Asher's POV
Dash is purely delighted to have Sienna back. Sure we did grieve for Avery for days, but we were at least alright just knowing that Sienna could wake up one day.
It is quite amazing how she went into a coma because of the amount of wolfsbane in her. In the absence of her wolf, it took her months to get all the wolfsbane out of her system. Doctor Steph explained to me that usually for fair amounts of wolfsbane, the wolf side usually heals even though it takes a few days. But because the large amount of wolfsbane made Sienna's wolf Hayley go into a deep unconscious state, Sienna slipped into a coma too.
"But things are not going to be like old times, for sure," Dash tells me as we both stare at the sunrise.
I took Dash to an early morning run and he is howling in happiness since the run has started. Not just me, but Sienna's the one who actually went through a lot the last one year. She got engaged to me. She found her mate, got married and lost him. Now she got out of a coma as she was giving birth to her child.
Sienna did not think twice before breastfeeding my baby. Now that Sienna is here, my baby will have a motherly figure. Lucia would check on her here and there but she has a son who can always be a handful so I cannot complain. She did try her best.
"Things will not be like old times indeed. We both have kids and no partners. The pack doesn't have a Luna and Gamma is still recovering. Things aren't going to be like how they were back then" I agree with Dash as he stands up to finish the run so we can get back to the pack house and check on my daughter.
Dash is a black wolf who always amazes me. Sienna's wolf, Hayley, is a red wolf. Her mate Logan was a human, and my wife Avery was a witch. So even during the wolf runs, it was just us. I have millions of memories with Sienna, so losing her would literally throw me into depression.
Once the run is over and I reach the pack house, I calmly open the door to my baby's nursery. She is still sleeping and I let her be.
I choose to wear nice clothes after all these months. Trust me when I say nice clothes and after months. Because sometimes I wouldn't even care if my clothes matched or even looked good. Many times when people from other packs came to meet me, they mistook me for an Omega and if it wasn't for my Alpha Aura, sure as hell would have treated me like an Omega too.
Even though I shaved just a week ago, I shave again. I trim my hair just a little so I look at least presentable. I shower and walk downstairs, and just when I reach the living room I hear my mom gasp.
"Oh My Goodness, is this my son?" She asks in a dramatic way and I just laugh.
"Yes, this is your son" I tell her and she walks towards me.
"Good to know that your feelings for Sienna wouldn't change even for -"
"Mom" I cut her off and shook my head but she grabbed my hand and made me sit on the couch, and then sat beside me, still holding my hand like I held Sienna's hand last evening.
"I am your mother" she whispers and I don't say anything to her again. I let her think whatever she would like to think.
"Ask Sienna to come home. She has no one now" mom says and my smile turns into a frown.
I did not tell her about her mom. Sienna lost her dad two crimson rituals ago. She lost her mate, the father of her child during the last crimson ritual. She went into a coma later so she has a lot to know. Including the death of her mother.
But Doctor Steph told us all to give her some time before filling up on the bad news. She is still recovering mentally and she needs her space.
"Of course she is going to live here. This is her home as much as mine" I tell and mom smiles.
"Breakfast?" She asks and I shake my head, walking towards my daughter's nursery. Looking at her, still sleeping.. for the first time I wondered what to call her as.
I can sense my mom's presence behind me and she is probably looking at my baby too. I did not even notice that I have been calling her my baby, my daughter and sweetie but never really gave her name a thought.
Of course I am a bad father!
"What name do you think would suit her?" I whisper, asking my mom and she just chuckles.
"She is pretty so any name would suit her. Go with what you like" mom says as she walks away to carry on with her duties for the day.
I make sure everything is right but I still take her with me anyways. My daughter woke up when we were just before the hospital and her eyes look curious as she looks at everything.
I walk into Sienna's room where she is playing with her baby.
"Thank Goodness you are here. Because of Hayley's absence, I couldn't even mindlink" Sienna says as soon as she notices me and I look at her confused. Was she waiting for me?
"Give her to me" she asks, taking my baby into her arms and giving me her baby. She looks a lot like Logan.
I look at Sienna and she is already breastfeeding my baby. I have no words. I couldn't even say anything.
"Did you think of a name yet?" She asks me and I shake my head. Doesn't matter how much I think of it, I cannot come up with a name.
"Did you?" I ask her back and she nods.
"But I am not going to tell you until you name her as well," Sienna says as she holds my baby's hand and places it on her cheek. My baby is eager to hold Sienna's face, making her smile.
"I seriously don't know..." I almost whine and even I am surprised at how I sounded like. Even before all this, I wasn't like this. Maybe everything changed me over time.
"Alright. Tell me what comes to your mind when you see her. When you hold her" Sienna asks me and I think of a word. There are many. But the first time I held her, I only thought of how delicate she was.
"Delicate" I whisper and Sienna smiles.
"Well, your daughter now has a name. Delilah" Sienna smiles, as she gives me my baby and instructs me to make sure she burps. I am learning all new things now that Sienna is here.
"Delilah" I whispered while holding my baby and she smiled wide for the first time.
"Delilah Avery Nelson" I say again, kissing her forehead.
"What is your baby's name?" I ask Sienna and she looks at her baby lovingly.
"This is a new beginning for me. A beginning to my second life and I literally came back to life when I was giving birth to her. So I wanted to name her something that means beginning" she says and I am curious.
My baby is now wiggling in my arms, making Sienna laugh and take her as well. Sienna is now on her hospital bed with two baby girls in her arms.
"She is Genesis" Sienna pauses looking at her baby, "I couldn't come up with a middle name yet. Maybe soon"
I don't say anything. I sit before her as I look at her call the babies by their names. These moments seem so perfect that my heart is racing. Because nothing had been this peaceful my entire life.
But this time if something happens to any of these three, I am positive that this world is going to see me in a different light.
