*Malefica smiled and rocked the baby gently in her arms as she started singing to calm her down.*
Hush now, my baby Be still love, don't cry Sleep like you're rocked by the stream Sleep and remember My lullaby And I'll be with you when you dream
Drift on a river That flows through my arms Drift as I'm singing to you I see you smiling So peaceful and calm And holding you, I'm smiling, too Here in my arms Safe from all harm Holding you, I'm smiling, too
Hush now, my baby Be still, love, don't cry Sleep like you're rocked by the stream Sleep and remember this river lullaby And I'll be with you when you dream I'll be with you when you dream

*Icarus cringed, turning back to the door. He touched the wall as he stood in the frame and a crib manifested against it. He needed to be elsewhere. Nodding to her and the child, he left her to do whatever it was that she needed to.*

*Malefica smiled and gave Icarus a friendly nod, placing the baby in the crib. She caressed her soft cheek and watched her sleep for a moment. She bent over the crib and kissed the little head lovingly, before she turned to Icarus.*
"I have to clean up after the childbirth. Could you keep an eye on her for a moment, please? I'll be right back."

*Icarus stopped with a heavy sigh. He should have known.*
"Go." *He muttered, turning back to the crib.*
*He studied the small creature detachedly. It was pink and squirming. And blowing bubbles of saliva in his general direction. It's arms flailed about aimlessly. He frowned.*
"I don't know what you need. You will just have to wait until she gets back."
*The baby grew more insistent, trying to pull itself closer to him.*
"Stop. I can't do anything if you can't tell me what you need..."
*He touched her head and suddenly there was a blossoming of golden curls as the baby's body swelled to that of a young girl, naked, save for a blanket and crouched in the crib.*
Oops.

*Malefica came back into the room, still drying her golden curls with a towel.*
"Sorry it took so long, I couldn't find my hairdryer anywh......"
*She looked at the girl with a puzzled look on her face, then she smiled.*
"Wow, that went fast!"

*Icarus looked up sheepishly.*
"I didn't mean..."
*He swelled indignantly.*
"Well at least now she can communicate her wants."

*Malefica smiled and kissed him.*
"Oh, Icarus! It wasn't your fault."
*She lifted up the girl and started dressing her, then kissed her.*
"With her genes, she was bound to grow up fast. I am a part goddess and a part.... the opposite. And you.... with your blood. Trust me, it really wasn't your fault.*

*Eden shifted uncomfortably in her mother's grasp as she was forced into the clothing. Yes, that would have to go. She pouted adorably.*

*Malefica finished the dressing of her daughter and kissed her golden hair.*
"There you are, sweetie. All dressed up. That wasn't too bad, was it?"
*She tickled her carefully, to see if she could get a smile from her daughter's sweet face.*

*Eden had been about to answer when she was unexpectedly poked. She frowned like...well, her father.*
"Mother, please don't. The dress is bad enough as it is."

*Malefica looked at her with a glimpse of surprise in her eyes, then she bursted out laughing.*
"Oh dear! You take after your father in everything, don't you? The frown and the way of talking.... Just like him. Or what do you say, Icarus?"
*Malefica turned to her husband with a teasing smile, then focused on Eden again, with a loving smile.*
"Well, if you don't like your dress, little miss, what do you want to wear?"

*Icarus just stood and stared. This was so abnormal. But Eden answered in simple childish bluntness.*
"Nothing, of course. I don't see why I should have to. It's not like it's that cold in here."

*Malefica laughed again, caressing the child's hair. She turned to Icarus and looked at him, questioning.*
"Well, dearest. Personally, I would prefer that you had some clothes on you. But I leave the decision to your father."

*She looked up at her father expectantly, gentle pout in her full lips.*

*Icarus lifted his hands defensively.*
"Why should it be my decision?"
I didn't even want her. I mean...I don't want her. Right.
"It's just in the house. Why should it matter if she's dressed?"
