*Liam's eyes fluttered shut and he let out a soft baby yawn.*
*Micaela grinned, stood up, and moved towards the door.*
"Just put him down once he's asleep." *She slipped out to go do something else.*

*He smiled and nodded, his attention focused on the baby.*

*He snuggled his head into Maxim's shoulder.*
"Dada." *He said contentedly.*

*Liam sat in the library, snuggled against the side of Finn, who was sleeping. He was holding a children's book upside down and speaking in babytalk as if he was reading aloud to the dog.*
*Micaela sat in an armchair, reading a novel and keeping half an eye on Liam.*

*Pina entered the library, in search of something new to read. She hadn't expected to see anyone else there.*
"Oh, I'm sorry."

*Micaela looked up and smiled.*
"Oh, it's fine. If I can read through him I can read through anything." *She motioned to her son, who was narrating loudly and animatedly, even though he wasn't actually reading.*
*Micaela vaguely noted that she didn't know whether Pina had met Liam yet.*
"Pina, have you met my son? I think the last time I saw you I was pregnant."

"Er, no, I haven't."

"Liam, sweetie, come here." *Said Micaela. Glad for the attention, he stood unsteadily and toddled up to Micaela. She picked him up and placed him in her lap, turning him to face Pina.* "Liam, this is Pina, Auntie Megan's daughter. Can you say hi?"
*Liam grinned toothily. When Liam smiled, his big blue eyes lit up and two dimples formed on either side of his face.* "Hi Pina!" *He waved enthusiastically.*
"Pina, this is Lionel William James Norrington de Winter... otherwise known as Liam." *She was smiling proudly this whole time. It was obvious she loved her son very much.*

"Hello, Liam," *she said awkwardly, unsure about how to act around a baby.*
"He's a very pretty baby."

*Micaela smiled and Liam reached his arms out.*
"Up!"
*Micaela chuckled at him.* "I think he wants you to hold him."

"Oh, I-"
*She looked highly uncomfortable.*
"I haven't ever held a baby..."

*She smiled encouragingly.*
"Don't worry... he's at an age where he's easy to hold." *She stood and held him against her hip. He held on tightly as she stood, but then reached out at Pina again.* "Up!"
*Micaela wasn't much taller than Pina at this point. In fact, she had the sneaking suspicion that, out of her heels, she was shorter.*

"Oh, well I guess..."
*She gingerly took the baby, as if afraid she was going to break him.*

*He began speaking animatedly at her, smiling all the time.*

*She laughed nervously and did her best to look interested.*
