*Icarus watched her appreciatively for a moment before slipping out of the room and down to the study.*

*Malefica had started cleaning the kitchen when an intense pain burned through her body. She screamed out in pain and sank to the floor, realizing that the birth had started.*

*Icarus rushed back down to the kitchen, blade drawn and ready to face whatever new evil had afflicted Malefica. But he couldn't see anything, just her on the floor. He sank to her side, trying to figure out what was wrong.*
"What is it?!" *His words were urgent.*

*Malefica's body was trembling from the pain, and she clinged to Icarus.*
"Icarus.... I think the baby is coming....."
*A new pain shook her body, and she screamed out again. Her white dress was colored red from her blood.*
"This is happening too fast, Icarus. Help me...."

Wait...what?
*Icarus lifted his hands defensively.*
"Baby? Coming? Now?! How is that even possible?"
*He stared at the blood not having the first notion of what to do.*

"Get some water, and a blanket. The baby will need to get washed, and be wrapped in the blanket afterwards..."
*Malefica screamed out in pain as the labor pain hardened.*
****BIRTH SCENE FADE OUT****

Ew.
*Icarus had disemboweled many things in his time but this...this was gross. The tiny creature in his hands was held away from his body at a good distance. His lip twisted in disgust as she started to cry. He didn't look to Malefica as he spoke.*
"It's displeased. Fix it."

*Malefica lifted up the baby and cradled it in her arms. She beamed with joy and kissed the little creature.*
"Oh, Icarus! She is a girl! Your daughter! Isn't she wonderful?"
*She held the baby close to her, savoring her smell.*
"What do you want to call her, Icarus?"

*His disapproval did not lessen as he watched them together. She seemed puny and weak and not at all worthy of smelling. Ew.*
"I don't care. If your pain is lessened, I'll just leave her to..."
*He stood and started to the door, wiping his hands. At the door he stopped though, half turning back but not meeting her eyes as he spoke softly.*
"Eden. Call her Eden."

*Malefica smiled and caressed the baby.*
"Hi Eden, do you want to look at your daddy?"
*She asked mildly, and turned the baby to Icarus, so he might see her. Malefica came over to Icarus and kissed him.*
"Thank you for the baby, my love. It is the best present you could have given me."

*Icarus frowned and took a step back.*
"It was not intentional. Next time I will try for something more functional, like some silverware."
*He wasn't anyone's 'daddy' no matter how many get he sired. He backed away from both of them.*

*Malefica laughed and cradled the little girl. She tickled her, and made her smile her first smile. A broad toothless grin, that made Malefica melt. The baby held her tiny hand around Malefica's finger.*
"Oh, Icarus! Isn't she adorable?"

*Icarus's eyes narrowed as he observed them together.*
"Clearly we have different definitions of the word. I think that she is rather misshapen."
*Eden's new eyes wandered, taking in the world around her, but paused as they met Icarus's. After a breath, she started to cry.*

*Malefica cradled Eden in her arms and comforted her, caressing her hair and neck and kissing her lovingly.*
"It's ok, sweetie. Mummy is here..." *She said warmly to the child.*
*She lifted her eyes to meet Icarus's.*
"Why is she crying every time she looks at you?"

*Even as the child started to quiet, Icarus snarled.*
"How should I know?"
Perhaps because it can sense that I dislike it.
