Peter & Willow's bedroom, Cair Paravel, Wednesday evening

[willbedone]

Willow had had a long day, what with an early wake up call on behalf of someone who had felt very eager to meet the family.

Which was why, now, Willow was resting with her ohmygodactuallybornandrealnow son swaddled up and also resting nearby.

There was also a wee fennec fox on top of a bureau so that he could watch over everything

Peter was just barely keeping himself from unswaddling Alex and counting his fingers again just to make sure so he returned to Willow. He'd pingponged between the two of them possibly fifty times in the last twenty minutes.

"Is there anything I can get you?" he asked. Like he'd asked possibly twenty times in the past twenty minutes.

[willbedone]

"Actually yes," Willow said, because she could tell he was going to explode if not given the option. "Something very important, in fact."

[once_a_king]

"And what is that, your majesty?" Peter asked, fairly obviously relieved to be able to help.

[willbedone]

Willow grinned and tapped her cheek, indicating that she would like a kiss.

And lo, there is indeed a Bridge rapping quietly at the door.

"So, I'd say a little bird told me I should stop by, but it was actually a beaver who said so," he comments.

[willbedone]

Willow wiggled her fingers at Bridge in a buttery wave. "Hey. Come on in. Hope you don't mind if I don't get up."

"I think person-making earns you some sitting-down privileges," Bridge says, stepping inside.

[willbedone]

Willow's smile got even wider. She indicated Alex in his bassinet. "Person! Alex person. Alex, say hi to Uncle Bridge."

Where there is a Bridge, there's...presumably a river or other gap-like area that requires a safe mode of traverse, preferably with guardrails.

But also a Xander, because like he wouldn't be right behind and only letting Bridge knock because he's got the quieter knuckles what with the gloves and all.

"So I hear your tenant moved out?" he directed towards Willow with a bright grin.

"Alex!" Willow said, proudly indicating the baby in his bassinet. "Alex, this is Xander, who you are in part named after. Xander, this is the human being who used to be inside of me."

[needsaparrot]

Xander laid a hand on the edge of the bassinet and... tried not to loom. "Hi, kiddo. As a birthday present, I'm not encouraging your mom to figure out how much back-rent you owe her."

[willbedone]

"He can pay in cute, which he has in spades," Willow said. "Though spades seem like such an inefficient way of storing things. Why not have them in boxes, or even bags? Oh, and that's Kel, the baby monitor." Willow indicated the fennec fox on the bureau.

Lucy peeked in the door before scurrying to the side of the bed with a wide grin for both Peter and Wilow. "May I hold my nephew now?"

It was possible that Lucy was never, ever going to call the baby by his name.

[willbedone]

Willow smiled at her. "You may. Just be careful of his head. I'm required by parental law to say that, even if you already knew that's what you're supposed to do."

[valiant_lu]

"I've held many babies," Lucy said, meaning to be reassuring although none of those babies were human. "I'll be very, very careful with my nephew."

She moved over to the cradle, cooing to the baby and stroking her finger down his wee nose before very, very carefully picking him up.

"Don't drop him, Lu," Peter said quickly, half off the bed now so he could reach for Alex if it looked precarious.
