes 12.

Oh, my birthday presents this year are... a few text messages and a bill for dinner which my friend footed on my behalf  ::sighs:: Seems like presents these day are rather immaterial? Also, I've received a truly memorable present from my younger sister.

Well, she did say that money doesn't matter and it was the heart that counts.

Btw, do you know that chinese folks - especially those in my country - tend to celebrate their birthday twice. Once according to the Chinese Lunar calendar, while the other according to the normal calendar. Not that I receive double the presents, but I did get two cakes XD

(Sorry!! Had to repost again because I post it to the wrong reply the first time, and secondly I realized I missed out a paragraph previously)

When Pen heard about this, she was shaken, and that cause her to go into early labour (plus the fact that she was under pressure during her term), and Noah, who shocked to see her in pain, quickly rush her back to the palace. Hours later, a healthy baby boy was born, and both mother and child were safe. Noah was thankful, while Basch, Vaan and Ashe came over to Pen’s room to see the baby and congratulate the exhausted but contented mother.

Now, the midwife informed Pen that the baby should be fed, and Pen insist that she wants to breastfeed the baby herself. Three men – Basch, Vaan and Noah – tried to slink away from the room to give her privacy, only to be halted by the midwife which asked them who is the father of the child. Two accusing fingers point to Noah and the poor Judge stood forward. The midwife then turn back to Pen and ask her if she had any breastfeeding experience beforehand, to which she receives a negative reply. Then, the midwife explained that this might be a problem because it is hard to extract mother’s milk the first time, and though normally that won’t be a problem for a full term baby, it might be difficult for their child, because he is a pre-term baby, and still too weak to suck the milk out from his mother. Her only advice in this is to let the father suck the mother’s nipple until milk starts to flow before feeding the baby.

Vaan was traumatized, Basch was embarrassed, Ashe was blushing (while glancing furtively at Basch), Noah was light-headed and Pen was stunned. After a few moments, Pen politely asked everyone to excuse themselves and for Noah to stay and help. So Basch and Ashe dragged Vaan together with them and left the couple and their baby alone. Embarrassed and awkward – even for Noah whom honestly have never seen Pen nude – they did whatever that had to be done. When Pen breastfeed the baby, Noah sat behind Pen to support her, and they talked about the baby – counting how many fingers, comparing the baby features to themselves. Finally, Noah apologized and asked Pen to give him another chance to take care of her, he understood that there were too many painful ties of the past, but he told her that he loved her (finally!!) and wants a future with her. And it ends with Pen asking Noah, what he would like to name their child, and sealing the deal with a kiss.

And that’s all of it. The end!

Of course, in my own ridiculous mind, I did plot out the sequel of this story which takes place after they both return to Archadia, and more conflict rose when the nosy Archadian spread rumours about the young unwed woman at Gabranth’s household, Noah torn between work and family, Penelo who was learning to adapt to the Archadian ways, and being a parent. Also, when Penelo hears about Drace, Noah’s old flame… I think I should complete ‘LIB’ first before I even consider the sequel XD

This is really great. I can't wait to read it when you've started.

I don't know what else to say, but I look forward to how it all unravels too.

Ok, this part:

Her only advice in this is to let the father suck the mother’s nipple until milk starts to flow before feeding the baby.


(is in a fit of blushing here XD) I can actually see Vaan getting all flustered about it. And poor Basch is all red-faced. Awfully cute.

I can't wait to see you actually write it. I am so shameful! XD

Everything else is really lovely!
