*Malefica laughed and kissed her son.*
"Well, close enough. We'll work on that when you grow older."
*She lifted him up and carried him over to the window, to let him look out.*

*Malefica looked happily at her baby, enjoying the feel of holding him in her arms.*
"Look sweetie. There are so much to see outside. And if you see here, you can see your own reflection in the window glass."
*She looked puzzled for a moment when she noticed that her own reflection was missing.*

*Not seeming to notice, Gawain gurgle merrily, grabbing at a lock of her hair.*
"Gthpppt."

*Malefica removed the hair from his mouth, afraid that he might choke on it, but allowed him to keep his tiny fist in the mouth. She knew this was the way babies oriented themselves about the world. She lifted him up in her arms, rocking him gently as she started singing for him.*
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high, Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are!
When the blazing sun is gone, When he nothing shines upon, Then you show your little light, Twinkle, twinkle, all the night. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are!
Then the traveler in the dark Thanks you for your tiny spark; He could not see which way to go, If you did not twinkle so. Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are!

*Malefica wrapped her arms around her baby and held him close.*
"I love you, sweetheart. It's time for you to sleep now. And you can sleep in Momma's arms tonight."
*She walked over to the bed, laying down with the little child in her arms. She wrapped the blanket around them both, and kissed her son once more.*
"Good night my sweet little child."
*She whispered gently.*

*Malefica looked down at the sleeping baby in her arms. She was so happy that she started to sing. Her heart was filled with gratitude for the gift she had received: Her beloved son back in her arms.*
I believe for every drop of rain that falls a flower grows I believe that somewhere in the darkest night a candle glows I believe for everyone who goes astray someone will come to show the way I believe, I believe
I believe above the storm the smallest prayer will still be heard I believe that someone in the great somewhere hears every word Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky Then I know why I believe
Every time I hear a newborn baby cry or touch a leaf or see the sky Then I know why I believe

****NEXT DAY, IN THE AFTERNOON***
((I am placing the time to the afternoon, because Malefica will meet Lilith and fight with her on the way back to Mondego Mansion. And in this fight it is night. This gives Mal some time with Gawain before leaving.))
*Merlin entered the nursery and smiled as he saw the sleeping woman with the baby in her arms.*
"Good afternoon. I know the two of you have played the night away, but I thought I should wake you up before you loose another night. Your new husband must start wondering where you are."

*Malefica woke up with a start, looking around her. She had those nightmares again, about her mother Lillith and about Loke. She held Gawain close to her heart, ready to protect him with her own life. When she noticed it was Merlin speaking to her, she relaxed and smiled.*
"Oh, good... did you say afternoon? Oh no! What will Vladislaus say? I have to go back soon."
*She caressed Gawain's head with a loving smile.*
"Good morning, sunshine."

*Malefica looked down at her baby and felt how she melted just by looking at him. He was so adorably sweet when he woke up. She spoke mildly to him.*
"Are mommas little boy hungry?"
*Merlin left the room to give mother and child some privacy. As soon as he had left, Malefica unlaced her dress, offering her chest to Gawain. She didn't want to have her child not eating TWO days in a row.*
