Chapter 634 - A Mother’s Thoughts 2
-----
(Benladann"s POV II)
It was very hard to get her out, but it was worth it, all the pain, all the difficulties, and being near death several times… I was happy to see her in my arms, as I smiled warmly at her beautiful face, at those shiny silvery-white eyes, her short hair, her pale blue skin, and those shiny metallic scales around her arms, legs, and covering her tiny dragon tail. She even had two beautiful white horns that seemed to be made out of diamonds. By everything in this world, this girl was beautiful.
I am glad I was able to see her at long last, and I am still glad to see her every day, she had become my sun, every day she illuminates my day alongside Drake. Those two are my reason to live, the people I love the most in all my life.
Even if I had died… I guess I would had been fine with that, giving birth really made my life have a whole new meaning, I guess this is what it feels like to be a mother, at long last? Giving birth to new life, to a descendant… I guess this is, by essence, one of the reasons we live, so we can bring new life as well.
It might seem weird coming from a total klutz like me, but reproduction is something quite transcendental… I guess.
And now that I got my baby girl here, I can"t stop but being fascinated by her.
Ah, even with the difficulties that came with her, I am still doing my best to adapt to her antics.
We named our girl as Benladra because it was a nice sounding name that combined Benladann and Drake together. It sounds okay to me, and we also kept the tradition of making names out of the two halves of the names from their parents.
In our tribes, our names often mean two things, and when a child is born, we combine one part of the two meanings of our names to make a new combination of two meanings together.
This is how we pa.s.s down our names to the next generations… I suppose. Although most of the time, it is the mother"s name part that goes first and the father afterwards for the first child, if we ever have a second, we do it the other way around.
Maybe I could have another child with Drake in the future, it doesn"t sound so bad, being a mommy is something that makes me happy despite the difficulties, dreaming of having a big family with many daughters and sons really makes me happy, it even makes me look forward to such a life.
But we have to be prudent and raise this baby girl before anything else first. And well, it had been a h.e.l.l of a month since she was born! Benladra really gives us a lot of work.
But that"s what a parent is all about. We had to change her diapers constantly, most of the time up to three or four times a day. And each time we also have to wash her down and clean her, so it is extra work.
Sometimes she would begin crying because she wants something. Sometimes it is not even because she"s hungry, nor sleepy, she just wants something we don"t understand, and it is quite frustrating.
And other times she"s really hungry and drinks milk… Ah, no, that"s cute, she really relaxes in those parts and even ends up napping, only to p.o.o.p herself out of how relaxed she is.
Yeah, life with a baby is indeed filled with its challenges. And p.o.o.py diapers are not really that bad… I-I mean, we got used to it already after a month, although it still causes some feeling of… Uegh. But we do it for our beloved daughter, cleaning her p.o.o.py diapers is no problem for parents that love their daughter more than anything in the world!
Sigh… Benladra is not really a normal girl though, she"s very shy with people. Every time there is somebody else showing up, she would begin to cry until we were forced to back away, which in exchange had made us distance ourselves from our friends for the time being until the little girl could get used to the people.
But it is not all bad, in fact all those bad things are instantly canceled out the moment we think that we love her, she"s our daughter, and we"ll simply do anything for her. These problems and all… they"re really nothing against the undying love of a parent, and I, as her mother, will never ever stop loving her, no matter what she does.
The unconditional love of a mother is endless after all! It goes through all sorts of barriers, and it has no end! I will always, forever love my daughter! I will never stop loving her!
Even she does crazy stuff with her powers and magic…
Hahh… S-She almost hit somebody when she unleashed that breath attack the other day, I was really scared and worried, but it seems that she didn"t, thankfully.
And well, she awakened her dragon breath in the craziest way possible, and ended making a large hole on Fuyu, who is incredibly resilient at that. This only shows how strong her breath attack is, which was more like a ma.s.sive beam of bright white and yellow light than anything else.
It is indeed quite amazing what my daughter is truly capable of, and I am quite proud of her, to be honest, I am a proud mother… But it still dangerous, so Drake and I decided to tell her to try to not unleash her powers.
She was very scared of them as well, so she seemed to understand… However, the other day she ended using ice magic just to catch a little b.u.t.terfly, which caused a large commotion all around her, freezing a lot, since then that Drake "sealed" her ice magic, which seems to be the deadliest of the bunch she has.
But well, it isn"t as if he was able to seal the other magic elements that she has…
