*Icarus was grateful for the reprieve. Things were so complicated right now. He felt adrift. And being around her only forced him to realize it. And that was a rather sad thought. He slipped out of the room and up the stairs.*

*Malefica started knitting some adorable socks for the baby. She knitted fast, and they were soon finished. Then she started knitting a hat. She made sure that the yarn was the softest wool, so it would feel comfortable to wear.*

*Malefica smiled and looked warmly at her.*
"The clothes I am knitting for you are in my other basket. I am making you a new jumper. But these clothes are for the baby. Soon, you are going to have a brother or sister."

*Eden grew silent as the statement as everything clicked.*
"But...why are you having another child?"

*Malefica smiled and kissed her daughter.*
"I thought it would be fun for you to have someone to play with. There are not many children around in this neighborhood."

*Eden frowned. That was a stupid reason. She couldn't believe that was all of it.*
"So? You could just have Figwit come over more often. We play just fine."

*Malefica embraced her daughter and pulled her onto her lap, embracing her lovingly.*
"Figwit is always welcome here, you know that. And the new baby can't change the love I feel for you. You are my baby girl, and you always will be."

Uh huh.
*Eden tried not to squirm.*
"So...what's the real reason? Am I not good enough?"

*Malefica kissed her daughter and held her even closer.*
"Eden, how can you say that? You are more than good enough. I love you and I am very proud of you. You are the best daughter in the world."

"I have no choice, Eden. You know that I am the Guardian of The Holy Grail, right?"

And?
*Eden nodded, fighting the urge not to squirm.*
"So?"
